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.
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.
Windows 98
