Intermec Shell Startup Program
As an alternative to selecting an application, you can step through
a number of other useful facilities:
•
Setup
allows you to enter the Setup Mode where you can set
up the printer by means of its built-in keyboard, see Chapter
7, “Setup Mode.”
•
Print Setup
allows you to produce a printout of the printer’s
current setup values (test label #5).
•
Testfeed
allows you to feed out a number of label, ticket,
tag, or portions of continuous stock while the printer auto-
adjusts its media feed and label stop/black mark sensor. It is
recommended to perform a Testfeed each time you load a roll
of labels from a new batch or a different brand.
•
Test Label
allows you to print a series of four test labels (test
labels #1 to #4) in order to test the printout quality and
printhead alignment. The labels are presented in an infi nite
loop, so you can print the series over and over again. Press
<
Enter
> for each new label.
•
Default Setup
allows you to reset all setup parameters to
their default values, as listed in Chapter 6, “Setting Up the
Printer.”
•
Software Update
is used for two purposes:
-
Update PC card
allows the printer to be used as a Flash
PC card programming device. Using the Zmodem com-
munication tool, fi les can be downloaded from a PC to
a Flash PC card
1
inserted in the memory card slot in the
printer’s rear plate.
Caution! If the Flash PC card contains an earlier fi rmware
version than the one in the printer, the printer’s fi rmware will
be downgraded without warning.
-
Update fi rmware
is used to upgrade the printer’s fi rmware
from a new fi rmware version stored as a fi le in a PC.
•
Reboot
has the same effect as cycling the power to the printer.
To exit Intermec Shell without having selected any applica-
tion, select Reboot. Then wait for the 5 seconds countdown to
fi nish, and the last selected application will be opened.
