Using the Printer Menu Com Port Setup

Once you have Label Vista running, and your printer connected to

your P.C., click on the Printer selection on the menu bar, then the

Com Port Setup selection.

Communications Port sets up the communications port via the

ComPort dialog box. The mobile printer user may select the com-

munications port and the rate at which data is transferred.. The

Com1 or Com2 selections allow bi-directional serial communica-

tions with the printer; the other options do not apply.

Two network protocols are available to communicate to Zebra mo-

bile printers equipped with network capabilities: NETWORK TCPIP

and NETWORK LPD. In order to communicate with the printer,

choose the protocol that the printer is conﬁgured for. If you are

unsure as to which protocol the printer is using, turn the printer off

and while holding the feed key down turn the printer back on. This

will print the printer’s 2-key report. The protocol that the printer is

conﬁgured to use is listed under the RF-LAN section. If the printer

is using a Symbol MOM card choose the NETWORK SYMBOL

MOM CARD option. This is a TCP protocol that does not close the

network connection.

In order to talk to a network printer the IP address and port must

also be entered. The printer’s current IP address and port are also

listed on the 2-key report. Conﬁguring Baudrate allows selection

of the rate at which data is sent over either COM port. Baud rates

range from 2400 to 115200 b.p.s.

Checking the Set Printer Baud Rate box allows Label Vista to auto

matically set the Baud rate for the program and the printer.
