Chapter 2 — Configuring the PB50

Changing Configuration Settings From PrintSet

PrintSet Version 4.2 (or higher) is a printer configuration tool that you can download from the Intermec web site. PrintSet can communicate with your printer through a serial cable or a network connection. It works on all PCs running Windows 98 (or later). PrintSet allows you to easily change all of the setup parameters. It also includes setup wizards to guide you through some common configuration tasks.

Changing Configuration Settings Using the Command Line

You can change configuration parameters by sending commands directly to the printer using your terminal program (HyperTerminal) and a serial or network connection.

If your printer uses the Fingerprint language, you use the SETUP command, followed by the node, subnode, and parameters setting. Here is a Fingerprint example that sets your media setting to labels with gaps:

SETUP "MEDIA,MEDIA TYPE,LABEL (w GAPS)"

If your printer uses the IPL language, you would send this command:

<STX><SI>T1<ETX>

Fingerprint automatically sends feedback to HyperTerminal as you type. If you want to see what you are typing with IPL, you need to complete the following procedure.

To see IPL commands as you type

1From the HyperTerminal menu, select File > Properties > the Settings tab.

2Click the ASCII Setup button.

3Select Echo typed characters locally.

4Click OK twice.

For more information on how to change configuration settings, see either the Fingerprint Command Reference Manual (P/N 937-005-xxx) or the IPL Command Reference Manual (P/N 937-007-xxx). You can download both documents from the Intermec web site at www.intermec.com.
