Intermec 6100 Reference Guide

R

With edition 1.4, the alphabetical index for the interrupts is removed from the

end of the Conversions and Interrupts section, and relocated to the end of the InĆ

dex section, primarily because we changed to another desktop publishing proĆ

gram, which causes extra maintenance for an index to exist somewhere other

than the Index section.  The title of that index is now: Interrupt Index, and is loĆ

cated at the very end of the book so you can easily find it.
With edition 1.4, the Interrupt Reference Table" was relocated to the Index"

section, under Interrupt Index".  With edition 2.0, it was then reorganized so

you can find interrupts (alphabetically) by topic.  The original order was by verb,

which I discovered was totally useless.

This material is moved to the Getting Started section, since it is similar to the

types of information contained in that section.

When the 6100 Programmer's Reference Guide was first developed from the origiĆ

nal PEN*KEY Programmer's Reference Guide, a review by some representatives

of various Intermec departments agreed the organization needed to be changed.

Comments from readers (of the original manual) seemed to confirm that informaĆ

tion was hard to find.

This information is removed from the Getting Started section and relocated to

Appendix A, because it constitutes information to which statements in several

different paragraphs need to refer.  It also simplified the task of updating this

information with each new edition.

This information is collected from several places in the book and relocated to ApĆ

pendix B.  This is necessary to preserve it from extinction.  New users still need

some of this information.  And placing it in the back of the book prevents experiĆ

enced PEN*KEY users from tripping over it.

The following shows how this publication is structured.  The topics listed below

consist of the actual names of the sections in this publication:

"

Getting Started - contains information to help you to become familiar

with the 6100 Computer.  It describes the 6100 open system environment,

the Tool Kit, tips for getting started, how to reprogram flash memory, how

to setup for development from the PC, and some development environments

and resources.

"

ported for the 6100 Computer, as well as printing and power management
