1-to-2 Mode

Selecting the printer manually:

Set the slide switch to activate the desired port.

Selecting the printer through software controls:

When in Windows, use the software provided to select the desired printer port. If in DOS, use the Hot Key commands to select the printer port. (Hot Keys ONLY function in DOS and will not work in Windows). See the Read.me file on the CD.

Broadcast Mode:

Can only be used when all printers are identical. Sends a print job to all printers simultaneously. All LEDs are illuminated when the switch is in this mode.

About the Software:

The software allows you to directly select any PORT, or select all PORTS at once in broadcast mode. This software ONLY needs to be installed when you are using the switch in 1-to-2 mode (1 PC to 2 Printers). For additional information on this software please view the READ.ME file included on the driver CD.

Troubleshooting:

IMPORTANT: First check that all cables are connected properly. If they are, then connect the printer directly to the computer to determine if the problem involves the switch. Ensure that the slide switches are set to the correct position.

If any of the connected printers is an IEEE 1284 bi-directional printer then you need to use an IEEE Parallel Reversible Bitronics Auto Switch.
