FEATURES SPECIFICATIONS 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.

Notes:
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).
