16.1 Introduction
Intermec EasyCoder 601 XP – Service Manual Ed. 2
The printer is fitted with a number of interfaces:
• Operator interface consisting of the display, the keyboard and
the beeper, see chapter 2.
• Cutter Interface for connection of an optional paper cutter, see
chapter 11.
• Bar Code Wand interface for connection of an EasySet bar code
wand, see chapter 15.4.
• Memory Card interface for connection of a memory card, see
chapter 15.4.
• Electronic Key interface for connection of one or two electronic
keys, see chapter 15.4.
• RS 232C Serial Communication interface ("uart1:") for com-
munication with the host computer, or for connection of a bar
code reader, an external keyboard etc., see chapter 16.2.
• Parallel Communication interface ("centronics:") for parallel
one-way communication with the host computer, see chapter
16.3.
• Optional industrial interface board, see chapter 16.4.
The rest of this chapter will only deal with the three last paragraphs.
By default, "uart1:" is the standard IN and OUT communication
port. To select another communication port as standard IN and/or
standard OUT port, use an Intermec Fingerprint SETSTDIO state-
ment (see Intermec Fingerprint 7.12 Reference Manual). Note that
many application programs, e.g. Intermec Shell, contains instruc-
tions that select the correct std I/O for the application in question.
