Chapter 9 Intermec Shell Startup Program
A few seconds after you have switched on the power to the printer
and the initialization is completed, the countdown menu of the
Intermec Shell program will be displayed:
ENTER=SHELL
5 sec. v.4.01
Now you have 5 seconds to enter Intermec Shell by pressing the
<Enter> key.
Provided you have a working two-way communication with a
terminal program in a host computer, you may, as an alternative, enter
the Terminal Setup by transmitting “TTT” or “ttt” to the printer.
The Terminal Setup is described later in this chapter.
The lower line tells you how much time you have left. Should the
time run out before you have taken any action to enter Intermec Shell,
the last selected application in Intermec Shell will be opened. If you
use the same application all the time, you will only need to switch on
the power, once the application has been selected.
If no other application has yet been selected, the current version
of Intermec Fingerprint will be opened with the standard RS-232
port "uart1:" selected as std I/O channel (see Intermec Fingerprint
manuals). When the countdown is completed, you will see these
lines in the display:
FINGERPRINT
6.14
If you want to select another application, just cycle the power and
enter Intermec Shell before the countdown is completed.
When you enter the Intermec Shell from the countdown menus, the
Select Application menu will be displayed:
SHELL
SEL. APPLICATION
In this menu, you can choose between three options:
• Press < Enter> to go to menus where you can select an
application program.
• Press <F5> to go to the Facilities part of Intermec Shell.
• Start the Terminal Setup program by transmitting “TTT” or
“ttt” from the host.
