Setup
Intermec EasyCoder 301 Direct Protocol 2.0 – Programmer's Guide Ed. 3
The EasyCoder 301 Printer can operate in Immediate Mode or Lay-
out Mode. In Immediate Mode, layouts and variable data fields are
disabled. In Layout Mode, layouts and variable data fields are ena-
bled (see chapter 4.8). The printer default is Immediate Mode.
INPUT ON
INPUT ON sets SYSVAR(18) to 0 and enables the use of layouts
and variable data (Layout Mode).
INPUT OFF
INPUT OFF restores SYSVAR(18) to its value before the INPUT
ON command was received and disables the use of layouts and vari-
able data (Immediate Mode, default).
The printer will receive and transmit data on the standard serial
communication channel "uart1:". If you use parallel communica-
tion, two-way communication will be lost and the printer will not
be able to echo any data back to the host or return any other data. It
is possible to select different channels manually as standard IN and
standard OUT channels, using the SETSTDIO command.
SETSTDIO <IN channel>, <OUT channel>
<IN channel> and <OUT channel> can be individually specified
as:
0

Example:
SETSTDIO 0,1
automatic port switching (Default)
"uart1:" serial communication channel
"centronics:" parallel communication chan-
nel (IN channel only)
