AWR300 User Manual
7.5.2 Select Group
This menu item allows to print a particular group instead of the last one or all groups.
After printing was finished, the reader returns to the screen shown above.
7.5.3 Print All Groups
This option should be used if the complete memory content, resp. all groups, should be printed.
The procedure is similar to 'Print Last Group', there are no further selections required.
7.5.4 Print Barcode
It is also possible to print a barcode of a particular EID. This can be useful if you want to label
blood samples, for example. In order to be able to print the EID as a barcode, the AWR300 has
to read the transponder first. When you select 'Print Barcode', the device will activate the RFID
engine. After the tag has been read, the AWR300 is sending an appropriate command to the
mobile printer.
7.5.5 Setup Printer
Before you can use the printer, it has to be set up correctly. This includes printer type, the interface
and the baud rate. If any of these settings is incorrect, the printer feature will not work properly.
There are much more options and configurations available, but this would be too much for
including it into the AWR300 menu. So all the additional options are only software configurable.
For example, AWR-PC-Demo can be used for configuring all possible printer options.
7.5.5.1 Set Printer Type
The AWR300 Firmware supports several different printer types, like the Able Systems 'AP1300',
the Datamax-O'Neil 'Apex' series (former Extech Apex), the Zebra QL-series and QLn-series and
the Martel 'MCP 1880/7880'. The type 'Generic Line Printer' might work for particular printers as
well, but there are no special control codes send for this printer type – so it can only work for
simple ASCII printers.
Select the correct printer type from the list by using the directional keys and confirm by pressing
the
key.

Select the group to be sent to the printer using the
keys and confirm with
If the Bluetooth connection has not been established yet,
the AWR300 will try to connect to the mobile printer now as
explained in the previous chapter.
If the connection to the printer is established, printing will
start right away.
The barcode type is '2of5 interleaved'. Other barcode types
are not supported at the moment.
