programs

wireless EasyLAN connections, parallel interface, double serial inter-
faces, and serial/industrial interfaces

A large number of factory-installed or fi eld-installable options are avail-

The EasyCoder PX6i supports the unique and fl exible Intermec Finger-
print v8.30 programming language, which allows the user or third-party
developer to create custom-made application programs and label formats
in a BASIC-like environment.
The printer is also designed to work with the Intermec Direct Protocol
programming language, the Intermec InterDriver, and Intermec Label-
Shop. The InterDriver allows you to print labels from standard MS
Windows applications, for example Microsoft Offi ce. Intermec Label-
Shop is a series of label-design programs that work under various versions
of MS Windows.
The EasyCoder PX6i supports 15 scalable Unicode TrueType and
TrueDoc fonts as standard. Additional fonts can be downloaded into the
printer’s Flash memory, or be plugged in using a CompactFlash card.
The Unicode standard allows the use of special characters for various
languages including non-Latin fonts, such as Arabic, Cyrillic, Chinese,
Japanese, Korean, Hebrew, and similar.
A version of EasyCoder PX6i, that supports the Intermec Programming
Language (IPL) v2.30, is described in a special User’s Guide.
