Input/Output Interfaces
Parallel Interface Control
The BIOS function INT 17 provides simplified control of the parallel interface. Basic functions
such as initialization, character printing, and printer status are provide by subfunctions of INT
17. The parallel interface is controllable by software through a set of I/O mapped registers. The
number and type of registers available depends on the mode used (SPP, EPP, or ECP). Table 5-14
lists the parallel registers and associated functions based on mode.
Base Address:
LPT1 = 378h
LPT2 = 278h
LPT3 = 3BCh
