LINE ANALYZER
Description
The Line Analyzer (LINE–ALY.PRG) is a program written in the
Intermec Fingerprint programming language and 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 several labels.
Printable characters are printed in black-on-white, whereas control
characters and space characters (ASCII 00–32 dec) are printed in
white on a black background.
While the printer is receiving data, the "Ready" control lamp blinks.
There is a 0.5 sec timeout. If no more character has been received
after 0.5 seconds, the program considers the transmission termi-
nated 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 informa-
tion is printed:
• Page number
• Number of characters printed on the label
• Total of characters received so far
If the whole label is not filled, before the printer starts printing
another one, the image buffer is too small. We recommend to
increase the image buffer before starting the Line Analyzer.
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
The communication port are numbered as follows:
1 = "uart1:"
2 = "uart2:"
3 = "uart3:"
4 = "centronics:"
You can scroll between the ports, which are organized as a
continuous loop (1-2-3-4-1....) by pressing the <Print> key with the
printhead lifted. If the printer is not fitted with a port, an error
message appears in the display:
Line Analyzer
Error:56
Go on pressing the <Print> key until the number of the desired port
is displayed, then lower the printhead.
