Parallel (Centronics) Interface

The parallel port is a standard 36-pin Centronics, which complies
with IEEE 1284 standard (compatibility mode). Pin assignments
are as follows:
Pin Direction

Auto Polling
Both the serial port and parallel port of this printer can be
activated at the same time, i.e the printer can simultaneously
communicate with two PCs via different ports. However as no port
contention is made for this printer, if both PCs transmit data at the
same time the data may become damaged in the receiving buffer.
