Parallel Port Mode
Select an operating mode for the onboard parallel (printer) port.
[Normal]: Standard Parallel Port
[EPP]: Enhanced Parallel Port
[ECP]: Extended Capability Port
[Bi-Dir]: Extended Capability Port + Enhanced Parallel Port
To operate the onboard parallel port as Standard Parallel Port only, choose
[Normal]. 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 [Bi-Dir] will allow the onboard parallel port to
support both the ECP and EPP modes simultaneously.
EPP Version
The item selects the EPP version used by the parallel port if the port is set to
[EPP] mode. Settings: [1.7] and [1.9].
Parallel Port IRQ
When Onboard Parallel Port is set to [Auto], the item shows [Auto]
indicating that BIOS determines the IRQ for the parallel port automatically.
Parallel Port DMA Channel
This feature needs to be configured only when Parallel Port Mode is set
to the [ECP] mode. When Parallel Port is set to [Auto], the field will show
[Auto] indicating that BIOS automatically determines the DMA channel for the
parallel port.
