Configuring Serial Port Number Assignments
This section described how the NCR USB solution assigns serial port numbers (e.g.,
COMx) 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.
Serial Port Configuration Methods
Automatic (Default). When the printer is plugged into the USB port of the host and the
drivers are loaded, the printer will default to the next available serial port number. In
many cases this is exactly what is desired. You can check the assigned serial port by
clicking the General tab in the Edgeport utility. You’ll see an entry for the NCR printer.
Expand the list to see which serial port has been assigned to the printer.
Assigning a serial port to the printer. If the default assignment does not meet the
requirements of the installation, you can assign a different serial port to the printer.
From the General tab of the Edgeport utility, select the printer and press Configure.
Follow the directions on the resulting form to assign a new port to the printer.
