Port Sets up the communications port via the
Commmunications Port dialog box. The user may select from
several different methods of communicating with the printer and
select the rate at which data is transferred.. The Com1 or Com2
selections allow bi-directional serial communications with the
printer.
Note: The LPT1 write/COM1 read or LPT1 write/COM2 read options are only
used with the Bravo series of desk top printers.
Two network protocols are available to talk to Zebra printers
equipped with wireless network capabilities: NETWORK TCPIP and
NETWORK LPD. In order to communicate with the printer, choose
the protocol that the printer is configured for. If you are unsure as
to which protocol the printer is setup for, turn the printer off and
while holding the feed key down turn the printer back on. This will print the printer’s 2-key report. The
protocol that the printer is configured to use is listed under the RF-LAN section. If the printer is using a
Symbol MOM card choose the NETWORK SYMBOL MOM CARD option. This is a TCP protocol that does
not close the network connection.
In order to talk to a network printer the IP address and port must also be entered. The printer’s current
IP address and port are also listed on the 2-key report.
Baudrate allows selection of the rate at which data is sent over either COM port. Baud rates range
from 2400 to 115200 b.p.s.
Checking the Set Printer Baud Rate box allows Label Vista to automatically set the Baud rate for the
program and the printer.
Once Communications have been established between Label Vista and the printer you can send files to
the printer with the various “Send” options under the “Printer” menu:
1 Send File
Downloads a file to the printer. Clicking on the “Browse” button allows the user to select a file to be
downloaded via the standard Windows interface. A bar at the bottom of the dialog box monitors
downloading process. This interface is common to all of the file download utilities.
