5.1.3Printer (parallel) port settings (For FotoPrisa

300P)

FotoPrisa 300P is designed to work with your computer in all parallel port modes, but is optimized for ECP-mode connection with the parallel port of your computer. If the FotoPrisa Printer is not working under ECP mode with your computer, the printer will not be able to output images in 300x600 dpi.

Generally, there are presently four parallel connection protocols adopted by the industry: EPP, ECP, Bi-Directional and SPP.

EPP (Enhanced Parallel Port) and ECP (Enhanced Capability Port) are high-speed parallel transmission protocols (about 600KB/sec to 1MB/sec) supported by almost all Pentium or higher-level models. Bi-Directional and SPP (Standard Parallel Port) have lower transmission speed (about 100KB/sec to 200KB/sec) but they are supported by all 386 or higher PCs.
