Chapter 1 - Introduction to Fingerprint PRIMAGE PRINTFEED RUN Adds an image named "Globe.1" to the print buffer. Prints one label. Runs the program. For more information on command syntax, see "Understanding Fingerprint Syntax" on page 5. Fingerprint Operating Modes Fingerprint has two operating modes: • Immediate Mode. In this mode, Fingerprint commands are processed when the printer receives a carriage return. Generally, commands sent in Immediate Mode cannot be saved after they are processed. Use Immediate Mode when you want to test the effects of commands without saving the commands, such as when you are editing label formats. For more information, see "About Immediate Mode" on page 12. • Programming Mode. In this mode, you can save one or more Fingerprint commands as programs. You can edit, copy, load, list, or merge programs with other programs. For more information, see "About Programming Mode" on page 13.

To send Fingerprint commands to an Intermec printer using a serial connection, you need: • a computer with a screen and keyboard. • a serial connection to the printer. • a terminal emulation program, such as HyperTerminal or PuTTY, that can transmit and receive ASCII characters.
