Intermec EasyCoder F4 – Installation & Operation Ed. 3 67
Chapter 9
Intermec Shell is a startup program (also called “autoexec-fi le”),
which is a program that automatically 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 LabelShop (WYSIWYG label design program)
• Intermec Windows Driver (for printing Windows programs)
• Intermec Fingerprint (for creating your own programs)
• Intermec Direct Protocol (easy-to-use slave protocol)
• LINE_AXP.PRG (line analyzer program)
• Other application programs in the printer’s memory

Other Facilities
• Setup Mode (manual setup from printer’s keyboard)
• Print Setup (printing setup on label)
• Testfeed (formfeeds + auto-adjust of the LSS)
• Test Label (printing of test labels)
• Default setup (resetting all setup parameters to default)
• Update PC card (downloading data from a computer
to a PC card inserted in the printer, or
upgrading the printer’s fi rmware from
a PC card)
• Reboot (restarting the printer)
Intermec Shell is factory-installed in the printer’s permanent
memory (device "rom:"). If you insert a memory card with another
startup fi le before you switch on the printer, or if there is a startup
fi le stored in the printer’s permanent memory (device "c:"), this
startup fi le will be used instead of Intermec Shell (see Chapter
4, “Startup Files.”)
