Starting Up

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-manag-
ing program, which allows the operator to choose between a
variety of applications and functions.
B In addition to Intermec Shell, the printer is also fi tted with
a custom-made application program that is design to perform
a specifi 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:
1. An autoexec.bat fi le stored in a memory card, provided the
card was inserted in the printer before power up.
2. An autoexec.bat fi le stored in the read/write part of the
printer's permanent memory (device "c:").
3. The pup.bat fi le (Intermec Shell) in the read-only part of the
printer's permanent memory (device "rom:").
If you insert a 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.
