Onboard Parallel Port
There is a built-in parallel port on the on-board Super I/O chipset that
provides Standard, ECP, and EPP features. It has the following options:
Disabled
3BC/IRQ7 Line Printer port 0
278/IRQ5 Line Printer port 2
378/IRQ7 Line Printer port 1
Parallel Port Mode
SPP : Standard Parallel Port
EPP : Enhanced Parallel Port
ECP : Extended Capability Port
ECP + EPP: Extended Capability Port + Enhanced Parallel Port
SPP/EPP/ECP/ECP+EPP
To operate the onboard parallel port as Standard Parallel Port
only, choose “SPP.” 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
“ECP + EPP” will allow the onboard parallel port to support both
the ECP and EPP modes simultaneously.
EPP Mode Select
The onboard parallel port is EPP Spec. compliant, so after the user chooses
the onboard parallel port with the EPP function, the following message
will be displayed on the screen: “EPP Mode Select.” At this time either
EPP 1.7 spec or EPP 1.9 s pec can be chosen.
ECP Mode Use DMA
The ECP mode has to use the DMA channel, so choose the onboard
parallel port with the ECP feature. After selecting it, the following mes-
sage will appear: “ECP Mode Use DMA.” At this time, the user can
choose between DMA channel 3 or 1.
