Can anyone please help im running Mach 3 on a Acer laptop which is running windows XP, I have use a USB to 25Pin Parallel Printer Cable Lead is that right??? Can anyone help me with the setting or something like that, does someone have one? how do you get it to run?

Thanks for your help!!!

Tim

angel tech:
I may be wrong but I don't think the usb to parallel adaptors work.

dave_c24:
I'm not sure if they will run off usb either but i know when using an non standard parallel port you need to change the port address in the config-ports &pins menu

timw4:
How do I do that?

BR549:
A USB to DB25 adapter will NOT work with Mach3. In this case you would need a motion controller such as a Smoothstepper.
