Ports and Connector Pin-Outs: Dell Inspiron 4100
(one byte) are sent simultaneously over eight separate lines.
The parallel connector can also be configured for compatibility with the PS/2 standard. Support for the 
EPP feature improves network adapter performance (adapters connect to the computer's parallel 
connector and require the appropriate software drivers from the adapter's manufacturer).
If you reconfigure your hardware, you may need pin number and signal information for the parallel 
connector.
