Notes regarding usage

  • Printing through VoiceConsole using “Test Print ” does not print any pages. However, “ Test Print ” through a Talkman and task works fine.
  • The printer testing was done in “CSim” mode. Please refer to printer documentation on how to configure printer in “CSim” mode.
  • The printer may take some time in printing ODR data when it is removed from the network and brought back again into the wireless coverage.
  • Intermec PB50 supports both IPL (Intermec Printer language) and CSim. In this testing, VoiceApp (Task) used CSim  to communicate with PB50 printer.
