To change the default settings for the printer, you can place any of these
commands in an AUTOEXEC.BAT file. For help, see “Batch Files” in
Chapter 14.
Units Commands
Purpose: The Units commands specify a measurement system for all subsequent
command fields in a utility session. You can enter coordinates, widths, and
heights for all utility commands with precision to four decimal places. The
printer measurement system defaults to dots until a units command is
issued.
Format:
<!> <UTILITIES>
{ command }
<PRINT>
where:
{command}: Choose from the following:
IN-INCHES Measurement in inches.
IN-CENTIMETERS Measurement in centimeters.
IN-MILLIMETERS Measurement in millimeters.
IN-DOTS Measurement in dots. The default
unit of measurement is in dots.
SETLP Command
Purpose: Selecting the line printer font (the SETLP command) changes the font the
printer uses for Line Print mode. It also chooses the amount of space the
printer moves down when the printer receives a carriage return (hex value
0x0d).
Format:
! U1 SETLP { font name or number } { size } { unit height }
SETLP allows you to use either the resident fonts or pre-scaled fonts
downloaded to the flash memory. The Intermec PLUS design software can
create and upload a font for the printer from any available TrueType

font. Appendix D, “Font Information,” contains a table of all resident font
heights and their proper unit height.
