Setup Methods

There is a number of methods you can use to set up the printer
for the desired type of serial communication and control the
printing according to type and size of media and in regard of
print speed.
The printer is always provided with the EasyCoder E4 Direct
Protocol. This chapter mainly explains how to set up the printer
using the Direct Protocol.
There is also a number of supporting software packages from
Intermec that can send setup data to the printer in a form that the
Direct Protocol understands. Thus, you do not have to type intricate
commands but only have to click an option or enter some data in
menus presented in a Windows-compatible environment.
The following software allows you to set up the printer:
• Intermec PrintSet v2.1 or later
• Intermec InterDriver with or without ActiveX controls
• Intermec LabelShop (various versions)
The number of setup options may vary according to type of software.
Please refer to the manual or the on-line help that came with the
software in question.
Even if you use a software package to set up the printer, you may
fi nd this chapter instructive as it explains what the various options
stand for and what choices you have. You can fi nd more information
on the EasyCoder E4 Direct Protocol in Appendix 4. For a full
description, please refer to the EasyCoder E4 Direct Protocol,
Programmer's Guide.
