Chapter —Program Instructions
DEVICES, cont.
console: is the printer’s display and keyboard. The keyboard can be used
for input only and the display for output only.
dll: is used for special applications only.
finisher: is the device controlling the finisher interface, where for instance
a cutter can be connected.
lock: is an electronic key items that has been specified as locks by means of
special software. An electronic key may contain several key items with different
properties (counter, lock, or storage). The device name calls all key
items with the corresponding properties. Each key item has a 4-character
name, usually appended by a delimiter (?) and a 4-character password. Also
see OPEN statement.
net1: is the communication channel for an EasyLAN interface board.
par: is used for special applications only.
rom: or /rom/ is both the read-only kernel sectors in the Boot-Bank flash
SIMM, and any resource files on a CompactFlash memory card inserted in
the printer’s memory card adapter. It supports file system with directories.
rs485: is used in connection with RS-485 point-to-point or multidrop
communication to specify that the RS-485 protocol is used and to specify
the protocol address of the unit, for example "rs485:23".
storage: is all electronic key items in the printer that has been specified as
storages by means of special software. Note that this memory is comparatively
slow.
tmp: is the printer’s temporary read/write memory (SDRAM SIMMs).
It will lose its content when the power is turned off or at a power failure.
Thus, do not use SDRAM for valuable data that cannot be recreated, but
copy it to "/c/". One advantage of using "tmp:" instead of "/c" is that data
can be written to SDRAM faster than to the flash memory. To speed up
operation, the Intermec Fingerprint firmware (except program modules
with dynamic downloading) is copied from "/rom/" to "tmp:" at startup
and used from "tmp:".
uart1: is the standard RS-232 port.
uart2: is an additional serial port on an optional interface board.
uart3: is an additional serial port on an optional interface board.
uart4: is an additional serial port on an optional interface board.
uart5: is an additional serial port on an optional interface board.
usb1: is the standard USB (Universal Serial Bus) port.
wand: is any input from an Code 128 bar code not containing any FNC3
character via a bar code wand or reader connected to the wand interface.
