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