Custom Commands for Intermec FP/DP Devices
If the Family selected is Family Driver and the Model selected is FP/DP
Fingerprint/Direct Protocol. Intermec Fingerprint is a programming language for printer applications. Intermec Direct Protocol is a label layout language used by Fingerprint., or if the Family selected is Intermec and a Fingerprint/Direct Protocol (FP/DP) model is selected, then the Custom Commands tab displays the following options. For more information about drivers and Loftware Enterprise™ SP, see Managing Devices.
Custom commands are sent even if Send Options is cleared in the Advanced tab.
Note: You can enter lower ASCII control codes by using mnemonic text representation. The mnemonic text must be upper case. For example, you can use <ESC> for an escape character or <HT> for a tab character. To enter upper case text that includes < or > but should not be converted to a control code, enclose the text with << and >>. For example, <<US>> is converted to <US>. Lower case or mixed case text enclosed in < and > will remain as is and will not be converted into a control code. For a list of common control codes, see Lower ASCII Control Codes.
Command Location
You can configure custom FPL commands to occur in specific locations within the job.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Before Label | Command to occur as the first command sent to the device at the start of the job. On an extended print job (multiple label requests in print stream), this command occurs only before the first label request. |
| After FPL Options | Command to occur after the configuration part of the print stream. |
| After Label | Command to occur as the last command sent after each label. |
Example: Turning off Intermec Direct Protocol
By default, Loftware Enterprise SP leaves the device in Direct Protocol mode after printing a label. You can turn off Direct Protocol mode after a label is printed by entering the following custom command in the After Label field.
INPUT OFF
Example: Manually Changing the Print Speed
If you are using a device that is only partially supported and you need to manually change the print speed by a means other than using the Print Speed option on the Media tab, you could enter the following custom command in the After FPL Options field to change the print speed to 225mm/s.
