Communication Cable Setup
There are three types of serial connection points depending on the hardware included with
the motherboard. The three connection types are as follows:
•
Motherboard RS232 COM1 or COM2 port.
•
Motherboard USB port.
•
Serial communication board (
p/n BK-COMM
) COM port.
The connection should be made to the first available connection according to the order of
the list above. Once the physical connection is made, Compose IQ inkjet control software
will have to “know” where the connection has been made by identifying the port used. In
addition, the Windows device manager will have to be configured to define the COM port.
