Preface
Chapter 1 Introduction
Intermec Fingerprint is a Basic-inspired, printer-resident programming
language that has been developed for use with the Intermec
EasyCoder XP and EasyCoder F series of direct thermal and
thermal transfer printers.
The Intermec Fingerprint firmware is an easy-to-use intelligent
programming tool for label formatting and printer customizing,
which allows you to design your own label formats and write your
own printer application software.
You may easily create a printer program by yourself that exactly
fulfils your own unique requirements. Improvements or changes
due to new demands can be implemented quickly and without vast
expenses.
Intermec Fingerprint also contains an easy-to-use slave protocol,
called Intermec Direct Protocol. It allows layouts and variable data
to be downloaded from the host and combined into labels, tickets
and tags with a minimum of programming. Intermec Direct Protocol
also includes a versatile error handler and a flexible counter
function.
This Reference Manual contains detailed information on all programming
instructions in the Intermec Fingerprint programming
language in alphabetical order. It also contains other programrelated
information that is common for all Intermec Fingerprintcompatible
printer models from Intermec.
All information needed by the operator, like how to run the printer,
how to load the paper supply and how to maintain the printer, can
be found in the User's Guide and the Installation & Operation
manual for the printer in question.
In the Installation & Operation manual for each type of printer, you
will find information on installation, setup, print resolution, paper
specifications, relations between printhead and paper, and other
technical information, which is specific for each printer model.
The Intermec Fingerprint Programmer's Guide supplements the
Reference Manual and gives a comprehensive introduction to
Fingerprint programming.
