Displays information about EPSON SD Printer Port.


Epson Printer Port
EPSON SD Printer Port

The EPSON SD Printer Port driver optimizes a local parallel port to increase the data transfer rate to EPSON SD printers in Windows 2000 or XP.If print speed does not improve when using an EPSON SD Printer Port,see the Readme file to make sure the BIOS and EPSON SD Printer Port settings are correct.


Resource Settings

For ESD_LPT1,displays the I/O Port Address,and DMA which you made settings in your computer’s BIOS settings.For ESD_LPT2 or ESD_LPT3,displays the I/O Port Address setting you made with your expansion board,and you need to put the same DMA settings here as your expansion board’s settings.Double-click the appropriate setting,or click the setting and then click Change Settings button.


Change Settings

Select the value for your DMA settings.It must have the same value as the settings you made to your expansion board.


Use Automatic Setting
Use DMA Transfer

Select to accelerate data transfer to your printer.


Conflicting device list
Conflicting Information

Displays a message if there are any conflicts in the DMA settings.


Use an interrupt

Select to use the interrupt signal assigned to the EPSON SD Printer Port driver.


Bits per second

Sets the maximum rate,in bits per second [bps],that you want data to be transmitted through this port.Usually,this is set to the maximum rate supported by the computer or device you are communicating with.


Data Bits

Changes the number of data bits you want to use for each character that is transmitted and received.The computer or device you are communicationg with must have the same setting that you choose here.Most characters are transmitted in 7 or 8 data bits.


Parity

Changes the type of error checking you want to use for the selected port.The computer or device you are communicating with must have the same setting that you choose here.You must choose one of the following:

•	Nonemeans that no parity bit will be added to the data bits sent from this port.This will disable error checking.

•	Evenmeans that a parity bit is set to 1 if it is needed to make the number of 1's in the data bits even.This wil enable error checking.

•	Oddmeans that a parity bit is added if it is needed to make the number of 1's in the data bits odd.This will enable error checking.

•	Mark means that a parity bit is added,but it is always set to 0.

•	Spacemeans that a parity bit is added,but it is always set to 1.


Stop bits

Changes the time between each character being transmitted [where time is measured in bits].


Restore Defaults

Restores the following properties to the default settings:

Bits per second-9600

Data bits-8

Parity-None

Stop bits-1
