The Intermec Shell program automatically starts when the PA30
boots. Once you enter the shell program, you can run a standard
or custom application, or perform several test and maintenance
tasks as described next.
If you do not enter the shell program, the PA30 finishes
initialization and enters standard operating mode.
To run Intermec Shell
1 Turn on power to the PA30. After initialization is completed,
the countdown menu of the Intermec Shell program appears
in the display:
ENTER=SHELL
5 sec. v.8.2
2 Before the counter reaches 0, press Enter to start Intermec
Shell.
Note: 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.
When you enter the Intermec Shell from the countdown menus,
the Select Application menu appears:
SHELL
SEL. APPLICATION
In this menu, you can choose between two options:
• Press Enter to go to the application menu. For more
information, see "Selecting an Application" on page 89.
• Press the right arrow key to go to the Facilities part of
Intermec Shell. For more information, see
Facility" on page 90.
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 is used instead of Intermec Shell.
