SmoothStepper - Ethernet
Ethernet to Triple Parallel Port (LPT) Adaptor
Many modern PCs no longer include a Parallel Port (also known as an LPT port, or Printer Port).
Smooth Stepper is the solution for those who want to use Mach3/4 on a PC without a Printer Port.
Now you can use Mach3/4 to run your CNC machine from almost any PC – including a laptop!
DashX is the authorized Canadian distributor of Warp9's Smooth Stepper. We ship anywhere in Canada and Worldwide!
We also offer all the accessories you need to get up and running, with a new SmoothStepper, right out of the box!
Specifications:
- 1 Ethernet Connection provides complete control of all ports
- 3 Full Parallel Ports
- Output/Input Configurations:
- Port 1: 12 Outputs and 5 Inputs
- Port 2: 12 Outputs and 5 Inputs
OR 4 Outputs and 13 Inputs - Port 3: 12 Outputs and 5 Inputs

- Noise immunity is excellent and is recommended for noisy environments such as found in plasma systems.
- Dedicated hardware produces pulse streams up to 80 times faster, and with more precise timing than Mach3 using a legacy printer port
