Overview
The USB to Parallel Cable provides bi-directional connectivity between any standard IEEE-1284 compliant parallel port devices and
the Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface. Software drivers are also provided to create a seamless migration path from traditional
parallel port to the USB environment. With 512 bytes of unified data buffer, it is capable of providing maximum throughput for both
upstream and downstream data transfer for a wide variety of devices. The IEEE-1284 interface is robust enough to handle various
not-so-compliant parallel port implementation.
