3. CREATING A SIMPLE LABEL
1. Introduction
Continued!
To get a quick impression of how Fingerprint works, start by
creating a simple label following the step-by-step instructions
below. Later in this manual, the various functions will be explained
in greater detail. You can also look up the instructions in the
Intermec Fingerprint 6.13 Reference Manual.
Use a word processing program, e.g. Windows Notepad, to enter the
program lines. Use a space character to separate the line number
from the instruction that follows. Finish each line with a carriage
return character, indicated by ↵ below.
When you have entered a batch of program lines, copy the lines and
paste them into a communication program, e.g. Windows Terminal,
which is connected to the printer (see chapter 2.11).
The printer will not execute the program until you have entered
RUN + Carriage Return.
Let us start by printing a box 400 dots high and 300 dots wide with
a line thickness of 10 dots. The box is inserted at position X=10,
Y=10:
NEW
10 PRPOS 10, 10 ↵
20 PRBOX 400,300,10 ↵
200 PRINTFEED ↵
300 END ↵
RUN ↵
Note: The printer does not execute the program until you have typed
RUN ↵.
Note:
This example is designed to be run on any present Fingerprint 6.13-compatible
EasyCoder printer connected to a terminal or computer and loaded with a paper
web (preferably labels) according to the following specifications.
Label size:
Width: ≥ 52.8 mm (2.08")
Length: ≥ 70 mm (2.75")
