IR100M series (IR100/100M/100M+/100MP) is generally compatible with most parallel printer models.
However, some latest models that are not backward compatible with ASCII or DOS-print commands may
not be compatible. You should check our listed compatible models before purchasing.
IR100M series is generally not compatible with multi-function printer (MFP) which requires two way
communication between printer and PC/PDA. IR100M adapter does provide two-way-communication
capability and its returned signals are received but dropped by O.S. and therefore, not compatible with
MFP. However, there are exceptions, such as Brother MFC4350 and other brands/models."
IR100M series compatible with any interface of IEEE 1284 Type B. If printer is equipped with 2 interfaces,
ONLY 1 interface could work each at time, both interfaces don’t work simultaneously.
When your Printer connected to an USB port, the Parallel port will not work and vice versa. If you want
printing from parallel port, you will need to turn off the power of printer then the printing session will
change from USB port to parallel port. Please make sure that, you turn on/off the power every time when
you intend to change the interface.
