Enabling/Disabling Intermec Direct Protocol; Selecting Standard I/O Channel - Intermec EasyCoder 501XP Programmer's Reference Manual

Chapter 6 — Setting Up the Printer

6.1 Enabling/Disabling Intermec Direct Protocol

Unless you use Intermec Shell to select the Intermec Direct Protocol,
you must issue this instruction to switch from the Intermec Fingerprint
Immediate Mode to the Intermec Direct Protocol:
INPUT ON
When you start the Intermec Direct Protocol, you enable the reception
of data to a layout, start up the error handler and sets the verbosity to off.
The message "Direct Protocol 7.80" appears in the printer's display.
To return from the Intermec Direct Protocol to the Immediate Mode,
use this instruction:
INPUT OFF
Reception of data to layouts are disabled, the error-handler is turned
off and the verbosity is reset to the level selected before last
INPUT ON
instruction was executed. The message "Fingerprint 7.80" appears in the
display.
6.2 Selecting Standard IN/OUT Channel
By default, the printer will receive and transmit data on the standard
serial communication channel "uart1:". You can select another serial or
parallel communication channel as standard IN/OUT channel by means
of a instruction. Note that in case of parallel communica-
SETSTDIO
tion, the two-way communication will be lost and the printer will not be
able to echo any data back to the host or returning any other data. It is
possible to select different channels as standard IN and standard OUT
channels.
SETSTDIO <IN channel>, <OUT channel>
<IN channel> and <OUT channel> can be individually specifi ed:
1 = "uart1:" serial communication channel (default)
2 = "uart2:" serial communication channel (optional board)
3 = "uart3:" serial communication channel (optional board)
4 = "centronics:" parallel communication channel (optional board in EasyCoder F-series, std in Easy-
Coder XP-series)
5 = "net1:" Ethernet communication channel (optional board)
6 = "usb1:" USB serial communication channel (EasyCoder F-series only, standard)
Example:
SETSTDIO 2,2 ↵
