Introduction
AF-142 and AF-241, ParaHubs, are automatic and first-come-first-served data switches. They scan for print
job requests from both computers and send data to the printer. When one computer is printing, the other
computer can not send print job until the current one is finished. The File Transfer feature enables you to
access the other computer directly through the ParaHub and requires no special cables. Besides, the AF-142
can operate as a 1-to-2 selector enabling you to connect the LPT port to two parallel devices.

Page 2: Installation
Set the slide switch, located on the side of the ParaHub, to 2 > 1 mode with a time out of either 15 or 45 seconds. (The AF-241 does not have a 1 > 2 mark). Turn on your computers and the printer. The two LEDs should flash alternately as it is scanning for print jobs. -
Page 3: Operation
Operation 2-to-1 Mode (for AF-142 & AF-241) Auto Mode: The ParaHub scans for print jobs with two LEDs flashing alternately. When a print job is sensed, it locks onto the computer on a first-come-first-served basis until it finishes the job. Then, it returns to Auto mode again. - Page 4 The ParaHub is low on power, turn on one more device, or apply power adapter. The printer status Windows shows "printer not responding" or "cable not connected" intermittently: AF-142 and AF-241 do not emulate printer responses. Therefore, when status Windows poll for printer status at the same time, these messages show up.
