Epson 286 PLUS Manuel D’Utilisation

This option lets you define how the following built-in interfaces

in your computer operate:

Parallel port (LPT1 , LPT2, LPT3)

Serial port (COMl or COM2)

Hard disk drive controller (HDC)

Floppy disk drive controller (FDC).

Read the following descriptions to make sure the settings are

correct.

The built-in parallel port in your computer is set to act as the

primary port (LPTl). If you install an option card that provides
an additional parallel interface’ you may need to select LPT2 or
LPT3 for the built-in port. Follow these guidelines:

If you are using only the built-in port, select 

LP T 1 . 

Also

select LPTl if you have installed an additional port but want

to keep the built-in port the primary adapter.

If you have installed an additional port that is pre-set to act

as the primary port or one that you want to be the primary

port, select 

LPT2 

. For example, if you have installed an

IBM monochrome adapter/parallel interface card, the

parallel port on the card must be the primary adapter and

you need to select LPT2 for the built-in port.

If you have installed two additional parallel ports and you
want them to be the primary and secondary ports, select

LPT3.
