Mobile Printer CPCLProgramming Manual P10-41

does not use the BHT or BHT-IR protocol. In this
default (‘raw”) mode, any Zebra mobile printer utility
for reprogramming, adding or deleting files will be in
effect.
• If the printer has been configured to include the BHT
or BHT-IR protocol with the serial cable the following
procedure may be used to force the printer to com-
municate “raw” (i.e. using no protocol) for the pur-
poses of reprogramming, or the adding or deleting of
files.
1. Connect the printer to a host terminal loaded
with the desired communications software.
2. Turn the printer on by starting the terminal’s
communications program.
3. Turn the printer off, then, while holding the
“Feed” key down, turn the printer back on.
4. The printer will print a status report. When the
printout is complete, the communications protocol
will be in the “raw” mode.
(Refer to the BHT-MODE Commands examples at the
end of this section.)
Configuring the BHT for IR transmission
The BHT must also be configured correctly to communi-
cate with Zebra mobile printers using the BHT or BHT-IR
protocol. All parameters that must be set are found in the
BHT Set System → Communication menu area. The
following notes apply:
• The pulse width for optical communications must be
set to 1.63µS.
• The protocol is set to match the protocol in the
printer. Default for the printer is BHT-IR unless
