Interface The Series 150 Printer supports either a serial or parallel
communication link.
Parallel Mode This setting should not be changed except from parallel to
IEEE 1284.
Parallel

Parallel Link
Options The parallel option features define how the strobe, busy, and
acknowledge signals operate. In normal mode, the printer
follows the standard (Centronics) parallel port conventions.
With Options 1 and 3, the acknowledge and busy signals
change at the same time. This is sometimes referred to as
Ack-after-Busy. Options 2 and 3 force busy high on the rising
edge of strobe. This is sometimes referred to as Busy-while-
Strobe timing. In all cases, the data is latched on the rising
edge of the strobe. In most cases, the normal timing mode
will give the best and most universal results.

Option 1 Ack-after-Busy
Option 2 Ack-while-Busy
Option 3 Ack-after-Busy
Parity The serial mode parity can be set to none, odd, or even.
