Changing Printer Modes
Set the Parallel Mode option according to the type of printer or device connected to the parallel port. To
determine the correct mode to use, see the documentation that came with the device.
Setting Parallel Mode to Disabled disables the parallel port and its assigned LPT address, freeing its
interrupt for another device to use.
Changing COM Ports
Serial Port allows you to map the address of the serial port, or to disable the serial port and its assigned
COM address, freeing that interrupt for another device to use.
Enabling the Infrared Sensor
Press and repeat to locate the Infrared Data Port option under the Basic Device
Configuration heading of the system setup program.
1.
Press the down arrow key to highlight Disabled next to Infrared Data Port. 2.
Press the right arrow key to highlight a COM port. 3.
Ensure that the COM port that you highlight is different from the Serial Port COM port.
Press the down arrow key to highlight Fast IR or Slow IR. 4.
Dell recommends that you use Fast IR. If the infrared device cannot communicate with your
computer, turn off the computer and repeat this procedure to change the setting to Slow IR.
