Reading the Current Setup
The printer’s current setup values can be read from the printer’s
display window by browsing through the Setup Mode.
You can list the printer’s current setup values by printing test label
“Setup Info” in the Setup Mode or by using Intermec Shell.
The current setup values can be sent to the host via the standard
serial communication channel using a SETUP WRITE
"uart1:"statement. For more information. see Intermec
Fingerprint v8.3x, Programmer’s Reference Manual (P/N 933-054-
xxx).
Setup Parameters
Serial Communication
The serial communication parameters control the
communication between the printer and the connected computer
or other devices on the serial port "uart1:" and the optional serial
ports "uart2:", "uart3:", "uart4:", and "uart5:". The optional
ports require one or two optional interface boards. The printer’s
firmware detects if an interface board is installed in the printer
and presents additional sets of commu-nication setup menus
depending on type of communication (refer to the overviews in
“Setup Mode” on page 77).
For the serial communication channel "uart1:", the following
parameters can be set. Make sure the printer’s communication
parameters match the setup of the connected device or vice versa.
If the setup of the printer and the setup of the host do not match,
the response from the printer to host will be garbled.

Note: The serial communication parameters have no effect on
parallel or EasyLAN communications., or on the IN and OUT
ports on the optional Serial/Industrial Interface Board.
