In Centronics Standard You will need two free Ports , One for a data and one for Driving controls lines.
I think about typical Centronics Printer such as Epson FX-100 or a IBM 3210. You must initiate printer, control loading paper and send some ASCII Code in 8 bit format. Procedure of initialization depend of kind of printer but is written in manual book of any printer. Some of printers like Oki Microline have a RS-232 port, so in this moment you will need only RS-232 converter such as MAX 232 and connect to the printer. I have got a big ploter Roland 2500 X format A2 and I can drive its by RS-232. The ask is: What do you want to print? Printer need much of data to make sth with any sense. |
