The IEEE 1284 interface is faster and more versatile than Centronics and supports bidirectional communication. Chapter 5 discusses the available modes (Compatibility, Nibble, and Byte) in more detail. 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
