SPP/EPP/ECP/ECP+EPP
To operate the onboard parallel port as Standard Parallel Port only, choose [SPP]. To
operate the onboard parallel port in the EPP mode simultaneously, choose [EPP]. By
choosing [ECP], the onboard parallel port will operate in ECP mode only. Choosing
[ECP + EPP] will allow the onboard parallel port to support both the ECP and EPP
modes simultaneously. Choose [Normal] to use Standard Parallel Port + Bi-Directional
Mode simultaneously.
EPP Mode Select
The onboard parallel port is EPP Spec. compliant, so after the user chooses the
onboard parallel port with the EPP function, the following message will be displayed
on the screen: "EPP Mode Select." At this time either [EPP 1.7] spec or [EPP 1.9] spec
can be chosen.
ECP Mode Use DMA
The ECP mode has to use the DMA channel, so choose the onboard parallel port with
the ECP feature. After selecting it, the following message will appear: "ECP Mode Use
DMA." At this time, the user can choose between DMA channel [3] or [1].
