Using ECP Mode
Normally, data transfer between the computer and printer are conducted using the
®
Centronics -compatible mode, which is a widely used printer interface type.
You can change the data transfer method to ECP mode, as needed. The ECP mode makes
it possible to conduct data transfer between the computer and printer at a higher speed
while keeping compatibility with the former interface type. This shortens the time required
for printing, depending on the computer system.
Note
Before changing the data transfer method to the ECP mode, consider the
following points:
• The computer system and printer cable you are using must support ECP
mode. For details, contact your computer manufacturer.
• The parallel port must be set for ECP in the BIOS settings of your
computer. When you change the BIOS settings of your computer system,
be sure to refer to your computer's documentation, or contact the
computer manufacturer.
