Configuring the Printer

Paper Instruction Pol

Values:

Standard or Inverted.

It must be set to match the host computer.

PI Line is used to enable or disable paper motion.

Strobe Filter

Values:

Enable or Disable.

It must be set to match the host computer.

When set to the short filtering mode, this filter will reject all NSTROBE pulses

of less than 63 ns. When set to the default long filtering mode, all strobes of less

than 313 ns will be rejected.

Fast Busy

Values:

Enable or Disable.

It must be set to match the host computer.

In fast busy mode (default), busy will be driven high when the data has been

successfully clocked into the printer. In slow busy mode, busy will be asserted

only if needed to delay the interface for some reason. In this mode, the host must

wait for the NACK pulse before sending the next word of data. The use of slow

busy mode is not recommended.

Trailing Edge

Values:

Enable or Disable.

It must be set to match the host computer.

Normally, data is sampled from the data lines [8–1] on the falling edge of the

filtered NSTROBE signal. This option allows the data to be sampled on the

rising, or trailing, edge.
