Intermec PX4i User Manual

Set up the printer and the terminal for the communication parameters 

and type of handshake. 
Press the <i> key on the printer’s keyboard to check that the printer 

uses either auto or an RS-232 serial channel as I/O channel.
Check that the connection is working.

Also refer to your printer’s user’s guide and the Intermec Fingerprint 

Programmer’s Reference Manual or the IPL Programmer’s Reference 

Manual.

If you are planning to update several printers with the same network 

setup parameters, you may want to consider creating a configuration file 

for this purpose. Once created, you copy the file to a CompactFlash card, 

insert the card in the printer, restart the printer and the parameters will 

be set up automatically. 

Open a new document in a text editor. 
Write a Fingerprint program (syntax is described in Chapter 4, “Setup 

in Fingerprint”), that sets the desired network parameters. Here is an 

example of what it might look like:

Save your file as “WLAN.PRG” and copy it to the CompactFlash 

card.
Now, create the file which executes the update itself. Open a new 

document in a text editor, and write the following:

Save your file as “AUTOEXEC.BAT” and copy it to the 

CompactFlash card.
