Customizing How Applications Load on the CN30 Computer
If you have several processes that you need running in a specific order as the
CN30 Computer turns on, you can use the AutoRun system to customize
the way applications load. For compatibility with other Intermec comput-
ers, you can place a copy of AUTORUN.EXE in the same folder as your
AUTORUN.DAT file but it is not required.
