Or: You can create your own bar code labels to receive files by creating a bar code in this
command format:
.%X n , drive:filename
(for XMODEM)
.%K n,drive:filename
(for XMODEM-1K)
.%Y n,drive:filename
(for YMODEM)
Example: To receive the file
SHIPPING.BIN
on the terminal’s drive C by using the
XMODEM
protocol through COM1, use this command:
.%X1,c:shipping.bin
Batch Transfer: To transfer a batch of files to the 246X terminal by using the
YMODEM
protocol, use
your serial communications package to start the transfer. You usually select a batch of
files using a wild card file specification. The host must send only the filename and
extension, not the drive and directory path in the data stream.
Next, use this command to receive the files on the 246X terminal:
.%Y n,drive:
For example, to receive the files through COM1 to drive D on the 246X terminal, use
this command:
.%Y1,d:
All files that match the wild card specification are transferred from the host and
received to drive D on the 246X terminal. If any file does not transfer, the remainder of
the batch transfer is aborted.
Receive and Convert 7-Bit ASCII Files to 8-Bit Binary Files
Purpose: Receives a file from the host computer through the serial port, converts the file from a
7-bit ASCII hexadecimal file to an 8-bit binary file, and saves the file on the 246X
terminal. You must have the terminal connected to the host through a serial port. For
help, see Chapter 2, “Installing the Terminal.”
246X applications are 8-bit binary files. Some network protocols like the Intermec
Multi-Drop protocol in a CrossBar network use 7-bit ASCII files. When you send 8-bit
binary files across a 7-bit system without converting the files, the files are not
compatible and will not run on the 246X terminal.
