UBI Shell is a so called startup program (also called "autoexec-
file"), i.e. a program that automatically starts running when the
printer is turned on. UBI Shell helps the operator to choose between
a number of standard or custom-made application programs and to
start certain useful facilities, as listed below.
Application Programs
• UBI LabelShop
• UBI Windows Driver (for printing from Windows programs)
• UBI Macintosh Driver (for printing from Macintosh programs)
• UBI Fingerprint
• UBI Direct Protocol (easy-to-use slave protocol)
• Line Analyzer
• Other application programs in the printer's memory
Other Facilities
• Terminal Setup
• Setup Mode
• Print Setup
• Testfeed
• Test Label
• Ser-Com Reset
• Clear RAM Memory (erasing the printer's RAM memory)
• Reboot
There can be one startup file stored in each of the following parts of
the printer's memory: RAM, ROM, and memory cards. If there are
startup files stored in more than one place, they will be used with the
following priority:
1. Dos-formatted memory cards (SRAM).
2. Printer's RAM memory.
3. Non DOS-formatted memory cards (SRAM or OTPROM).
4. Printer's ROM memory, e.g. the configuration EPROM's.
This implies that if you e.g. have UBI Shell stored in the printer's
configuration EPROM's and insert a memory card with another
startup file before you turn on the printer, the startup file of the
memory card will be used.
