Feature Description
Parallel Port The parallel printer port (LPT1) is a DB-25 pin female connector. This port provides a
standard PC compatible printer interface. An external push-button reset option is avail-
able. Consult the CPU board manual for the jumper which controls this option.
COM Ports COM1 is RS-232/485 compatible. RS/232 is connected to the lower nine-pin stacked
DB connector. The top part of this stack is the RS/485 version of the same port. Since
these connectors are attached to the same port, you can use only one at a time. COM2
is the male 25-pin DB connector. COM2 is dedicated to the IR port, the touch screen
controller, or the 25-pin connector. Only one option can be used at a time.
Note: If you ordered Windows NT, the driver is on disk and a copy of the driver file is
on the hard drive. This operating system only supports COM2. Therefore, the touch
screen will be on COM2, and COM2 will not be available for other use.
Keyboard Port The keyboard port is a PS/2 stacked mini-din that allows you to attach a PC/AT key-
board either at the front or side of the unit. The keyboard port on the side of the unit is
the lower connector. Do not use when in the presence of a hazardous environment.
Note: You cannot use both keyboard ports on the 9460KP/9462KP at the same time.
Mouse Port The mouse port is a PS/2 stacked mini-din that allows you to attach a mouse at the
side of the unit. If you receive a unit with a touch screen, this port may be covered with
a label stating that the port is not functional as shipped. This is dependent upon the
operating system installed.
Note: If the unit has a touch screen and MS-DOS, Windows 3.x or Windows 95, the
touch screen is configured for the mouse port, making the mouse port unavailable. Re-
configure the touch screen for use on COM2 to make mouse port functional.
Warning: To maintain a safe condition, do not use an external keyboard and/or
mouse port when the unit is operating in a hazardous environment.
