Detailed explanation-1: -Short for Extended Capabilities Port, a parallel-port standard for PCs that supports bi-directional communication between the PC and attached devices (such as a printer). ECP is about 10 times faster than the older Centronics standard.
Detailed explanation-2: -Each new parallel port design helped improve the performance and speed of data transfer. Both the EPP and ECP support an eight-bit bidirectional port. Usually, EPP is used for newer models of printers and scanners, whereas ECP is used for non-printer peripherals, such as network adapters or disk drives.
Detailed explanation-3: -ECP is a Parallel Port mode that is available on most computers to increase the speed at which data is transmitted and is set in the computer’s BIOS settings. The BIOS is a set of computer instructions that are loaded into a memory chip on the computer’s motherboard.
