LPT Mode EPP `
is is the mid-range speed setting. It is not often used, but may be a
good compromise between ECP and SPP modes.
LPT Mode ECP `
In this mode, data is sent to the printer at the fastest possible rate. Gener-
ally most printers can support this speed, but if your prints show errors,
your printer may not be capable of this mode.
Automatic `
If the Automatic option is enabled, FastRIP Queue will attempt to de-
termine the fastest possible mode for sending data to the printer. FastRIP
Queue will test for ECP (fastest rate) capability first, followed by EPP
(mid-range rate), and then SPP (slowest rate).
LPT 2 or LPT 3 `
If your printer is connected to LPT 2 or LPT 3 choose the Windows LPT
Driver.
Note: A specific data rate may be “forced” for a specific job by disabling the Automatic option. When you start a
new job, FastRIP will automatically perform its checks again prior to delivering the new output.

While still in the Port Settings Window, select the
Timouts Tab. e Timeouts Tab allows you to tell
FastRIP what to do in the event of “Time Out”
error. is error most often occurs when printing
a large file and is the result of an interrupted data
stream.
Set the Retries to 999 and the Initial to 60. `
