What port transmits data in parallel and is most often used by a printer?
Boy, this is a toughie...I think it's the PARALLEL port, often noted as LPT1. usb
What port transmits data in parallel and is most ofen used by a printer?
A Parallel Port (LPT1 and LPT2)
What is the name of the 25-pin connector located in the back of a computer?
LPT1 (parallel port -aka; printer port). Parallel ports are often called LPT (Line Printer) ports since they are most often used for printers. Parallel ports on the system side are always 25pin female.
Can you use a parallel port for a printer?
Yes. In fact, this is the most common usage for a parallel port.
What port on the back of your PC is most likely used for a printer?
Since about 2002, a USB port is the most likely port to be used for a printer. <><><> A 16 bit parallel port can be used if the PC is of the old type that has one, but only If the printer is of an older type that has the appropriate logic circuits, connectors and compatiible printer driver software.
Does a printer plug into a parallel port?
It depends on the type of printer! Some printers (older types, mainly) used serial, or parallel ports. Most modern printers use USB or wifi.
What are the serial port devices?
Parallel port devices are those devices which are connected to the computer via parallel ports. An example is Printer which is connected to the parallel port LPTx (Line Printer Terminal) eg: LPT1, LPT2, LPT3. Parallel ports were originally developed by IBM as a way to connect a printer to your PC. When a PC sends data to a printer or other device using a parallel port, it sends 8 bits of data (1 byte) at a time. These 8 bits are transmitted parallel to each other, as opposed to the same eight bits being transmitted serially (all in a single row) through a serial port. The standard parallel port is capable of sending 50 to 100 kilobytes of data per second.Answer-- A parallel port is a type of interface found on computers (personal and otherwise) for connecting various peripherals. It is also known as a printer port or Centronics port. The IEEE 1284 standard defines the bi-directional version of the port.
How can you enable a new printer to work on an old computer?
If the computer is very old then it may expect the printer to be on a parallel port. Most modern printers do not have facility for a parallel connections anymore. It may not be possible to connect the printer to the old computer. Further if the computer is very old the printer manufacturer may not provide a print driver for the old operating system.
What is the mode used as a measure of central tendency?
It is the data value that is observed most often.It is the data value that is observed most often.It is the data value that is observed most often.It is the data value that is observed most often.
What is the function and location of a parallel port?
The function of a parallel port was to send at least a byte of data at a time to a printer. As time went on and parallel ports were given bidirectional abilities, they were used for other things such as connecting tape drives and transferring data between two computers. Gamers sometimes used parallel ports to network two computers together for a game, if the game software supported that. The location of a parallel port varies with the computer. When they exist, they are often located in the back of the PC, or on the side of a laptop. Most computers these days have no such port. The ports were somewhat large and only worked with a limited set of hardware. Everything is going to USB and Firewire these days. Those ports are smaller and support a wider range of hardware.
What do you need to hook-up old printer with parellal port to new computer?
Most old printers use a parallel (LPT) interface. Many new computers are not equipped with parallel ports, as it is seen by many as an obsolete interface. However, it is possible to hook a parallel printer up via USB by using a USB to parallel cable. These range in price from $10 to $30 and can be found at most electronic stores. I will include a few links below where you can buy them online.
Which port is use for impact printer?
An impact printer (dot matrix) usually uses either a serial, or parallel port. It depends on the printer and computer ports available. Most modern inkjet or laser printers use either wifi or a USB connection.
