IEEE 1284 Parallel Cable Information

The IEEE 1284 parallel interface is compatible with Centronics parallel
interfaces. To take advantage of its enhanced capabilities such as
bi-directional communication between the computer and printer, faster
transmission of data, and auto configuration of printer drivers the customer
must have:
•Support in software applications for these features.
•A parallel cable with the correct pin configuration (see Figure B-1 on the
following page).
