In Fingerprint, "auto" is by default the standard IN and OUT commu-
nication port, that is, the printer will scan all communication channels
for incoming data. To select a specifi c communication port as standard
IN and/or standard OUT port, use an Intermec Fingerprint SETSTDIO
statement (see Intermec Fingerprint v8.xx, Programmer's Reference Manual).
This gives better performance. Note that many application programs, for
example Intermec Shell, contain instructions that select the correct stan-
dard I/O for the application in question. The settings for the selected com-
munication channel will appear in the display window when pressing the
<info> key on the printer's keyboard.
In IPL, all communication channels are always scanned for incoming data
and the fi rmware automatically switches to the same channel for output
too. The settings for the active communication channel will appear in the
display window when pressing the <info> key on the printer's keyboard.
The standard interfaces (RS-232, USB, and Wand) are fi tted directly on
the rear of the CPU board with connectors protruding through slots in the
printer's rear plate. Wand is not supported by IPL.
All optional interface boards, except the EasyLAN boards, are fi tted in a
slot on the printer's standard rear plate and connected to the CPU board
via a fl at cable. If no interface board is fi tted, the slot is closed by two cover
plates.
The EasyLAN boards are fi tted directly to the front of the CPU board and
connected by wire to a connector or antenna. There are provisions for both
the wired EasyLAN connector and the EasyLAN wireless antenna on the
standard rear plate. All rear plates have slots for two interface boards as well
as for the standard interface connectors.
