Chapter 6 - Using the Intermec Shell Program downloaded from a PC to a standard CompactFlash card inserted in the PA30 memory card slot. 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 PA30s simply by moving the card from print engine to print engine. Just insert the card, switch on the power, and follow the prompts that appear in the PA30 display. • Update firmware is used to directly upgrade the firmware of a specific PA30 from a new firmware version stored as a file in a PC. Firmware upgrade files can be found on www.intermec.com and can also be obtained from your local Intermec distributor. If the CompactFlash card or upgrade file contains an earlier firmware version than the one in the PA30, the firmware will be downgraded without warning. Reboot Cycles power to the PA30. To exit Intermec Shell without choosing an application, select Reboot. Then wait for the 5 seconds countdown to finish, and the last selected application starts. About Line Analyzer The Line Analyzer (LINE_AXP.PRG) is a program written in the Intermec Fingerprint programming language and is intended to help solve communication problems. As the name implies, the Line Analyzer captures all incoming characters on a specified communication channel and prints them on one or more labels. Printable characters are printed in black-on-white, whereas control characters and space characters (ASCII 000-032 dec.) are printed in white-on-black. While the printer is receiving data, the Status LED blinks. There is a 0.5 second time out before the program considers the transmission terminated and prints out a label.
