Re: Com1 port problem.

I am having problems sending data to a printer using the Com1 port.
Com1 is displayed in device manager and appears to be working fine but
for some reason the printer is not receiving any data.

Scenario:-
We have a Zebra Z4Mplus printer plugged in the serial port on the back
of the machine.
We use a program that monitors a folder on the machine. When a file
with the .LAB extension is put in the folder the application sends the
data contained in the LAB file directly to the Com1 port.

I have tried plugging the printer into the printer port and using the
"Copy test.lab lpt1" command in dos prompt which works fine but it
just will not do anything when plugged into the serial port. I have
tried the command using com1, "Copy test.lab com1".

Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advanced.

Tom.

Are you sure that the serial port you are plugged into is COM1 could it
be COM3 or something else?

I only have Com1 displayed in Device Manager and I only have one
serial port on the back of the base unit. Is it still possible I
could be using a different com port?
