Intermec ck1 User Guide

The CK1 runs applications programmed in C under Windows 
2000. You can use the CK1 software development kit (SDK) or 
MCL Designer to create your applications. 

The CK1 is a Linux-based operating system. Linux does not use 
extensions on file names. When you create applications, you do 
not need to add an extension such as .bin or .exe.  

For the latest version of the SDK, contact your Intermec sales 
representative. For information on the SDK, see the CK1 SDK 
Programmer’s Reference Manual.  

The MCL Designer is available at intermec.mcl-collection.com. 
For information on the MCL Designer, go to intermec.mcl-
collection.com, click Download > Manuals, and select the 
MCL designer user’s manual. 

There are three ways to load an application, depending on how 
you developed the application: 

•  If you are using the CK1 SDK, use the SDK to load the 

application. For help, see the CK1 SDK Programmer’s 
Reference Manual. Once the SDK has finished loading the 
application, you can use the application on the CK1. 

•  If you are using the MCL Designer, use the MCL Designer to 

load the application. For help, see the online help and manual 
for MCL Designer. After MCL Designer loads the 
application, the application starts on your CK1. 

•  If you use a different development tool, use FTP to load the 

application or file. For help, see the following procedure. 

1  Configure the CK1 to communicate through a PPP 

connection with your PC. For help, see “Configuring PPP 
Communications” on page 61. 

2  Connect the serial dock (P/N 073665) to your PC and to AC 

power. For help, see the CK1 Serial Dock Quick Start Guide.
