When the printer is switched on, its behavior depends on the
existence of a startup file (autoexec.bat) in its memory. There
are two cases:
A The printer is only fi tted with the Intermec Shell fi le-managing
program, which allows the operator to choose between a variety
of applications and functions.
B In addition to Intermec Shell, the printer is also fi tted with a
custom-made application program that is design to perform a
specifi c task, for example to print tickets, baggage tags, or product
labels for a certain company. Such a program may be initiated
by a startup fi le (autoexec.bat) stored in the printer's permanent
memory or in a memory card.
There can be one startup fi le stored in each of three main parts of the
printer's memory. If there are startup fi les stored in more than one
part, only one will be selected with the following priority:
1. An autoexec.bat fi le stored in a memory card, provided the card
was inserted in the printer before startup.
2. An autoexec.bat fi le stored in the read/write part of the printer's
permanent memory (device "c:").
3. The pup.bat fi le (Intermec Shell) in the read-only part of the
printer's permanent memory (device "rom:").
If you insert a memory card that contains a startup fi le before
you switch on the printer, this startup fi le will be used instead
of Intermec Shell.
Some applications may require one or two electronic keys to be
inserted in the slot in the rear plate.
Insert the key so the fl at side faces the center of the slot. It does not
matter if the key is fi tted in the right or left position.
In case of two electronic keys, the flat sides should face each
other.
Always switch off the power before inserting or removing an
electronic key.
