The USB printer adapter easily solves the problem of connecting an older printer equipped with only a parallel port to a new computer that does not have a parallel interface anymore.
Seamless compatibility is guaranteed courtesy to Prolific's original chips. Watch out for problem-prone adapters with non-original chips.
Installing the adapter drivers is completely automatic because they constitute a standard part of Windows, Mac OS, or Linux operating systems. The user only has to install drivers for the connected printer if necessary.
The compact transmitter has a built-in DB25 female connector that is mainly designed to interface with the printer cable. It can also be connected directly to devices equipped with a DB25 male connector.
Bi-Directional Interface: Bi-directional communication allows you to check the status of your printer from your computer.
Supports all IEEE1284 compatible printers, multifunction devices and other IEEE1284 compatible peripherals.
The tough, 5mm thick, double-shielded USB cable ensures stable data transfer without interference.
The lengthy 1.5m long cable attached to the adapter covers most user requirements.
Adapter electronics are embedded in plastic, forming a very durable piece of tech that is also suitable for industrial applications.
