169383 2003-08-21 22:34:00 Hi folks.
I have recently purchased a newer computer running XP home. One small problem has now arisen. I connected my scanner - Canoscan N640P- but when I try and use it , error message comes up with OX 10FF0800.

I went to Google and it said "Try to change the mode of the parallel port in the Bios from ECP to EPP"

I have searched the Bios (which is Award Software) but I cannot find what I am supposed to be looking for. I cannot see any reference to Integrated Periphals or On Board Parallel Ports.

Can anyone guide me on this please.

Thanks Smithie.

169384 2003-08-21 23:40:00 Bios looks different.
the following description is based on asus TUSI-M, yours should be similar,

1. enter bios, typically use DEL key

2. goto advanced menu

3. then I/O device configuration

4. you will see parallel port mode under parallel port. usaully it set to ECP+EPP, change that to EPP.
