When you set up a circulation printer, you first connect it to a workstation port. If you use a serial port, you must configure the port. Then you set up Horizon to recognize and control the printer. (For instructions on Horizon printer settings, see Using Workstation Receipts.)
To configure a serial port for circulation slip printing
1 | Access the port settings window for the serial port you want to set up. |
(For example, in Windows 2000, you access ports in the Device Manager area on the Hardware tab in the System Properties section of the Control Panel.)
2 | Use this table as a guide in setting port options: |
