Selecting An Application - Intermec EasyCoder PX6i User Manual

Selecting an Application

In Intermec Shell, the menus present the options in infi nite loops, To see
all menus and options, refer to the overview in this chapter. The Select
application lets you choose an application program that resides in the
printer's memory:
• Current appl. starts the last selected application (by default Intermec
Fingerprint with "auto" selected as standard IN/OUT channel).
• Fingerprint is used to create, modify, or run programs written in the
Intermec Fingerprint programming language and to run the Intermec
InterDriver. This option requires that you also select a standard
IN/OUT channel, which is the channel you want to use for commu-
nication between the printer and the computer. Normally, you select
"uart1:". Refer to the Intermec Fingerprint manuals.
• Direct Protocol is an easy-to-use printer protocol for downloading
label formats and variable input data to a printer from a host com-
puter. This option requires that you also select a standard IN/OUT
channel, that is the serial channel you want to use for communication
between the printer and the host. Normally, you select "uart1:". Refer
to the Intermec Direct Protocol v8.3x, Programmer's Reference Manual.
• LINE-AXP.PRG (Line Analyzer) is a Fingerprint program that cap-
tures characters received by the printer on a communication channel
and prints them on labels. (See later in this chapter.)
• Other Application Programs will presented as additional options.
Note: When an application program is started, it may automat-
ically change the communication setup. If another application
is selected later, this communication setup will remain valid,
unless the new application includes instructions that auto-
matically change the setup. The setup could also be changed
manually in the Setup Mode.
