how to install Intermec PC23d

• Step 1: Choose a stable, accessible location near a power outlet and your computer or POS system. Ensure there is room around the printer for loading media and for airflow to keep the unit cool during extended printing sessions.
• Step 2: Connect the PC23d to your computer using the USB cable provided with the printer. If you are configuring the device for a shared workstation, you can also attach it to a USB hub or directly to the PC for a clean, single-user setup.
• Step 3: Install the recommended printer driver package. Use the driver CD included with the device or download the latest USB driver from the official support portal. Follow on-screen prompts to complete the driver installation and set the PC23d as your default label printer if desired.
• Step 4: Load media correctly. Open the top cover, place your label stock on the media supply, and align the guides to match the label width (2 inches). Close the cover and perform a media calibration if prompted to ensure proper sensor alignment and label spacing.
• Step 5: Calibrate and run a test print. Use a simple label template to verify alignment, print darkness, and label readability. If the calibration indicates misalignment, repeat the media loading and calibration steps until the test label prints cleanly and the sensor detects the label edge accurately.
• Step 6: Configure basic print settings. In the printer driver, set the media width to 2 inches, choose the correct printing speed and darkness for your stock, and enable any preferred print templates or label formats. Save these settings as a profile for repeated use.
• Step 7: Begin printing. Send a test batch from your software to confirm consistent label output. If you are integrating with a barcode-lue workflow, verify that barcodes print at the required size and scannability and adjust printer settings accordingly.
