5 In the Alias box, type a name for the printer. For exam-
ple, “Warehouse Printer 1” or “Shipping Label Format -
HP4”. This name will appear in the list of printers in the
Printer Setup dialog box.
6 Specify the port to which your printer is physically con-
nected.
• Local: Select a local port. Typically, thermal printers
use a serial (COM port) connection such as COM1 or
COM2. Laser and dot matrix printers typically use a
parallel port (LPT) connection such as LPT1 or a USB
port such as USB001.
• UNC: Enter the full UNC path to print using a shared
network printer.
• TCP/IP: Enter the IP address to print using a shared
Telnet connection.
Note
To function properly, many serial printers need to be physically
connected with a null modem cable or null modem adapter on
a standard RS232 cable.
