The parallel connector 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). If you configure the parallel
port to operate in bidirectional mode, it supports the ECP and EPP modes. When
the parallel connector is configured as bidirectional, use an IEEE 1284-compliant
cable that does not exceed 3 meters (9.8 ft). Use the Configuration/Setup Utility
program to configure the parallel connector as bidirectional.
Complete the following steps to view or configure the parallel connector:
1. Restart the computer.
