2. GETTING STARTED, cont'd.
Continued!
Check that the printhead is lowered. Turn on the main switch, which
usually is fitted on the printer's rear plate and check that the “Power”
control lamp comes on. Then watch the display window. What
happens next depends on what kind of startup file there is in the
printer.
WARNING!
Make sure that any paper cutter is locked in closed position.
The cutter may be activated when the power is turned on!
After a short while, when the printer has performed certain self-
diagnostic tests and loaded the startup program, a countdown menu
will usually be displayed:
ENTER=SHELL or PRINT=SHELL
5 sec. v.4.01 5. sec. v.4.01
These menus indicate that the printer is fitted with one of the Shell
startup programs (standard or enhanced). Wait until the 5 seconds
countdown is completed. Then, by default, this menu will be
displayed:
Fingerprint
6.13
This or similar messages indicates that the printer has entered the
immediate mode of Fingerprint, where you can start your program-
ming. Please proceed at chapter 2.10.
If the Shell countdown menus are shown, but are followed by any
other message than “Intermec Fingerprint 6.xx”, some other
application has already been selected in Shell. Refer to the Intermec
Shell Startup Manuals for information on how to select the Finger-
print option.
If the following menu is displayed after power-up, the printer is
fitted with the Stand-Alone program (also indicated by the special
keyboard on the printer):
Select Mode
1:Run 2:Set
You can break the Stand-Alone program and enter the immediate
mode of Fingerprint by pressing the <C> + <Pause> keys (Easy-
Coder 201 IISA), or <Shift> + <Pause> keys (EasyCoder 501 SA),
and then enter the password 1138. The printer will enter the
immediate mode with the communication parameters reset to
default values. Proceed at chapter 2.10.
