referred to as the Centronics
interface or Centronics connector after the company that
originally designed
it, the port was later developed by Epson. The
parallel port is found on the back of IBM compatible computers
and is a 25-pin (type DB-25) computer interface
commonly used to connect printers to the
computer; below is an example of the DB25 interface.
The interface found on the back of
parallel interfaces is commonly a 36-pin male / female connector
that is held in place with levers on each side of the cable.
The Apple
Macintosh computers use SCSI as its interface, which is parallel,
but a lot more flexible when compared to the parallel port used with
IBM compatible computers.
