Troubleshooting Tips

If you have installed the driver correctly but the adapter is not working as expected, here are some possible solutions:

Make sure the adapter is connected to a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port on your computer. Some USB 1.1 ports may not provide enough power or bandwidth for the adapter.
Make sure the serial or parallel device is compatible with the adapter. The adapter supports RS-232 serial devices and IEEE 1284 parallel devices with standard connectors and protocols.
Make sure the serial or parallel device is configured correctly. You may need to adjust the settings such as baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits, flow control, etc. to match the device specifications.
Make sure the serial or parallel cable is not damaged or loose. Try using a different cable if possible.
Try using a different USB port or a powered USB hub if you have multiple devices connected to your computer.
Try restarting your computer or unplugging and replugging the adapter if it stops working after a while.
