EPP
The parallel port can be used with devices that
adhere to the Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP)
specification. EPP uses the existing parallel port
signals to provide asymmetric bi-directional data
transfer driven by the host device.
ECP
The parallel port can be used with devices that
adhere to the Extended Capabilities Port (ECP)
specification. ECP uses the DMA protocol to
achieve data transfer rates up to 2.5 Megabits per
second. ECP provides symmetric bi-directional
communication.
