Configuring Your Printer With PrintSet
PrintSet is a printer configuration tool that allows you to easily
change your setup parameters. You can also use PrintSet’s setup
wizards to guide you through common configuration tasks.
To configure the printer with PrintSet
1 Make sure that you have a PC running Microsoft Windows 2000
or later.
2 Download PrintSet from the Downloads page of the Intermec web
site at www.intermec.com.
3 Connect your printer to your PC using a serial cable. For help, see
“Connecting the Printer to a PC Through the Serial Port” on
page 58.
Configuring Your Printer With Commands Sent From Your PC
You can change configuration parameters by sending commands
directly to the printer using your terminal program (HyperTerminal)
and a serial or network connection.
If your printer uses the Fingerprint language, you use the SETUP
command, followed by the node, subnode, and parameters setting.
This Fingerprint example sets the media setting to labels with gaps:
SETUP "MEDIA,MEDIA TYPE,LABEL (w GAPS)"
If your printer uses the IPL language, you would send this command:
<STX><SI>T1<ETX>
To see the node, subnode, and parameters for Fingerprint and IPL, see
Appendix C, “Fingerprint and IPL Setup Menus” on page 165.
Fingerprint automatically sends feedback to HyperTerminal as you
type. If you want to see what you are typing with IPL, you need to
perform the following procedure.
Note: You cannot communicate with the printer using PrintSet
through a USB connection. To use PrintSet, you must be connected
serially or through the Ethernet or 802.11 network.
