The DataPro ParaLink allows the
user to connect a PC computer to
a printer up to 1300 feet away.
The Paralink device consists of a
transmitter and a receiver. The
transmitter plugs directly onto a
PC Parallel port (DB25F on CPU);
the receiver plugs directly onto a
Centronics Parallel type printer
(CN36F port on the printer).
The transmitter and receiver are
sold as a set.
This unit replaces a normal IBM
parallel printer cable.
The connection between the two
devices is via RJ1104 on UTP wire
or standard Telco type flat wire.
Unlike typical Telco (telephone)
wiring, however, the wire map used
for ParaLink is pin-to-pin, not
cross-over.
