Congratulations on your purchase of the USB-Parallel Printer Cable.

This unique
cable adapter allows you to attach your computer to most parallel printer device
through the USB port and get faster printing results.

The USB-Parallel printer cable allows your PC to print with parallel printer devices
connected through the USB port. Just plug the USB connector of the cable into the
USB port of your PC, and the other end into the centronics connector of the standard
parallel printer. USB (Universal Serial Bus) interface provides up to 12Mbps data
throughput, so printing is much faster compared when connected to standard parallel
port (150kbs). The USB-Parallel cable also provides true plug-and-play and hot-plug
capability – simply plug in the cable under the Windows® operating system and the
cable will be instantly detected.
