Communications Port, Choosing Scanner or COM2
Purpose: The scanner and COM2 share the same internal hardware port, as a result,
scanner port usage and host port COM2 usage are mutually exclusive. The
JANUS 2050 will be undamaged, but neither port will function with the other
connected.
The scanner port is a Fischer connector on the back of the JANUS 2050. You
should scan commands to configure COM2 before enabling COM2.
Note: To set serial communications parameters (such as baud rate and parity) for
COM2, you must use off-the-shelf software. For example, you can execute the Mode
command from the DOS prompt, or an application using COM2 can execute standard
DOS commands. You cannot set serial communications parameters for COM2 with
IC.EXE. Also, you cannot scan configuration commands because you have disabled the
scanner port.
Default: Scanner
Syntax: IXdata
Acceptable values for data are:
0 for scanner
1 for COM2
