SECTION 2: COMMUNICATIONS PORTS AND DIAGNOSTIC INTERFACES

•
Both the green and red IPDS LEDs will alternately flash when a firmware update
is being downloaded to the IPDS interpreter.
•
Both the green and red IPDS LEDs will alternately flash when ASCII data is
printing. The IntelliBar AS Net printer is fully compatible with all ASCII printing
environments.
2.2.3 Label Gap Sensor Indicator.
A single red label gap (the gap is the space between die cut labels) sensor LED status
indicator is located behind the controller mounting bracket to the right of the DIP
switches. The gap sensor LED indicates the status of the label gap sensor. If the label
gap sensor is properly adjusted, the label gap sensor LED will flash when a label gap
passes through the gap sensor array. If the sensor is not adjusted properly the label gap
sensor cannot sense the gap and the LED will either not light (the sensor is under
adjusted) or will stay on constantly (the sensor is over adjusted).
2.3 DIAGNOSTIC DIP SWITCHES
IntelliBar AS Net printers feature a bank of four DIP switches located directly above the
RJ45 Ethernet socket. The switches are mounted in a vertical array and are numbered 1
through 4 in ascending order. When a DIP switch is toggled to the left, it is in the OFF
position and when toggled to the right, it is in the ON position.
The switches are used to configure the printer for the following diagnostic functions to:
•
print a self test label that shows the printer IPDS and network settings
•
set the printer to output EBCDIC hex dump
•
reset the printer to IPDS and print server factory default settings
•
enable IPDS printing on the parallel port
See Section 5.1.3 for DIP switch setting details.
Note: The IntelliBar AS Net IPDS configuration can also be set via a
browser or via data stream commands. See Section 5 for details.
