CopyFile
CopyFile copies files from one folder to another on a cold boot. Files can be copied from
a non-volatile partition (Application or Platform) to the Windows or other volatile partition
during a cold re-boot. During a cold boot CopyFile looks for files with a .CPY extension on
the FFS partition. These files are text files containing the source and destination for the
desired files to be copied separated by ">". The following example from the file
application.cpy is contained on the default application partition shipped with the PPT

Non-FFS Partitions

Non-FFS Partitions include additional software and data pre-loaded on your terminal that
can be upgraded. Unlike FFS Partitions, these partitions are not visible when the operating
system is running. They also contain system information. Non-FFS Partitions include the
following:
• Windows CE: the complete Windows CE operating system is stored on Flash
devices. If necessary, the entire OS image may be downloaded to the terminal
using files provided by Symbol. The current OS partition on the terminal is included
as part of the TCM installation package. Any upgrades must be obtained from
Symbol. This partition is mandatory for the PPT 2800.
• Splash Screen: a Device Independent Bitmap (DIB) smaller than 16 Kb, displayed
as the terminal cold-boots. You may download a customized screen to display (see
Configuring the Terminal
• IPL (Initial Program Loader): This program interfaces with the host computer and
allows you to download via serial cable or cradle any or all of the partitions listed
above, as well as updated versions of IPL. Use caution downloading updated IPL
versions; incorrect downloading of an IPL causes permanent damage to your
terminal. IPL is mandatory for the PPT 2800.
