Linx 8900 Operating Manual —
Printer communications
Linx 8900
Select the European 6200 option for compatibility with the 6200 printer. This option
contains the characters used by the 6200 printer that are not in the standard European
option.
Select the required options, and then touch the Exit button to return to the Edit Connection:
RCI over Ethernet screen.
Checksum
The 8900 printer uses checksums by default. To disable checksums, set this option to
Disabled.
If checksums are disabled, the printer does not look for checksums at the end of received
data, and the accuracy of transferred data is not checked. The data can become damaged
and can cause problems in the printer and the remote host.
8.1.4 Configure Network Settings
The Network Settings options allow you to configure the parameters for Ethernet
communications over a network. The Network Settings options can be accessed from the
Printer Setup screen. See ‘Communications’ on page 50 for more information.
8.1.5 SCP setup
Refer to the Linx Simple Communications Protocol Reference Manual for information about how
to configure the ‘RS232’, ‘Any Ethernet’, and ‘Scanner’ SCP connections for remote
communications with the 8900 printer. The interface is identical to that used on the CJ400
printer.
Mistake-free data entry
You can use the ‘Scanner’ RS-232 connection on the SCP Connections screen to set up
mistake-free data entry for messages. You can use the USB connection to connect a scanner
to the printer. For example, you can scan a barcode on a job sheet to populate fields in a
message and configure message settings. The ‘Scanner’ SCP connection is configured in the
same way as other SCP connections. Refer to the Linx Simple Communications Protocol
Reference Manual for more information about how to configure this functionality.
