Configuring Serial Port Number Assignments
This section described how the NCR USB solution assigns serial port
numbers (e.g., COM x ) to the printer. The information that determines
the assigned port number is stored in the host computer and not in the
printer. This assignment is made in one of three ways. The first
method is the default method that automatically assigns a serial port
number to the printer. The other two methods require the user to
specify a port number. These methods are described more fully in
“Serial Port Configuration Methods” on the following page.
Running the Edgeport Utility
You’ll need to run the Edgeport utility to check which serial port has
been assigned to the printer. This utility queries and configures the
operating system and driver for the information regarding the virtual
serial port.
