General Notes
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The ProConnect compact auto switches should support most parallel
laser and dot matrix printers and plotters.

Software is not required for any of the ProConnect auto switches,
except for the Bi-Directional 2-to-1 and 4-to-1 when operating
in the 1-to-2 and 1-to-4 modes. The Installation Disk contains
the necessary ProConnect software to operate the switches in
these modes. The included files and their descriptions are:

CON12D.EXE 1-to-2 for DOS
CON12W.EXE 1-to-2 for Windows
CON12W.GRP 1-to-2 icon group for Windows
CON14D.EXE 1-to-4 for DOS
CON14W.EXE 1-to-4 for Windows
CON14W.GRP 1-to-4 icon group for Windows
README.EXE Automatically Loads & Reads README.TXT
README.TXT Technical Notes

The software automatically detects whether you're using DOS,
Windows, WFW, or Windows 95 and installs the software accordingly.

The ProConnect switches were not designed to be daisy-chained
together. Although this may work in some cases, various
combinations of multiple switchboxes have not been tested.

Both switches are designed to be non-powered units. This means
that, under most conditions, they should be able to draw their
power from the printer(s) and/or PC printer port(s) that they
are connected to. In some cases, however, your printer(s) and/or
printer ports may not give off enough power to run the switches.

In this case, you should:

(1). Make sure that your printer cable is less than 12 feet,
and that it is straight-through. It should pass ALL of
its pins from end-to-end. Cheap cables may appear to
have the necessary pins when you examine them, but they
may not pass all of the pins all of the way through (so
that the manufacturer can save money on copper and other
materials).

(2). If, after replacing your cable, the switch still doesn't
come to life, you may need to attach an AC power supply
to your switch's AC power jack. The power supply should
be a 9-volt, 50-100 milliamp unit. The adapter plug's
polarity should be DC +9 volts inside of the plug
and grounded on the outside.
