Non-FFS Partitions

Non-FFS Partitions include additional software and data pre-loaded on your terminal that
can be upgraded. Unlike FFS Partitions, these partitions are not visible when the operating
system is running. They also contain system information. Non-FFS Partitions include the
following:
• Windows CE: the complete Windows CE operating system is stored on Flash
devices. If necessary, the entire OS image may be downloaded to the terminal
using files provided by Symbol. Any upgrades must be obtained from Symbol. This
partition is mandatory for the terminal.
• Splash Screen: a bitmap smaller than 16 Kb, displayed as the terminal cold-boots.
You may download a customized screen to display (see
the Terminal).
• IPL (Initial Program Loader): This program interfaces with the host computer and
allows you to download any or all of the partitions listed above, as well as updated
versions of IPL. Use caution downloading updated IPL versions; incorrect
downloading of an IPL causes permanent damage to your terminal. IPL is
mandatory for the terminal.
• Partition Table: Identifies where each partition is loaded in the terminal.
