Next, connect your computers and the printer to the AutoSwitch using the
proper cables:
Important Notes:
Take note which printer is connected to which port on the AutoSwitch.
Make sure the cables you are using are not file-transfer cables (Belkin
Part# F3D508-XX); otherwise the setup will not work.
We recommend Belkin cables for best results:
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.
Avoid using any status monitoring software, status toolbox, or
bi-directional printer drivers. As much as possible, please use output-only
or Raster drivers. This is so that it will not lock up the AutoSwitch.
Check the end of this manual for information on disabling bi-directional
communication on your specific printer.
