Chapter 9 Intermec Shell Startup Program
Introduction, cont.
There can be one startup fi le stored in each of the following parts
of the printer’s memory: RAM, ROM, and a memory card inserted
in the printer’s optional memory card adapter. If there are startup
fi les stored in more than one place, they will be used with the
following priority:
1. DOS-formatted memory cards (SRAM).
2. Printer’s RAM memory.
3. Non DOS-formatted memory cards (SRAM or OTPROM).
4. Printer’s ROM memory, for example the configuration
EPROMs.
This implies that if you, for example, have Intermec Shell stored in
the printer’s confi guration EPROMs and insert a memory card with
another startup fi le before you switch on the printer, the startup fi le
of the memory card will be used.
EPROM = Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory
OTPROM = One-Time Programmable Read-Only Memory
RAM = Random Access Memory
ROM = Read-Only Memory
SRAM = Static Random Access Memory
