Item Parallel Port Setup Parallel Port Parallel Port Mode Parallel Port Extended Mode Parallel Port Extended Mode DMA Parallel Port IRQ Description The Parallel Port Setup menu shows the address, mode, interrupt, and other settings for the built-in parallel port. The parallel port address can also be set to Disabled if you want to prevent unauthorized transmission of data to devices attached to the port. If you add adapter cards with parallel ports, an error message will notify you if you have an address conflict among the parallel ports. Ensure that each parallel port has a different address. If you change parallel port addresses in this menu, you might also need to make changes in the software that uses parallel ports. For instructions on changing your software, see the user's guide or online information that comes with the software. If the Parallel Port field is not set to Disabled, you can choose an operational mode for the parallel port. You can choose either Standard mode or one of the extended modes (ECP, EPP, ECP and EPP, or Bidirectional). In standard mode, you are limited to write-only (unidirectional) mode. The extended modes are bidirectional and will increase the efficiency of your parallel port; however, the extended modes use recent technology, which is not supported by some hardware. The extended modes are: ECP: The extended capabilities port (ECP) mode provides higher speed data transfers than the Standard mode. The ECP mode is used for high-speed printers and other devices. EPP: The enhanced parallel port (EPP) mode also provides high speed data transfers. The EPP mode is used for LAN adapters, disk drives, and tape backups. ECP and EPP: This mode combines the capabilities of the Extended Capabilities Port and Enhanced Parallel Port modes. Select this mode if you have both ECP and EPP devices connected to the parallel port. Bidirectional: This mode is used for data transfer to other computers and supported devices. The Parallel Port Extended Mode DMA field shows the channel assignment for direct memory access (DMA). The parallel port can use DMA data transfer when the extended mode is set to either ECP or ECP and EPP. The Parallel Port IRQ field shows the interrupt request number. Chapter 5.

Parallel Port IRQ
The Parallel Port Setup menu shows the address, mode,
interrupt, and other settings for the built-in parallel port.
The parallel port address can also be set to Disabled if you
want to prevent unauthorized transmission of data to
devices attached to the port.
If you add adapter cards with parallel ports, an error
message will notify you if you have an address conflict
among the parallel ports.
Ensure that each parallel port
has a different address.
If you change parallel port
addresses in this menu, you might also need to make
changes in the software that uses parallel ports.
For
instructions on changing your software, see the user's
guide or online information that comes with the software.
If the Parallel Port field is not set to Disabled, you can
choose an operational mode for the parallel port.
You can
choose either Standard mode or one of the extended
modes (ECP, EPP, ECP and EPP, or Bidirectional).
In
standard mode, you are limited to write-only
(unidirectional) mode.
The extended modes are
bidirectional and will increase the efficiency of your
parallel port; however, the extended modes use recent
technology, which is not supported by some hardware.
The extended modes are:
±
ECP:
The extended capabilities port (ECP) mode
provides higher speed data transfers than the Standard
mode.
The ECP mode is used for high-speed printers
and other devices.
±
EPP:
The enhanced parallel port (EPP) mode also
provides high speed data transfers.
The EPP mode is
used for LAN adapters, disk drives, and tape backups.
±
ECP and EPP:
This mode combines the capabilities of
the Extended Capabilities Port and Enhanced Parallel
Port modes.
Select this mode if you have both ECP
and EPP devices connected to the parallel port.
±
Bidirectional:
This mode is used for data transfer to
other computers and supported devices.
The Parallel Port Extended Mode DMA field shows the
channel assignment for direct memory access (DMA).
The
parallel port can use DMA data transfer when the
extended mode is set to either ECP or ECP and EPP.
The Parallel Port IRQ field shows the interrupt request
number.
