Installation Procedures

Step

Procedure

Unpack the driver tar-ball by running the following command as root from the directory the file was downloaded to:

# tar -xzvPf fargoM30e-1.0.0.1.tgz

(Note: If an existing driver was already present on the system, it may be necessary to restart CUPS to allow the file changes to take effect.)

Installing the CUPS Driver

Note: On some Linux Distributions, it may be necessary to disable SELinux capabilities in order to install or use the CUPS Driver. Refer to the SELinux web site at:

www.nsa.gov/selinux/ or the documentation for your specific distribution for more information.

Fargo M30e CUPS Driver User Guide (Rev. 1.0.3)

Adding a USB Printer

Step

Procedure

Attach Power and USB to the printer.

From a Terminal window, run lshal to retrieve the list of devices.

Refer to the Example Output for lshal below for a sample of output to look for to identify the printer. Record the Device URI to be able to add the printer.

Example Device URI:

/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_9b0_2112_A8010217_if0_printer_A8010217

Choose Add Printer. (Note: If you are asked for a username and password, enter your login username and password or the “root” username and password.)

a. Enter a Name, Location and Description for the Printer. b. Click Continue.

a. If an entry exists in the dropdown, select the HAL Printing backend option

OR b. Select Internet Printing protocol (ipp) c. Click Continue.

a. Enter the Device URI recorded previously using the HAL printer Backend

Example:

hal:///org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_9b0_2112_A8010217_if0_printer_A8010217

b. Click Continue.

a. Select Fargo Electronics from the Make list. b. Click Continue. Note: If Fargo Electronics is not listed in the Make list, it may be necessary to restart

CUPS and begin the process to add the printer again.

a. Select M30e (en) from the Model list. b. Click Add Printer.

After installation is complete, it may be necessary to specify the page scaling options for the Print Queue.

The primary CUPS interface can be accessed on the local computer using a web browser. The address for the CUPS interface is: http://localhost:631/

The CUPS Driver uses URL Encoding when defining data to be encoding to the Magnetic Stripe. Any special characters (such as start and end sentinels) must be described with URL encoding to be recognized. See the URL Encoding Reference for additional information.

 The first character of this data string must be the track's specific Start Sentinel (SS) and

the last character must be the specific End Sentinel (ES).

 The characters or data in between the SS and ES can include all of the valid characters

specific to each track.

 The number of these characters, however, is limited by each track's maximum character

capacity.

When segmenting track data, the appropriate Field Separator (FS) must be used. The table below shows the SS, ES, FS and the valid characters defined for each track.
