Configuring The Reader For A Language; Installing Auto-Loader On Your Host Computer - Intermec Janus 2010 User Manual

This chapter describes how to configure the reader to operate in French, German,
Italian, or Spanish. The chapter also explains how to use an international keypad.

Configuring the Reader for a Language

You can configure your JANUS reader to operate in any language that is
supported by DOS National Language Support (NLS).
The AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS startup files on your reader will be
changed to support the language you select. Because these files are stored on
drive C, a ROM drive resident in flash memory, you must use a special utility,
Auto-Loader, to replace them. To learn why drive C requires Auto-Loader, see
"Learning How to Change the Contents of Drive C" in Chapter 3.
Follow these steps to configure the reader for a language:
1. Install Auto-Loader on your host computer.
2. Configure the reader for the language with Auto-Loader.
These steps are described in the next sections.

Installing Auto-Loader on Your Host Computer

If you want to use Auto-Loader, you must install Auto-Loader from the Boot
Utilities companion disk 1 onto your host computer. Before you start installing
Auto-Loader, make sure you have:

• DOS 3.3 or higher running on the host computer.
• COM1 or COM2 serial port available on the host computer.
• The host's environment space, which is reserved by the SHELL command
Note: If you want the reader to operate in English, you must install Auto-Loader
according to the instructions in Chapter 3, "Learning About the Software."
To install Auto-Loader on your host computer
1. Insert companion disk 1 into a disk drive on your host computer.
2. Create the directory where you want to install Auto-Loader. Make that

drive that was created with a third-party file compression software utility.
