Intermec Shell Startup Program
Introduction
Intermec Shell is a startup program (also called “autoexec-fi le”),
which is a program that automatically starts running when the
printer is switched on. Intermec Shell helps the operator to
choose between a number of standard or custom-made applica-
tion programs and to start certain useful facilities, as listed below.
Application Programs
• Intermec LabelShop
(WYSIWYG label design program)
• Intermec Windows Driver
(do not use)
• Intermec Fingerprint
(for creating your own programs or to
run the Intermec InterDriver)
• Intermec Direct Protocol
(easy-to-use slave protocol)
• LINE_AXP.PRG
(line analyzer program)
• Other application programs in the printer’s memory
.
.
A prerequisite is that the program is provided with the extension
“.PRG”. However, some original Intermec utility programs are
excluded as long as they remain stored in "rom:":
- ERRHAND.PRG
- FILELIST.PRG
- LBLSHTXT.PRG
- MKAUTO.PRG
- SHELLXP.PRG
- WINXP.PRG
Other Facilities
• Setup Mode
(manual setup from printer’s keyboard)
• Print Setup
(printing setup on label)
• Testfeed
(for auto-adjust of the LSS)
• Test Label
(printing of test labels)
• Default setup
(resetting all setup parameters to default)
•
Update PC card
(downloading data from a host to a PC
card in the printer, or upgrading the
printer’s fi rmware from a PC card)
• Reboot
(restarting the printer)
Intermec Shell is factory-installed in the printer’s permanent
memory (device "rom:"). If you insert a memory card with another
startup fi le before you switch on the printer, or if there is a startup
fi le stored in the printer’s permanent memory (device "c:"), this
startup fi le will be used instead of Intermec Shell (see Chapter 3,
“Startup Files”).
