(2) Program ROM This is a 256 × 16 bits (4M bit) [MAX] EPROM with the control program for the printer stored. The MPU executes instructions under this program. The program ROM is assigned to the program memory area of the MPU and is fetched by the PSEN signal of the MPU. The following shows the operation of the memory access. MPU ROM A0~A17 D0~D15 PG-N CSO CE PSEN OE MPU CLOCK A0~A17 PG-N PSEN-N Program Program Program D0~D15 IN IN IN 2 – 3

2.1.3 Initialization This printer is initialized when the power is turned on or when the I-PRIME-N signal is input from the host side via the parallel interface. For the initialize operation, the RST-N signal is first output from the reset circuit to reset the MPUs and LSIs. When resetting ends, the program starts and the LSIs are reset by MPU via LSIRST-N. Reset operation by I-PRIME starts program to initialize, but does not reset the MPU. The program here sets the mode of the LSI including the

2.1.4 Parallel Interface Control The parallel data input from the host to the interfaced LSI is latched to its internal register at the falling edge of the STROBE-N signal. At the same time, the LSI sets the BUSY signal to the high level to inform the host that the data is being processed, and outputs the RXD signal to inform the MPU of data reception. The data is read upon receiving the RD-N signal from the MPU. When the data processing ends, the BUSY signal is set to off and the ACK-N signal i
