Chapter 2 Configure the Terminal
Import an Application
During an import, the application file (.cha) is transferred from a USB flash
drive or microSD card to the internal storage of the terminal. The transfer
operation communicates with the terminal to import the file.
You cannot overwrite an application while the application is running. You
must unload the current application before overwriting the application. You
can import applications while another is running.
Follow these steps to import an application from the terminal.
1. Go to the File Manager screen.
2. Select the source location of the application from the Source list, either
USB or microSD card.
3. Select Internal as the To location to copy the application.
4. Select the name of the application from the Name list.
5. Press Copy.
The application is transferred to the internal storage of the terminal.
If an application with the same name exists in internal storage, you are asked
if you want to replace the existing application.
Change the Startup Application
You can select or change the application that runs on the terminal each time
the terminal starts up. Only applications in the internal storage of the terminal
can be run or set as a Startup Application.
Follow these steps to select or change the startup application from the
terminal.
1. Go to the File Manager screen.
2. Select Internal from the Source list.
3. Select the name of the startup application from the Name list.
4. Click Set As Startup.
Copy or Edit Recipes
You can copy recipes from a USB device or microSD card to an application on
the terminal, or from the terminal to a USB device or microSD card. You can
also edit the name of a recipe in an application, or delete the recipe from an
application.
IMPORTANT
If the application list is empty, the run, copy, delete, and set as startup
functions will not perform any action.
IMPORTANT
To perform a copy or edit operation on a recipe of an application, that
application must be unloaded or not running.
