[3BC]: This option allows the parallel port to use 3BC as its I/O port address.
Parallel Port Mode:
This item specifies the parallel port mode.
[Normal]: Allows the standard parallel port mode to be used.
[SPP]: (Standard Parallel Port) Allows bi-directional parallel port operation at normal speed.
[EPP]: (Enhanced Parallel Port) Allows bi-directional parallel port operation at maximum speed.
[ECP]: (Extended Capabilities Port) Allows bi-directional parallel port operation at a speed faster
than the normal mode’s data transfer rate.
