ECP + EPP

This item lets you set the parallel port mode. The

mode options are Normal (Standard and Bidirection

Parallel Port), EPP (Enhanced Parallel Port) and ECP

(Extended Parallel Port). Normal is the IBM AT and

PS/2 compatible mode. EPP enhances the parallel

port throughput by directly writing/reading data to/from

parallel port without latch. ECP supports DMA and

RLE (Run Length Encoded) compression and

decompression.
