Parallel Port Mode (ECP)
Enables you to set the data transfer protocol for your parallel port. There are four
options: SPP (Standard Parallel Port), EPP (Enhanced Parallel Port), ECP (Extended
Capabilities Port) and ECP+EPP.
SPP allows data output only. Extended Capabilities Port (ECP) and Enhanced Parallel Port
(EPP) are bi-directional modes, allowing both data input and output. ECP and EPP modes
are only supported with EPP- and ECP-aware peripherals.
ECP Mode Use DMA (3)
When the onboard parallel port is set to ECP mode, the parallel port can use DMA 3 or
DMA 1.
