Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Belkin Reversible Parallel AutoSwitch! With the

Reversible Parallel AutoSwitch, sharing one printer between four PCs, or

having one PC select from four printers is easier than ever - no more

swapping cables, turning knobs, or pushing buttons.

In forward mode, the AutoSwitch allows sharing of one printer among four

computers. The AutoSwitch polls each port constantly, waiting for a computer

to request access to the printer. Once the AutoSwitch detects a computer

wanting to print, it will automatically lock onto that PCs port, and provide

communication to the printer. When no more data is being transferred after

the time-out period, the switch will return to scanning both ports.

The AutoSwitch can also be reversed, allowing one computer to select

between four printers. For instance, you can easily switch between two laser

and two ink jet printers from any application. The included software creates

special virtual ports which give you printer selection capability from any

Windows®95 or 98 application.

The Reversible Parallel AutoSwitch will open a world of printing possibilities,

unparalleled by any device on the market today in price and performance.

Four Computers Sharing One Printer (continued)

Next, connect your computers and the printer to the AutoSwitch using the

proper cables.

• Make sure the cables you are using are not file-transfer cables (Belkin

Part# F3D508-XX). Otherwise the setup will not work.

• For best results, we recommend Belkin cables:

F3D111-XX Belkin Pro Series DB25 M/M, straight-through

F2A032-XX Belkin Pro Series DB25 M/Centronics 36 M parallel

printer cable

“XX” represents the length of the cable in feet.

F3D111-XX

F2A032-XX

Important Notes

• It does not matter if a PC connects to Port A or Port B, etc... Just make

sure the printer is connected to the end connector (comes in new style,

Port C in old style). See diagram on page 4.

Manual Override

You can use the select button to force the switch to stay on a certain port

indefinitely. Pressing the SELECT button follows this sequence:

If you have the old-model autoswitch, you must set DIP switch #1 to ON for

manual override. Then, you can use the slide switch to select ports.

• If you are using DOS, no other changes are necessary, and no software

needs to be installed.

• The software is not necessary and must NOT be installed. Doing so may

cause your printer to print garbage.

• Avoid using any status monitoring software, status toolbox, or

bi-directional printer drivers. Output-only or Raster drivers are

recommended so that it will not lock up the AutoSwitch.

• Turn off bi-directional

communication on your printer

driver. To do this, click on “Start”,

click “Settings”, click “Printers”,

right-click on your printer, choose

“Properties”. Click on the “Details”

tab, then click on the “Spool

Settings” button. The window

shown on the right will appear on

your computer screen:

Make sure “Disable bi-directional

support for this printer” is

selected. Ignore if grayed out.

• Check the end of this manual for

information on disabling

bi-directional communication

on your specific printer.

Important Notes (continued)

Using the AutoSwitch

The AutoSwitch automatically connects a computer to the printer when a

computer is ready to print. This is done on a first-come first-served basis.

When all four LEDs are lit or are flashing, it is set for automatic sharing mode.

That's it!

YOU'RE DONE!

(Do not continue to the next page.)

You DO NOT have to install the software, or do anything more.

Simply print like you normally do on any computer and the

AutoSwitch will direct the print job automatically.
