Silex SX-PS-3200P Centronics Parallel Print Server
Business-grade network print server that connects a parallel (Centronics) port printer directly to a 10/100Mbps LAN, enabling multiple computers to share the printer over the network without a dedicated host PC.
Key Features
- New Silex SX-PS-3200P Centronics print server — connects a parallel port printer directly to a wired LAN network
- Article number: E1271 — plug directly into the printer parallel port; no printer cable required
- 1x RJ45 Ethernet port — 10BASE-T / 100BASE-TX auto-sensing (10/100Mbps)
- 1x Parallel interface — 36-pin Amphenol / IEEE 1284 Centronics compliant
- Supports TCP/IP protocol; IPv4 and IPv6 dual-stack supported — future-ready for pure IPv6 network environments
- Includes SX-Print client software — provides more stable printing than OS standard print protocols
- Includes SX Monitor — real-time printer status monitoring (paper out, printing) via pop-up notifications
- IP Filter security feature — restrict printer access to defined IP address ranges
- Configuration via Web Browser, TELNET, SNMP, or Windows Set-Up utility
- Compact and lightweight (62 × 91.1 × 22.5 mm, 75 g); certified VCCI / FCC / CE Class-B

Additional Notes
- Designed specifically for parallel (Centronics) port printers — plugs directly into the printer's 36-pin IEEE 1284 port; no separate parallel cable is required.
- Not suitable for USB-only printers; the SX-PS-3200P is a parallel interface print server only — for USB printer sharing see the WAVLINK WL-NU72P11 or WL-NU516U1.
- IPv6 dual-stack support makes this unit suitable for modern business networks transitioning away from IPv4; note that IPv6 mode is not supported under Windows XP.
- SX-Print client software provides more reliable printing than OS-level standard print protocols, particularly for complex documents on legacy parallel port printers.
- New unit; not refurbished or aftermarket.
