Parallel Port (on Video Adapter) Check

Use this option to test the operation of an additional parallel
port on a video adapter. To perform the test, you must insert the
special loop-back connector into the parallel port on the video
adapter so that the computer can check individual pins of the
port.
This test is similar to the Parallel Port Check. For more details,
see the description of the Parallel Port (Printer Interface)
Check.

Serial Port (RS-232C Port) Check

Use this option to test the functions of the primary serial
communications (RS-232C) port. To perform the test, you must

that the computer can check individual pins of the port.
Contact your dealer if you need a loop-back connector. Note
that a different connector is required to test the parallel port.
