Chapter 6 Setting Up the Printer

cont'd.
Setup files
Two commands are used to set a printer up from a setup file:
SETUP
WRITE
and
SETUP
.
Use a setup string (as described above) to set up the printer. Then
use the
SETUP WRITE
command to save the current printer setup
to a file.
SETUP WRITE "<filename>"
<filename>
the full name of the setup file, including stor-
age area, enclosed by double quotation
marks.
You can then select the stored setup file, using the
SETUP
com-
mand.
SETUP "<filename>"
<filename>
the full name of the setup file, including stor-
age area, enclosed by double quotation
marks.
Examples:
SETUP WRITE "setup1"
↵
SETUP "setup3"
↵
Bar Code Wand
Setting up the printer with the Bar Code Wand does not involve
using Intermec Direct Protocol.
See the EasyCoder 301 Installation and Operation manual for de-
tails on using the Bar Code Wand to set up the printer.
The sensitivity of the LSS ( Label Stop Sensor) can be manually
adjusted to detect gaps or black marks properly. Another way to do
this is to issue a
TESTFEED
instruction, but that involves feeding
out labels, which may be undesired in some cases.
The detection range is 0 –31. Increase the value to make the LSS
more sensitive and vice versa. The present threshold value will be
returned on the serial channel using the instruction
PRINT SYSVAR
(8)
, also see chapter 7.6.
SYSVAR (8) = <threshold value>
<threshold value>
is an integer in the range of 0–31.
