C IPL and Fingerprint Setup Menus The setup parameters of the printer control the way the printer operates. This chapter provides an overview of the menu structure you can use to configure setup parameters on the PD42 printer. To change the setup parameters on the PD41, see “Configuring the Printer” on page 37.

D Advanced Configuration This appendix contains information on the printer file system and how to modify the appearance of the printer web page.
Appendix D — Advanced Configuration Printer File System (Fingerprint) As you access the printer for communications, you will encounter different parts of the printer file system. The following sections contain a device tree structure and brief descriptions of the different devices and directories of the file system. Device Tree Structure This illustration shows the device tree structure of the printer.
Appendix D — Advanced Configuration • If you are accessing the printer through an FTP client or a web browser, you can easily navigate through the different devices and directories. Lowercase letters are not an issue for FTP or a web browser. • If you are accessing the printer through raw TCP (“net1:”), you use Fingerprint to communicate with the printer. Since Fingerprint commands are translated into uppercase letters, you are restricted from accessing devices and directories with lowercase names.
Appendix D — Advanced Configuration /rom This device is used to store a collection of files that are available as default in the printer, for example the default web pages, fonts, and images. images This directory is used to store images used for the default web pages. secure This directory is used to store the password protected web pages. tmp: This is the printer’s temporary read/write memory. It will lose its content when the power is turned off or at a power failure.
Appendix D — Advanced Configuration Customization of these parameters has to be done in specific files called “Web Style Guide Files”, assigning user-defined values to several support environment variables. Web style guide files contain parameters to set web page content and layout. These files can be stored either on /c or pffs:. In the file system, /c has priority over pffs:, which implies that if there is a web style guide on /c (for example /c/webstyleguide.
Appendix D — Advanced Configuration • PD42 The web server checks the available hardware and then displays the correct model name in the web page. If the page has to show a different name of the printer, the web style guide file has to contain the optional variable printer=your name. Optional Variables Reference Table Variable Description 120 Comments alco Active link color, ALINK attribute of BODY tag. BGLI Background image link, BACKGROUND attribute of BODY tag.
Appendix D — Advanced Configuration x-www-url-Encoding Syntax Rules The value given to environment variables has to be specified respecting the x-www-url-encoding syntax rules. According to the syntax rules, characters can be inserted using the notation %. For example, space in the ASCII table has the Hex number 20 so it corresponds to %20.
Appendix D — Advanced Configuration • •The split point between one web style guide and the other cannot be in the middle of a line. The last line of the file has to be consistent in the syntax and the first line of the following web style guide file has to be a new line. • •If variables are specified more than one time, the last value is the one assumed. Intermec recommends that you use the FTP server to transfer the files. Example (the default Web Style Guide): bgco=%23ffffff&loat=src%3d\%22/rom/image
