EPP Mode Select
Common Options : EPP 1.7, EPP 1.9
Quick Review
There are two versions of the EPP transfer protocol - EPP 1.7 and EPP 1.9. This BIOS feature allows you to select the version of EPP that the parallel port should use.
Generally, EPP 1.9 is the preferred setting because it supports the newer EPP 1.9 devices and most EPP 1.7 devices; and offers advantages like support for longer cables. However, because certain EPP 1.7 devices cannot work properly with an EPP 1.9 port, this BIOS feature was implemented to allow you to set the EPP mode to EPP 1.7 when such an issue crops up.
Therefore, it is recommended that you set this BIOS feature to EPP 1.9. But if you have trouble connecting to your parallel port device, switch to EPP 1.7.
