Computer port (hardware)
• A 'port' serves as an interface between the computer and other computers or peripheral devices.• A port is a specialized outlet on a
piece of equipment to which a plug or cable connects.

Electrical signal transfer
Electronically, hardware ports can almost always be divided into two groups based on the signal transfer:•Serial ports send and receive one bit at a time via a single wire pair (Ground and +/-).•Parallel ports send multiple bits at the same time over several sets of wires.

Parallel Port AddressesParallel Port Addresses
PORT Name PORT AddressLPT1 0x3BC (956)LPT2 0x378 (888)LPT3 0x278 (632)
When the computer is first turned on, BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) will determine the number of ports you have and assign device labels LPT1, LPT2 & LPT3 to them. Usually the address for LPT1 is 378h.
Parallel Port AddressesParallel Port Addresses
To know your Parallel Port address, do the following:Go to Start > Control Panel > System > ‘Hardware’ Tab > Click on Device Manager > Look for ‘Ports’ in the device list > Double click on LPT1 > Click on the ‘Resources’ Tab. In that you can see the starting address of I/O Range.
