Line Analyzer
The Line Analyzer (LINE_AXP.PRG) is a program written in the
Intermec Fingerprint programming language and is intended to help
solving possible communication problems. As the name implies, the Line
Analyzer captures all incoming characters on a specifi ed communication
channel and prints them on one or more labels.
Printable characters are printed in black-on-white, whereas control
characters and space characters (ASCII 000–032 dec) are printed in
white-on-black.
While the printer is receiving data, the “Ready” control lamp blinks.
There is a 0.5 second timeout. That is, if no more characters have been
received after 0.5 second, the program considers the transmission termi-
nated and prints out a label.
As long as a continuous string of characters is being received, the pro-
gram wraps the lines until the label is full and then starts to print another
label. At the bottom of each label, the following information is printed:
• Page number
• Number of characters printed on the label
• Total number of characters received so far
The Line Analyzer is displayed as the option “LINE_AXP.PRG" under
the “SEL. APPLICATION” menu. After the Line Analyzer has been
selected and the printer has started up again, the printer feeds out two
labels and the following menu is displayed:
