for parallel port operation.
 Bi-Directional Parallel port outputs are 8-bits long. Inputs are
accomplished by reading 4 of the 8 bits on the
status register.
 ECP The parallel port operates in the extended
capabilities port (ECP) mode. The ECP mode
supports bi-directional communication between the
system and the parallel port device and the
transmission rates between the two are much faster
than the Normal mode
 EPP The parallel port operates in the enhanced parallel
port mode (EPP). The EPP mode supports
bi-directional communication between the system
and the parallel port device and the transmission
rates between the two are much faster than the
Normal mode.
 ECP&EPP The parallel port operates in the extended
capabilities port (ECP) mode. The ECP mode
supports bi-directional communication between the
system and the parallel port device and the
transmission rates between the two are much faster
than the Normal mode
The parallel port is also be compatible with EPP
devices described above
 Pa ra lle l Port IRQ [IRQ7]
Use the Parallel Port IRQ selection to set the parallel port interrupt address.
 IRQ5 IRQ5 is assigned as the parallel port interrupt address
 IRQ7
D EFAULT IRQ7 is assigned as the parallel port interrupt address
