Assign Com 2 Printer Port To

ƒThis option is identical to the Assign Com 1 option. This option simply lets you simulate a peripheral, such as a weight scale, that would normally be connected to port 2 on the printer.

Assign Internal Printer Port To

ƒThis option allows you to simulate label printing when you are running your project in simulation.

ƒYou can emulate the label print or send the label as output to a port on your development PC.

ƒThe output may be sent to a serial com port, an LPT (parallel) port, or to a file. Sending the output to a file is useful if you want to see the DPL code your project is using to print labels on your printer.

The internal printer port simulation options are as shown below
