The IEEE 1284 interface is faster and more versatile than that of the Centronics
interface and supports bidirectional communication. The configuration of this
interface is controlled from the host.
Prime Signal
• Enable. This parallel port will perform a warm start (reboot) when the
host asserts the Prime Signal.
• Disable. This parallel port will not perform a warm start (reboot) when
the host asserts the Prime Signal.
TOF Action
• Reset. A form feed is done before a warm start when the Prime Signal is
asserted from the host. This setting is used only if the Prime Signal
parameter is asserted.
• Do Nothing. Nothing occurs before a warm start when the Prime Signal
is asserted from the host.
