Serial Port. The printer outputs the bar code analysis and
underlying data from the validator to a device connected to
the serial port, so the validator data can be seen and
analyzed with the optional remote management software.

Network Port. The printer outputs the bar code analysis
and underlying data from the validator to a device
connected to the network port so the validator data can be
seen and analyzed with the optional remote management
software.
