Setting The Rotary Switch - Intermec EasyCoder 4630 User Manual

4630 and 4830 Coax/Twinax Interface Card User's Manual
The communication settings of your printer must match the
settings of the interface card (shown above) to establish
communications with the host.
• Code page 850 character set.
• Twinax printer emulation ID of 5256.
• USA/Canada English host language
If you need to change these settings or access the more advanced
features of the interface card to meet your system needs, refer to the
section, "Sending Commands to the Interface Card," described later in
this chapter.
When the printer is turned on, the interface card checks the cable
connection to determine the mode of operation. If a cable connection is
not found, the LED flashes until the proper cable is attached.
The interface card is designed to use generic protocol with the
Intermec 4630 or 4830 printer. In Generic mode, the interface card
does not pass on the LPI and CPI host commands to the printer.

Setting the Rotary Switch

The interface card uses a rotary switch that is accessed from the back
panel of the printer. The positions on this switch are defined below:
Positions 0 to 6 Selects the twinax cable address. When the printer is
turned on, the communications address saved in memory is compared
to the rotary switch address in the following manner:
• If the two addresses match, normal operation occurs.
• If the rotary switch address is different than the address saved in
memory, the rotary selection is saved in memory and the new
address selection is used for communications.
• If the switch position is not 0 to 6, then the saved memory address
is used in conjunction with the current rotary switch selection (for
example, printing a self test label).
Note: When the interface card is reset to default parameters, an address of 0
is saved in memory.
