Datasheet
BIT 3 nERR - nERROR
The level on the nERROR input is read by the CPU as bit 3 of the Printer Status Register. A logic 0
means an error has been detected; a logic 1 means no error has been detected.
BIT 4 SLCT - PRINTER SELECTED STATUS
The level on the SLCT input is read by the CPU as bit 4 of the Printer Status Register. A logic 1 means
the printer is on line; a logic 0 means it is not selected.
BIT 5 PE - PAPER END
The level on the PE input is read by the CPU as bit 5 of the Printer Status Register. A logic 1 indicates a
paper end; a logic 0 indicates the presence of paper.
BIT 6 nACK - nACKNOWLEDGE
The level on the nACK input is read by the CPU as bit 6 of the Printer Status Register. A logic 0 means
that the printer has received a character and can now accept another. A logic 1 means that it is still
processing the last character or has not received the data.
BIT 7 nBUSY - nBUSY
The complement of the level on the BUSY input is read by the CPU as bit 7 of the Printer Status Register.
A logic 0 in this bit means that the printer is busy and cannot accept a new character. A logic 1 means that
it is ready to accept the next character.
CONTROL PORT
ADDRESS OFFSET = 02H
The Control Port is located at an offset of '02H' from the base address. The Control Register is initialized
by the RESET input, bits 0 to 5 only being affected; bits 6 and 7 are hard wired low.
BIT 0 STROBE - STROBE
This bit is inverted and output onto the nSTROBE output.
BIT 1 AUTOFD - AUTOFEED
This bit is inverted and output onto the nAUTOFD output. A logic 1 causes the printer to generate a line
feed after each line is printed. A logic 0 means no autofeed.
BIT 2 nINIT - nINITIATE OUTPUT
This bit is output onto the nINIT output without inversion.
BIT 3 SLCTIN - PRINTER SELECT INPUT
This bit is inverted and output onto the nSLCTIN output. A logic 1 on this bit selects the printer; a logic 0
means the printer is not selected.
BIT 4 IRQE - INTERRUPT REQUEST ENABLE
The interrupt request enable bit when set to a high level may be used to enable interrupt requests from the
Parallel Port to the CPU. An interrupt request is generated on the IRQ port by a positive going nACK
input. When the IRQE bit is programmed low the IRQ is disabled.
