IBM ThinkPad 310E/310ED: User's Guide
EPP or Enhanced Parallel Port is a parallel port interface that
greatly improves performance for bi-directional block-mode data
transfers. EPP provides greater throughput by supporting faster
transfer times and a mechanism that allows the host to address
peripheral device registers directly. ECP or Extended Capabilities
Port supports a 16-byte FIFO (first in, first out) which can be
accessed by PIO cycles. ECP boosts I/O bandwidth to meet the
demands of high-performance peripherals.
The default setting is Standard and Bidirectional.
If you set EPP as the parallel port operation mode, 3BCh is not
available as the parallel port base address; otherwise, I/O conflicts
may occur.
