Parallel Port Connector
Use the 25-hole parallel port connector to attach a parallel device to the computer. The parallel port connector is used primarily for printers. The parallel port transmits
data in parallel format, where 8 data bits (one byte) are sent simultaneously over eight separate lines.
The parallel port can also be configured for compatibility with the Personal System/2 (PS/2) standard. Support for the Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP) feature improves
network adapter performance (adapters connect to the computer's parallel port and require the appropriate software drivers from the adapter's manufacturer).
If you reconfigure your hardware, you may need pin number and signal information for the parallel port connector.
