The BiPAP Auto has only one IPAP pressure to set, and one EPAP pressure. The BiPAP Auto doesn't have "Max/Min IPAP" or "Max/Min EPAP" settings.

dllfo, I've always used "whole" numbers for my settings:
EPAP 9, IPAP 16 are the pressure settings I use. I set the PS as high as it will go...in this case "7", which is the difference between my EPAP/IPAP settings.
I've never used MyEncore. I use only Encore Pro. I've not ever noticed the IPAP pressure being reported as higher than the IPAP I set. I think the discrepancy in pressure reported can happen when you are using 1/2 cm's instead of whole cm's. I don't know if using 1/2 cm pressure settings would get reported "rounded up" in just Encore Pro, or if it happens only in "MyEncore." Dunno....sorry.
