Defining Eagle 100 Parallel Ports
Eagle 100 and 200 computers contain one standard speed parallel port, which is not
automatically defined for you. If you want to use the parallel ports, you will need to add
the following DEVTBL statement:
DEVTBL /EGP0
You will also need to load the parallel printer driver into system memory using a
SYSTEM statement:
SYSTEM EGP.DVR[1,6]
Then, if you want to connect a printer to the parallel port, change the DEVICE statement
in the printer initialization file to reference parallel port 0 (EGP0:). For example:
DEVICE=EGP0:
For information on printer initialization files and printer spoolers, see the
System
Operator’s Guide
for your version of AMOS. For information on constructing cables to
connect a printer to a parallel port, see Appendix A.
Defining Eagle 300-500 Parallel Ports
Eagle 300-500 computers contain two high speed parallel ports, which are not
automatically defined for you. If you want to use the parallel ports, you will need to add
the following DEVTBL statement:
DEVTBL /EPP0,EPP1
You will also need to load the parallel printer driver into system memory using a
SYSTEM statement:
SYSTEM EPP.DVR[1,6]
Then, if you want to connect a printer to the parallel port, change the DEVICE statement
in the printer initialization file to reference parallel port 0 (EPP0:). For example:
DEVICE=EPP0:
For information on printer initialization files and printer spoolers, see the
System
Operator’s Guide
for your version of AMOS. For information on constructing cables to
connect a printer to a parallel port, see Appendix A.
