Chapter 6, "Communicating With the JANUS 2050," discusses the different
programs that can be used to communicate with the JANUS 2050 and transfer
data.

COM Port Connector

The COM1 and COM2 interfaces on the COM port are completely separate and
need to be configured separately. The correct cables must be used to attach
Data Communications Equipment (DCE) or Data Terminal Equipment (DTE)
devices to each COM port. For a list of standard connector cables, see "JANUS
2050 Accessories" in Chapter 1.
The scanner port (COM1) and COM2 share the same internal hardware port.
As a result, communications on COM2 and simultaneous use of a scanner or
other device is not supported. For detailed information on configuring the
COM2 port, see "Communications Port, Choosing Scanner or COM2" in
Chapter 10.
