I-Data 812-1x MIO Benutzerhandbuch

The PAR.DATA indicator LED  has 2 states which indicate the follow-
ing:

Parallel interface inactive.

Parallel interface active.

As previously mentioned, tests are primarily selected via the line.
However, the [TEST] key may be used to activate the following:

•

Test 4, Setup printout

followed by

•

Test 1, ONLINE HEX dump.

An examples of the Setup printout obtained by activating the tests
can be found in  Chapter 10, Test Settings Printout.

On the ida 812-1x MIO it is possible to use parallel output from an
IBM PC, as the printer interface contains a printer sharing module.
For both the twinax port and the parallel port, you can program a
user string to be used for initialisation in a share situation. This
string is defined via FSL Function 100 "Port Sharing Option", where
a timeout is specified (See  Chapter 7. and Appendix A. for further
details on FSL functions).

The printer sharing module may be in one of two states:

•

Twinax session mode

•

Parallel session mode

When none of the modes are active, the twinax line will answer
READY and the twinax and parallel lines are polled in turn.

If data is sent on the parallel line, the module will enter Parallel
Session mode. The twinax line will answer that the unit is  HOLD.

Y100 for the parallel port is defined via Y246 (See Chapter 7. for further details).
