Managing Power on the PB50
Use the power options on the PB50 to manage and conserve battery
power. From the Power option in Setup menu, you can set Low
Battery, Sleep Timer, and Standby Timer.
Use the Low Battery option to set the battery voltage at which the low
battery warning appears. The values for Low Battery range from 12.1
V to 16.8 V in 0.1 V increments. The default setting is 13.5 V.
Use the Sleep Timer option to set the amount of time it takes for the
PB50 to go to “sleep” if the printer is not printing and you do not have
any interaction with it. When the printer goes to “sleep,” it turns off
the backlight and it dims the Ready-to-Work indicator. By default, the
printer backlight turns off after 20 seconds of no user interaction.
You can set Sleep Timer to always off, always on, 5 seconds, 10
seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds, or 60 seconds. The backlight turns
on when:
• the printer begins printing.
• you press a button.
• you connect the printer to external power.
• you are communicating with or sending data to the printer.
Note: If you have Sleep Timer set to always on, the Standby timer
setting will have no effect on the PB50.
Use the Standby Timer option to turn off power to the radio, the
display, and the backlight. The Standby Timer option has the same
effect on the PB50 as pressing the Standby button. When the printer
is in Standby mode, both the LCD and the Ready-to-Work indicator
are turned off. You can set Standby Timer to 5 mins, 10 mins, 20
mins, 30 mins, 60 mins, or disabled. Press the Standby button to turn
the printer back on.

Chapter 1 — Using the PB50 Mobile Label and Receipt Printer
Using the Batteries
The PB50 uses a rechargeable 2200 mAh lithium-ion battery (Model
AB13) for power. You must fully charge the battery before you can use
the PB50. A fully charged battery can last up to one week without
needing to be recharged when the printer is in Standby mode.
Use Intermec Model AB13 battery only. Use of another battery
may present a risk of fire or explosion.
The Model AB13 battery may present a fire or chemical burn
hazard if mistreated. Do not disassemble, heat above 100°C
(212°F), or incinerate.
Dispose of used batteries promptly. Keep away from children.

Changing Configuration Settings From PrintSet
PrintSet Version 4.2 (or higher) is a printer configuration tool that
you can download from the Intermec web site. PrintSet can
communicate with your printer through a serial cable or a network
connection. It works on all PCs running Windows 98 (or later).
PrintSet allows you to easily change all of the setup parameters. It also
includes setup wizards to guide you through some common
configuration tasks.
Changing Configuration Settings Using the Command Line
You can change configuration parameters by sending commands
directly to the printer using your terminal program (HyperTerminal)
and a serial or network connection.
If your printer uses the Fingerprint language, you use the SETUP
command, followed by the node, subnode, and parameters setting.
Here is a Fingerprint example that sets your media setting to labels
with gaps:
SETUP "MEDIA,MEDIA TYPE,LABEL (w GAPS)"
If your printer uses the IPL language, you would send this command:
<STX><SI>T1<ETX>
Fingerprint automatically sends feedback to HyperTerminal as you
type. If you want to see what you are typing with IPL, you need to
complete the following procedure.
To see IPL commands as you type
1 From the HyperTerminal menu, select File > Properties > the
Settings tab.
2 Click the ASCII Setup button.
3 Select Echo typed characters locally.
4 Click OK twice.
For more information on how to change configuration settings, see
either the Fingerprint Command Reference Manual (P/N 937-005-xxx) or
the IPL Command Reference Manual (P/N 937-007-xxx). You can
download both documents from the Intermec web site at

Chapter 2 — Configuring the PB50
Establishing Communications With a Host
The PB50 must establish communications with a host that will send
the data for the printer to print. The PB50 provides four ways to
communicate with a host:
• Bluetooth radio communications
• 802.11 b/g radio communications
• USB communications
• Serial communications
Setting Up Bluetooth Communications
The PB50C can contain a Bluetooth radio that allows wireless
communications with a remote device from distances up to 100
meters (approximately 328 feet) depending on the Bluetooth range
capabilities of the remote device, environmental conditions, and
obstructions. For the Bluetooth-enabled devices to exchange data,
both devices must establish a connection. Bluetooth software is
always running in the background.
The PB50C cannot initiate a Bluetooth connection. One of the
devices, such as a CK31, CK61, 700 series, CN2B, or CN3 mobile
computer, must request a connection with the printer. The PB50C
then accepts or rejects the connection. Use Intermec Settings on the
mobile computer to enable the Bluetooth settings on the PB50C.
The PB50C can also connect to Bluetooth scanners such as the SF51
and the SR61 Cordless scanners. You can create the bar code labels
you need to connect the printer to a Bluetooth scanner using EasySet
software. If you are going to create the bar code labels using EasySet,
you will need to know the Bluetooth Device Address and the PIN of
the PB50C. You can download a free version of EasySet from the
Intermec web site at www.intermec.com.
Each PB50C equipped with a Bluetooth radio has a unique Bluetooth
Device Address (BDA) loaded into its module when manufactured.
You can find the BDA on the certification label located on the bottom
of the printer.
PB50 Mobile Label and Receipt Printer User’s Guide 27
Chapter 2 — Configuring the PB50
To set up Bluetooth communications with a mobile computer
• Follow the procedure to discover and connect to Bluetooth devices
in your mobile computer user’s manual.
Note: For maximum security, you need to configure a Bluetooth
passcode for the PB50C. The default passcode for the PB50C is
“1234.”
To set up Bluetooth communications with a scanner
1 Download and install EasySet.
2 Create the following bar code labels using EasySet:
• Administrator reset factory defaults
• Bluetooth parameters - security - not active
• Bluetooth parameters - connect/disconnect - compose BT
address
• Bluetooth parameters - security - compose PIN:
3 Scan the bar code labels with the Bluetooth scanner.

Intermec media to ensure superior print quality
and product performance.
• Check that the printer is set to the appropritae
Constant/Factory or sensitivity number for the
media you are using.
Troubleshooting Communication Problems
Use Dump mode to verify that the printer is receiving data from the
host correctly.
Using the Line Analyzer in Fingerprint
In Dump mode, the printer runs a Fingerprint program called Line
Analyzer. The Line Analyzer captures incoming characters on the
communication ports and prints them on one or more labels.
The easiest way to enter Dump mode is through Test mode or
Extended Test mode. For help, see
page 21.
After the printer enters Dump mode, it tells you it has entered Dump
mode by printing it on a label. The display shows the Dump mode
icon and printer is ready to receive data.
While the printer is receiving data, the Ready-to-Work indicator
blinks. After a half of a second, if no more characters have been
received, the printer times out. The program considers the
transmission terminated and prints out a label.
46 PB50 Mobile Label and Receipt Printer User’s Guide
“Understanding Test Mode” on
Chapter 3 — Troubleshooting and Maintaining the PB50
Printable characters are printed in black-on-white. Control characters
and space characters (ASCII 000 to 032 dec) are printed in white-onblack.
As long as a continuous string of characters is being received, the
program wraps the lines until the label is full and then starts to print
another label. After each character transmission, the following
information prints:
• Page number
• Number of characters printed on the label
• Total number of characters received so far
When you exit Dump mode, a final label prints to inform you that it is
exiting from Dump mode.
Using Dump Mode in IPL
When you enter Dump mode, the printer captures incoming
characters on the communication ports and prints them on one or
more labels.
If you have IPL firmware on your printer, you can access Dump mode
in two different ways with slightly different results:
• You can access Dump mode through Test mode or Extended Test
mode and you will receive printouts that look exactly like those
produced with the Line Analyzer program in Fingerprint. For
more information, see the previous procedure, “Using the Line
Analyzer in Fingerprint” on page 46.
• You can access Dump mode using the control panel buttons. If
you access Dump mode this way, characters are printed on a
continuous line along with corresponding hexadecimal numbers.
To enter Dump mode using the control panel buttons
• Press and hold the Feed and Standby buttons until the printer
starts feeding out media.
The printer feeds out several labels (or inches of media), prints the test
labels, and then enters Dump mode.
To exit Dump mode using the control panel buttons
• Press the Feed button.
PB50 Mobile Label and Receipt Printer User’s Guide 47
Chapter 3 — Troubleshooting and Maintaining the PB50
Cold Booting the PB50
You rarely need to cold boot the PB50 printer, unless you are
upgrading the firmware. If your printer occasionally locks up, you will
want to cold boot it. A cold boot reinitializes the 802.11 radio and
clears the working memory.
Note: The Setup menu is not affected by a cold boot. Your printer
retains all of your configuration settings after the printer powers back
up.
To reset the PB50
1 Disconnect the PB50 from power if externally powered.
2 Remove the battery from the PB50 for at least one second.
3 Insert the battery back into the PB50.
4 Reconnect external power if your PB50 is externally powered.
Cleaning the Printer
To properly maintain your PB50, you should clean it at the
recommended intervals. If you have a linerless printer, you may want
to clean your printer more often than recommended. Printing may get
noisy due to residue from the linerless medai building up on the roller
bar.
To avoid possible personal injury or damage to the printer, never
insert any pointed or sharp objects into the printer.
Use only the cleaning agents specified in this section. Intermec is
not responsible for damage caused by any other cleaning
materials used on this printer. Clean most of the printer with a
cotton swab saturated with alcohol.
Do not clean the linerless platen roller with isopropyl alcohol. It could
damage the surface of the platen roller.
