EPP uses the existing parallel port signals to provide asymmetric bidirectional data transfer driven by the host device. The parallel port can be used with devices that adhere to the Extended Capabilities Port (ECP) specifications. ECP uses the DMA protocol to achieve data transfer rates of up to 2. 5 Megabits per second. ECP provides symmetric bidirectional communication.
