(2) Printer Interface Logic
The parallel port of the W83977F-A is for attaching 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.
(4) Printer Status Buffer
The system microprocessor can read the printer status by reading the address of the Printer Status Buffer. The bit
definitions are described as follows:
