Specifications of W83877ATG

• Lead Free Status / RoHS Status: Supplier Unconfirmed

Bit 4: A 1 means the printer is selected.
Bit 3: A 0 means the printer has encountered an error condition.
Bit 1, 2: These two bits are not implemented and are logic one during a read of the status register.
Bit 0: This bit is valid in EPP mode only. It indicates that a 10 μ S time-out has occurred on the EPP
7.2.3
The system microprocessor can read the contents of the printer control latch by reading the printer
control swapper. Bit definitions are as follows:
Bit 7, 6: These two bits are a logic one during a read. They can be written.
Bit 5: Direction control bit
Bit 4: A 1 in this position allows an interrupt to occur when ACK changes from low to high.
Bit 3: A 1 in this bit position selects the printer.
Bit 2: A 0 starts the printer (50 microsecond pulse, minimum).
Bit 1: A 1 causes the printer to line-feed after a line is printed.
Bit 0: A 0.5 microsecond minimum high active pulse clocks data into the printer. Valid data must be
bus. A logic 0 means that no time-out error has occurred; a logic 1 means that a time-out error
has been detected. Writing a logic 1 to this bit will clear the time-out status bit; writing a logic 0
has no effect.
When this bit is a logic 1, the parallel port is in input mode (read); when it is a logic 0, the
parallel port is in output mode (write). This bit can be read and written. In SPP mode, this bit is
invalid and fixed at zero.
present for a minimum of 0.5 microseconds before and after the strobe pulse.
