PA30 Print Engine User's Manual
Chapter 6 — Using the Intermec Shell Program
downloaded from a PC to a standard CompactFlash card
inserted in the PA30 memory card slot.
A typical application is to create a firmware upgrade card from
an upgrade file stored in a PC. You can use the card to
upgrade the firmware in several PA30s simply by moving the
card from print engine to print engine. Just insert the card,
switch on the power, and follow the prompts that appear in
the PA30 display.
• Update firmware is used to directly upgrade the firmware of a
specific PA30 from a new firmware version stored as a file in a
PC. Firmware upgrade files can be found on
www.intermec.com and can also be obtained from your local
Intermec distributor.
If the CompactFlash card or upgrade file contains an
earlier firmware version than the one in the PA30, the
firmware will be downgraded without warning.
Reboot
Cycles power to the PA30. To exit Intermec Shell without
choosing an application, select Reboot. Then wait for the 5
seconds countdown to finish, and the last selected application
starts.
The Line Analyzer (LINE_AXP.PRG) is a program written in the
Intermec Fingerprint programming language and is intended to
help solve communication problems. As the name implies, the
Line Analyzer captures all incoming characters on a specified
communication channel and prints them on one or more labels.
Printable characters are printed in black-on-white, whereas
control characters and space characters (ASCII 000–032 dec.) are
printed in white-on-black.
While the printer is receiving data, the Status LED blinks. There
is a 0.5 second time out before the program considers the
transmission terminated and prints out a label.
