In the CMOS setup (upon turning computer on and pressing <br />
DEL) there is an option to configure the parallel port.<br />
In this option one can select SPP, EPP, ECP, ECPEPP, with<br />
sub-selections 1.7, 1.9 (e.g. ECPEPP1.7). Moreover there is<br />
an option to assign an address to IRQ7 (378) or IRQ5 (278).<br />
<br />
I have a B&amp;W video-camera (Connectix) and an HP laser <br />
printer which I would like to plug in (alternatively)<br />
to the Parallel port.<br />
<br />
Which configuration should I choose? What do these codes<br />
(e.g. ECPEPP) mean? The motherboard manual explains nothing.<br />
<br />
Can you help?<br />
Thanks

configuring the parallel port

Hardware includes cell phones and other digital living devices, tablets, computers, servers, peripherals and components, printers and scanners, gaming consoles, networking hardware such as routers, hubs, switches and modems, storage devices and security equipment such as firewalls and other appliances.

Hardware

A peripheral device is defined as a computer device, such as a keyboard or printer, that is not part of the essential computer (i.e., the memory and microprocessor). These auxiliary devices are intended to be connected to the computer and used in conjunction with it. Examples of external peripherals include mouse, keyboard, printer, monitor, external Zip drive or scanner, while internal peripherals include CD-ROM drive, CD-R drive or internal modem. Today's new devices, such as tablets, smartphones and wearable computing devices are considered peripherals as they can be connected and used on a computer system. The difference, however, is that these devices can run independently of the computer system.
