Intermec 2430 User Guide

 

Description:  Transmits a file from the terminal through the serial port and saves it on 

the host computer. 

On the host, you must receive the file using a serial communications 
package (for example, Windows 3.1 Terminal, Win95 HyperTerminal, 
Crosstalk, or ProComm) that supports one of these protocols: 

• XMODEM 

• XMODEM-1K 

• YMODEM 

XMODEM-1K is a version of XMODEM that supports 1024-byte blocks 
as well as the standard 128-byte XMODEM data blocks, which increases 
the throughput. YMODEM has the additional ability to transfer a file 
name with the file’s data, and it preserves the length of the file without 
padding. 

 

Note: Trakker Antares filenames are up to eight characters with a three-
character extension. Files you transfer from the host must use the Trakker 
Antares naming conventions.
