Connections
Power
1 Place the printer on a level surface, near an AC outlet. You should be
able to access the printer to load supplies and to remove the printout.
2 Check that the printer is switched off.
3 Connect the power cord from the socket on the rear plate to an elec-
trical outlet (90 to 265 VAC).
Computer
The EasyCoder PX6i is fi tted with one 9-pin D-style subminiature
(DB9) socket for the RS-232 serial interface port and one class B connec-
tor for the USB interface port (see Appendix C).
RS-232 Serial Interface ("uart1:")
Use the serial interface with Intermec LabelShop or the Intermec Inter-
Driver. Also use it with the Intermec Direct Protocol or the Intermec
Fingerprint programming language because you can receive error mes-
sages from your printer. Before you can use the serial interface, you may
need to set up the communication parameters, such as baud rate, parity,
etc. as described in Chapter 6, “Setting Up the Printer.”
USB Interface ("usb1:")
Use the USB interface with an USB-compatible version of the Intermec
InterDriver for printing. The USB interface is not suitable for program-
ming because the host cannot receive error messages from your printer.
Optional Interface and Network Boards
("uart2:", "uart3:", "uart4:", "uart5:", "centronics:", and "net1:")
Several types are available (see Chapter 9, “Options”). Refer to Chapter
6, Chapter 7, and Appendix C for connection and setup instructions.
The printer can be set to scan all communication ports. When it detects
incoming data on a port, the printer automatically switches to use that
port for both input and output. This facility ("auto") can be selected in
Intermec Shell (see Chapter 8) or using the Intermec Fingerprint instruc-
tion SETSTDIO, see Intermec Fingerprint v8.3x, Programmer’s Reference
Manual. Use the <F5/i> key to get information on the active communi-
cation channels.
Switch off both PC and printer before connecting them together.
