• Flow Control
• New Line
This chapter explains the meaning of the various setup parameters.
There are a number of ways to change the setup:
• By means of the Setup Mode as explained in the chapters "Setting
Up EasyCoder 201 IIS" and "Setting Up EasyCoder 201 IIE &
201 IISA".
• By means of the Terminal Setup option in Intermec Shell, see the
Intermec Shell Standard and Enhanced Startup Manuals.
• By means of setup files or setup strings. See the Intermec
Fingerprint Reference Manual,
Direct Protocol Programmer's Guide.
Note that the following setup options are excluded in the Easy-
Coder 201 IIS printer model, since that model never is delivered
with any extra serial interface board:
• Serial communication setup for communication channels "uart2:"
and "uart3:".
• Communication buffer setup for communication channels "uart2:"
and "uart3:".
The contrast setup allows you to make minor adjustment of the
printout in regard of blackness, e.g. to adapt the printer to variations
in quality between different batches of the same paper quality.
The serial communication setup controls the communication be-
tween the printer and the connected computer or other devices on
the standard serial communication channel "uart1:" and the op-
tional serial channels "uart2:" and "uart3:". The latter two channels
require an optional interface board to be fitted. The printer's
software detects if such a board is fitted and presents additional sets
of communication setup menus for each serial channel.
The serial communication setup has no consequence whatsoever
for parallel communication via an optional parallel interface
board or for the
IN
Interface Board.
For each serial communication channel, the following parameters
can be set. Make sure they match the setup of the connected device
or vice versa. The default setup (indicated by bold characters below)
is selected as to make the printer understand and act upon Intermec
Fingerprint instructions transmitted from the host, regardless how
the host is set up. If the setup of the printer and the setup of the host
do not match, the response from the printer to host will be garbled.
