Changing Configuration Settings From PrintSet
PrintSet Version 4.2 (or higher) is a printer configuration tool that
you can download from the Intermec web site. PrintSet can
communicate with your printer through a serial cable or a network
connection. It works on all PCs running Windows 98 (or later).
PrintSet allows you to easily change all of the setup parameters. It also
includes setup wizards to guide you through some common
configuration tasks.
Changing Configuration Settings Using the Command
Line
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.
Here is a Fingerprint example that sets your 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>
Fingerprint automatically sends feedback to HyperTerminal as you
type. If you want to see what you are typing with IPL, you need to
complete the following procedure.
To see IPL commands as you type
1 From the HyperTerminal menu, select File > Properties > the
Settings tab.
2 Click the ASCII Setup button.
3 Select Echo typed characters locally.
4 Click OK twice.
For more information on how to change configuration settings, see
either the Fingerprint Command Reference Manual (P/N 937-005-xxx) or
the IPL Command Reference Manual (P/N 937-007-xxx). You can
download both documents from the Intermec web site at
