Parallel Port Mode will appear only if you selected an I/O address and
IRQ in the Onboard Parallel Port field. This option applies 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. Select the
parallel port mode according to the type of printer device connected
to your onboard parallel port.
The parallel modes are SPP, EPP, ECP and ECP+EPP. The default is
ECP+EPP. Both “ECP Mode Use DMA” and “EPP Mode Select” will

standard specification. The options are EPP1.9 and EPP1.7. Default

to select a DMA channel for the parallel port. The options are 1 and
3. Default setting: 3.
