the parallel connector. To determine the correct mode to use, see the documentation
that came with the device.
Setting Parallel Mode to Disabled disables the parallel port and the port's LPT
address, freeing its interrupt for another device to use.

Changing COM Ports

Serial Port allows you to map the serial port COM address or disable the serial port
and its address, freeing that interrupt for another device to use.
