• Software Update (downloading data from a host to a
CompactFlash card in the printer, upgrading the printer's
firmware from a Compact- Flash card, or upgrading the
printer's firmware from a file in a PC)
• Reboot (restarting the printer)
Note: Intermec Shell is factory-installed in the printer's
permanent memory (device "/rom"). If you insert a memory card
with another startup file before you switch on the printer, or if
there is a startup file stored in the printer's permanent memory
(device "/c"), this startup file will be used instead of Intermec
Shell (see "Startup Files" on page
A few seconds after you have switched on the power to the
printer and the initialization is completed, the countdown menu
of the Intermec Shell program will be displayed:
ENTER=SHELL
5 sec. v.8.1
Now you have 5 seconds to enter Intermec Shell by pressing
Enter. The lower line tells you how much time you have left.
Should the time run out before you have taken any action, the
last selected application in Intermec Shell will be opened. If you
use the same application all the time, you will only need to switch
on the power, once the application has been selected.
If no other application has yet been selected, the current version
of Intermec Fingerprint will be opened with "auto" selected as std
I/O channel (see Intermec Fingerprint manuals). When the
countdown is completed, you will see these lines in the display:
FINGERPRINT
8.20
If you want to select another application, just cycle the power and
enter Intermec Shell before the countdown is completed.
