The parallel port is ideal for connecting printers, scanners, plotters, point-of-sale terminals, PLCs, scientific sensors, medical equipment or oscilloscopes. The card can also be used in factories, to control or automate equipment. The parallel (LPT) port supports SPP/Byte/Nibble/ECP modes and is compatible with PCI Power Management 1.2 and IEEE 1284 for speeds up to 2.5Mbps . Adds a COM Serial Port The Asix AX99100 chip also enables you to connect a DB9 device using the same controller card, compatible with industry standard 16950 UART . The serial port is ideal for connecting point of sale terminals, serial printers, PLCs, control/automation in factories, scientific sensors, medical equipment, scanners and oscilloscopes. The serial (COM) port supports bi-directional RS232 speeds up to 921.6Kbps per port , available 256 byte FIFO buffer & 9th data bit. The card also features an optional SATA power input that enables you to add power to pin 9 on the serial port , and adjusting the power output between 5V and 12V using a jumper on the PCB. Wide Installation Compatibility This add-on card installs in a full/standard-profile PCIe 2.0 x1 slot (backward compatible with PCIe 1.1). For wide platform support the card is compatible with Windows (7 or higher), Windows Server (2003 or higher), and Linux (2.6.X or higher) . Review: Useful as expected. - Useful as expected.

Installation is easy, and cards perform well. ### ⭐ Not assignable to the ISA bus address space *by J***. on 18 August 2025* What they don't tell you about this card is that it is not assignable to the legacy ISA bus address space. Legacy printer ports communicated over ISA bus and had a base IO address of 0x378 or 0x278. Most software designed to use the legacy parallel printer ports are hard coded to use this address space. Thus, these programs will not work with this device. ## Frequently Bought Together - StarTech.com PCIe Card with Serial and Parallel Port - PCI Express Combo Adapter Card with 1x DB25 Parallel Port & 1x RS232 Serial Port - Expansion/Controller Card - PCIe Printer Card (PEX1S1P950) - StarTech.com 1-Port Parallel PCIe Card - PCI Express to Parallel DB25 Adapter Card - Desktop Expansion LPT Controller for Printers, Scanners & Plotters - SPP/ECP - Standard/Low Profile (PEX1P2) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/306002579-startech-com-pcie-card-with-serial-and-parallel-port-pci](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/306002579-startech-com-pcie-card-with-serial-and-parallel-port-pci) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-26*
