USB INFORMATION
The ADP3140 Bridge converts USB to IEEE-1284 (parallel) signals. This allows the user to work in an all USB environment even though some of his/her peripherals (printers for example) have not been replaced with USB ones. Some printer drivers need to be downloaded from the printer's manufacturer's site; this is more likely when connecting to a MAC™. PLEASE NOTE: This item only works from USB on the computer to an IEEE-1284 printer. At this time, we don't have an item that does the opposite (A computer's parallel port to USB). If you need to add USB to a computer, please see our ADP3150 for a PCI card or ADP31522 for PCMCIA.

Specifications

• USB peripherals can connect either to a computer's port or to a hub.
• If the computer doesn't have enough ports for all the peripherals, a hub is necessary.
• Maximum length on individual cables is 5 Meters.
• No terminators are needed on this bus.
• The A (flat) type port would be considered the "out" port on a computer or hub.
• The B (square) type port would be considered an "in" port on hubs or peripherals.
• A typical USB "out" (Type-A) port can provide up to 500mA.
• The speed is 12 Megabytes per second, the maximum number of peripherals to a controller is 63 (hubs needed when the computer runs out of ports).
