Parallel Ports
|
Parallel ports transmit data by using eight wires simultaneously to send the eight bits that comprise one byte of data. Standard Parallel Port (SPP) is the most basic port type. Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP) and Enhanced Capability Port (ECP) are standard signaling methods for bi-directional parallel communication between a computer and peripheral devices that offers the potential for much higher rates of data transfer than the original parallel signaling methods. EPP is for non-printer peripherals. ECP is for printers and scanners. EPP / ECP are part of IEEE Standard 1284, which also specifies support for current signaling methods (including Centronics, the de facto standard for printer communication) so that both old and new peripherals can be accommodated.
