PB50 Portable Label Printer User’s Guide 5
Chapter 1 — Using the PB50 Portable Label Printer
Understanding the Backlight
The screen backlight on the PB50 behaves the same way as a
screensaver on your PC. After a set amount of time elapses
without any user interaction, the backlight goes off. The screen
backlight turns on when:
• the printer begins printing.
• you press a button.
• you connect the printer to external power.
You can change the amount of time to have elapse before the
backlight turns off using the Setup menu. Options for backlight
are always off, always on, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 20 seconds, 30
seconds, or 60 seconds.
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.
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.
Installing the Battery
Make sure you fully charge the battery before you use your PB50.
You can charge the battery before or after you install them into
the PB50.
To install the battery
1 Lay the PB50 upside down on a flat surface.
6 PB50 Portable Label Printer User’s Guide
Chapter 1 — Using the PB50 Portable Label Printer
2 Insert the battery with the tab facing away from the front
control panel.
3 Insert the edge of the battery under the lip of the PB50 and
then push down until you hear the battery latch click.
Charging the Batteries
There are two ways to charge the PB50 battery:
• connect AC power to the printer and charge the battery while
it is in the PB50.
• Charge the battery in the AC18 4-bay battery charger.
For information on charging your battery in the 4-bay battery
charger, see the AC18 4-Bay Battery Charger Instructions
(P/N 943-128-001).
It takes approximately 4 hours to charge the battery while it is
installed in the PB50 printer. To charge the battery inside the
PB50, you need:
• an Intermec 12 VDC power supply (Model AE19).
PB50 Portable Label Printer User’s Guide 7
Chapter 1 — Using the PB50 Portable Label Printer
•an AC power cord.
To charge the battery inside the PB50
1 Install the battery in the PB50. For help, see the previous
section, “Installing the Battery.”
2 Connect the power supply to the DC power connector on the
printer.
3 Connect one end of the power cord to the power supply and
then plug the other end into an AC outlet.
Understanding the Battery Icons
The easiest way to tell the status of your battery is to look at the
battery icons on the control panel of the PB50.

Extending Battery Life
Here are some tips for extending the overall life of your battery:
• Never expose the battery to direct sunlight or temperatures
over 40°C (104°F).
• Only charge the battery inside the PB50 using a power supply
or in the 4-bay battery charger (Model AC18).

Loading Media
Chapter 1 — Using the PB50 Portable Label Printer
Here are some tips for extending the life of your battery between
charges:
• Press the Standby button to put the printer in Standby mode.
• Remove the battery from the printer if you will not be using it
for three days or more.
• Do not operate the PB50 in extremely cold temperatures.
Using the PB50 in temperatures below freezing reduces the
overall battery life.
Remember that any rechargeable battery loses its ability to
maintain a charge over time. You can only recharge it a finite
number of times before you must replace it.
You can use roll or fanfold receipt media with the PB50 printer.
The PB50 ships with a small amount of media loaded and a test
page printed to verify that the printer works. The PB50 supports
self-strip printing applications. See the second procedure for
information on how to correctly load media for self-strip
printing.
For information on media specifications, see Appendix A.

Changing the Configuration Settings from PrintSet
PrintSet Version 4.2 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 the 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 Programmer’s Reference Manual (P/N
937-005-xxx) or the IPL Programmer’s Reference Manual (P/N
066396). You can download both documents from the Intermec
web site at www.intermec.com.

download SmartSystems Foundation, go to www.intermec.com/
products/smrtsysfoundation/index.aspx.
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 three
ways to communicate with a host:
• Bluetooth radio communications
• 802.11 b/g radio communications
• Serial communications
24 PB50 Portable Label Printer User’s Guide
Setting Up Bluetooth Communications
The PB50 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 PB50 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 PB50 then accepts or rejects the connection. Use Intermec
Settings on the mobile computer to enable the Bluetooth settings
on the PB50.
The PB50 can also connect to Bluetooth scanners such as the
SF51 and the SR61. 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 PB50. You can download a free version of
EasySet from the Intermec web site at www.intermec.com.
Chapter 2 — Configuring the PB50
Each PB50 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.
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 PB50. The default passcode for the
PB50 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

Chapter 3 — Troubleshooting and Maintaining the PB50
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 “Understanding Test Mode”
on page 19.
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 (true??) 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.
Printable characters are printed in black-on-white. Control
characters and space characters (ASCII 000 to 032 dec) are
printed in white-on-black.
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:
42 PB50 Portable Label Printer User’s Guide
Chapter 3 — Troubleshooting and Maintaining the PB50
• 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 42.
• You can access Dump mode from the Setup menu. If you
access Dump mode this way, characters are printed on a
continuous line along with corresponding hexadecimal
numbers.
To enter Dump mode from the Setup menu
1 Press the Setup button.
2 Press until you reach Te s t / S e r v i c e .
3 Press to enter the Test/Service menu.
4 Press until you reach Data Dump and then press .
5 Press to select Yes and then press .
6 Cold boot the printer to exit Dump mode. For help, see the
next procedure, “Cold Booting 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.
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.
A cold boot reinitializes the 802.11 radio and clears the working
memory.
