Parallel, TTP 2020
The TTP 2020 parallel port is bi-directional and support Compatibility and
Reverse-Nibble modes.
Table 5 • Signal Names for the Parallel Port
Error Signaling
All errors that are not reset when status is read will set the nFault signal, for example:
• Head lifted
• Cutter not home
• Out of paper
This error also sets the Paper Out/End (PE) together with nFault:
• Out of paper
Note • If you intend to use any other mode than Compatibility Mode, we recommend you to
get the documents for the IEEE-1284 standards, and study them thoroughly.
