IOGEAR Bluetooth Combo Print Adapter supports both IEEE1284 and USB printers, but only one connection
at a time. In other words, it doesn’t support two printers simultaneously. If you plug printers to both parallel
and USB ports, only the parallel printer connected will work.

The RESET button is to re-initialize the printer adapter. Use a pointed object to initialize the Reset process.
The Power LED turns on when power is supplied through the power adapter.
The Bluetooth LED blinks when Bluetooth link is established but no data is transmitted on the line. It stays
on when data is transmitted.
The Printer LED is on when there is a USB or parallel printer connected to the Bluetooth print combo adapter.
It is OFF when no printer is connected. It blinks when the print combo adapter is receiving data transmis-
sion.
