Centronics interface
LastModified: Sunday, September 01, 1996
A
standard
interface
for connecting
printers
and other
parallel
devices
. Although Centronics Corporation designed the original standard, the Centronics interface used by modern
computers
was designed by Epson Corporation. For PCs, almost all
parallel ports
conform to the Centronics standard. Two new parallel port standards that are
backward compatible
with Centronics, but offer faster transmission rates, are
ECP (Extend Capabilities Port)
and
EPP (Enhanced Parallel Port)
.
