Line Analyzer

The Line Analyzer (LINE_AXP.PRG) is a program written in the
Intermec Fingerprint programming language and is 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
more labels.
Printable characters are printed in black-on-white, whereas
control characters and space characters (ASCII 000–032 dec) are
printed in white-on-black.
While the printer is receiving data, the "Ready" control lamp
blinks. There is a 0.5 second time-out. That is, if no more
characters have been received after 0.5 second, the program
considers the transmission terminated 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
information is printed:
• Page number
• Number of characters printed on the label
• Total number of characters received so far
The Line Analyzer is displayed as the option "LINE_AXP.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:

the printer's keyboard:
