Description | Software | Manual | Order page
Service USB RS232 is the smallest "member" of the series of the universal USB interfaces. It is using the same software as Service USB classic and Service USB plus, but has only the RS232 implemented.
Service USB RS232 is reduced to the minimum possible size and is housed inside the Sub D25 connector. As opposed to ordinary USB/ RS232 converters an abundant supply of software is part of our complete package.
Thus Service USB RS232 can be used by almost every program. Programs, which never have seen a serial port, like FileMaker, 4th Dimension or AppleScript can control the RS232 port.

Note
If you buy our receipt printer or barcode label printer, there is no need to order this USB/RS232 converter separately. It is included in scope of delivery of the printer. It looks like a normal computer cable and you take no notice of the RS232 drive.
