Connecting a Parallel Device (optional)
The optional docking station has a p
arallel port for connecting a
parallel device such as printer. The port supports ECP (Extended
Capabilities Port) and EPP (Enhanced Parallel Port) modes that turn
the standard parallel port into a high-speed bi-directional peripheral
port.
Follow this procedure to connect a parallel device:
1. Make sure that the “LPT Port” item is set properly in the BIOS Setup
program. (See “Advanced Menu” in Chapter 5 for information.)
2. Make sure the computer is not turned on.
3. Plug the parallel device’s cable to the docking station’s parallel port.
4. If the parallel device has independent power, plug its power cord into
an electrical outlet.
5. If the parallel device has its own power switch, turn on the parallel
device before turning on the computer.
