Provides PC to PC

high-speed data

transfer via the

parallel port.

Built-in

microprocessor

provides real-time

Operates in auto-link

or manual mode.

Just plug and play!

Includes software.

any of today’s printers use the

bidirectional IEEE 1284

interface which enables the

printer to communicate with your

PC.

Bidirectional Autoswitches

are fully IEEE 1284 compatible and

enable you to share printers,

scanners, Zip drives, CD-ROM

drives, digital cameras, and more.

You can even use the switches

for PC-to-PC high-speed data

transfer via the parallel port.

All three models support

speeds up to 2 MB per second

and are fully compatible with the

IEEE-1284 standard as well as

ECP/EPP, Centronics, Byte, and

nibble modes. A built-in

microprocessor provides real-

time communication between

devices.

The switches automatically

sense BiTronics or Centronics

printers. And they work with

DeskJet

printers without

Use these sharers with laser

printers or other devices requiring

a bidirectional IEEE 1284 interface.

disabling the bidirectional

communications.

You can set the time out

period between print jobs from 5

seconds up to 40 seconds.

Bidirectional Autoswitches

install easily—just plug and play.

Easy-to-read LEDs indicate which

channel is in use.

The Reversible Bidirectional

AutoSwitch connects two

computers to one IEEE-1284

BiTronics printer or other parallel

device. Or use two parallel

devices with one computer.

Supports Windows

Bidirectional Dual Bus

AutoSwitches connect two or

four computers to two IEEE-1284

BiTronics printers or other parallel

devices.

Dual-bus architecture

features two independent

channels for simultaneous access

to parallel devices and file

transfer.

Supports Windows 3.1, 95, 98,
