Overview
The SXP-500 is an interface converter that allows Centronics and RS-232 devices to communicate with each other (a computer with an RS-232 output to a Centronics printer, for example)
The SXP-500 provides a DB-9 RS-232C (DCE) compatible connector, and a C-36 Centronics connector. The serial baud rate is from 1200 to 115200 bps., selectable by a combination of DIP Switch and Jumper settings. The parallel interface speed is 92.16 KB/sec.
The unit supports both hardware and software (XON/XOFF) handshaking. Setup is extremely easy. All that is involved is setting the DIP Switch, Jumper (JP1), and connecting the cables.
