Linx 8900
8 Remote communications
The 8900 printer can use protocols to enable communications with remote devices like
barcode scanners, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and PCs.
The 8900 printer currently supports the following protocols:
• Remote Communications Interface (RCI) protocol—a standard feature on the 8900
printer for communication with RS-232 and Ethernet-compatible devices. This protocol
enables communication with remote devices that allow you to control the printer and to
download messages and data for printing. For example, you can download data into
buffered Remote fields. Refer to the Linx Remote Communications Interface Reference
Manual for more information about the RCI protocol.
NOTE: The RS-232 connector is not fitted as standard on the 8900 printer. The
connector is available as a configuration option.
• Simple Communications Protocol (SCP)—the Linx Simple Communications Protocol
(SCP) is a communications protocol that allows you to control printer functions from a
remote host through the RS-232 port and/or the Ethernet port. Refer to the Linx Simple
Communications Protocol Reference Manual for more information about SCP and how to
configure it.
You can access the Communications option on the Printer Setup screen.
