Customer Questions & Answers
Will this cable work with any printer that has a parallel port, or are there compatibility limitations?
The cable is compatible with most printers that use a standard 36-pin Centronics parallel port, following the IEEE 1284 standard. However, for very old printer models or specialist hardware, there may be support limitations depending on the drivers available for your operating system. It is advisable to check that your printer is compatible with standard Centronics interfaces.
What are the exact dimensions of the cable, and what is included in the box?
The cable length is 1 metre (1.00 m). The box includes only the cable with a USB Type A male connector at one end and a 36-pin Centronics male connector at the other end. No power adapter or driver CD is included, as it is generally Plug & Play on supported systems.
Does it require external power, or does it use power from the USB port?
It does not need external power; the cable is powered directly through the USB port (5 V, <500 mA typically). This makes installation straightforward and reduces potential technical issues.
Which operating systems are natively supported, and when might additional drivers be required?
The cable is natively compatible with Windows systems from Windows 95 (OSR2.1) up to Windows 10. For Windows 98, ME, 2000 and XP, the operating system usually recognises the device automatically. On older versions or alternative systems (Linux/Mac), specific drivers may need to be downloaded, but availability is not guaranteed by the manufacturer.
What advantages does this cable offer over parallel PCI cards or longer cables?
The USB-to-parallel cable provides a portable, simple solution without opening the computer or needing free slots. However, compared with PCI cards, it may have lower transfer speed (limited by USB 1.1/2.0 and the conversion chip itself), which affects printing of complex graphics. Cables longer than 1 m can increase interference and signal loss, reducing reliability, so this model prioritises a good signal over short distances.
Which operating systems is this cable compatible with?
It is compatible with Windows 95 (OSR2.1), 98, ME, 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8 and 10.
Does the USB to parallel cable need external power?
No, the cable has low power consumption and does not require additional external power.
What type of printers can I connect with this cable?
You can connect printers or other devices that have a 36-pin Centronics parallel port.
What is the cable length?
The cable is 1 metre long.
Is it compatible with printer monitoring software?
Yes, it supports most printer monitoring software.
