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."
