The IEEE 1284 interface is faster and more versatile than Centronics and
supports bidirectional communication. Chapter 5 discusses the available modes
(Compatibility, Nibble, and Byte) in more detail. Configuration of this interface is
controlled from the host.
Prime Signal
Determines whether the parallel port will perform a warm start (a reboot) if the
host asserts the Prime Signal.
Enable (a warm start will occur)
Disable (a warm start will not occur)
TOF Action
TOF (Top-of-Form) Action determines whether or not a form feed is performed
before a warm start when the prime signal is asserted from the host. This setting
is used only if the Prime Signal parameter is enabled.
Reset (form feed on reset)
None (no form feed on reset)
Buffer Size in K
This option configures the amount of memory allocated for the IEEE 1284 parallel
port buffer. You can specify between 1 and 16 Kbytes, in 1–Kbyte increments.
