2.1 Anti-static Precautions

WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the PM-LX2-800 may result in permanent damage to the PM-LX2-800 and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components, including the PM-LX2-800. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore critical that whenever the PM-LX2-800 or any other electrical component is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
Wear an anti-static wristband: Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.
Self-grounding: Before handling the board, touch any grounded conducting
material. During the time the board is handled, frequently touch any conducting materials that are connected to the ground.
Use an anti-static pad: When configuring the PM-LX2-800, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the PM-LX2-800.
Only handle the edges of the PCB: When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.

2.2 Unpacking Precautions

When the PM-LX2-800 is unpacked, please do the following:
Follow the anti-static precautions outlined in Section Make sure the packing box is facing upwards so the PM-LX2 -800 does not fall
out of the box.
Make sure all the components shown in Section
2.1.
2.3 are present.

It is therefore critical that whenever the PM-LX2-800 or any other electrical component is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
Wear an anti-static wristband: Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.
Self-grounding: Before handling the board, touch any grounded conducting
material. During the time the board is handled, frequently touch any conducting materials that are connected to the ground.
Use an anti-static pad: When configuring the PM-LX2-800, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the PM-LX2-800.
Only handle the edges of the PCB: When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.

The parallel port operates in the enhanced parallel port mode (EPP). The EPP mode supports bi-directional communication between the system and the parallel port device and the transmission rates between the two are much faster than the Normal mode.
The parallel port is also be compatible with SPP devices described above
