- We will be designing a product with a Centronics Parallel
- port on it. I have a few questions regarding what exactly
- a Centronics Parallel port is:
-
- 1. Is there a standard (such as EIA-232 for RS-232)?
- If so, what is it and how do I get it?
- 2. Or, is it a de facto industry standard? If so, where
- do I find a definitive definition of pinout and
- signal timing?
-
- Please E-mail responses and I will post a synopsis. Thank you
- in advance,
- Pat
