To ensure the best operation and experience with this

procedures to prevent any damage to the Belkin USB Parallel
Printer Adapter and/or to the connected devices.
The Belkin USB Parallel Printer Adapter will allow any USB-
equipped Mac®(running OS 8.6 through OS 9.x) to print to
most parallel Ink Jet or LaserJet printers (refer to

Recommendations
• If you need more USB ports on your computer, Belkin
manufactures a variety of 4-port and 7-port USB hubs that
will allow you to expand your USB capabilities. Each 4-port
or 7-port hub will expand 1 port on your computer to 4 ports
or 7 ports.
• If you are using this device with a USB hub, the hub must
be self-powered (powered from the wall socket). If you
encounter an error with your hub stating that there is not
enough power to run this device, please be sure that the
hub is self-powered. All Belkin USB hubs can be configured
for self-power mode and include an AC wall outlet adapter
for this purpose.
