Parallel Port Driver Catalog Items and Sysgen Variables (Compact 7)
3/12/2014
In Windows Embedded Compact, you can implement support for parallel port drivers that are used only for printing and not for general data transfer. Parallel port drivers use the IEEE 1284 compatibility mode in the forward direction, and the nibble mode in the reverse direction.
For more information, see Parallel Port Drivers.
