BT6PT01 USB TO IEEE-1284 PRINTER CABLE


OVERVIEW

The USB-Parallel cable allows your PC to print to most parallel printer device connected through the USB port.


Just plug the USB connector of the cable into the USB port of your PC and the other end into the centronics connector of the parallel printer . 


USB (Universal Serial Bus) interface provides up to 12Mbps data throughput, so printing is much faster compared when connected to standard parallel port (150kbs). The USB-Parallel cable also provides true plug-n-play and hot-plug capability ¡V simply plug in the cable under the Windows operating system and the cable will be instantly detected.

FEATURES & BENEFITS
" Bi-direction Capabilitycan not only detect control signal from the printer, but also can transfer the messages, such as 
out-of paper/ink cartridge or open the case, even transfer data backward to the computer.

" Native driver implementation Utilizing the native printer image engines, BT6PT01 makes a perfect match for the printers

providing extensive print quality. The photo reproduction is at the top of the pack - the contrast is incredible and colors are
vivid.

" Dual-Thread Controller Based Design Embedded with a unique Dual-Thread micro controller greatly improves the data 
transfer speed of USB devices, especially when it comes to printing out graphics.
