PD41 and PD42 Commercial Printer User’s Guide 53

Configuring the Printer Using Commands Sent From Your PC

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:

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

1 From the HyperTerminal menu, select File > Properties > the

Settings tab.

2 Click the ASCII Setup button.

3 Select Echo typed characters locally.

4 Click OK twice.

For more information on how to change configuration settings, see

either the Intermec Fingerprint Command Reference Manual or the

IPL Command Reference Manual.
