(2) Printer Interface Logic
The parallel portion of the SMC37C669 makes the attachment of various devices that accept eight bits of parallel
data at standard TTL level.
(3) Data Swapper
The system microprocessor can read the contents of the printer’ s Data Latch through the Data Swapper by reading
the Data Swapper address.
