Parallel Interface Ports
Unlike the serial port, parallel interface ports have been standardized and
should not present any difficulty interfacing peripherals to your system.
Sometimes called a Centronics port, the parallel port is almost exclusively
used with printers. The parallel port on you system has a 25-pin, DB5
connector (see picture below). The pinouts for the parallel port are shown
in the table below.
