Chapter 1 Models and Options
1.1 Identifi cation, cont.
The printhead density can be checked in two ways:
• Inspect the label stuck onto the outer side of the printhead,
which gives information on part number and date of
manufacture. Refer to the EasyCoder 501 Spare Parts
Catalog for part numbers.
• If the printer is working, you can print Test Label #1 in either
the Test Mode (see Chapter 25), in the Setup Mode (see
Appendix 1 or the Installation & Operation Manual).
If the printer is working and possible startup program can be
interrupted, the type of program in the printer can be identifi ed.
Connect printer and computer, open a suitable communication
program, and start up the printer in the immediate mode of Inter-
mec Fingerprint. The instructions FILES "rom:", FILES "ram:"
and FILES "card1:" allows you to check what fi les the various
parts of the printer's memory contains. The statements FONTS and
IMAGES can be used for the same purpose regarding fonts and
images. Use the VERSION$ function to check version of the Inter-
mec Fingerprint fi rmware.
The Intermec Fingerprint utility program PRSETUP.PRG allows
you to view the current setup values on the screen and also to pro-
duce a printout copy. You can also check the setup in the Setup
Mode or Test Mode, or by means of Intermec Shell.
If the printer does not work, you can get some clues from the
labels on the EPROM packages. You may also need to interview
the user.
By now, you should have a fairly good idea what kind of printer
you will be working with. Compare with the list of standard fea-
tures and options on next page.
