Acer acerpower 6200 User Manual

To deactivate the parallel port, select the 

Disabled

 option.  If you

install an add-on card that has a parallel port whose address conflicts
with the parallel port onboard, the system automatically disables the
onboard functions.

Check the parallel port address on the add-on card and change the
address to one that does not conflict.

This item allows you to set the operation mode of the parallel port.
Table 2-5 lists the different operation modes.
