FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Before the line printer can print, it needs a data source from which it receives data for printing. The off-line data source is
the self-test circuit inside the printer. The on-line data source is a computer.
The printer sends a Ready From Printer (RFP) signal to the data source that it is ready to print (fig. 1-4). The data source
begins sending character line sets. The printer stores one line set at a time in its memory. At the same time, it sends a
Full Count (FCNT) signal to the data source that its line set is complete. It then prints the line. Immediately, it sends an
RFP signal to the data source, and starts the cycle over again. This continues until the printer receives no new data. It
then generates a Print Complete (PC) signal and stops printing.
