In this mode, Fingerprint commands are executed as soon as the printer receives a carriage return. Generally, commands sent in Immediate Mode cannot be saved after they are executed. 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 which can then be edited, copied, loaded, listed, or merged with other programs as needed. For more information, see "About Programming Mode" on page 13. Sending Fingerprint Commands to the Printer To send Fingerprint commands to an Intermec printer, you need: • a terminal or host computer with a display and keyboard. • a serial connection to the printer. • a communications program, such as Windows HyperTerminal, that can transmit and receive ASCII characters.
