What else can I help you with?
Which standard governs the use of parallel printer ports?
ieee 1284
Are USB ports on printers being quickly replaced by parallel ports?
No. The reverse is the case. Parallel ports are older technology and have been replaced by "printer ports" which accommodate special USB cables with printer plugs.
Howdo parallel ports communicate with the printers?
A handshaking signal is sent with each byte the parallel ports sends out, so that the printer can latch the byte
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.
Serial Parallel and USB Cables enable the computer to communicate with the printer?
yes.. but printer and PC should have these ports..
What is the name of printer ports and diagram?
Printer ports are interfaces that connect printers to computers, and common types include USB, parallel (IEEE 1284), and network ports (Ethernet). USB ports are widely used for direct connections, while parallel ports were common in older printers. Network ports allow printers to connect to a network for shared access. Diagrams typically illustrate the physical layout of these ports on the printer and the corresponding cables or connections to the computer.
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.
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 some ways through which local printers and scanners connect directly to a computer?
The two main ones are parallel printer ports (older) and USB ports (newer)
Can a parallel to usb adapter be used with a usb hub to create usb ports?
The only parallel to USB adapter I've seen is one which allows you to hook up a parallel printer to a USB port on the computer. You could not use that manner to create USB ports.
What are the different types of ports?
Standard parallel port (SPP), Enhanced parallel port (EPP), and Extended Capabilities port (ECP)
How many parallel ports on PC?
Most standard PCs typically have one parallel port, which is often used for connecting printers and some other devices. However, some older models or specialized systems may have two or more parallel ports. With the shift to USB and other modern interfaces, parallel ports have become less common in contemporary PCs.
