HP4500D: As for HP4500, with Duplex support.
Zebra printer types
QLZPL203: Used for e.g. wireless Zebra QL220+, QL320+ and QL420+ printers. (Use the
command APF3812/CALIBQL to calibrate the printer - refer to page 455 for
information). The characters ‘^’ and ‘~’ are unsupported on these printers.
Print mode: 2=Rewind is recommended for merges in InterForm400.
ZEBRA203: To be used for 203DPI Zebra printers
ZEBRA300: Intended for 300DPI Zebra printers
Intermec printer types
IPL203 To be used for 203 DPI Intermec printers supporting the IPL language.
IPL300 To be used for 300 DPI Intermec printers supporting the IPL language.
Please notice this regarding Intermec support:
Overlays should be created in a label file set (also used for Zebra printers).
If the used soft fonts (for Zebra/Intermec) are installed in an earlier version of InterForm400
(earier than a 2011 version), then you will need to reinstall soft fonts if you want to use them
for an Intermec printer. Also please notice that PDF417 and Datamatrix barcodes are placed
with the upper left corner as the point of reference on an Intermec printer, where the point of
reference is the lower left corner on Zebra and PCL/PDF.
Cassette Mapping (Drawers)
Selecting the drawer on an overlay can be done either by specifying a drawer number
(*INPUT, *PRINTER, 1-255) or a paper type. Whenever possible it is recommended to select
the drawer by use of the paper type as described below.
Selecting drawer by drawer number
® ®
When selecting a drawer in Design InterForm400 Overlay in the InterForm400 system, you
®
should be aware of the differences between various printer types. InterForm400 will know
from your specification of printer type which emulation the output should be formatted to but
will not know which optional paper feeders etc. are installed on the printer.
For HP and other PCL compatible printers, the code specified in e.g. the field Drawer on the
design menu will be used as value for the HP Paper Source PCL command ESC&l n H. You
should refer to the user’s guide delivered with your printer to verify which paper source is used
for each value of “n”.
For HP and other PCL compatible printers we have some more possibilities. The following is
the standard definitions for the value of n and for the value stated for Drawer in the
®
InterForm400 system, when printing on HP 5Si compatible printers:
1 - Tray 2 (upper drawer)
2 - Manual feed (tray 1, right side tray)
3 - Manual envelope feed (tray 1. Right tray)
4 - Tray 3 (lower drawer)
