1. Connection and Operation
1. Connect the optional EasySet bar code wand to the receptacle
on the printer’s rear plate.
3. When the bar code has been accepted, the printer emits a
short beep and the “Ready”control lamp on the printer’s
front blinks briefly.
2. Read the appropriate bar code to set up the printer. Hold the wand
like a pencil and move it swiftly across the bar code.

Chapter 2
The only bar code that can be used eith the EasySet bar code wand is
a Code 128 containing the function character FNC3 (ASCII 130 dec).
If the FNC character is missing, the printer will regard the bar code
as containing ordinary ASCII input to the "wand:" device.
The syntax for the bar code input data is:
START FNC3 CODE C <setup id1> <setup value1>[<setup
id2> <setup value2> .................. <checksum> STOP
The setup bar code may contain up to 100 bars, which corresponds
to 15-16 characters.
Intermec Fingerprint creates START, CODE C, checksum and
STOP automatically, so the only data you need to add to print a setup
bar code is FNC3, the setup id, and the setup value.
Setup id is a two-digit number that specifies the setup parameter
to be changed.
Setup value can be of three types:
•List index, which means a post in a list of fixed options specified
by two digits.
•Unsigned number, which means a positive value in the range
0000 to 9999 specified by four digits. In the list on the pages to
follow, unsigned numbers are represented by “UUUU”.
•Signed number, which means a negative value in the range
-5000 to + 4999 specified by four digits. To avoid having to
use a minus sign (-) in the bar code, there is a negative offset
of 5000, which means that:
- Input value 5000 corresponds to the setup value 0
- Input value 0 corresponds to the setup value -5000
- Input value 9999 corresponds to the setup value 4999.
In the list on the pages to follow, signed numbers are represented
by “SSSS”.

Introduction, cont.
Example:
Creating a bar code, which sets the contrast to -10% and the stop
adjust value to 500:
10 BARSET "CODE128",2,1,3,240 (specifies bar code)
20 A$ = CHR$(130) (FNC3)
30 B%=7000 (contrast: setup id +
list index)
40 C% = 915500 (stop adjust: setup id +
signed number)
50 PRBAR A$;B%;C% (bar code input)
60 PRINTFEED (print bar code)
RUN (execute)
