Text in Images

Text in Images is used when a serial port is being used to

accept incoming data from, for example, a POS till or ATM

machine.

This page specifies the maximum line length of the data and

the number of lines of data stored with each image. 80

characters per line is generally a full screen width, thus this is the default value. Trial and

Error can be used to discover the best value for individual applications.

Specifying which communication port(s) will store data are specified in

the \ETC\PATHS.ini file. This can be edited using a text editor. To access files on the DV-

IP, FTP software should be used. The file can then be edited on a local PC and uploaded back

to the unit. When files are edited in this way, a system reset is recommended to make the

changes active.
