The firmware files are usually kept in the C:\distr\Intermec-PD43 folder. Look around if it’s not there.

The upload and reboot will take about 3 minutes on a LAN connection. It may take a bit longer.

If the firmware was updated, login again.

Testing/Tuning

Login to the Pricing station, exit the AMI application if necessary, and login again.

The process will be:

  1. Print a tag

  2. Make adjustments

  3. Repeat until the tags look right

  4. VOID these tags in the AMI Application.

Adjustments

  1. Click on the Configure tab

  2. Click on the Printing → Media link

Because we print the labels upside down, some of the adjustments are not intuitive. Make the adjustments in 12 dot increments, fine tuning once the label looks close to centered.

  • If the price needs to move UP: Increase the ‘Label Top Adjust’

  • If the price needs to move DOWN: Decrement the ‘Label Top Adjust’

  • If the price needs to move LEFT: Increase the ‘Media Margin X’

  • If the price needs to move RIGHT: Decrease the ‘Media Margin X’

You will need to click Save after each adjustment.

VOID New Tags

Make sure to VOID the tags created during this adjustment.
