    Altitude Tolerance— Power Supply— IEEE 1284 B interface must support the optional 5V on pin 18, and IEEE 1284 C must support interface pin 36 (peripheral logic high). Otherwise, power must be supplied using the optional AC wallmount power supply (PS095).

    3. The Converter derives power from the RS-232/423 and IEEE 1284 interfaces. For the Converter to operate as an interface-powered device, the IEEE 1284 B interface must support the optional 5V on pin 18, and IEEE 1284 C must support interface pin 36 (peripheral logic high). If the IEEE 1284 interface does not meet these requirements, you must supply power to the Converter using the optional wallmount AC power supply (PS095).

    IEEE 1284 SERIAL TO PARALLEL CONVERTER Once the Converter is properly configured and installed, it should operate transparently—as if it were a standard cable connection. There is no ON/OFF switch. LED Status Monitors The Converter features two easy-to-read status LEDs. The green LED glows when optional AC power (from the optional PS095 power supply) is applied to the unit.
