How does it work?

With the Bitronics Software loaded and the ports properly configured for the

printers as shown in step 8 above, when you print in Windows

, the print job

goes to the Bitronics software first. There, the Bitronics software adds a

command in the beginning of the print job telling the Bitronics Switch which

port to send the print job to.

In the example below, the Epson Printer is connected to Port B, as described

in the Where: line. When printing, the Bitronics software tells the Bitronics

switch to switch to Port B first, then allows the print job to go through the

switch, out to Port B, and to the Epson printer.

Then if you wish to print to the second printer, let's say a LaserJet

™

for

example, all you have to do is select that particular printer in the Print dialog

box. Click OK, and the print job is automatically sent to the LaserJet

printer

™

on Port A of the Bitronics switch.
