If the host does not carry out Termination and tries to receive data, the printer sends the printer status. 13.2.6 Termination Termination is the process of returning to Compatibility mode from the Nibble or Byte modes. When performing Termination, the host sets the signals as follows: • IEEE 1284 Active (nSelectln): Low • HostBusy (nAutoFd): High (Event 22) There are two methods of Termination: (1) Termination through a handshake between the host and the printer. (2) Immediate termination. —164
