Features and Usage (continued)

IMPORTANT NOTE:

THE PARALLEL PRINTER PORT OF THE ExpressBusPlus IS DESIGNED TO BE USED AS OUTPUT-ONLY FOR PARALLEL PRINTERS. OTHER PARALLEL DEVICES SUCH AS REMOVABLE-MEDIA DRIVES, SCANNERS, CD-ROMS AND CAMERAS CANNOT COMMUNICATE TO THE COMPUTER THROUGH THE THIS PORT.

Hence, it is preferable to have your printer connected to the Parallel Printer Port of the ExpressBusPlus and other non- printer parallel devices to the LPT1 parallel port at the back of your computer. If you have more than one printer and still need the LPT1 parallel port to connect to a non-printer device, obtain Belkin Components USB Parallel Printer Adapters and connect all your printers to the USB ports of the ExpressBusPlus. Out of USB ports? Just get a Belkin Components ExpressBus® 4-Port or 7-Port Hub, and give your computer more USB ports to connect with!

USB Serial Port

The Serial Port of the ExpressBusPlus gives your system a fully functional serial port for Windows® capable of speeds of up to 115.2kbps. Any serial device will function normally in Windows® applications through the ExpressBusPlus Serial Port.

Note: There is no DOS-box support for the serial port. This means DOS applications running over Windows® will not be able to access serial devices connected to the serial port of the ExpressBusPlus. For these situations, obtain a Belkin Components USB Serial Adapter, Part# F5U003.
