LPT (line print terminal) is the usual designation for a parallel port connection to a printer or other device on a personal computer.
printer port, used for external programmers LPC - stands for "Low Pin Count" - refers to an Intel standardized port allowing for legacy free computers to have legacy devices, in laymen.s terms a computer with only USB ports can have a PS2, Serial, Parallel, Game port, etc ports attached through some circuitry into the LPC port. In addition to legacy devices the LPC port can also be used to connect an IR port, Smart Card Reader, or External Bios - points in a 3rd generation chip install, 2 columns, 8 rows, filled with solder in a v1.0 xbox
Local Printer Terminal - This is a printer port on computers or a communications port on the modchip used for external programmers.
A parallel port in which the printer is connected to.
Originally, Line Printer. Now, the logical device name for a parallel port.
Parallel interface port for printer or plotter on an IBM PC-style microcomputer.
The typical designation for a computer's connection to a printer or other device through a parallel port. The name originally stood for "line printer terminal," but the LPT port can be used for other devices as well, such as a video camera.
LPT is a parallel port on a PC computer, usually used for printers.
The device names for the first through third parallel ports on your computer are LPT1, LPT2, and LPT3.
Line Printer Terminal, commonly called local printer port.
n. Logical device name for a line printer, a name reserved by the MS-DOS operating system for up to three parallel printer ports designated LPT1, LPT2, and LPT3. The first port, LPT1, is usually the same as the primary MS-DOS hard-copy output device PRN (the logical device name for the printer). The letters LPT were originally used to stand for line print terminal.
LPT is the original, yet still common, name of the parallel port interface on IBM PC-compatible computers. It was designed to operate a text printer that used IBM's 8-bit extended ASCII character set. The name derives from the fact that "line printer" was a common generic term at the time for any type of text printer.
