Data Port
ADDRESS OFFSET = 00H
The Data Port is located at an offset of '00H' from the base address. The data register is cleared at
initialization by RESET. During a WRITE operation, the Data Register latches the contents of the
internal data bus. The contents of this register are buffered (non inverting) and output onto the PD0 -
PD7 ports. During a READ operation in SPP mode, PD0 - PD7 ports are buffered (not latched) and
output to the host CPU.
Status Port
ADDRESS OFFSET = 01H
The Status Port is located at an offset of '01H' from the base address. The contents of this register
are latched for the duration of a read cycle. The bits of the Status Port are defined as follows:
BIT 0 TMOUT - TIME OUT
This bit is valid in EPP mode only and indicates that a 10 usec time out has occurred on the EPP bus.
A logic O means that no time out error has occurred; a logic 1 means that a time out error has been
detected. This bit is cleared by a RESET. Writing a one to this bit clears the time out status bit. On a
write, this bit is self clearing and does not require a write of a zero. Writing a zero to this bit has no
effect.
BITS 1, 2
- are not implemented as register bits, during a read of the Printer Status Register these bits
are a low level.
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.
