- This board is perfect for parallel ports that work at 3.3v and/or deliver a lower amperage signal because it boosts the output signals to 5v at 24mA.

The LPT Buffer board can be used for supplying opto-isolated boards that require a 5v supply. This reduces the load on the parallel port because you only need a low input signal current to control this board.
You need to supply the LPT buffer using a 5V USB port from the PC.
Supply TB1 with a 5V from your USB port.
It is now possible to use a laptop PC as a cnc machine controller.
Note: some laptop PC's may not work with Mach 3 Software.
