Chapter 4 HOST INTERFACE
120
IEEE 1284 Parallel (Bidirectional) Submenu
The IEEE® 1284 interface supports bidirectional communication.
Configuration of this interface is controlled from the host.

Prime Signal

•Enable. The parallel port will perform a warm start (reboot) if the
host asserts the Prime Signal.
•Disable. The parallel port will not perform a warm start (reboot) if
the host asserts the Prime Signal.

TOF Action

•Reset. 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.
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.
