Note:

The column heading ”Direction” refers to the direction of signal flow in A to or out of the printer.

nStrobe/HostClk

Compatibility mode: Latch pulse used to read in print data. When low, DATA is valid

Negotiation phase: Latch pulse used to read in extensibility request values

Nibble mode: Always high

ECP mode: Used to transfer data and addresses from the host to the printer with handshaking via PeriphAck (Busy)

DATA1 to DATA8 (bidirectional, but may always be an input if ECP or EPP mode is not supported)

Compatibility mode: Forward channel data

Negotiation phase: Extensibility request value
