Parallel port
The server has one parallel port. This port supports three standard Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 1284 modes of operation: Standard
Parallel Port (SPP), Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP), and Extended Capability Port
(ECP).
Viewing or changing the port assignments
You can use the Configuration/Setup Utility program to configure the parallel port
as bidirectional; that is, so that data can be both read from and written to a device.
In bidirectional mode, the server supports the ECP and EPP modes.
To view or change the parallel-port assignment, do the following:
1.
Restart the server and watch the monitor screen.
2. When the message
Press F1 for Configuration/Setup
appears, press F1.
3.
From the main menu, select Devices and I/O Ports ; then, press Enter.
4. Select the parallel port; then, use the arrow keys to advance through the
available settings.
Note: When you configure the parallel port as bidirectional, use an IEEE
1284-compliant cable. The maximum length of the cable must not exceed
3 meters (9.8 feet).
5. Select Save Settings ; then, select Exit Setup to exit from the
Configuration/Setup Utility main menu.
