In Intermec Shell, the options are presented in stacks of menus,
organized as infinite loops, where you can select the desired option,
as illustrated by the diagram below.
Select Application
The Select application option allows you to enter a stack of menus
showing the various application programs in the printer's memory.
• Current appl. starts the last selected application (by default
Intermec Fingerprint with "uart1:" selected as std I/O channel).
• Intermec LabelShop sets up the printer
LabelShop label design programs for Microsoft Windows. This
option requires that you also select a std IN/OUT channel, i.e. the
channel you want to use for communication between the printer
and the computer. Refer to the Intermec LabelShop manuals.
• Intermec Windows Driver selects the parallel interface
"centronics:" as standard IN/OUT channel and sets up the printer
for the various Intermec Windows Drivers, which you can use on
a personal computer to produce printouts from almost any
program run under Microsoft Windows.
• Intermec Fingerprint is used to create, modify or run programs
written in the Intermec Fingerprint programming language. This
option requires that you also select a standard IN/OUT channel,
i.e. the channel you want to use for communication between the
printer and the computer (normally "uart1:"). For programming,
do not use the parallel "centronics:" channel (one-way com-
