Software Installation

If you intend to use the USB interface, you must start by installing the Intermec USB printer driver, which is included on the CD-ROM that comes with the printer.

If you run your EasyCoder PC4 from a PC under Windows 98/Me, or Windows NT 4.0/W2000/XP, you may want to install the Intermec InterDriver and the Intermec LabelShop START found on the CD- ROM that comes with the printer.

If you use any other operating system than Windows, you will need to use the ESim protocol described in the Intermec ESim v6.XX, Pro- grammer’s Reference Manual. (Intermec ESim also supports Windows.) Updates and installation instructions are available at the Intermec home page http://www.intermec.com.

Note: There are diﬀerent ﬁrmware for the 203.2 dpi (8 dots/ mm) and the 300 dpi (11.81 dots/mm) versions.
