At startup, the behaviour of the printer is decided by the possible
existence of a startup fi le (autoexec.bat) somewhere in the printer's
memory, i.e. a program that automatically starts running when the
printer is turned on. There are two cases:
The printer is only fi tted with the Intermec Shell fi le-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 fi tted with a
B
custom-made application program that is design to perform a
specifi c task, e.g. 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 different parts of
the printer's memory. If there are startup fi les stored in more than one
place, they will be used with the following priority:
1. An autoexec.bat fi le stored in any approved type of
memory card, provided it was inserted in the printer before
power up.
2. An autoexec.bat fi le stored in the user's part of the printer's
permanent memory (device "c:").
3. The pup.bat fi le (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 fi le
before you turn on the printer, the startup fi le 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 fl at side faces
the centre 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.
Important!
Always turn off the power before inserting or removing an
electronic key.
