Click Explore to access the Mobile Device folder on your unit.

From your desktop, select Start > Windows Explorer, then browse the
“C:\Intermec\700C Mgmt Tools\CabFiles” path for any CAB files
needed for your 700 Color Computer. Select the appropriate file, right-
click the file for a pop-up menu, then select Copy.

5

Within the Mobile Device directory, go to the directory where you
want the files located on the 700 Color Computer, do a right-click for a
pop-up menu, then select Paste.

When all of the files are pasted, perform a warm-boot on the 700 Color
Computer. When the computer reboots, wait for the LED on the top
left of your keypad to stop blinking. Tap Start > Programs > File
Explorer
to locate the newly copied executable files, then tap these files
to activate their utilities.

Using the FTP Server

The 700 Color Computer has a built-in FTP Server that connects to a net-
work via Ethernet, 802.11b, or WAN (Wireless Access Network). This
allows connections to the 700 Color Computer to perform file transfers or
computer management functions. Another benefit is you can create FTP
scripts to automate the process of copying files to the 700 Color Comput-
er. This option is good for when a large number of 700 Color Computers
need updating. See Chapter 7, “Programming,” for more information.

Using a Storage Card

Use the following steps to install an application using a storage card:

Copying to a CompactFlash Card

Note: These instructions do not apply to the 730 Computer.

1

Suspend the 700 Color Computer and remove its CompactFlash drive,
which holds a SanDisk CompactFlash storage card.

2

Using a CompactFlash Adapter card, place the CompactFlash drive in
your desktop PC card drive.

3

Create a subdirectory on the PCMCIA CompactFlash drive in which to
store your application.

4

Use the CEImager application to add the autorun system to the storage
card. See the Software Tools User’s Manual to learn about CEImager.

5

Copy your application, data files, and all required DLLs and drivers to
the subdirectory created on the CompactFlash drive.

6

Add your application to the AUTOUSER.DAT file on the
“\Storage Card\2577” directory with the following statement:

RUN=\<your directory>\<yourapp.exe>

where your directory is the directory on the CompactFlash storage card
where the application was installed, and yourapp.exe is the name of your
application. Finish the “RUN=” statement with a carriage return line-
feed combination. There may be multiple run statements in the file.
