Defining transmissio type
You can select to enable the IEEE P1284 ECP mode (enabled) or force to use
the IEEE P1284 Compatible mode (disabled). Default is disabled.
With some specific host environment, the ECP mode does not work correctly,
and the Océ 9400-II offers the option to use the so-called compatible mode
(ECP mode disabled). Note that if your host allows this mode, ECP mode is
faster than compatible mode. default is ECP disabled.
