Message:
controll parallel port using Java Comm API
Posted by rex22 on August 23, 2001 at 11:51 PM
/* Currently, I am working on controlling IBM Parallel Port using */
/* Java Communication API. And i faced a few problems and wish */
/* can get help as soon as possible. All helps are highly appreciated. */ DOSone.writeByte(0x90); ------- Statement 1
When the LED attached with parallel port are connected with the computer, Data Pin 3,4,5,6,7,8
are lighted. Although i tried to change to different values, same results are obtained.
May I know why this happened? and any solution? System.out.println("You have come here."); ------Statement 2
After the LED is lighted, the Java program does not return back to DOS mode and print out
the above sentence. Can i make hypotheses that Java are platform independent, that's why
there is no way to return to Windows Dos mode? Or any solution available? The source code is obtained from http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/196/1999/8/50/2586646/ and some slight modification is done

DOSone = new DataOutputStream(OSone);
/*where to send the data to the printer port */
DOSone.writeByte(0x90); ------- Statement 1
System.out.println("You have come here."); ------Statement 2
}
catch(IOException e)
{
System.out.println("You are in IOexception");
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Below are the circuit that i used for my testing
