Displaying Configuration Information (WNT/2000/XP)
To display the list of configured MagTek devices, use the following syntax:
mtcfg
To display the settings for a single device, use:
mtcfg COMx
COMx is the name (virtual port) of the device, as set when the device was first
configured. This name is shown in the leftmost column in the list of devices. This
command displays only the common settings for the device
−the ones that are most likely
to require modification. To display all device settings, including all data parsing format
strings, use the following syntax:
mtcfg COM
x –all | more
The pipe symbol and “more” will present the information one screen at a time.

To add a new device use the following command syntax:
mtcfg
port-name model
or
mtcfg

port-name is the name (virtual port) chosen for the new device. It must not be used
by another device in the system (MagTek or other). The port name in the
form COMxxx (valid values are COM5 .. COM255). MTCFG will verify
that the name is not used by other MagTek devices that were set up with
this utility, but it will not check whether the name is used by any other
device in the system.
