*IMPORTANT INFORMATION*
Parallel / Printer Port:
Most computers can have two parallel / printer ports, and are referred to as either LPT1 or LPT2. To use the JAM
STATION, the parallel / printer port resource settings should be set to the default values defined below:
• LPT1: IRQ 7, I/O Base Address 0378h
• LPT2: IRQ 5, I/O Base Address 0278h
Parallel / Printer ports have different MODES of operation – the most common MODES are listed below:
• ECP
• EPP (1.9)
• EPP (1.7)
• Bi-Directional
• SPP
• Centronics
• Compatible
To get the best performance, you should use EPP (1.7), if possible. ECP, Bi-Directional, and SPP Modes can also be
used, however, you should avoid using Centronics or Compatible. The mode can usually only be changed in the Basic
Hardware Setup of your computer, often referred to as the BIOS or the CMOS.
*Since you cannot normally access this setup from the operating system environment, the usual way to access it is by restarting the
computer and immediately pressing a certain key, specified by your personal computer’s or motherboard’s operating manual, on the
keyboard. This specified key is usually DEL, F2, or F1.
