General Instructions

The Export Bar Code Scanner Settings screen automatically creates/updates a Costpoint file named "CPFABC.INI," which you can download directly into the Intermec scanner using the Intermec FileCopy Utility.

The download supplies the base information from which the scan can be performed.

Under normal circumstances, you will use the Export Bar Code Scanner Settings screen one time only at initialization to create the initial CPFABC.INI file. You do not need to re-create the CPFABC.INI file again unless you make edits to the Location 1, 2, or 3 code labels and/or functionality in Costpoint Fixed Assets or you want to change the Scan By selection parameter (Asset No or Tag No).

You must use Intermec's FileCopy Utility to manage the download and upload of data between Costpoint Fixed Assets and the Intermec scanner. Intermec's FileCopy Utility is NOT automatically included with the purchase of the scanning hardware from Intermec, but you can download it at no charge from Intermec's web site.

  • If you are using Intermec models 2410 or 2415, download the following files from your computer to the scanner using Intermec's FileCopy Utility.
    CPFABC.INI This file, which is created as a result of saving the Export Bar Code Scanner Settings screen, transfers the scan parameters into the scanner.
    CPFA2410.BIN This file, which has already been created by Deltek developers, is the executable program that controls the operation of the scanner.
  • If you are using Intermec models 2420 or 2425, download the following files from your computer to the scanner using Intermec's FileCopy Utility.
    CPFABC.INI This file, which is created as a result of saving the Export Bar Code Scanner Settings screen, contains the scan parameters to be used by the scanner.
    CPFA2410.BIN This file, which has already been created by Deltek developers, is the executable program that controls the operation of the scanner.

    When you use Intermec's FileCopy Utility, the scanner must be connected to your computer with the scanner power turned on.

    Please read the Intermec documentation regarding required setup procedures before using their FileCopy Utility function.
