APPTSK.BIN. You can use APPTSK.BIN to scan, enter, transmit, and 
display data. 

This application emulates a subset of the functionality available on the 
Intermec 95XX terminals, such as the 9512 and 9560. You can use 
EM9560.BIN to scan, enter, transmit, and display data. 

APPTSK.BIN and EM9560.BIN include these features: 

•  Works with any protocol that is supported on the terminal. Both the 

terminal and the device you are communicating with must use the same 
protocol (serial, Ethernet, or RF) and parameter settings. 

•  Sends scanned or keyboard data out all serial, Ethernet, or RF ports. 

•  Buffers the keyboard data until you press ;. 

•  Receives data from any serial, Ethernet, or RF port, displays the data on 

the terminal screen, and parses the data for commands. 

•  Receives data through any serial port and transmits it out the Ethernet 

or RF port. 

•  Receives data through the Ethernet or RF port and transmits it out all 

serial ports. 

•  (APPTSK.BIN only) Displays the time and date, which can be toggled 

on and off. 

The main difference between the two applications is that you can use the 
EM9560.BIN application to emulate specific functions of the 95XXs. 

With the EM9560.BIN application, you can use the programmable 
terminal as a remote input/output terminal in which all prompts and 
commands are controlled by the host computer. With this application, the 
terminal is similar to a 95XX in Data Entry mode with no application 
running.  

 

Note: For the 95XXs, Data Entry mode with no application running is 
also referred to as an unprogrammed state or 95XX dumb terminal mode. 

EM9560.BIN lets you use the terminal to emulate these specific 95XX 
features: 

•  An Enter key without any preceding data transmits an empty data 

packet. 

•  The terminal display is similar to, but not identical to, the 9560 

buffered display mode. 

•  All function keys transmit the corresponding characters 

F1

, 

F2

, and so 

on.
