Serial printing
With serial printing, data is transferred one bit at a time. Although serial printing is usually slower than parallel printing, it is
the preferred option when there is a great deal of distance between the printer and computer, or when a parallel interface is
not available.
Note: A serial interface card is required and can be purchased separately.
