The computer contains a program called AutoRun.exe which
automates operations such as launching other processes. You can
configure AutoRun.exe through the AutoRun data file, AutoRun.dat.
For compatibility with other Intermec computers, you can place a
copy of AutoRun.exe in the same folder as your AutoRun.dat file but
it is not required.
To create and install the AutoRun.dat file on your computer
1 Create a folder called System on your CN3.
2 Open the Notepad application on your PC.
3 Write commands for AutoRun.dat using the supported AutoRun
script commands.
4 Save the Notepad file as AutoRun.dat.
5 Copy the AutoRun.dat file to the System folder on the CN3.
During every boot, the system scans for AutoRun.dat in the
System folder.
AutoRun supports the following script commands in AutoRun.dat:
AutoRun Script Commands

(up to 10 minutes)
CALL Processes a specified file of commands and returns.

system (OS) and the SmartSystems Platform Bundle (SSPB) files.
