Chapter 5 — Setting up the Printer

Changing Configuration Settings
The complete list of setup options can be found in Appendix C.
Depending on the communication method you use with your
printer, you can set configuration settings with different
methods.
Using PrintSet 4
The recommended way to set your printer’s configuration is to
use the included PrintSet 4 program. PrintSet 4 can
communicate with your printer either via a serial cable or a
network connection. You will find PrintSet 4 on the Printer
Companion CD, and on the Intermec website. This printer
configuration program works on Windows (2000 and XP)
computers, and allows you to easily change all of the setup
parameters. It also includes setup wizards, which guide you
through common configuration tasks.
Using the Printer’s Home Page
If you have a network option and the printer is available on the
network, you can browse to the printer’s home page: Just enter
the printer’s IP number in your browser’s adress field. There you
can enter the configuration page and change the settings. You
will need the printer’s administrator username and password.
Using the Command Line
You can change setup parameters by sending Fingerprint
commands directly through your terminal program (either
through serial or network connection). The Fingerprint
command to use is
SETUP, and should be followed by the node
and its values you want to set. For example:
SETUP “MEDIA,MEDIA TYPE,LABEL (w GAPS)”
The SETUP is used to both write and read setup parameters. It
can also be used with setup files in which all configuration
parameters are set. For more information on how to use the
SETUP command, see the Fingerprint v10.X.X Programmer’s
Reference Manual.
