BIOS Setup
Parallel Port Mode
The options are SPP, EPP, ECP and ECP+EPP. These apply to a
standard specification and will depend on the type and speed of
your device. Refer to your peripheral’s manual for the best option.
SPP
Allows normal speed operation but in one direction only.
“ECP (Extended Capabilities Port)”
Allows parallel port to operate in bidirectional mode and at a speed
faster than the normal mode’s data transfer rate.
“EPP (Enhanced Parallel Port)”
Allows bidirectional parallel port operation at maximum speed.
EPP Mode Select
This field is used to select the EPP mode.
ECP Mode Use DMA

When power returns after an AC power failure, the
system will return to the state where you left off before
power failure occurs. If the system’s power is off when
AC power failure occurs, it will remain off when power
returns. If the system’s power is on when AC power
failure occurs, the system will power-on when power
returns.
