Startup Files

When the printer is switched on, its behavior depends on the existence of
a startup fi le (autoexec.bat) in its memory. There are two cases:
A The printer is only fi tted with the Intermec Shell fi le-managing
program, which allows the operator to choose between a variety of
applications and functions.
B In addition to Intermec Shell, the printer may also be provided with a
custom-made application program that is design to perform a spe-
cifi c task, for example to print tickets, baggage tags, or product labels
for a certain company. Such a program may be initiated by a startup
fi le (autoexec.bat) stored in the printer's permanent memory or in a
memory card.
There can be one startup fi le stored in each of three different parts of the
printer's memory. If there are startup fi les stored in more than one part,
only one will be used with the following priority:
An autoexec.bat fi le stored in a memory card, provided the card was
1
inserted in the printer before the power was switched on.
An autoexec.bat fi le stored in the read/write part of the printer's per-
2
manent memory (device "/c").
The pup.bat fi le (Intermec Shell) in the read-only part of the printer's
3
permanent memory (device "/rom").
Note: If you insert a CompactFlash memory card that contains
a startup fi le before you switch on the printer, this startup fi le
will be used instead of Intermec Shell.
