IEEE 1284 Parallel (Bidirectional)
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.

Enable. The parallel port will 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.

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 1-Kbyte
increments.
