Determining Your Computer’s Parallel Port Mode
To scan using your HP OfficeJet, you must set your computer’s parallel port
to one of the following modes:
NOTE
HP recommends using ECP mode if your computer has this capability.
Most computers have a setup, CMOS, hardware configuration, or other
screen that can be accessed during the boot process. This screen shows your
computer’s current settings, including parallel port mode.
If you need more information about changing parallel port mode in your
computer, see the user guide that came with your computer. You can also
refer to the Read about ECP document located on the HP OfficeJet R Series
CD-ROM or in the HP OfficeJet R Series program folder, which is available
after you install your software.
ECP (Extended Capabilities Port)
Available in recently manufactured
computers. This mode ensures the fastest
scanning speed.
Bi-Directional
Allows communication between your
computer and the HP OfficeJet. Scanning
is slower than with ECP mode.
