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.
