Peripherals
Depending on the ports available on the terminal (see “Model Summary”), the terminal can
provide services through a USB port, the serial port, or a PCMCIA card plugged-in to the
back of the terminal, as long as the appropriate software is installed. Factory-installed
software is described in the following subparagraphs. Add-ons for other services, as they
become available, may be installed using the Rapport Remote Administrative software
(discussed in “Remote Administration and Firmware Upgrades”).

through a USB to serial converter cable.
Note
Only up to two USB to serial converters may be used at one time.
1. Connect a printer or other device to the serial port of the converter cable. Do not
connect the USB end of the converter cable to the terminal at this time.
2. Open the Device Manager window (Control Panel | System | Hardware Tab | Device
Manager).
3. A Ports (COM & LPT) listing may or may not be present, depending on the terminal
model and whether a device driver was previously installed to a port. If the listing is
present, expand it so that ports presently used are displayed.

4. Plug the USB end of the converter cable into the terminal.
5. The Ports (COM & LPT) listing will appear if not already present. Under the Ports
(COM & LPT) listing, a new COM port will appear for the new connection. Note which
COM port number is assigned to the new connection.

Printers
A universal print driver is installed on the terminal to support text-only printing to a
locally-connected printer. To print full text and graphics to a locally connected printer,
install the driver provided by the manufacturer and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Be sure to flush the write filter cache to save the installation. Printing to network printers
from ICA and RDP applications can be achieved through print drivers on the servers.

Note
Printing to a locally-connected printer from an ICA or RDP session using the
server’s print drivers produces full text and graphics functionality from the
printer. To do this, you must have the print driver installed on the server and
the text only driver installed on the terminal (see “Adding Printers - Using the
Generic Text Only Print Driver”).
