parallel and serial port
yes
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 Parallel ports are older technology and have been replaced by "printer ports" which accommodate special USB cables with printer plugs.
Parallel ports typically have 25 or 36 pin ports. Serial ports, by contrast, have only 9 pins. Both type of ports have two rows of pins.
A handshaking signal is sent with each byte the parallel ports sends out, so that the printer can latch the byte
What are the parallel ports on a computer commonly referred to as?
One bit at a time.
Its Parallel and Serial
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.
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.
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.
