[Local Printer Parallel Port]: Parallel Port IEEE P1284 Negotiation Mode

18.2. Parallel Port IEEE P1284 Negotiation Mode

Values for print servers using releases 2111 and higher

Value	Comments
Compatible Mode *	This is the default setting in order to preserve backwards
	compatibility with the older print servers (see table below).
ECP	If no support for ECP is detected the print server will fall back
	to Compatible Mode.
Nibble	If no support for Nibble is detected the print server will fall back
	to Compatible Mode.
	A pre-requisite for Nibble support is that the printer is capable
	of the true bi-directional communication which Nibble adds to
	Compatible Mode.
Auto	If no support for ECP is detected, the print server will fall back
	to Nibble, and if Nibble is not detected, print server will fall
	back to Compatible Mode. If you have upgraded from an older
	release level and only want the print server to try ECP before
	falling back to Compatible Mode, change your setting from
	Auto to ECP.

Values for print servers using releases older than 2111

Value	Comments
Compatible Mode *	This is the default setting.
Auto	If ECP support is detected, ECP Mode will be used.
	Otherwise, the print server will fall back to Compatible Mode.
