Chapter 8—Intermec Shell Startup Program

Introduction

Intermec Shell is a startup program, which is a program that automati- cally starts running when the printer is switched on. Intermec Shell helps the operator to choose between a number of standard or custom-made application programs and to start certain useful facilities, as listed below.

Application Programs

•Intermec Fingerprint (for creating your own programs or to run the Intermec InterDriver)

•Intermec Direct Protocol (easy-to-use slave protocol)

•LINE_AXP.PRG (line analyzer program)

•Other application programs in the printer’s memory.

A prerequisite for a program to appear as an option in Intermec Shell is that the program is provided with the extension “.PRG” and is stored in the root of the directory "/c" or "card1:". However, some original Intermec utility programs are excluded as long as they remain stored in "/rom":

-ERRHAND.PRG

-FILELIST.PRG

-LBLSHTXT.PRG

-MKAUTO.PRG

-SHELLXP.PRG

-WINXP.PRG
