Line Analyzer

Intermec EasyCoder 501 E – Installation & Operation Ed. 1
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 specified 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 terminated and prints out a label.
As long as a continuous string of characters is being received,
the program 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_ALY.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:
Line Analyzer
Sel.port(1-4) 1
Enter the desired communication port using the numeric keys on
the printer's keyboard:
1 = "uart1:"
2 = "uart2:"
3 = "uart3:"
4 = "centronics"
If the printer is not fi tted with the specifi ed port, an error message
appears in the display and you can select another port:
