## Long description

The StarTech PCIe Parallel DB25 Adapter Card PEX1P2 adds a single DB25 LPT parallel port to a desktop computer via a PCI Express x1 slot. Designed for compatibility with devices that use a legacy parallel interface, the card supports SPP and ECP parallel modes and is available with both full-profile and low-profile brackets for installation in a variety of desktop enclosures. The card uses a PLX/Oxford OXPCIe952 and Asix AX99100 chipset combination and is backward compatible with PCIe 1.1.

How to use
Power off the computer and unplug it from the mains. Remove the case cover and insert the card into an available PCIe x1 slot, or any open x1-compatible slot, securing it with the appropriate bracket and screw. Reassemble the case and power on the system. Install any required drivers for your operating system if prompted or obtain drivers from the system vendor. Connect the DB25-equipped peripheral to the card's parallel port using a standard DB25 cable. Configure device settings in the operating system or device software as needed.
Usage recommendations
Use short, high-quality DB25 cabling for reliable data transfer and minimize electromagnetic interference by avoiding long runs alongside power cables.
