The MX-70 includes a parallel interface as the standard equipment, and this
paragraph describes the parallel interface.
(1) Specifications
(a) Data transfer rate: 1000 CPS (max.)
(b) Synchronization:
(b) Synchronization:
By externally supplied STROBE pulses.
(cl Handshaking:
By ACKNLG or BUSY signals.
(d) Logic level:
Input data and all interface control signals are
compatible with the TTL level.
(2) Connector
Plug: 57-30360 (AMPHENOL)
It is recommended that interface cables be kept as short as possible

Description
STROBE pulse to read data In Pulse width
must be more than 0.5µs at receiving
terminal The signal level
must be more than 0.5µs at receiving
terminal The signal level
IS
normally
“HIGH”. read-In of data
IS
performed at
the transit to “LOW” level of thus signal
These signals represent information of the
1st to 8th bits of parallel data respectively
Each signal
IS
at “HIGH” level when data
IS
logical “1” and “LOW” when logical
“ 0 ”
The logical state of each data must be
held as
held as
IS
until the BUSY signal comes
“LOW” level again.
Approx 5µs pulse “LOW” Indicates that
data has been received and that the
printer
data has been received and that the
printer
IS
ready to accept other data
A “HIGH” signal indicates that the printer
cannot receive data The signal becomes
“HIGH” in the following cases’
cannot receive data The signal becomes
“HIGH” in the following cases’
