GPIB Handshaking
GPIB handshaking converts PC parallel port handshaking into GPIB handshaking protocol. This
process is transparent to you.
GPIB Addressing
On printer/plotter initialization, the GPIB-LPT checks to see if the printer/plotter is listening; if not,
the GPIB-LPT addresses it as a listener using the GPIB listen address on the onboard switches.
