Setting the Built-in Interfaces
This option lets you define how the following built-in interfaces operate:
0Parallel port (LPT1, LPT2, LPT3) U Serial port (COM1 or COM2)
Q Hard disk drive controller (HDC) tl Floppy disk drive controller (FDC).
Setting the Parallel Interface
The built-in parallel port is set to act as the primary (LPT1). If you install an option card that provides an additional parallel interface, you may need to select LPT2 or LPT3 for the builtin port. Follow these guidelines:
UIf you are using only the built-in port, select LPT1. Also select LPT1 if you have installed an additional port but want to keep the built-in port the primary adapter.
UIf you have installed an additional port that is pre-set to act as the primary port or one that you want to be the primary port, select LPT2. For example, if you have installed an IBM monochrome adapter/parallel interface card, the parallel port on the card must be the primary adapter and you need to select LPT2 for the built-in port.
tl If you have installed two additional parallel ports and want them to be primary and secondary, select LPT3.
0If you have installed three additional parallel ports and you do not want to use the built-in port, select Disable.
Note
Be sure to set any jumpers on the card(s) to indicate how you want the port to be recognized (LPT1, LPT2, or LPT3).
