mail server connection enables messages to be downloaded
from your mail server to the Inbox on your device. When you
select Services> Connect to Inbox, the Inbox starts a remote
connection using the connection you specified when setting up
the current mail service. If you are already connected through a
remote connection other than the one you specified in the service, you will be asked if you want to use the current connection. If you choose not to, you will need to disconnect from the
current connection before you can check for new messages.
Select the Services menu and make sure that the service you
want to use is selected (the selected service has a bullet next to
it).
Select Services> Connect. The messages on your device and
mail server are synchronized: new messages are downloaded to
the device Inbox folder, messages in the device Outbox folder
are sent, and messages that have been deleted on the server are
removed from the device Inbox. Double-tap a message list to
open it.
If you read a message and decide that you need a full copy,
select File> Get Full Copy while in the message window or

Explanation
Maximum time (in milliseconds) that the imager
attempts to decode before declaring a “No Decode”
condition. If attempting to decode using the trigger key,
the imager quits decode attempts even if the trigger key
remains depressed. A new decode using the trigger
can only begin after the trigger is released. The timeout
also applies to the decode operation of the imaging
technology. The Timeout range is 0, meaning no timeout, (i.e., infinite) to 300,000.
Enables/Disables multiple symbols decoding. Normally
the imager stops attempting to decode when a bar
code symbol is decoded. In multiple symbols mode, the
imager does not stop until the trigger is released or a
“No Decode” timeout occurs. The same bar code will
not be read again until the current decoding stops.

When this item is selected, the imager is queried
for the current firmware version information. The
Firmware Revision
version information is then displayed in the text
window.
This item allows new engine firmware to be
installed into the imager. When Flash New
Firmware is selected, a prompt to select the firmware file appears. The file, which must have the
extension “.bin”, must reside on the PDT. The
firmware file can be copied to the PDT using
Microsoft Explorer as long as the PDT is linked to
the PC via Microsoft's Active Sync. The default
search location is the My Documents folder. Once
a file is selected, the file is transferred to the
Flash New Firmware
engine. The engine then writes the new firmware
into flash memory and re-initializes. The flashing
of the firmware and subsequent restart takes
approximately 30 seconds. The application
insures that the unit does not enter suspend
mode during that time.
Note: It is very important that the device remains
awake during this time. Failure to do so can
cause the scan engine to become unusable.

The scanner reads barcode data with
a check digit. If not checked, the
barcode will be read as though no
check digit was present.
The scanner will only read Interleaved
2 of 5 barcodes printed with a check
digit, and will transmit this character at
the end of the scanned data. This
setting is only valid if check char/digit
is enabled.

The imager is able to read machine readable fonts used in optical character recognition (OCR). The imager can read from 6 to 60 point OCR typeface.

SEMI Font
Either select an OCR default, or create a custom template for the type of
OCR format intended to read. (See “OCR Templates” to create a custom
“template” or character string that defines the length and content of OCR
strings to be read with the imager.)
Note: Setting the template and check character options are essential for
OCR reading.
OCR Off turns off all OCR capability in the scanner, so the scanner will
be able to scan linear, stacked, matrix, and composite bar codes, but not
OCR fonts. In addition, any OCR templates previously created are erased.
The 8 digit default templates are reinstated for any future use of the OCRA, OCR-B, or U.S. Currency fonts.
If OCR-A, OCR-B, or U.S. Currency are selected, it is possible to scan
characters in that font. The default setting allows scanning of any 8 digit
combination. If creating an OCR template, character combinations that fit
the template can be scanned. (see Creating an OCR Template).
OCR Direction
The OCR Direction setting helps to prevent misreading of character
strings that could be interpreted differently in unique orientations if the
orientation of the characters being read is specific in relation to the position of the imager; for example, “80086996” can read as “80086996” or
“96698008.” The default is Left-to-Right, (LtoR).

A.3.15.1 OCR Templates
A custom “template,” or character string defines the length and content of
OCR strings that will be read with the imager. Several choices are available when creating a custom template for the application. Create a template for a single format, string together several formats, or you can create
a template for a user-defined variable. These choices are described in
more detail below.
A.3.15.2 Creating an OCR Template
A single template programs the imager to read any combination of characters in the specified order. Refer to examples according to the Template
Characters table below.
Template Characters
Represents any alphanumeric character (digit or letter)
Represents a check character position
Represents any digit
Represents any available OCR character
Represents character from user-defined variable “g”
Represents character from user-defined variable “h”
Represents any uppercase letter
Marks the start of a new template
Multi row indicator
All other characters represent themselves. Spaces can be used.
Note: In MICR E13 B templates, TOAD characters (capital letters T, O, A,
and D), represent Transit, On Us, Amount, and Dash.
Note: OCR templates default to eight digits, no check character.
177
Appendix A
A.3.15.3 To Add an OCR Template
There are four main steps required for creating an OCR template. Below
them follows detailed descriptions and examples of specific situations
that require precise programming of the coding strings.
1.
2.
3.
4.
Turn on the OCR font to be read.
Begin building the template.
Scan the Enter OCR Template symbol.
Scan the characters for the string.
Exit OCR Template Editor
Scan Save OCR Template to save your entries. Discard OCR
Template exits without saving any OCR Template changes.
A.3.15.4 Scanning Characters
Use the Template Characters chart to determine what characters are
needed to create the required format. Use the OCR Programming Chart
(after the Sample Codes in the back of this manual) to scan the characters
for the template.
Example: It is required to read any combination of eight digits. The
template should be:
To create this template, first enable the OCR-A font. Scan the Enter
OCR Template symbol, and then scan the d from the OCR Programming
Chart in the back of this manual eight times. Scan Save OCR Template.
This would let you read any string of eight digits, for example:
A.3.15.5 Character Match Sequences
On the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), page A-4, find the
Hex value that represents the character(s) to match. Use the Programming
Chart (inside the back cover) to scan the numbers that represent these
characters.
Example: It is required to read three digits, three specific characters like
“ABC” and then three more digits.
MARS-1030F User Manual
178
The template would be:
To create this template, enable the OCR-A font. Scan the Enter OCR
Template symbol. Scan the d from the OCR Programming Chart three
times. Then scan 414243 from the inside back cover (the hex characters
for “A,” “B,” and “C”), and scan the d three more times. Scan Save OCR
Template.
This would read any string of three digits, then “ABC,” then any string of
three digits, for example:
A.3.15.6 Adding Spaces
You may also need to put spaces in your template.
Example: You need to read three digits, space, three specific characters,
like “ABC,” a space, and three more digits. The template would be:
To create this template, enable the OCR-A font. Scan the Enter OCR
Template symbol. Scan the d from the OCR Programming Chart three
times, and then scan 2041424320 from the Programming Chart (the hex
characters for “space,” “A,” “B,” “C,” “space”). Scan the d three more
times, and then scan Save OCR Template. This program will read any
string of three digits, space, “ABC,” space, and then any string of three
digits. For example:
Note: If using Quick * View to program, use the space bar to designate a
space and not the hex value of 20.
179
Appendix A
A.3.15.7 Stringing Together Multiple Formats (Creating
“Or” Statements)
To program the imager to accept and recognize many OCR formats, it is
necessary to string together each format beginning with a “t.” This unit
commands the imager to read optical characters that match any one of the
formats in the template.
Example: To read any combination of eight digits, or a combination of
four digits, two uppercase letters, and two digits.
The template would be:
To create this template, enable the OCR-A font. Scan the Enter OCR
Template symbol. Scan the d from the OCR Programming Chart eight
times, then scan the t to create the “or” statement. Then scan the characters for the second template. Scan d four times, scan l two times, then
scan d two more times. Scan Save OCR Template. This would let you
read either type of format, for example:
It is possible to string together as many templates as are required.
