The Trakker Antares

®

 terminals ship loaded with a terminal emulation 

application or a sample application. If you ordered the DOS option, the 
terminal also ships with the necessary DOS files you need to run DOS 
applications. 

You can also develop your own data collection applications for the 
terminal and download the applications to the terminal. After you 
download an application to the terminal, you are ready to run the 
application and use it. This chapter describes how to: 

•  develop applications for the terminals. For help, see “Creating 

Applications for the Terminal” on page 48.  

•  download applications and files to the programmable terminals. For 

help, see “How to Download Applications” on page 53. 

•  run applications on the terminals. For help, see “Running Applications 

on the Terminal” on page 65. 

 

Note: This chapter describes how to create, download, and run DOS 
applications. To use DOS on the Trakker Antares terminal, you must 
order the DOS option. For help, contact your local Intermec 
representative. 

The next table lists specifications and technical information you need to
