Differences between Fingerprint 8.70.0 and 10.0.0
Intermec Fingerprint v8.70.0/v10.0.0 Programmer´s Reference Manual
Chapter 1—Introduction
Fingerprint 10.0.0 has been designed for use with the EasyCoder PD41.
Although most commands work exactly the same as for Fingerprint 8.XX
series, the differences in the printer platforms cause the firmware to have
some important differences. Some general differences are listed below:
• The EasyCoder PD41 has no display. Commands to control the display
can be used and the results be read over the network (SNMP).
• The EasyCoder PD41 has no beeper. Commands BEEP anmd SOUND
will be silent, yet create equally long delays.
• The EasyCoder PD41 has only a Print button. Applications requiring
user input on the printer keyboard will therefore not work. Changing
SETUP parameters through the console is not possible.
• The EasyCoder PD41 does not support as many optional interface
cards. This affects the devices available.
• The EasyCoder PD41 does not send a power fail signal. Thus variables
cannot be saved with the SETPFSVAR unless the printer is rebooted
using the REBOOT comand. This naturally affects the functionality of
GETPFSVAR, DELETEPFSVAR and LISTPFSVAR.
News in Intermec Fingerprint v8.70.0
A new naming convention for Fingerprint version numbers is introduced.
Tha last digit is added and is stepped up for new versions containing only
corrections and no new functionality. A new version with only bug fixes
would thus be called 8.70.1. A new Fingerprint version containing new
functionality causes the the middle digits to be stepped up, for example
8.71.0.
