Hardware Installation

Parallel Port

The parallel port is for interfacing your PC to a parallel printer. It
supports SPP, ECP and EPP.

BIOS Setting

Configure the parallel port in the Integrated Peripherals submenu
(“Super I/O Device” section) of the BIOS. Refer to chapter 3 for
more information.

Setting

SPP
(Standard Parallel Port)

ECP
(Extended Capabilities Port)

EPP
(Enhanced Parallel Port)

Function

Allows normal speed operation but
in one direction only.

Allows parallel port to operate in
bidirectional mode and at a speed
faster than the SPP’s data transfer
rate.

Allows bidirectional parallel port op-
eration at maximum speed.
