ADVANCED USER TIP:

If you are using devices with pass-through ports (like Zip® Drives and scanners), you can connect a printer to the pass-through port and use the other device port on the Bitronics switch to connect to another device. Just be sure that the printer driver has its Port set to the correct device port. For example, if you wish to use 2 printers, 1 Zip® Drive and 1 scanner, connect the Zip® Drive to Port A, the Scanner to Port B, the first printer to the pass- through of the Zip® Drive, and the second printer to the pass-through of the scanner. In the Bitronics software, set “Port A” to “Mass Storage Device”, and “Port B” to “Scanner”. Then in the “Printer Properties/details”, set the “Print to the following Port” to “LPx1- PA (auto switch)” for the first printer, and “LPx1- PB (auto switch)” for the second printer. In general, only printers can be connected to pass-through ports.
