Bi-Directional Parallel Ports (nibble and byte modes)

The MFC 4450 supports both nibble (AT) and byte (Bi-Directional) mode parallel

ports. If your PC supports byte mode, scanning and fax reception will be at a faster

NOTE:

Some older PC models support only nibble mode. Generally, newer models

support both nibble and byte modes.
