Parallel Port Driver Samples

The parallel port sample drivers use the IEEE 1284 compatibility mode in the forward direction, and nibble mode in the reverse direction. The driver itself is compiled into Parallel.dll. The parallel port will support a Centronics–based parallel bi-directional port and the enhanced scalable parallel processing (SPP) mode, also known as a bi-directional SPP mode. The driver has limited bi-directional support. It can allow printer drivers to get printer identifier information.

Sample code for parallel port drivers is provided in the following directories:

  • %_WINCEROOT%\Public\Common\Oak\Csp\HD64465\Parallel
  • %_WINCEROOT%\Public\Common\Oak\Drivers\Parallel
