NOTE: This section is applicable only if you have parallel ports
installed.
By responding to the Enter Request: message at the end of the main
configuration menu (see
Section 6.1
) with "3" (Change Parallel Port
Designation), you may change the designation of a selected parallel
port to be an input or output. The Model 24H will respond with:
Enter Parallel Port Number (? = Help, ENTER = Exit) :
Type the number of the desired parallel port followed by <ENTER>. If
you type "?", the Model 24H will respond with a menu showing the
current configuration status of all parallel ports. If a character is
entered that is not a parallel port number, the Model 24H will respond
with a prompt to type a parallel port.
For example, if you type "12" and <ENTER>, the Model 24H will
respond with the current status of Port 12 and a menu of the available
options.

Change to Input or Output Port ? (I/O) :
The Model 24H gives you the choice of Input or Output for the
designated parallel port. Type "I" to designate the selected parallel port
as an input port or "O" to designate the selected parallel port as an
output port. If you designate the selected parallel port as an input port,
data will flow from the parallel peripheral device to the host device only.
If you designate the selected parallel port as an output port, data will
flow from the host device to the parallel peripheral only when the host
device selects the parallel peripheral port.
