Communications Test and Two-way Communications (Parallel Cable)
When connected with a parallel printer cable, the printer software tests the
communication between the computer and the printer, telling you if you have
two-way communication. Two-way communication allows information to pass
between the printer and the computer. If you do not have two-way
communication, your printer cannot send messages to the computer. However,
you can still print.
