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.

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.

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.

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.
