IEEE 1284

IEEE 1284, also known as the Centronics port, is a standard that defines bi-directional parallel communications between computers and other devices, with a theoretical maximum throughput of 4 MB/s. It was originally developed in the 1970s by Centronics for use with dot matrix printers before being formally standardized by the IEEE in March 1994.
