Applications
Printer switches were standard equipment in office and laboratory environments where multiple computers needed access to a limited number of shared printers. The CPS/1000 series supported IBM PC and IBM-compatible systems from the 1980s-1990s era. These devices managed printer port arbitration, eliminating the need for manual cable swapping between systems. Commonly used in small-to-medium business settings and technical environments requiring shared peripheral access.
This Bravo Communications CPS/1000 Model 1042 parallel printer automatic switch has been inspected and appears to be in good used condition. The unit shows typical cosmetic wear consistent with prior office use — light scuffing on the top and side panels — but no cracks, breaks, or significant damage. All DB25 connector ports on the front and rear appear intact with no visibly bent or missing pins. The Device Select switch and power indicator are present. No cables are included. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions. Please note: We have multiple units in stock — yours may not be the one shown in the photos, however, it will be similar in condition and function.
