Pin No. 1 Signal Name STROBE Vo IN Description STROBE is a strobe pulse used to read data from the host computer. The pulse width must be more than 0.5 psec. Normally it is HIGH, and data is latched at the trailing edge of this signal. DATA 1 to 8 are pa~llel data bits. When the signal is HIGH, the data bit is 1, and when it is LOW, the data bit is O. The most significant bit (MSB) is DATA8. The signal state must be maintained for 0.5 psec. on either side of the STROBE signal active edge. ACKNLG is an acknowledge pulse with an approximate width of 1 or 10 wee. This signal goes LOW when the data reception is completed, which indicates that the printer can accept new data. Timing with the BUSY signal is specified through SelecType. The BUSY signal informs the host computer of the printer state. When the signal is HIGH, the printer cannot accept data. The PE signal indicates paper empty for the standard tray selected through SelecType or command, or for the optional paper cassette. Paper empty is indicated by HIGH. Use at reverse mode. Not USd.

It maintains "MARK" state (LOW level) between received character codes. Transmission request signal output from the printer. It is always at HIGH level during power ON. Always ignored. Signal input to the printer. The printer can transmit data through TXD while DSR is at HIGH level. X-ON/X-OFF, however, can be transmitted regardless of DSR state. It can always be ignored by setting SelecType (factory setting). Ground. Always ignored. See note 4. See note 4. No connect. See note 4. No connect. Signal output by printer. When the DTR signals HIGH, the RXD signal can be received by the printer. The SelecType settings do not specify DTR control, the signal level is HIGH while the printer power is on. When SelecType setting is used for DTR control, DTR goes LOW in case of any error conditions. The data (RXD) from host computer must be stopped within 128 characters after DTR goes LOW. No connect.

Logic O is "SPACE" and logic 1 is "MARK" state must be maintained between transmitted character codes. RD+, RD-: Serial ASCII data input from the computer. HIGH level; when RD+ voltage is higher than RD- voltage. LOW level; when RD+ voltage is less than RD- voltage. Logic O is "SPACE" and logic 1 is "MARK" state must be maintained between transmitted character codes.
Handshaking
When the vacant area for data in the input buffer drops to 256 bytes, the printer outputs an X-OFF code or sets the DTR signal level to LOW, indicating that the printer cannot receive more data. Once the vacant area for data in the buffer recovers to 512 bytes, the printer outputs an X-ON code or sets the DTR flag to HIGH, indicating that the printer is again ready to receive data.
Protocol
There are two types of protocols, as listed below, and each of them can be designated by SelecType independently. 9 DTR/DSR protocol SelecType is used to execute the DTR/DSR control protocol. l%e DTR signal is set to HIGH when the printer is ready to receive data, and to LOW when conditions indicate an error or that the receiving buffer is full. When the error is cleared and the printer returns to on-line mode, the signal returns to HIGH. When SelecType is used to set the DTR control OFF, DTR is always set HIGH. The printer transmits TXD only when DSR is at the HIGH level (DSR is always considered HIGH when the SelecType setting for DSR is OFF). X-ON/X~FF transmission is independent of the DSR state. 9 X-ON/X-OFF (DC1/DC3) protocol SelecType is used to execute the X-ON/X-Ow protocol. The X-OFF (DC3) code is output if status indicates an error, and the printer warns the host to stop data transmission within 128 characters. No further X-OFF codes are sent in response to additional data received from the host after the X-OFF code has been sent once. The X-ON (DCl) code is output after all conditions given in the error are cleared. When the remaining capacity of the receive buffer reaches 256 characters, X-OFF (DC3) is output once. It is sent only once, even if there are multiple errors. The printer goes on line automatically at power on, and outputs an X-ON code. Transmission of X~N/X-OFF codes can be defined by SelecType.

1.4.6 Emulation Mode Switch Function
This section describes the emulation mode switch function.
1.4.6.1 Emulation Switch by SPL
The two types of emulation switch functions described below are available on this printer. Together they are referred to as SPL (Shared Printer Language).
EJL: EPSON Job Language
This is EPSON's original language system. It is able to skip among various destinations, as shown in Figure 1-12.
PJL: Printer Job Language
This is HP's original language, which is available with the LaserJet 4 printer. It is able to skip among various destinations, as shown in Figure 1-12. The precise specifications for this language are based on the HP LaserJet 4. The figure below shows three types of mode switching. Neither EJL nor PJL switches the mode directly. They first exit the current mode and return to EJL or PJL. Then they enter another mode. W4
EPSON GL2
Figure 1-12. Emulation Switch by SPL
1.4.6.2 Intelligent Emulation Switch The Intelligent Emulation Switch (IES) automatically switches the emulation switch mode, depending on the data sent from the host computer through one of the interface channels. It is able to switch between EPSON Script and other modes as shown in the figure below.

1.4.7 Bi Resolution improvement Technology
The EPL-5600/ActionLaser 1600 printers have BiRiTech @i Resolution Improvement t Technology), which is designed to improve print quality at 6MI dpi and 300 dpi. By this method, the dot map data extracted from the image data is reassembled to impmve print data. The main improvement of this technique is in eliminating "jaggies" in diagoml lines. It is most effective when the dot map data fits the development characteristics of the printer mecbnism well. his therefore nemssary to set appropriate values in SelecType.

Note:
+'00(When 600 DPI printing) Figure 1-14. Effect of BiRiTech
BiRITech is not as effective for printing a mesh pattern or gray scale. In such cases, BiRITech must be set to OFF. (The default setting is MEDIUM.) Since the BiRITech effect depends on the toner condition, it should be adjusted when the imaging cartridge is replaced or after the imaging cartridge is used for a long time.
The following settings are available in SelecType Level for RITech: DARK, MEDIUM, LIGHT, OFF. When the toner density of area A is almost the same as that of area B (as shown in the figure below), the RITech setting is at its optimum setting. In other words, the optimum setting is achieved when it is difficult to distinguish the shape of area A from that of B. A
