need to be used as the GUI will only support one install. Only one driver should be used at
a time. Issues may occur if more than one instance of Micprinter is used at the same time.
If a second printer is desired, then you could run two independent setups. You would need
to copy all of the supporting Micprinter files including the executable into separate
directories and specify the working directory of each as well.
From a Command line, type Micprint and press ENTER:
Reported to screen:
MICPrint.exe ver 2.8
Prints image based on attached BMP file and the registry entries..
Usage: MICPrint [<bmpfile>] - Send a bmpfile to the printer using the
registry settings
MICPrint [<bmpfile> 0] - same as above but for use with -f, -p and
-d options
MICPrint [<command_line> 1] - Send a command line to the printer
MICPrint [<cmdfile> 2] - Send a command file to the printer
MICPrint - this message
Other options:
-f<config_file> - Send the configuration to the printer as
a file (NOT READ FROM REGISTRY) This uses
the same exported setup file created from
the MICPrint Configuration utility
-p<communication_port> - Send the communication port to the
printer directly over-riding registry
and configuration file
-d<working_directory> - Directory for use with temporary files
-i - vertically invert the image before printing
-f<config_file> - This switch is used to specify the location of the Micoptions set file used to
configure the driver.
Syntax: -fc:\temp\app1\app1.set
-p<communication_port> - This switch is used to override the COMM port selection stored in
the configuration.
Syntax: -p08
-d<working_directory> - This switch is used to specify the location of the temporary files that
the driver creates to work. Each driver should have a unique working directory. Please not
that a space must follow the –d switch and the path must be surrounded by quotes with an
extra “\” character.
Syntax: -d "c:\\temp\\app1"
-i - vertically invert the image before printing – The image will be inverted before the driver
converts the image.
Here is an example of the Syntax used to print labels:
