Thank you for purchasing the Belkin Reversible Parallel AutoSwitch! With the
Reversible Parallel AutoSwitch, sharing one printer between four PCs, or
having one PC select from four printers is easier than ever - no more
swapping cables, turning knobs, or pushing buttons.
In forward mode, the AutoSwitch allows sharing of one printer among four
computers. The AutoSwitch polls each port constantly, waiting for a computer
to request access to the printer. Once the AutoSwitch detects a computer
wanting to print, it will automatically lock onto that PCs port, and provide
communication to the printer. When no more data is being transferred after
the time-out period, the switch will return to scanning both ports.
The AutoSwitch can also be reversed, allowing one computer to select
between four printers. For instance, you can easily switch between two laser
and two ink jet printers from any application. The included software creates
special virtual ports which give you printer selection capability from any
Windows 95 or 98 application.
®
The Reversible Parallel AutoSwitch will open a world of printing possibilities,
unparalleled by any device on the market today in price and performance.
