Well there's a simple answer to that :)

Or the datasheet if you like:

If you look at the homepage there are samples for drivers
and customisations etc.
But is actually is an 'serial' device not parallel, but as
it is using USB I don't see that that should hinder the troughtput
to anything considered 'to slow' for an PIC.
