Parallel Port Mode
Select an operating mode for the onboard parallel (printer) port. Select
SPP unless the hardware and software both support one of the other
available modes. The options for this setting are
SPP, EPP, ECP and
ECP+EPP.
Note: To operate the onboard parallel port as a Standard Parallel Port
ONLY, select SPP. To operate the onboard parallel port in the Extended
Parallel modes simultaneously, choose EPP. By selecting ECP, the
onboard parallel port will operate in ECP mode only. Choosing
ECP+EPP will allow the onboard parallel port to support both the ECP
and EPP modes at the same time. The ECP mode has to use the DMA
channel, so select the onboard parallel port with the ECP feature. After
it has been selected, the following message will appear, “ECP Mode
Use DMA.” At this time, the user can choose between DMA channels 3
to 1. Since the onboard parallel port is EPP Spec. compliant, so after
the user chooses the onboard parallel port with the EPP function, the
following message will be displayed on the screen: “EPP Mode Select.”
At this time either EPP 1.7 spec. or EPP 1.9 spec. can be chosen.
ECP Mode Use DMA:
This item automatically specifies DMA
channel 1 or 3 for the parallel port when it is set to
EPP or
ECP+EPP.
