Using Mkimage And Putimage To Change Drive C; Deciding Where To Run Mkimage - Intermec Janus 2010 User Manual

Using MkImage and PutImage to Change Drive C

As noted in the table on page 3-12, you can use MkImage and PutImage to
perform these tasks:
• Adding or editing files on drive C
• Replacing some files on drive C
• Replacing all of the files on drive C
• Deleting files from drive C
Follow these steps, which the next sections describe in detail:
1. Decide if you want to run MkImage on a reader or host computer.
2. Create a working directory and fill it with files for the reader's drive C.
3. Create the new image file with MkImage.
4. Load the new image file onto the reader with PutImage.
Note: You do not have to install MkImage and PutImage onto the reader because the
files are available by default on the reader's drive D.

Deciding Where to Run MkImage

You can run MkImage:
• on the reader's RAM drive if the image file is less than 256K.
• on a PC card inserted into the reader.
• on a host computer with or without Interlnk:
With Interlnk You can use Interlnk on the host computer to execute the
copy of MkImage that is stored on the reader's drive D. Also, you can use
Interlnk to copy files from the reader's drive C to the host's working
directory. For help, see "Running Interlnk to Transfer Files" in Chapter 6.
Without Interlnk You can run MkImage on the host computer without
Interlnk if you copy the MkImage executable file, MKIMAGE.EXE, from
the MS-DOS Programs companion disk 2 to the host computer. Also, you
can use DOS COPY commands to copy additional files from the companion
disks instead of from the reader's drive C.
