About Startup Files

When you turn on the PA30, the print engine startup file
(autoexec.bat) determines what application runs at startup time.
By default, autoexec.bat runs the Intermec Shell file managing
program, which allows you to choose from a variety of
applications and functions. For more information, see Chapter 6,
"Using the Intermec Shell Program."
You can also configure autoexec.bat to run a custom application
you have stored in the print engine permanent memory. For
more information, see the next section, "About Startup Files."
To start the PA30
1 Make sure you have correctly connected the PA30 to the
applicator. For more information, see
on page 9.
2 Press the power switch. The Power LED on the front panel
turns on and stays on. As the PA30 boots, the print engine
loads its startup file and runs self-diagnostic tests.
3 If you have configured the startup file to run a custom
application, the application starts.
• If you are not using a custom application, the PA30 starts
the Intermec Shell startup program. For more
information, see Chapter 6, "Using the Intermec Shell
Program."
• If you are not using a custom application, and do not
enter the Intermec Shell startup program, the printer
finishes initialization and this text appears in the display:
The PA30 is now ready to use.
There can be one startup file stored in each of three different
parts of the print engine memory. If more than one startup file
exists, the print engine determines which startup file to use based
on the file's location:
