What is the difference between usb port printer interface and parallel port Interface?
The primary difference is that a USB interface type printer requires the computer to have a USB port (as all modern computers do) whereas a parallel interface type printer requires the computer to have a parallel (LPT) port (which many modern computers do not have.) There are USB-to-parallel converters however which plug into USB and allow the use of parallel printers. Additionally, many legacy applications only have support for parallel printers, in these cases, in order to use a USB printer it may be necessary to create a virtual parallel port and map the USB printer to it.
What type of cord should you use from computer to printer with usb port only?
Go on the maker's website, you should find the type of USB cable you need there.
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.
What type of port cannot be used to connect to a printer?
If the printer is of an older type that has the appropriate logic circuits, connectors and compatiible printer driver software, a parallel port and/or a serial portcan be used if they are available on the pc.
Is a parallel port a type of computer port?
Yes.
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.
What type of port is LPT?
LPT is short for Line Printer. So it is a parallel port. The most common type of socket is a DB-25.
If it is called dot matrix it is a type of what?
Computer printer.
What is the printer card?
A card printer is just like a regular printer except that it prints on plastic cards! Plastic card printers are mostly used by companies, clubs, stores, schools and universities to edit ID cards, badges, loyalty cards , gift cards. For example, there are Evolis card printers or Zebra and some others. Hope this answers your question!
What type of output does a printer put out?
A printer puts information that is stored on the computer as ink on paper.
Why are keyboards connected to the serial port?
the keyboard is connected to the computer because if you want to type on the computer then the key board has to be connected with the computer other whys you won't be able to type on the computer!!! Hope I Helped You!!!
Which type of printer uses an inked ribbon?
A dot matrix printer or impact printer is a type of computer printer and prints by impact, striking an inked cloth or Mylar ribbon against the paper.
