ADP-1P36 USB - printer adapter

The USB printer adapter easily solves the problem of connecting an older printer only equipped with a parallel port to a new computer that no longer has a parallel interface.
 

The seamless compatibility thanks to the original chip by Prolific. Beware of problem adapters with non-original chips.
Installing the adapter drivers is completely automatic because they are already a standard part of Windows, Mac OS, or Linux operating systems. The user only installs drivers for the connected printer, if necessary.
 

The compact converter has the most common parallel 36-pin Centronics male connector integrated in the body to allow reliable direct connection to most parallel port printers.
Bi-Directional Interface: Bi-directional communication allows you to check the status of your printer from your computer.
Supports all IEEE1284 compatible printers, MFPs and other IEEE1284 compatible peripherals.
 

An honest 5mm thick, double-shielded USB cable guarantees stable data transmissions without interference.
A 1.5 m long cable attached permanently to the adapter is sufficient in most cases.
 

The adapter electronics is embedded in plastic and thus form a very durable unit also suitable for industrial applications.
 

The AXAGON ADP-1P36 USB printer adapter with the Centronics connector easily connects a printer with parallel port to the USB port of your computer.

Automatic installation of the adapter drivers that are part of the Windows, Mac OS, or Linux operating systems. This will create a print support via USB bus also for LPT-enabled printers.
