Interrupt Index
With edition 1.4, the alphabetical index for the interrupts is removed from the
end of the
Conversions and Interrupts
section, and relocated to the end of the
InĆ
dex
section, primarily because we changed to another desktop publishing proĆ
gram, which causes extra maintenance for an index to exist somewhere other
than the Index section. The title of that index is now:
Interrupt Index
, and is loĆ
cated at the very end of the book so you can easily find it.
With edition 1.4, the Interrupt Reference Table" was relocated to the Index"
section, under Interrupt Index". With edition 2.0, it was then reorganized so
you can find interrupts (alphabetically) by topic. The original order was by verb,
which I discovered was totally useless.
Reprogramming Flash Memory
This material is moved to the
Getting Started
section, since it is similar to the
types of information contained in that section.
Earlier Changes
Organization in General
When the
6100 Programmer's Reference Guide
was first developed from the origiĆ
nal
PEN*KEY Programmer's Reference Guide
, a review by some representatives
of various Intermec departments agreed the organization needed to be changed.
Comments from readers (of the original manual) seemed to confirm that informaĆ
tion was hard to find.
Sample Configuration Files
This information is removed from the
Getting Started
section and relocated to
Appendix A
, because it constitutes information to which statements in several
different paragraphs need to refer. It also simplified the task of updating this
information with each new edition.
Common 6000 Series Information
This information is collected from several places in the book and relocated to
ApĆ
pendix B
. This is necessary to preserve it from extinction. New users still need
some of this information. And placing it in the back of the book prevents experiĆ
enced PEN*KEY users from tripping over it.

The following shows how this publication is structured. The topics listed below
