How to Configure the Printer with Programming Commands
You can change configuration settings by sending programming
commands directly from your PC to the printer through a terminal
program (such as HyperTerminal), a serial connection, or a network
connection.
If your printer uses the Fingerprint programming language, use the
SETUP GET command followed by the node, subnode, and parameter
setting. For example, here is a Fingerprint example that changes your
media setting to labels with gaps:
SETUP GET “MEDIA,MEDIA TYPE,LABEL (W GAPS)”
You must log in as an itadmin to perform a SET operation, but you do
not need to log in to perform a GET operation.
If your printer uses the IPL programming language, this example
changes your media setting to labels with gaps:
<STX><SI>T1<ETX>
For more information on how to change configuration settings with a
programming language, see either the
Intermec Fingerprint
Command Reference Manual or the IPL Command Reference
Manual .
How to Configure the Printer with SmartSystems
You can use SmartSystems to change configuration settings on your
printer. The printer ships with the SmartSystems client loaded on it.
The console is part of SmartSystems and is available from the Intermec
website. To download SmartSystems, go to
www.intermec.com/
products/smrtsysfoundation/index.aspx .
Configure the Printer with Touchless Configuration
You can use touchless configuration to configure a printer without
turning it on or while it is in the box. If you have the touchless
configuration option installed in your printer, an RFID tag receives
and stores data from an external IP30 RFID reader and configures the
settings when the printer is turned on. The air protocol supported is
EPCGlobal Class 1 Gen 2. The available programmable memory is 384
bytes of USER memory bank.
