Computer
The Easycoder PF4i Compact Industrial is fitted with one
RS-232 Serial Interface ("uart1:")
Use the serial interface with Intermec LabelShop or the Intermec Inter- Driver. Also use it with the Intermec Direct Protocol or the Intermec Fingerprint programming language because you can receive error mes- sages from your printer. Before you can use the serial interface, you may need to set up the communication parameters, such as baud rate, parity, etc. as described in Chapter 6, “Setting Up the Printer.”
USB Interface ("usb1:")
Use the USB interface with an
Optional Interface and Network Boards ("uart2:", "uart3:", "centronics:", or "net1:")
Several types are available (see Chapter 9, “Options”). Refer to Chapter 6, Chapter 7, and Appendix C for connection and setup instructions.
The printer can be set to scan all communication ports. When it detects incoming data on a port, the printer automatically switches to use that port for both input and output. This facility ("auto") can be selected in Intermec Shell (see Chapter 8) or using the Intermec Fingerprint instruc- tion SETSTDIO, see Intermec Fingerprint v8.xx, Programmer’s Reference Manual. Use the <F5/i> key to get information on the active communi- cation channels.
Switch off both PC and printer before connecting them together.
