USB Interface
The printer supports USB full speed v2.0 Host. To use the USB
interface to print from a PC, you need to have the Intermec
InterDriver printer driver installed on your PC. For help setting up
USB communications, see “Connecting the Printer to a PC
Through the USB Device Port” on page 24.
The printer is a “self-powered device.” Intermec recommends that you
only connect one printer to each USB port on the PC, either directly
or through a hub. You can connect other devices, such as a keyboard
or a mouse, to the same hub. If you need more than one USG printer
to a host, you should use different USB ports.
The USB cable that ships with the printer has a USB Type A connector
on one end to connect to the PC and a USB Type B connector on the
other end to connect to the printer. You do not need to configure
communications for the USB port.

Advanced Configuration
This appendix contains information on the printer file system
and how to modify the appearance of the printer web page.
Appendix D — Advanced Configuration

Printer File System (Fingerprint)
As you access the printer for communications, you will encounter
different parts of the printer file system. The following sections
contain a device tree structure and brief descriptions of the different
devices and directories of the file system.
Device Tree Structure
This illustration shows the device tree structure of the printer.
Devices and Directories
The file system of the printer is case-sensitive. This fact is important
because filenames in Fingerprint commands are translated into
capital letters by default. Directories or files with lowercase names will
be inaccessible for Fingerprint commands and programs.
Depending on how you choose to navigate the file system on the
printer, you will need to use different commands.
/ (root)
c
ADMIN
boot
tmp
rom
ps
dev
card1
secure
images
Appendix D — Advanced Configuration
PD41 and PD42 Commercial Printer User’s Guide 117
•If you are accessing the printer through an FTP client or a web
browser, you can easily navigate through the different devices and
directories. Lowercase letters are not an issue for FTP or a web
browser.
•If you are accessing the printer through raw TCP (“net1:”), you use
Fingerprint to communicate with the printer. Since Fingerprint
commands are translated into uppercase letters, you are restricted
from accessing devices and directories with lowercase names. For
more information on using Fingerprint, refer to the Fingerprint
Command Reference Manual.
/(root)
The root node is write protected to preserve the device and file
structure of the printer.
/c
/c is the user file system. You can create directories here to store files
such as programs, fonts, and images.
ADMIN
This directory is only accessible for the admin user. It contains start
order, Fingerprint restrictions, and other configuration parameters
only configurable for an admin.
boot
This directory contains the firmware, password file, and other system
information.
card1
This directory is the Compact Flash file system used to store large
fonts, images and so on. You can also use this device to upgrade the
firmware of the printer.
/dev
This directory is where devices used for input/output, such as uart1,
Flash, net1, parallel IEEE 1284, and so on are located.
pffs:
The power fail file system is used to store files that need to be saved at
power down. Files stored on this unit cannot exceed the size of 256
bytes each, and the total size of the “pffs” unit is 32 KB.
Appendix D — Advanced Configuration
118 PD41 and PD42 Commercial Printer User’s Guide
/rom
This device is used to store a collection of files that are available as
default in the printer, for example the default web pages, fonts, and
images.
images
This directory is used to store images used for the default web pages.
secure
This directory is used to store the password protected web pages.
tmp:
This is the printer’s temporary read/write memory. It will lose its
content when the power is turned off or at a power failure. Do not use
“tmp:” to store valuable data. One advantage of using “tmp:” instead
of “/c” to temporarily store data is that data can be written to SDRAM
faster than to the flash memory.
Customing the Printer Home Page
The easiest way to modify the appearance of the printer web page is to
create an HTML file called “INDEX.HTM” on the device “/c” with
custom designed logo and colors. From this file it is quite easy to link
to the configuration pages of the printer. The web server generates
these web pages with dynamic information on the fly. This process
makes the real-time generated pages of the printer appear in the
Intermec style. The colors and logo of the customer will be ignored.
Web Style Guide Files
The printer network cards are prepared for customization of the
default web pages in a more permanent way by changing the
configuration of the engine that generates the pages. While
generating the pages, the web server accesses configuration
parameters, like the background color, the name of logos to display
on the page and generates the HTML code. Default configuration of
these parameters makes the printer’s web page appear in the Intermec
style, with corporate colors and logos. When changing the
parameters, the web pages are permanently customized.
Appendix D — Advanced Configuration
PD41 and PD42 Commercial Printer User’s Guide 119
Customization of these parameters has to be done in specific files
called “Web Style Guide Files”, assigning user-defined values to several
support environment variables.
Web style guide files contain parameters to set web page content and
layout. These files can be stored either on /c or pffs:.
In the file system, /c has priority over pffs:, which implies that if there
is a web style guide on /c (for example /c/webstyleguide.0), the printer
will not look for pffs:webstyleguide.1. We suggest that web style
guides are stored on pffs: to minimize the risk that they are
accidentally removed.
Content of a Web Style Guide File
A Web Style Guide file has to contain a set of mandatory environment
variables and it can also contain optional variables. All variables have
to be lowercase, followed by a “=” sign and a consistent value. There is
no specific order of the variables.
Required Environment Variables
Use the reference table below to understand all of the required
environment variables.
Optional Environment Variables
The optional environment variables are used to specify extra
parameters; for instance, these variables permit to change the printer’s
model name. The web server only recognizes the following model
names:
•PD41
Understanding Required Environment Variables
Variable Description
bgco Background color, BGCOLOR attribute of BODY tag.
coli Copyright link, link to html file showing Copyright notes.
cona Company name.
loat Logotype attributes, contains all attributes for the IMG-tag to
replace the Intermec logo.
trna Trade name.
Appendix D — Advanced Configuration
120 PD41 and PD42 Commercial Printer User’s Guide
•PD42
The web server checks the available hardware and then displays the
correct model name in the web page. If the page has to show a
different name of the printer, the web style guide file has to contain
the optional variable printer=your name.
Optional Variables Reference Table
Variable Description Comments
alco Active link color, ALINK attribute of
BODY tag.
BGLI Background image link, BACKGROUND
attribute of BODY tag.
heon Help on, enables a help link on the page. If this parameter is in
the webstyle guide
file, the variables
“heli” and “hena”
must have a value.
heli Help link, link associated to the Help tag.
hena Help link name, the label to be shown on
the web page.
lico Link color, LINK attribute of BODY tag.
suon Support link on, enables a support link on
the page.
If this parameter is in
the webstyle guide
file, then the
variables “suli” and
“suna” must have a
value.
suli Support link, this is the link associated
withe the support tag.
suna Support link name, this is the label to be
shown on the web page.
teco Text color, TEXT attribute of the BODY
tag.
vlco Visited link color.
Appendix D — Advanced Configuration
PD41 and PD42 Commercial Printer User’s Guide 121
x-www-url-Encoding Syntax Rules
The value given to environment variables has to be specified
respecting the x-www-url-encoding syntax rules. According to the
syntax rules, characters can be inserted using the notation %<ASCII
Hex>. For example, space in the ASCII table has the Hex number 20 so
it corresponds to %20. For example, “Intermec Technologies
Corporation” corresponds to
“Intermec%20Technologies%20Corporation” (it can also be written
“Intermec+Technologies+Corporation”).
Colors are specified according to the RGB syntax: %23cdcdcd
corresponds to #cdcdcd.
Any quotation marks (%22) must be preceded by a back slash (\).
The file must contain only one line, where the different variables and
valuers are separated by ampersand (&) characters.
Memory and Storage
Web Style Guide files are designed to be placed on the printer’s pffs, as
mentioned. Due to the memory limits of the pffs the environment
variables have very short name (4 bytes), which may make them less
user friendly to use, but this allows more space to be used for the value
of the variable.
There is also a size limit per file that is set to 256 bytes. In case the
Web Style Guide File you want to create is bigger than 256 bytes, the
content has to be split in more than one file.
The parser daemon will start looking for the first Web Style Guide
File which has to be named “webstyleguide.0”, then it will try to read
the next file called “webstyleguide.1” and so on.
Creating a Web Style Guide File
You can create Web Style Guide Files with a standard text editor and
then transfer them to the printer. Follow these rules when creating a
Web Style Guide File:
••The name has to be lowercase.
••The first file has to have extension “.0”. The following files have to
have sequential extension number if one number is missing in the
sequence the parser will stop reading the files.
Appendix D — Advanced Configuration
122 PD41 and PD42 Commercial Printer User’s Guide
••The split point between one web style guide and the other cannot
be in the middle of a line. The last line of the file has to be
consistent in the syntax and the first line of the following web style
guide file has to be a new line.
••If variables are specified more than one time, the last value is the
one assumed.
Intermec recommends that you use the FTP server to transfer the
files.
