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.
