Features and Usage
(continued)
IMPORTANT NOTE:
THE PARALLEL PRINTER PORT OF THE ExpressBus
™
Plus IS
DESIGNED TO BE USED AS OUTPUT-ONLY FOR PARALLEL
PRINTERS. OTHER PARALLEL DEVICES SUCH AS
REMOVABLE-MEDIA DRIVES, SCANNERS, CD-ROMS AND
CAMERAS CANNOT COMMUNICATE TO THE COMPUTER
THROUGH THE THIS PORT.
Hence, it is preferable to have your printer connected to the
Parallel Printer Port of the ExpressBus
™
Plus and other non-
printer parallel devices to the LPT1 parallel port at the back of
your computer. If you have more than one printer and still need
the LPT1 parallel port to connect to a non-printer device,
obtain Belkin Components USB Parallel Printer Adapters and
connect all your printers to the USB ports of the ExpressBus
™
Plus. Out of USB ports? Just get a Belkin Components
ExpressBus
®
4-Port or 7-Port Hub, and give your computer
more USB ports to connect with!
USB Serial Port
The Serial Port of the ExpressBus
™
Plus gives your system a fully
functional serial port for Windows
®
capable of speeds of up to
115.2kbps. Any serial device will function normally in Windows
®
applications through the ExpressBus
™
Plus Serial Port.
Note:
There is no DOS-box support for the serial port.
This means DOS applications running over
Windows
®
will not be able to access serial devices
connected to the serial port of the ExpressBus
™
Plus. For these situations, obtain a Belkin
Components USB Serial Adapter, Part# F5U003.
