Checking Your Parallel Ports

Before installing the software, you should check your computer’s parallel port

settings to ensure the maximum performance from your tape drive. There are

currently four types of parallel ports on the market: (listed from the slowest data

(EPP), and Extended Capabilities Port (ECP).

allows the maximum performance from your tape drive. Consult your computer’s

documentation to learn if you have an EPP or ECP port. If you have one, verify that it

is configured to the fastest possible setting.
