The IEEE 1284 interface is faster and more versatile than
Centronics and supports bidirectional communication.
Configuration of this interface is controlled from the host. Refer to
"IEEE 1284 Parallel Interface" on page 286 more details about the
available modes (Compatibility, Nibble, and Byte).
Prime Signal
•
Disable (default). The parallel port will not perform a warm start
(reboot) if the host asserts the prime signal.
•
Enable. The parallel port will perform a warm start (reboot) if
the host asserts the prime signal.
TOF Action
•
Reset (default). 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.
•
Do Nothing. Nothing occurs before a warm start when the
prime signal is asserted from the host.
