Selecting an Application
In Intermec Shell, the menus present the options in infinite
loops. To see all menus and options, refer to the overview in this
chapter. The Select application lets you choose an application
program that resides in the printer’s memory:
• Current appl. starts the last selected application (by default
Intermec Fingerprint with "auto" selected as standard I/O
channel).
• Fingerprint is used to create, modify, or run programs
written in the Intermec Fingerprint programming language
and to run the Intermec InterDriver. This option requires that
you also select a standard IN/OUT channel, which is the
channel you want to use for communication between the
printer and the computer. Normally, you select "uart1:". Refer
to the Intermec Fingerprint manuals.
• Direct Protocol is an easy-to-use printer protocol for
downloading label formats and variable input data to a printer
from a host computer.
• This option requires that you also select a standard IN/OUT
channel, that is the serial channel you want to use for
communication between the printer and the host. Normally,
you select "uart1:". Refer to the
Intermec Fingerprint
Developer’s Reference Guide (P/N 934-019-XXX) .
• LINE-AXP.PRG (Line Analyzer) is a Fingerprint program
that captures characters received by the printer on a
communication channel and prints them on labels. (See later
in this chapter.)
• Other Application Programs will presented as additional
options.
