Comport Pin Assignment Table
Following the below procedures to setup comports.
a.
Go to F16 or F17.
•
F16 is used to set Comport 1.
•
F17 is used to set Comport 2.
b.
Press
[FUNC/SET]
or
[MR/UNIT]
to shift among parameters Off, PC, Scanner (Comport 1 only), CMD
(Comport 2 only), Auto1, Auto 2, Auto 3 and Manual.
Notes: -
•
Off = Comport disable. Select this when a particular comport is not used.
•
PC & CMD is data string related modes.
•
Auto 1, Auto 2, Auto 3 and Manual are print related modes.
•
All working modes (except Off, LP50 and TSC) of Comport 1 accept scanner data input during
operation.
•
All working modes (except Off, LP50 and TSC) of Comport 2 accept and responses to System
Parameter Inquiry and also System Parameter Setting commands during operation.
•
When both ports are set to data string related modes,
[PRINT/M+]
key is used as M+ (memory
accumulation) and can only be activated when value is stable and ≥ 20d.
•
If both comports are set to print related mode (e.g. comport 1 is set to Auto 1, comport 2 is set
to Auto 2) and at the same time Auto memory accumulation is selected by both modes, then
Auto memory accumulation serves only comport 1.
c.
Select the preferred output type parameters then press
[PRINT/M+]
to save.
d.
At this point: -
