Chapter 8 — Intermec Shell Startup Program
74 EasyCoder PM4i Printer User’s Guide (Fingerprint Version)
Introduction
Intermec Shell is a startup program, 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 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
Other Facilities
• Setup Mode (manual setup from printer’s keyboard)
• Print Setup (printing setup on label)
• Testfeed (formfeeds and auto-adjust of the LSS)
• Test Label (printing of test labels)
• Default setup (resetting all setup parameters to default)
• Software Update (downloading data from a host to a
CompactFlash card in the printer, upgrading the printer’s
