13. Saving the Program

Saving in Printer

When you are satisfied with the program, you can SAVE it in the

printer's RAM memory ("ram:") or in an optional DOS-formatted

memory card ("card1:"), see chapter 6.1. It is also recommended to

LIST the program back to the host and make backup copy, e.g. on

a floppy disk.

Naming the Program

When you save a program for the first time, you must give it a name

consisting of up to 30 characters including possible extension. If

you omit the extension, the software will add the extension “.PRG”

automatically. When naming the program, consider conventions

and restrictions imposed by the operating system of the host, e.g.

MS-DOS.

The following names are used for standard Fingerprint programs

and should not be used:

• AUTOEXEC.BAT (Startup program)

• DISPSET2.PRG (Setup for printers w/o keyboard)

• ERRHAND.PRG (Standard error-handler)

• FILELIST.PRG (Lists content of a file)

• LBLSHTXT.PRG (Used for Intermec LabelShop)

• LSHOPDEF.SUP (Default Setup for Intermec LabelShop)

• MKAUTO.PRG (Creates startup programs)

• PRSETUP.PRG (Prints current setup)

• SHELLEHD.PRG (Intermec Shell for Enhanced printers)

• SHELLSTD.PRG (Intermec Shell for printers w/o keyboard)

• UBIDEF.SUP (Fingerprint default setup)

• WIN1.PRG (Used for Intermec Windows Driver)

Examples:

SAVE "PROGRAM1"

saves the program as PROGRAM1.PRG in the current directory

(by default "ram:").

SAVE "card1:PROGRAM1.TXT"

saves the program as PROGRAM1.TXT in a DOS-formatted

memory card inserted in the printer's optional memory card

adapter.
