Parallel Port Mode
SPP : Standard Parallel Port
EPP : Enhanced Parallel Port
ECP : Extended Capability Port
To operate the onboard parallel port as
StandardParallel Port only, choose
“SPP.” To operate the onboard parallel
port in the ECP and SPP modes simulta-
neously choose “ECP/SPP.” By choos-
ing “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 simultaneously. The
ECP mode has to use the DMA channel,
so choose the onboard parallel port with
the ECP feature. After selecting it, the
following message will appear: “ECP
Mode Use DMA” At this time the user
can choose between DMA channels 3
or 1. 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.
