Printer
This peripheral device allows information such as reports, Point of Sale
transactions, and checks to be printed on paper or special forms. There are 3
ways a printer could be hooked up to the computer:
Parallel
This is hooked up directly to the main computer and is known as the
system printer. It is usually port #90 and any port on the system can print
to it. It is connected with a heavy round cord.
Serial
This is an addressable printer, meaning it is assigned a port number and
can be addressed (printed to) from any port on the system. It is connected
with an RJ45 connector and a flat cable.
Slave
This is a non-addressable printer (it is not assigned a port number) but is
physically attached to a terminal or PC. Only that terminal can print to it.
A slave printer can print the information showing on the terminal screen
from which it is slaved, otherwise known as a “screen dump.”
There are many different kinds of printers. Here are examples of the common
printers Dimensions uses.
