Changing Configuration Settings Using the Command Line

PrintSet Version 4.2 (or later) is a printer configuration tool that you
can download from the Intermec website and install on a host PC.
PrintSet communicates with your printer through a serial cable or a
network connection on any PC with Windows 98 (or later). PrintSet
allows you to easily change all of the setup parameters. It also includes
setup wizards to guide you through some common configuration
tasks. For more help using PrintSet, see the online help.
You can change configuration parameters by sending commands
directly to the printer using a communications program like
HyperTerminal and a serial or network connection.
If your printer uses the Fingerprint language, use the SETUP
command, followed by the node, subnode, and parameters setting.
Here is a Fingerprint example that sets your media setting to labels
with gaps:
SETUP "MEDIA,MEDIA TYPE,LABEL (w GAPS)"
If your printer uses the IPL language, send the following command:
<STX><SI>T1<ETX>
Fingerprint automatically sends feedback to the communications
program as you type. If you want to see what you are typing with IPL,
you need to complete the following procedure.
To see IPL commands as you type
1 From the HyperTerminal menu, select File > Properties > the
Settings tab.
2 Click the ASCII Setup button.
3 Select Echo typed characters locally.
4 Click OK twice.

Manual. You can download these documents from the
