the appropriate DIP switches. See the Dot Increments DIP Switch
Settings table on page 62.

The printer prints the software configuration label and stops at the new
location.
6 Verify that the label rest point number on the software configuration
label matches the number you set in Step 4.
7 Try printing again to see if you need to readjust the DIP switches in the
bottom bank.
8 If you need to readjust the DIP switches in the Bottom Bank, repeat
Steps 4 through 7. If not, exit Test and Service mode by turning off the
printer and returning all DIP switches to their original settings.
If you are replacing an Intermec 8636 or 8646 printer with a 3400, 3440,
or 3600 printer, you can keep your existing network, hardware, software,
and label formats by using Emulation mode. The labels produced on your
new printer will look like the ones that your old 86XX printer printed.
There are three ways to set the printer to Emulation mode:
• Use the DIP switches in the Test and Service DIP switch bank. For
help, see the following set of steps.
• Use PrintSet to select either 100 dpi (10 mil) or 66 dpi (15 mil) mode.
For help, see the PrintSet online help.
• Use the IPL command set to select Emulation mode. For help, see the
IPL Programming Reference Manual (P/N 066396).
To set the printer to Emulation mode using DIP switches
1 Upload label formats, fonts, and graphics from the 8636 or 8646
printer to the host computer.
2 Turn the On/Off switch to the off position.
3 Disconnect the 86XX printer and install your printer. See Chapter 1 for
information on installing your printer.
