Parallel Port Notes: -------------------- It is recommended that you set your parallel port to either AT-mode or EPP-mode for uni-directional or bi-directional modes, respectively. Bi-directional mode will give at least double the throughput compared to uni-directional mode. The parallel port is usually set up using the BIOS setup on your machine at boot time. Colour and your Desktop: ------------------------ Owing to the many problems in creating a 256-colour picture from a 16Million one, there is a restriction for 256-colour desktops. The main problem is the time to analyse and process the picture. So for now there is a restriction that 256-colour desktops will present a picture using a greyscale. Ordering and Registration: -------------------------- Please see 'Register' on the Help menu or read the file order.txt Acknowledgements: ----------------- The contained JPEG support is based in part on the work of the Independent JPEG Group.
