Quatech/B&B 1 Port Performance PCIe based IEEE-1284 EPP Parallel ExpressCard
We're sorry this product has been discontinued. Please choose from the menu on the left for alternative products.
Quatech/B&B's high performance ExpressCard 34 to EPP Parallel cards adds fast IEEE-1284 EPP Parallel ports to mobile computers for attaching DB25 equipped Parallel printers, scanners, or other Parallel port devices. Unlike other ExpressCard IEEE-1284 EPP Parallel adapters, Quatech/B&B's utilize the PCIe portion of the ExpressCard standard.
Advantages of a PCIe-based ExpressCard design are in the interface to the laptop's motherboard. The PCIe bus interface is the successor to the PCI bus, which in turn was the successor to the ISA bus to which built-in ports were originally attached. As such, the ExpressCard adapter design utilizes a PCIe-based design and can still directly use I/O space addresses and interrupts, thus more closely emulating built-in ports than can be done via USB-based design. Moreover, because there's no USB stack for the drivers to contend with, throughput can be higher and latency will be lower (considerably so in many cases). Due to improved data transfer rate, the ExpressCard is considerably more efficient for multi-tasking operations.
