Character Length

The character length specifies the number of bits that will define a character. Eight bits are recommended, since that option allows more special characters and characters that are used exclusively in foreign languages. Refer to the Intermec Fingerprint v10.X.X, Programmer’s Reference Manual for more information.

•7 (Characters ASCII 000 to 127 decimal)

•8 (Characters ASCII 000 to 255 decimal). Default.

Parity

The parity decides how the firmware will check for transmission errors. There are five options:

•None (default)

•Even

•Odd

•Mark

•Space

Stop Bits

The number of stop bits specifies how many bits will define the end of a character. There are two options:

•1 (default)

•2

Flow Control

RTS/CTS is a protocol in which communication is controlled via currents through separate lines in a cable that are set either to HIGH or LOW. By default, this option is disabled.

CTS on the Printer is connected to RTS on the PC and vice versa. CTS HIGH from the printer indicates that the unit is ready to receive data.

CTS LOW from the printer indicated that the receive buffer is full (see XON/XOFF). In some computer programs, e.g. Microsoft Windows HyperTerminal, RTS/CTS is designated "Hardware."

PD41 specifications

The Intermec PD41 is a robust and versatile industrial printer designed to meet the demands of various printing applications. Known for its reliability and durability, the PD41 is a preferred choice among businesses that require high-quality printing in challenging environments.

One of the main features of the PD41 is its impressive print resolution of up to 203 dpi, which ensures that text and graphics are crisp and clear. This high resolution is vital for printing barcodes and labels that need to be easily scanned and read. The printer supports a maximum print width of 4 inches, making it suitable for a wide variety of label sizes.

The PD41 utilizes advanced thermal transfer and direct thermal printing technologies, allowing users to choose the best method for their specific needs. Thermal transfer printing is excellent for producing long-lasting labels with vibrant colors, while direct thermal printing is ideal for short-term applications where durability is less critical. The printer’s ability to switch between these two technologies provides users with flexibility and cost-effectiveness.

Another notable characteristic of the Intermec PD41 is its fast print speed, which can reach up to 8 inches per second. This efficiency makes it particularly effective in high-volume environments, such as warehouses and distribution centers, where the quick turnaround of labels is essential for maintaining workflow.
