Programming Problems
1) Check to see that you have installed all of the correct settings as
required by your particular hand-held computer. Using the
information in Chapter 3, you should have chosen the
communications settings (baud rate, handshaking, etc.) (However, if
you are using IrDA, the infrared standard set by the Infrared Data
Association, you will not have to worry about baud rate or parity or
data bit setti ngs as the y are set auto matically).
2) Updating your firmware will delete any data stored in the printer’s
internal memory. Thus, you may need to add your old format files to
your ne w setup p rogra m before updati ng your confi gurati on.
3) If you are upgrading from the microFlash version 2.01, you will
need to alter your application program substituting Easy Print
comma nds for a ny “Te mplate” c ommand s you ma y have used wi th
your old microFlash.
4) Be sure that your Easy Print “Print” command strings refer only to
fonts and bar codes that you have downloaded.
5) Be sure that the format is correct for your Easy Print or Line Printer
Mode commands. Refer to Chapter 6 for the escape sequences
involved in Line Printer Mode and for the English-like commands
used in Easy Print. Remember the rules below when formulating an
Easy Print co mmand.
