You can use a serial connection to communicate with your PC and to
run PrintSet or InterDriver. You can also use the serial port to send
commands directly to the printer through a terminal connection.
1 Connect one end of the DB9 to DB9 RS-232 cable to the back of
your printer and connect the other end of the cable to a serial COM
port on the PC.
2 If necessary, change the PC serial port configuration to match your
printer.
Intermec recommends that you only connect one printer to your PC,
either directly or through a hub. You do not need to set up any
parameters for USB communications.
1 Download and install the InterDriver software on your PC.
2 Connect one end of the USB Type A cable to the back of the printer
and connect the other end to your PC.
If you want to use a parallel port on the printer, you can choose to have
the IEEE 1284 parallel port installed either at the factory or by an
authorized Intermec service technician. You can use the parallel port
with InterDriver. The parallel port supports Universal Plug and Play
(UPnP), compatibility, nibble, byte, ECP, and additional status
reporting through IEEE 1284 nibble ID mode.
If you are using a parallel port to communicate with the printer, you
need:
• an IEEE 1284 interface adapter installed in the printer.
• a parallel cable to run between the printer and the PC.
