When I use my scanner it tells me to switch to enhanced parellel port (EPP) for better performance. Any idea how I do this?

thanks but how do I do this?

Hit whatever key you are told after the POST that says it lets you enter
the BIOS setup. If you are not informed as to what key to hit, try
some, like F8, Del, Esc, etc., to see what may let you interrupt the
normal boot process and instead take you into the BIOS screens. You'll
have to read the manual for whatever system you have since you did not
identify it to us.
 
Ok for my system its f8 that I have to press but it doesnt give me the option of going into BIOS. I know my widows 98 gave me that option cause I had done it on that system, but I dont see it in the options on this one. I am running windows xp home on a pentium 2.4

The operating system is immaterial. Only you know what
motherboard and BIOS you have, so only you know the answer to your
question. ;-}

In the extremely unlikely event that your PC's manual doesn't
contain the needed information, try one or both of the following:

You need to hit Esc, Del, F8, Enter, or whatever *BEFORE* your operating
system starts to load. The BIOS is part of the hardware, not of the
operating system. Your computer's manual should tell you how to enter
your BIOS setup. You STILL have not identified your computer (brand and
model) and especially its motherboard. I'm not going to guess. From
your comments, it is highly unlikely that you built your computer, so it
will have a brand and model number, or it may be a custom clone but then
you should still be able to tell what motherboard you have (just open
and look). However, the quickest method to find out how to get into the
BIOS screens is to ask whomever sold you that computer or read its
manual.
