from the parallel port because there is no access to
any power via the parallel port interface

C-PCPOWER-2M. This is an adapter cable that connects the mouse port of your
PC
to
the
PPIO
power cable.
POWERED EXTERNALLY
The
PPIO
can be powered from any 5V power supply. Simply connect Ground and
+5Volt power according to the diagram shown here.
