Description:
The Reversible Bi-Directional AutoSwitch from Linksys is like getting two switches in one! Use it from a single PC to access 4 printers. Or if you prefer, turn it around to share one printer from 4 PCs -- the choice is yours!
While most auto switches aren't compatible with bi-directional printers, the Linksys Bi-Directional AutoSwitch lets you access any standard, bi-tronic, or bi-directional printer from one or two PCs in just minutes. Ready to run with dot matrix, laser, color, and ink jet printers from HP, IBM, Panasonic, Canon, and most other manufacturers, the AutoSwitch's high speed throughput and reliable two-way communication are ideal for printing even the most complex graphics and text in black and white or color. The Reversible Bi-Directional AutoSwitch is also compatible with external parallel port CD-ROM drives, hard disks, Zip drives, tape backups, cameras, and other devices - connect one or two of them to the AutoSwitch just like printers!
