Product Description Interfaces 93
1.6.1.2 Nibble Mode
SPECIFICATION
 Transmission mode: 8 bit parallel
 Synchronization: By STROBE pulse
 Handshaking: By BUSY and ACKNLG signal
 Signal level: TTL compatible (IEEE1284Level 1 device)
 Data trans. timing: Refer to the IEEE-1284 specification
 Extensibility Request:
The printer responds affirmatively when the extensibility request values are 00H
or 04H, that mean,
 00H Request Nibble Mode Reverse Channel Transfer.
