If your Falcon has the 2D Imaging module installed, you can read and
decode traditional 1D linear bar codes, 2D and composite symbols.
You can also capture images such as signatures, labels, and other items.
See Bar Code Scanning with 2D Imager starting on page 33 for further information.
Using the Stylus
Never use a pen, pencil, or other sharp object on the Falcon’s touchscreen display. Use only the supplied stylus or plastic-tipped pens intended for use with a
touch-sensitive display. Contact your reseller to replace a missing stylus; refer to
the Datalogic Mobile website listed on the back cover of this manual.
The stylus is located next to the scanning pod as illustrated in Figure 10. The
stylus on the Falcon is the equivalent of the mouse on a PC. Use the stylus to:
• Navigate the touchscreen display.
• Select characters in the soft input panel (SIP).
• Select applications from the desktop or system tray.
• Select tabs, fields and text within applications and dialog boxes.

5. The device beeps and the green LED indicator comes on until the trigger is released. The green LED and the beep tone indicate a good read.
If the bar code scan failed, adjust the reading angle or distance. Make sure that
the laser beam scans across all bars of the bar code. Refer to Figure 20.
6. The bar code data is entered in the current application.
7. Once a bar code is read successfully, the scanner turns off automatically.
Refer to the section on Scanner Configuration in the PRG to modify the
default settings.
Bar Code Scanning with 2D Imager
Scanning bar codes with the 2D imaging device is similar to scanning with a
laser scanner. The operation and configuration of the scanner is performed in
the same way as laser scanning devices. Trigger behavior and scanning timeouts are the same as laser scanning devices.
Scanning Differences
Scanning Aimer
The imager contains an aiming beam rather than a red laser. The aiming beam
mimics a laser line for purposes of orienting the imager to a bar code. Figure
21 shows how the aiming beam visually differs from the laser beam in laser
scanning devices.
Figure 21. Laser vs. Imaging beam
Laser
Aiming Beam
Note that the aiming beam for the imager is green, rather than red.
Quick Reference Guide
33
Image Capture
Orientation
Rotational orientation does not affect the imager module's ability to read bar
codes. For example, the imager can read a bar code when the aimer beam is
parallel to the lines of the bar code. What is important is the location of the
aimer in relation to the center of the bar code. The aiming beam should be
centered over the bar code, but it can be positioned in any direction for a good
read.
Figure 22. Aiming Beam Positioning
Linear bar codes
2D Matrix symbol
The aiming beam is smaller when the imager is closer to the code and larger
when it is farther away. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size)
should be read closer to the unit. Symbologies with larger bars or elements
(mil size) should be read farther from the unit. To scan a label, hold the imager
at an appropriate distance from the target, pull the trigger, and center the aiming beam on the symbol.
Scanning Illumination
Another feature that can be enabled for 2D scanning is an array of illumination LEDs. These LEDs provide illumination in dark environments and can
improve scanning performance under certain lighting conditions. By default,
the illumination LEDs are turned on. Illumination LEDs can be disabled
using the PDT parameters. See the PRG for complete information on programming the LEDs.
Image Capture
The 2D imager can be used for capturing, manipulating, and transferring
images.
34
Falcon® 4400 Series with Windows® CE
Flash Memory
You can set options for image capture in the Imaging Control Panel. Various
image formats can be selected, including TIFF, JPEG and BMP. You can also
scale, rotate, and modify image quality settings. See the PRG for detailed information on using the Falcon 2D for image capture.
Flash Memory
In addition to the RAM-based storage standard on Windows CE terminals,
the Falcon is also equipped with Datalight FlashFX Flash-based application
and file storage area. Refer to the PRG for more information.
The FlashFX storage memory persists across all reset (warm/cold reboot) conditions and software / firmware updates.
Because of this, Datalogic very strongly recommends installing all applications,
applets, programs, and important data files to the FlashFX disk of the Falcon.
If an application or a data file is only installed or saved in RAM, a hard reset will
result in the loss of that application or data file.
Saving to Flash
To save an application or data to the Flash Memory, from your current application, select File > Save As > navigate to the FlashFX Disk location as described
below.

Resetting the Falcon
Resetting the Falcon
There are two reset methods for the Falcon.
•
A warm reset terminates a “hung” application, and clears the working
RAM, but preserves the file system.
•
A cold reset forces all applications to close and clears working RAM
and files not resident on the FlashFX Disk.
Datalogic recommends that you always attempt a warm reset before initiating a
cold reset. Once you initiate a cold reset, all applications are forcibly closed and
working RAM and files are cleared.
It is a good idea to store important data in FlashFX storage for this reason. Refer
to Flash Memory on page 35 for more information on Flash Memory.
CAUTION
DO NOT use a sharp object on the reset button. Sharp objects can puncture the
keypad, disabling the reset function, rupturing the Falcon’s industrial seal, and
voiding your warranty.
Warm Reset
A warm reset is a transition from the on or idle condition that closes all applications, clears the working RAM, but preserves the file system.
If an application “hangs,” initiate a warm reset to terminate the application.
Procedure to Warm Reset
The reset procedure varies, depending upon the keypad on your Falcon. The
first two keys of the sequence can be pressed in any order, but the unit will not
reset until they both are held down and then the third key (,  or
) is pressed. All three keys must be held down for the unit to reset. Refer
to Figure 26 on page 39 for the location of the reset keys.
