Selecting an Application

PA30 Print Engine User's Manual
Chapter 6 — Using the Intermec Shell Program
In Intermec Shell, the menus present the options in infinite
loops, To see all menus and options, refer to the overview in this
chapter. The Select application lets you choose from applications
in the print engine memory:
• Current appl. starts the last selected application (default is
Intermec Fingerprint with "auto" selected as standard IN/
OUT channel).
• Fingerprint is used to create, modify, or run programs
written in the Intermec Fingerprint programming language
and to run the Intermec InterDriver. This option requires that
you also select a standard IN/OUT channel, which is the
channel to use for communication between the printer and
the computer (typically "uart1:"). For more information, see
the Intermec Fingerprint v8.xx Programmer's Reference Manual.
• Direct Protocol is an easy-to-use printer protocol for
downloading label formats and variable input data to a printer
from a host computer. This option requires that you also
select a standard IN/OUT channel (the serial channel to use
for communication between the printer and the host,
typically "uart1:"). For more information, see the Intermec
Direct Protocol v8.xx Programmer's Reference Manual.
• LINE-AXP.PRG (Line Analyzer) is a Fingerprint program
that captures characters received by the printer on a
communication channel and prints them on labels. For more
information, see "About Line Analyzer" on page 91.
• Other applications appear as additional options. For a custom
application to appear in this menu, the program must have
the extension ".PRG" and be stored in the root of the
directory "/c" or "card1:". These Intermec utilities are
excluded as long as they remain stored in "/rom":
• ERRHAND.PRG
• FILELIST.PRG
• LBLSHTXT.PRG
• MKAUTO.PRG
• SHELLXP.PRG
