The Intermec Fingerprint programming language and Intermec
Direct Protocol allow custom-made messages to be composed and
displayed according to the requirements of the application.
The printer plays sounds in response to certain actions. The sounds
that are played depend on which version of firmware you are running:
• If you are running IPL:
• the printer beeps when you press a button.
• the printer beeps continuously if the printer is out of media or
ribbon.
• you can use an IPL command to create an audio alarm. For
help, see the
Guide.
• If you are running Fingerprint:
• the printer beeps when you press a button. You can also use a
Fingerprint command to turn off this beep.
• the printer beeps when an error occurs.
• you can use Fingerprint commands to specify the frequency
and duration of beeps for different conditions or even make
the printer play simple melodies. For help, see the
