Some
application
programs
require
a
unique
configuration.
If
the
printer
is
not
working
properly
in
the
configuration
you
have
selected,
contact
an
IBM
service
representative.
IEEE
1284
Parallel
Interface
The
IEEE
1284
is
a
parallel
interface
with
bidirectional
capabilities.
Features
include
the
following:
Faster
data
transmission.
Timing
of
the
signals
has
been
reduced.
Bidirectional
communication.
Both
the
host
and
the
printer
can
send
data.
Versatility.
If
a
device
cannot
send
data
along
particular
lines,
the
1284
can
work
around
this
and
send
data
via
other
operating
modes,
such
as
Nibble
Mode
which
is
discussed
later.
Less
user
interaction.
The
host
can
ask
the
printer
about
printing
status
and
supported
features,
such
as
fonts
and
internal
errors.
For
example,
instead
of
having
to
physically
check
if
the
printer
has
run
out
of
paper,
you
can
create
a
program
to
query
this
from
the
host.
The
printer
will
respond
and
a
message
will
display
on
the
host.
Operating
Modes
The
1284
supports
three
operating
modes,
which
are
determined
by
negotiation
between
the
printer
and
the
host.
Compatibility
Mode
This
mode
provides
compatibility
with
a
Centronics
or
PC
Parallel
interface
(see
Table
8).
Data
is
transferred
from
the
host
to
the
printer
in
8-bit
bytes
over
the
data
lines.
Compatibility
Mode
can
be
combined
with
Nibble
and
Byte
Modes
to
provide
bidirectional
communication.
Nibble
Mode
Eight
bits
equals
one
byte.
When
a
byte
of
data
is
sent
to
the
printer,
the
eight
bits
are
sent
over
eight
data
lines.
Some
devices
cannot
send
data
over
their
eight
data
lines.
To
bypass
this,
the
1284
permits
data
to
be
sent
as
half
a
byte
over
four
status
lines.
(Half
a
byte
equals
one
nibble.)
Two
sequential
four-bit
nibbles
are
sent
over
the
lines.
Data
is
transferred
from
printer
to
host
in
four-bit
nibbles
over
the
status
lines,
and
the
host
controls
the
transmission.
