Chapter 2 Program Instructions ALIGN (AN), cont. Remarks, cont. Bar Code Field: A bar code field makes up an imaginary box sufficiently large to accommodate the bar code interpretation, regardless if it will be printed or not (provided that the selected type of bar code may include an interpretation at all). However, for EAN and UPC codes, the box is restricted in regard of width by the size of the bar pattern, not by the interpretation.
Chapter 2 Program Instructions ALIGN (AN), cont. Remarks, cont. Box: The anchor points are situated at the lower side of the line or box in relation to how text is printed in the selected direction. Lines and boxes have only three anchor points, each of which can be specified by means of three different numbers. A special case is multi-line text fields in a box. The fields can be aligned in nine positions in relation to the box, whereas the box itself only has three anchor points, as described above.

Chapter 3 3. Image Transfer The following five image transfer file protocols are used in connection with the STORE IMAGE statement and use a common format for the image data, as descibed on next page. Intelhex Intel hex [Intel Hexadecimal Intellec 8/MDS (I_hex) file format] is a well-known standard format for transfer of bitmap images. Please refer to the standard literature on the subject. Note that: • Hex digits in Intelhex frames must be uppercase. • Null frames may be omitted.
Chapter 3 Image Format Image Transfer The following image format is valid for Intelhex, UBI00, UBI01, UBI02, and UBI03 image transfer protocols, but not for the UBI10 protocol, which is a combined image transfer protocol and format. A bitmap picture can be encoded in one of two ways, as a plain bit representation or encoded with a Run Lenght Limited (RLL) algoritm. Pictures can be magnified, by the printer, up to four times independently in both x and y directions.
Chapter 3 Image Transfer Image Format, cont. Example 1: Bitmap encoding To clarify this, lets try a simple example. X’s represent black dots in the final printout. The pattern shown is 22 bits wide and 28 rows high. NOTE! • The bit order in each byte. Note also word fill to nearest word (16 bit). • To the right is a hex representation of the pattern, as it would appear in a memory dump.
Chapter 3 Image Format, cont. Image Transfer Example 2: RLL Encoding To clarify this, lets try a simple example. X’s represent black dots in the final print out. The pattern shown is 22 bits wide and 32 rows high. NOTE! • Notice the reverse byte order. Count dots from right. • To the right is a decimal representation of the pattern. • To get the pattern to appear as printed on this page with direction one, the last row (row 27) should have the lowest address.
Chapter 3 UBI10 Image Transfer UBI10 is a combined protocol/file format for image transfer, as opposed to Intelhex and UBI00-UBI03 protocols described earlier in this chapter. UBI10 is used in various Intermec Windows Drivers. Protocol Description !BG ↵ !XA ↵ !YA ↵ !XA | !YA !SBW !XA | !YA !SBW !XA | !YA !SBW .....
Chapter 3 Image Transfer UBI10, cont. The image illustrated above contains 2 bytes (= 16 bits) in each horizontal line. By setting the absolute start position to x = 8, you can start counting from the start of the second byte, that is x = 8 in the matrix above. The first 3 bits (x-positions) are white, then comes one black bit followed by three white bits, and finally one black bit. Expressed in 0:s and 1:s, where 0 represents a white bit and 1 a black bit, the pattern will be 00010001.
Chapter 3 Image Transfer PRBUF-Protocol The PRBUF Protocol is designed for downloading bitmap print image data directly from an application program, such as a Windows printer driver, directly to the printer’s image buffer in connection with the PRBUF statement. The protocol consist of a two-byte header and a number of data bytes: Header Byte No 1. is always the @-sign (Commercial at; Unicode 0x0040) and indicates start of the protocol header.
Chapter 3 PRBUF-Protocol, cont.

Chapter 5 5. Bar Codes Introduction The printer contains a number of bar code generators, which can produce highly readable bar codes in four different directions. However, a general rule which applies to all thermal printers is that it is more difficult to print a bar code with the bars across the media path (ladder style) than along the media path (picket fence style.

Chapter 5 Bar Codes Setup Bar Codes The EasyCoder XP- and F-series printers can optionally be fitted with an EasySet bar code wand. By reading a special bar code containing encoded data for one or several setup parameters, the printer’s setup can easily be changed, even by a person without any knowledge of Intermec Fingerprint, the Direct Protocol, or their supporting software. This chapter explains how to create such setup bar codes.

Chapter 6 Fonts Bitmap Fonts Starting with Intermec Fingerprint v7.3, it is possible to use fonts in the “old” Intermec .ATF bitmap font format. This feature improves compatibility with custom-made programs originally created in Fingerprint v6.xx or earlier versions. Downloading an .ATF font (for example XX030RSN.ATF) to the printer produces three fonts in the memory; one without any extension (for example XX030RSN), one with the extension .1 (for example XX030RSN.1), and one with the extension .
Chapter 6 Printout Samples Fonts The printout samples below are in 10 point size, no slant, and 100% width.

There are three setup sections: "prt" is the legacy section as it was before the introduction of sections. It is the default section. "alerts" controls printer alerts in regard of individual enable/disable and delay conditions for repeated traps. "lan1" contains all the variables available in the print server. Setup objects are used in connection with EasyLAN 100i.
