Most serial devices will work on any COM setting.
However, infrared devices communicate in one of several modes.
Make sure that the mode you choose for Infrared Mode Setting is
supported by the device. Fast IR, as the name implies, is the most
powerful option followed by IrDA (HPSIR) and then ASK (IR). If
you are connecting to the (optional) docking station, choose Se-
rial to use the 2nd serial port on that device.

There are several modes available:
Standard AT (Centronics)
Bidirectional (PS-2)
Enhanced Parallel (EPP version 1.7 or 1.9)
Extended Capabilities (ECP)
You should check your parallel devices documentation to see which
one it can use. Most devices on the market use Standard mode.
If you dont plan to use this port, you can set it to None to con-
serve power.
