Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this cable provide power to my parallel device?

No, this cable handles data transmission. Your parallel device must have its own dedicated power supply.

Is this adapter compatible with Windows 10/11?

Yes, it is generally compatible, though you must ensure the drivers for your specific legacy parallel hardware support the current OS.

Can I use this for non-printer devices?

Yes, it can be used for any device that uses the standard parallel interface, such as industrial scanners or programmers.

Does it support USB 3.0 ports?

Yes, the USB 2.0 connector is backward compatible and will function in a USB 3.0 port at USB 2.0 speeds.

How long is the cable?

The LogiLink UA0054A has a length of 1.8 meters.

Troubleshooting

Device not recognized by computer

Try connecting the adapter to a different USB port and ensure the USB drivers on your PC are up to date.

Printer connected but not printing

Verify that your printer drivers are installed and correctly configured to use the assigned USB-to-Parallel virtual port.

Intermittent connection drops

Ensure the D-Sub 25-pin connection is firmly tightened using the integrated screws to prevent signal loss.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Cost-effective solution for legacy hardware
  • Generous 1.8m cable length
  • Simple, driver-friendly connection
  • Durable, standard D-Sub 25-pin interface

Cons

  • Limited by USB 2.0 data transfer speeds
  • Requires parallel device driver support
  • Not suitable for high-speed modern data transfer requirements

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the device, simply plug the USB connector into an active port on your computer and attach the parallel device to the 25-pin port. Ensure your operating system is updated; while the device is generally plug-and-play, specific hardware attached to the adapter may require its own legacy drivers to function correctly. To maintain the cable, avoid bending the cord at sharp angles near the connectors, as this can cause internal wire fatigue. Keep the ports free of dust and debris to ensure a stable electrical connection.
