Programming Applications for the printer
The printer includes Honeywell Fingerprint, a programming language that
resides on the printer. Fingerprint is an easy-to-use programming tool for label
formatting and printer customization.
Fingerprint also includes a slave protocol, Honeywell Direct Protocol, which
allows layouts and variable data to be downloaded from a host and combine
into labels, tickets, and tags with a minimum of programming. Honeywell Direct
Protocol also includes a versatile error handler and a flexible counter function.
Fingerprint Commands for the printer
The ON PORTIN, PORTIN, PORTOUT, and ON PORTOUT Fingerprint commands
support applicator functionality for the printer. These commands are functional
when the printer applicator port status is enabled. This section includes basic
information for each of these commands. For more information, see the
Fingerprint Command reference manual.
ON PORTIN
This command allows a Fingerprint application to detect in signals. If a
particular in signal is asserted, the application moves to the subroutine
responsible for carrying out tasks related to that in signal. One command is
available for detection of each of the 8 in signals.
Note: This command is not supported by the Direct Protocol.
Example:
• ON PORTIN.STARTPRINT GOSUB nnn
PORTIN
This command is a version of the PORTIN(PORT) command and checks the
current state of a specified signal. This command returns -1 if the signal is
asserted, or 0 if the signal is de-asserted.
Note: This command is supported by Fingerprint and Direct Protocol.
Example:
• PORTIN.STARTPRINT
or
• PORTIN.RIBBONLOW
