Display

The display window contains an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) with background illumination and two lines of text, each with 16 characters. It guides the operator through the setup and indicates possible errors during printing.

The Intermec Fingerprint programming language and the Intermec Direct Protocol allow custom-made messages to be composed and dis- played according to the requirements of the application.

In application programs created using the Intermec Fingerprint pro- gramming language, the keys can be assigned to various functions or be disabled individually. Since one key is assigned as shift key, up to 44 different key combinations are possible. An audible signal, which can be turned off if so desired, acknowledges that a key has been pressed.
