Question Answer
In the PC's BIOS setup the
parallel port setting shows
ECP but the PCAN-Dongle
works with the EPP mode.
Is this correct?
Yes, it is. The naming of the
operating mode EPP of the PCAN-
Dongle has historical causes. The
parallel interface at the PC went
through various developments in the
nineties. Only the EPP extension
existed during the time, when the
PCAN-Dongle arose. With version 1.9
the EPP extension already had
similarities to the ECP extension,
which is usually used in PCs today.
The name of the operating mode EPP
was kept for the PCAN-Dongle.
Can a printer still be
connected to the PCAN-
Dongle?
No. The PCAN-Dongle doesn't offer
any possibility to connect through the
parallel interface for the printer. The
PCAN-Dongle Pro, having this
functionality integrated, isn't sold by
PEAK-System anymore.
Is it possible to supply the
PCAN-Dongle PS/2 also via
the computer's mouse
connector?
Yes.
I have problems running
the PCAN-Dongle under
Windows 2000/XP. The driver files PEAKCAN.SYS and
PCAN_DNG.SYS must be available at
least in version 2.30. You can
determine the currently used driver
version e.g. with the About dialog
box in PCAN-View (menu command
Help | About).
