downloaded from a PC to a standard CompactFlash card 
inserted in the memory card slot in the printer’s rear plate.
A typical application is to create a firmware upgrade card from 
an upgrade file stored in a PC. You can use the card to 
upgrade the firmware in several printers simply by moving the 
card from printer to printer. Just insert the card, switch on the 
power, and wait from the prompts to appear in the printer’s 
display window.
Update firmware is used to directly upgrade the firmware of a 
specific printer from a new firmware version stored as a file in a 
PC. If the printer is equipped with an EasyLAN Ethernet or 
Wireless board, the user must have access rights to upgrade the 
firmware, see theEasyLAN User’s Guide for the Ethernet or 
Wireless board.
Firmware upgrade files can be found on www.intermec.com or be 
obtained from your local Intermec distributor.
Reboot
Corresponds to cycling the power to the printer. To exit Intermec 
Shell without having selected any application, select Reboot. 
Then wait for the 5 seconds countdown to finish, and the last 
selected application will be opened.
If the CompactFlash card or upgrade file contains an earlier 
firmware version than the one in the printer, the printer’s 
firmware will be downgraded without warning.
