Starting Up With Intermec Shell - Intermec EasyCoder 601 XP Installation And Operation Manual

Starting Up with
Intermec Shell
Intermec EasyCoder 601 XP – Installation & Operation Ed. 3
A few seconds after you have turned on the power to the printer and
the initialization is completed, the countdown menu of the Inter-
mec Shell program will be displayed:
ENTER=SHELL
5 sec. v.4.2
Now you have 5 seconds to enter Intermec Shell by pressing the
<Enter> key.
Provided you have a working two-way communication with a ter-
minal program in a host computer, you may – as an alternative –
enter the Terminal Setup by transmitting "TTT" or "ttt" to the printer.
The Terminal Setup is described later in this chapter.
The lower line keeps you informed on how much time you have
left. Should the time run out before you have taken any action to
enter Intermec Shell, the last selected application in Intermec Shell
will be opened. This implies that if you use the same application all
the time, you will only need to turn on the power, once the applica-
tion has been selected.
If no other application has been selected yet, the default choice will
be displayed when the countdown is completed, e.g.:
FINGERPRINT
7.12
This message means that you have entered the immediate mode of
Intermec Fingerprint with "uart1:" (the standard RS 232C port) se-
lected as std I/O channel (see Intermec Fingerprint manuals).
If you want to enter another application, just restart the printer and
enter Intermec Shell before the countdown is completed.
If you enter the Intermec Shell from the countdown menus, the
Select Application menu will be displayed:
SHELL
SEL. APPLICATION
In this menu, you can choose between three options:
• Go to a stack of menus, where you can select an application
program, by pressing <Enter>.
• Go to the Facilities part of Intermec Shell by pressing <F5>.
• Start the Terminal Setup program by transmitting "TTT" or "ttt"
from the host.
