At startup, the behaviour of the printer is decided by the possible
existence of a startup file (autoexec.bat) somewhere in the print-
er's memory, i.e. a program that automatically starts running when
the printer is turned on. There are two cases:
The printer is only fitted with the Intermec Shell file-managing
A
program, which allows the operator to choose between a variety
of applications and functions.
In addition to Intermec Shell, the printer is also fitted with a
B
custom-made application program that is design to perform a
specific task, e.g. to print tickets, baggage tags, or product labels
for a certain company: Such a program may be initiated by a
startup file (autoexec.bat) stored in the printer's permanent
memory or in a memory card.
There can be one startup file stored in each of three different parts
of the printer's memory. If there are startup files stored in more than
one place, they will be used with the following priority:
1. An autoexec.bat file stored in any approved type of memory
card, provided it was inserted in the printer before power up.
2. An autoexec.bat file stored in the user's part of the printer's
permanent memory (device "c:").
3. The pup.bat file (Intermec Shell) in the systems part of the
printer's permanent memory (device "rom:").
This implies that if you insert a memory card with startup file
before you turn on the printer, the startup file of the memory card
will be used instead of Intermec Shell.
Some applications may require one or two electronic keys to be
inserted in the slot in the guide plate.
Remove the plastic cover and insert the key so the flat side faces the
centre of the slot. It does not matter if the key is fitted in the right or
left position.
In case of two electronic keys, the flat sides should face each other.
Important!
Always turn off the power before inserting or removing an
electronic key.
