Why The IEEE 1284 Switch?
Auto Switches are the most economical and convenient way to share printers or IEEE 1284 devices with 1 to 4 PCs. These are the perfect solutions for small businesses, home offices or personal use. With ConnectPRO's IEEE 1284 switches, you can take advantage of:
  • high speed data transfer - IEEE 1284 EPP / ECP mode can improve data transfer up to 2 Megabytes per second, instead of the traditional printing speed of only about 20 Kilobytes per second. It's about 100 times faster.
  • checks / controls printers remotely - the status of your printers can be fed back on your PC's screen.
  • increases user productivity - reduces the trouble-shooting time with your printers / IEEE 1284 devices.
  • works with regular parallel printers - they are backward compatible with standard parallel port printers.
