EasyCoder PF2i Bar Code Label Printer User's Guide (Fingerprint Version)
If a Code 128 bar code that contains the character FNC3 is read
via this port, the data will be treated as a setup string and will
change the printer's setup accordingly. A setup bar code may
contain a single parameter or a combination of up to 3 or 4 setup
parameters. Refer to the EasySet Bar Code Wand Setup manual (P/
N 1-960560-00) for more information on how to produce setup
bar codes.
The printer will acknowledge that a bar code has been
successfully read by emitting a short beep signal.
If no FNC3 character is found in the bar code, the data will be
stored in a buffer which could be read by specifying the "wand:"
device. The buffer is small, so it is recommended to use short bar
code data (max. 16 characters) and read the buffer regularly to
avoid overflow.
For more demanding applications or for reading bar codes other
than Code 128, choose a regular bar code scanner from
Intermec's wide product range and connect it to a serial port.
The printer can optionally be fitted with one of the following
interface boards at the right-hand side of the printer's rear plate.
