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.
