The Centronix Interface (1664A Only)
The Centronix interface is Agilent Technologies' implementation of the
industry standard parallel printer interface. Note that the Centronix
interface can only be used as a printer interface, and is not intended for use
with a controller.
With this interface, 8-bits of data are sent in parallel (at the same time) to the
printer, with seven additional lines used for handshaking, status, and timing.
