Port

The physical connection between the printer and the

preprocessing/postprocessing device.

 

 

 

 

 

Enabled

Enables a device for a port. If a device is already enabled

Yes or No

 

for a speci®c port number when you select a device that

 

 

 

is also con®gured for that port number, the Yes is grayed

 

 

 

out so that you cannot attempt to enable a second device

 

 

 

for the same port.

 

 

 

An error window appears when the restart procedure to

Post) adaptor installed than the device type you are
