Product Description

1.1 FEATURES
Minerva+ is a 24-pin serial dot-matrix and flat-bed type impact printer. As this printer follows on DLQ-3000 (MINERVA+), the main future is almost same as DLQ-3000 (MINERVA). The main features are ; t Two built-in and one optional I/F Bi-Directional Parallel Interface (IEEE-1284 nibble mode) Serial Interface Type-B Interface (Option)

The exterior view of DLQ-3000 (MINERVA+) is the same as DLQ-3000 (MINERVA).

1.2 INTERFACE OVERVIEW

The printer provides an 8-bit Bi-directional parallel interface and serial interface as standard. Moreover, it is possible to interface to various computers using the optional type-B interface board. This section describes the specifications of the standard interfaces.

1.2.1 Parallel Interface Specifications

1.2.1.1 Forward Channel
Transmission mode: Synchronization: Handshaking: Signal level: Adaptable connector: Data transmission timing: 8-bit parallel, IEEE-1284 compatible mode By STROBE pulse By BUSY and ACKNLG signal TTL-compatible level, IEEE-1284 level 1 device 57-30360 (Amphenol) or equivalent See Figure 1-1.

Note:

Transition time (rise time and fall time) of every input signal must be less than 200 ns and every output signal must be less than 120 ns.

The BUSY signal is at a HIGH level before either -ERROR signal is at a LOW level or the PE signal is at a HIGH level until all these signals return to their inactive state. The BUSY signal is at a HIGH level in the following cases: During data reception (see the figure above) When the input buffer is full When the INIT input signal is active During initialization When the ERROR signal is active In the self-test mode In the SelecType When the parallel interface is not selected.

The ERROR signal is at a LOW level when the printer is in one of the following conditions: Printer hardware error (fatal error) A paper-out error Release lever operation error

PE signal is at a HIGH level during paper out error.

Product Description

Table 1-1 shows the connector pin assignments and signal functions for the 8-bit parallel interface.

Table 1-1. Signal and Connector Pin Assignments for Parallel Interface (Forward Channel)
Pin No. 1 Signal Name STROBE Return GND Pin 19 I/O In Description Strobe pulse. Input data is latched at the falling edge of this signal. Parallel input data to the printer. Active-HIGH input. LSB: DATA1 MSB: DATA8 Indicates that data has been received and the printer is ready to accept more data. A HIGH level means the printer cannot accept further data. A HIGH level means a paper-out error. Always the logical opposite of the ERROR signal. Always at a HIGH level (pulled up to +5 V through a 1K-ohm resistor). Auto feed execution means that a line feed is automatically performed upon input of a CR code. Checked when the printer is initialized. Active-LOW signal. Initialize printer. Minimum 50 s pulse is necessary. Active-LOW signal. A LOW level means that an error has occurred. Not used. Pulled up to +5V and shorted to +5V via Schottky diode, making these signals appear low to the host when the printer is turned off. Chassis GND Signal GND Not used. Not connected.
