DMA transfer
Using DMA transfer to send print data to the computer may
help you speed up printing. This is only available for
computers that have a parallel port which supports ECP mode.
See your computer’s manual to determine if it supports ECP
mode and DMA transfer.
To make DMA transfer available, see below.

However if you change the parallel
