IEEE1284 PARALLEL INTERFACE
The parallel interface is a Plug-In, bi-directional, Interface Module that can be installed by the
user. It conforms to the IEEE1284 specification. It will automatically detect the IEEE1284 signals
and operate in the high speed mode. If it does not detect the IEEE1284 signals, it will operate in
the standard Centronics mode, which is significantly slower. For this reason, an interface cable
and host interface conforming to the IEEE1284 specification must be present to fully utilize the
speed capabilities.
