Interface

The Series 150 Printer supports either a serial or parallel

 

 

 

communication link.

 

 

 

Parallel Mode

This setting should not be changed except from parallel to

 

 

 

IEEE 1284.

Parallel Link

The parallel option features define how the strobe, busy, and

 

 

Options

acknowledge signals operate. In normal mode, the printer

 

 

 

follows the standard (Centronics) parallel port conventions.

 

 

 

With Options 1 and 3, the acknowledge and busy signals

 

 

 

change at the same time. This is sometimes referred to as

 

 

 

Ack-after-Busy. Options 2 and 3 force busy high on the rising

 

 

 

edge of strobe. This is sometimes referred to as Busy-while-

 

 

 

Strobe timing. In all cases, the data is latched on the rising

 

 

 

edge of the strobe. In most cases, the normal timing mode

 

 

 

will give the best and most universal results.
