Printer-to-Computer Communication (Advanced Status)
The printer has a standard IEEE 1284-B compliant connector and is an IEEE 1284-I
compliant device. The optional RS-232C Serial/Parallel 1284-C Interface Card has an
IEEE 1284-C compliant connector and is an IEEE 1284-I compliant device.
Your printer could be considered an IEEE 1284-II compliant device if the “C” to “B”
style connector converter were used. The printer exceeds the maximum allowable
circuit capacitance for Level II interfaces. Compliance with IEEE 1284-II may slow data
flow control time slightly; however, all minimum and maximum criteria set forth in IEEE
1284 documentation will be met.
The printer supports:
•
Compatibility mode
• Nibble mode
• Byte mode
• ECP mode
