The project you run on a printer may require inputs from peripherals such as a barcode scanner on printer port 1 and weight scale on printer port 2.

Therefore, when you simulate your project in 123 Print, you will want to emulate the input these peripherals give or connect directly to the given peripheral to receive its input on your development PC. (See Chapter 6

– Simulating Your Project).

This Simulation setup lets you define the source—emulation or peripheral connection to a port on your PC—of these inputs for your simulation.

Assign Com 1 Printer Port To

ƒThis option lets you indicate from where the simulator should fetch the port 1 input in simulation. This is to simulate what the final project will receive from printer port 1 when the project is running on a printer.

ƒIf this is a barcode scanner, you can choose to emulate the scanner input, or you can connect the scanner to any port on your PC. Indicate the port to which the barcode scanner will actually be connected on your PC. The 123 Print simulator will map this port as port 1 input.

2Select the desired option for printer port 1 simulation. The com 1 simulation setting options are as shown below
