Serial Communication

The printer's current setup values can be read from the printer's
display window by browsing through the Setup Mode.
You can list the printer's current setup values by printing test label
"Setup Info" in the Setup Mode or by using Intermec Shell.
The current setup values can be sent to the host via the standard
serial communication channel using a SETUP WRITE "uart1:"
statement (see Intermec Fingerprint v8.xx, Command Reference
Manual).
The serial communication parameters control the
communication between the printer and the connected computer
or other devices on the serial port "uart1:" and the optional serial
ports "uart2:" and "uart3:". The optional ports require an
optional interface board. The printer's firmware detects if an
interface board is installed in the printer and presents additional
sets of communication setup menus depending on type of
communication (refer to
Note: The serial communication parameters have no effect on
parallel or EasyLAN communication, or on the IN and OUT
ports on the optional Industrial Interface Board.
For the serial communication channel "uart1:", the following
parameters can be set. Make sure the printer's communication
parameters match the setup of the connected device or vice versa.
If the setup of the printer and the setup of the host do not match,
the response from the printer to host will be garbled.

Baud Rate

The baud rate is the transmission speed in bits per second. There
are 10 options:
• 300
• 600
• 1200
• 2400
"Setup Mode Overviews" on page 71).
