Intermec EasyCoder 201 II – Technical Manual

SETTING UP EASYCODER 201 IIS

General Information

The EasyCoder 201 IIS is intended for applications, where the
printing will be controlled from a host computer and very little
action is required by the operator. Accordingly, the printer is only
fitted with a “Print” button, but no keyboard.

The EasyCoder 201 IIS is not delivered with any extra serial
interface boards.

The method of changing the setup depends on whether the printer
is fitted with some kind of startup file, a subject that was more
thoroughly discussed in the chapter “Starting Up” earlier in this
manual, to which the alphabetic references below refer.

A. EasyCoder 201 IIS with Intermec Shell:

• You can change any setup parameter via the Terminal Setup

option in Intermec Shell.

• You can change the LSS setup via the Setup option of Intermec

Shell.

• As an alternative, you can also change the setup by means of a

setup file or setup string, see

SETUP

statement in the Intermec

Fingerprint Reference Manual or in the Intermec Direct Protocol
Programmer's Guide.

C. EasyCoder 201 IIS with no startup file installed:

• An EasyCoder 201 II without any startup file can only be set up

by means of setup files or setup strings, see

SETUP

statement in the

Intermec Fingerprint Reference Manual or in the Intermec Direct
Protocol Programmer's Guide.

D. EasyCoder 201 IIS with a custom-made application program:

• Normally, necessary provisions for changing the setup should be

provided by the program by means of setup files or setup strings,
see

SETUP

statement in the Intermec Fingerprint Reference

Manual or in the Intermec Direct Protocol Programmer's Guide.
