You should be able to use a USB to Parallel adapter.

Dear Milo,
yes i can use usb to parllel but what about parellel adaptor ?
please see the bellow note it is in software reload instructions.


CAUTION:
Before starting the Download, ensure that the parallel port adapter tool is connected and the parallel and serial
cables are properly connected to the PWS and PWB.


can you explain this there is also tool part# availbe in installation instructions notes.

Procedure
CAUTION
The parallel cable must be connected or PWB failure can occur
during the download.
1. Connect the parallel and serial cables between the PWS and the
machine. The Parallel Port Adapter Tool (600T2262) must be
connected between the Parallel cable and the PWS or System
PWB failures will occur.
2. Plug the PWS into an AC power source to prevent a loss of
battery power during the software download.

As far as i know the "parallel adapter tool" is the parallel cable. It may be talking about a USB to parallel interface because many xerox PWSs don't have parallel ports anymore. You can pick up a USB to parallel cable and driver disk from Radio Shack or any other electronics store...ie Fry's electronics.
I haven't used the USB to parallel but have used the USB to serial, my laptop has a parallel port on the back.

you can see in my post there is clearly mentioned '' The Parallel Port Adapter Tool (600T2262) must be
connected between the Parallel cable and the PWS or System
PWB failures will occur''


i have both ports serial and parllel in my dell610 laptop but confused now after read above instructions.

[Milo Wilson]

There isn't any adapter. Just use the parallel cable.

Just plug those cables into laptop and machine. Xerox likes to give their names to common stuff.
