Zusammenfassung:PURPOSE: To make an operator confirm the state of a printer without going to the place of the printer by making a data processor report whether information transmitted to the printer is data signals or state signals. CONSTITUTION: A computer 40 which is the data processor is connected to the printer 41 by a cable 42. When the power of the computer 40 and the printer 41 is turned ON, it is assumed that they are operated in a mode where the printer 41 is placed in a single direction. In order to activate a bidirectional mode so as to make the printer 41 able to transmit and receive the information, the computer 41 sets-INIT to low and the printer 41 sets +BUSY to high in response to it. When the printer 41 is prepared to receive a state command, +BUSY is turned low. In the case that the printer 41 does not set +BUSY, it is assumed that the computer 40 can not respond whether the printer 41 is unidiretional or bidirectional due to the fault of a hardware.
