Computer
The Easycoder PM4i is fitted with one 9-pin D-style
subminiature (DB9) socket for the RS-232 serial interface port
and one class B connector for the USB interface port (
For help,
see “Interfaces” on page 139. ).
RS-232 Serial Interface ("uart1:")
Use the serial interface with Intermec LabelShop or the Intermec
InterDriver. Also use it with the Intermec Direct Protocol or the
Intermec Fingerprint programming language because you can
receive error messagesn from your printer. Before you can use the
serial interface, you may need to set up the communication
parameters, such as baud rate, parity, etc. as described in
“Setting
Up the Printer” on page 51 .
USB Interface ("usb1:")
Use the USB interface with an USB-compatible version of the
Intermec InterDriver for printing. The USB interface is not
suitable for programming because the host cannot receive error
messages from your printer.
Optional Interface and Network Boards("uart2:", "uart3:",
"uart4:", "uart5:", "centronics:", and "net1:")
Several types are available (see “Options” on page 83 ). Refer to
Chapter 6, Chapter 7, and Appendix C for connection and setup
instructions.
