Intelligent Interfaces MicroPrint 45CH HP-IB to Parallel Interface Converter Overview
Features:
- HP-IB (IEEE-488)
- 40 KB/s Data Rates
- Variable Resolution
- HP-GL Mode
- Color Mode
This MicroPrint 45CH is equipped with the Variable Resolution and HP-GL (HP Graphics Language) features. Variable resolution allows you to adjust the size of raster (bit mapped) graphics output in portrait orientation when using HP dot matrix, DeskJet, & LaserJet printers. Variable resolution allows adjustment of the raster graphics size in landscape orientation when using HP LaserJets only. The HP-GL mode allows HP LaserJets which use PCL 5 (Printer Control Language, version 5 or later) to be used as plotters.
The MicroPrint 45CH is an interface converter, not a printer emulator. Your software must send the correct data format to the MicroPrint and printer. HP computers and test instruments send text and raster graphics data to printers in PCL format, and vector graphics data in HP-GL format. All HP printers accept PCL data and all HP plotters accept HP-GL data. Unless you are printing text only, you must use an HP-compatible printer with the above HP (or comparable) equipment. Consult your computer or software manual to ensure the printer you wish to use is supported before connecting the MicroPrint.
The input connector is a 24 pin IEEE-488 female "D" connector with metric screw lock hardware. The output connector is a female 25 pin "DB25" type connector with screw lock hardware. The pinout of the parallel port is compatible with the IBM PC-type parallel printer interface cable. The MicroPrint 45CH is powered by a 9V AC or DC wall-mounted power adapter.
The MicroPrint 45CH is a one-way converter: from HP-IB to Parallel. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE IT IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION (i.e., with the MicroPrint 45CV/CH Centronics output connected to a computer parallel output port).
The Intelligent Interfaces MicroPrint 45CH HP-IB to Parallel Interface Converter may still be available for purchase and support from Artisan Technology Group beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

What Customers Are Saying

Contacted Artisan for hard to find that has been out of circulation for nearly a decade. Their rapid response and availability exceeded all other suppliers. They supplied the part overnight to an out of state facility which allowed us to repair our equipment successfully. Well packed electronics. Well stated and professional documentation. I work with a hundred different suppliers any day of the week in my profession. Artisan remains at the very top of the bookmark tab. Thanks so much.
