H.2.4.3 Notes
1) The start of negotiation phase shall be defined with rising edge of 1284-Active signal.
2) The timing to start negotiation in the Compatibility Mode shall be in principle after nAck pulse has
been developed following nStrobe.
After the rising edge of nStrobe, by detecting the rising edge of 1284-Active signal before or during
the output of nAck, the interface enters the negotiation phase. In this case, when the termination
is followed by the Compatibility Mode, nAck pulse is not developed.
3) Negotiation is available from Busy or Error state in the Compatibility Mode. In this case, the
termination fails to lead to the original Busy or Error state but to the printer status after termination.
4) If the printer fails to support the communication mode requested by the host, the host shall enter
the Termination phase then return to the Compatibility Mode. (Refer to H.2.4.2.)

* The printer is designed to work with only Nibble/Byte and thus it responds with negative Xflag
values for request for the other modes.
