Single Tag — Single-tag interlock mode. This is the basic channel transfer mode. It is the slowest method of data transfer. Select this mode when no other transfer mode is available on the host.

High Speed — High-speed transfer mode. Although it maintains a single-tag interlock mode, this mode provides a higher speed of data transfer than the single-tag mode.

1.25Mb Data Streaming — Data streaming at 1.25 MB per second. This mode is faster than either of the two single-tag interlock modes.

2.5Mb Data Streaming — Data streaming at 2.50 MB per second. This mode provides the fastest data transfer.
