INTRODUCTION 111  INTRODUCTION  1.1  DATALOGIC SKORPIO™ DESCRIPTION  1.1.1  Datalogic Skorpio™  Datalogic  Skorpio™  is  a  rugged  mobile  computer  particularly  suitable  for  mobile commerce solutions in the retail environment, both on store shelves and in the stock room.  Thanks to one of the best ergonomics ever seen on the market, Datalogic Skorpio™ reduces operator fatigue with no compromise in terms of reliability and robustness, resisting harsh environments, multiple drops, strong shocks and repetitive tumbles.  Datalogic Skorpio™ offers the unique feature of integrated data capture technology combined  with  “green  spot”  feedback  (Datalogic  patent),  providing  a  ”good  read” green dot directly on the code, where the operator usually tends to be looking.  Datalogic  Skorpio™  system  architecture  is  based  on  the  Intel  X-Scale  PXA-270 series  processors  coupled  with  the  Windows  CE  5.0  and  the  Windows  Mobile  6.1 operating  systems.  It  is  ready  to  satisfy  the  most  demanding  customer  needs  (i.e. expandable memory thanks to the Mini Secure Digital standard slot).  Its wireless communication capabilities (Bluetooth®, WLAN) enable fast transactions and  complete  interaction  with  the  information  system,  as  well  as  wearable peripherals, while its long lasting Li-ION batteries grant full shift coverage in terms of autonomy.  Furthermore,  its  large  high  visibility  color  graphic  display  with  touch  screen  helps users work more efficiently, while the availability of two different keyboards - 38-key alphanumeric for a complete input and the 28-key numeric for simplified applications - allows data, codes and descriptions to be inserted very quickly.  Datalogic Skorpio™ is able to fulfill 100%  of traditional text-based  applications (i.e. terminal emulation, through the Wavelink Terminal Emulator software client) as well as the most modern Web-based solutions (i.e. exploiting Microsoft Internet Explorer through the Datalogic Desktop Utility).  Developers  can  create  and  deploy  single  or  multiple  data  collection  applications rapidly  exploiting  the  MCL  Collection,  while  IT  managers  can  centralize  the management of mobile  devices  revising configurations, synchronizing  software and updating  firmware  and  drivers  remotely  and  seamlessly  thanks  to  the  Wavelink Avalanche software.
 DATALOGIC SKORPIO™/ SKORPIO-GUN™ 21Datalogic  Skorpio™  offers retailers  the  best  mobile  commerce  solution  to  gain  the greatest benefit in the least time for those “selling and serving on the move”!   1.1.2  Datalogic Skorpio-GUN™  Datalogic  Skorpio-GUN™  is  a  compact,  lightweight  and  robust  pistol  grip  mobile computer,  particularly  suitable  for  warehousing  solutions  and  bar  code  scanning intensive applications, especially in the retail environment.  Datalogic  Skorpio-GUN™  does  not  compromise  in  reliability  and  ruggedness.  It  is designed  for  use  in  hostile  environments  and  can  resist  multiple  drops,  repeated knocks and accidental bumps.  Excellent  ergonomics  and  lightweight  make  the  operator’s  job  less  tiring,  while  its long lasting Li-ION batteries grant full shift coverage in terms of autonomy.  The powerful laser reader combined with a “green spot” (Datalogic patent) for good read feedback directly on the code simplify the  operator’s activities, while the Long Range  reading  option  allows  codes  to  be  read  from  near  contact  to  several  meter distances.  Datalogic Skorpio-GUN™ system architecture is based on the Intel X-Scale PXA-270 series  processors  coupled  with  the  Windows  CE  5.0  and  the  Windows  Mobile  6.1 operating systems.  Its wireless communication capabilities (Bluetooth®, WLAN certified IEEE 802.11 b/g) enable fast transactions and complete interaction with information systems including the newest RF security protocols such as WPA™ and WPA2™.  Datalogic Skorpio-GUN™ large high visibility color graphic display with touch screen helps users  work  more  efficiently,  while the availability  of two different  keyboards  - 38-key  alphanumeric  for  a  complete  input  and  the  28-key  numeric  for  simplified applications - allows data, codes and descriptions to be inserted very quickly.  Datalogic Skorpio™ is able to fulfill 100%  of traditional text-based  applications (i.e. terminal emulation, through the Wavelink Terminal Emulator software client) as well as the most modern Web-based solutions (i.e. exploiting Microsoft Internet Explorer through the Datalogic Desktop Utility).  Developers  can  create  and  deploy  single  or  multiple  data  collection  applications rapidly exploiting MCL Collection™, while IT managers can centralize mobile device management  by  revising  configurations,  synchronizing  software  and  updating firmware  and  drivers  remotely  and  seamlessly  thanks  to  the  Wavelink  Avalanche software.

USE AND FUNCTIONING 3333.5.3   Resetting the SkorpioTM Windows CE  There are several reset methods for the Skorpio. A  warm boot  terminates  an unresponsive  application  and  clears the  working  RAM, but preserves both the file system and the registry. A  cold  boot  forces  all  applications  to  close  and  clears  working  RAM  and  files  not resident on the persistent flash memory. Registry is restored from persistent memory if available or returned to factory default.  A Clean Boot restores the Skorpio to factory configuration: both the registry and the file system return to factory default.  Warm Boot A warm boot closes all applications, clears the working RAM, but preserves the file system  and  registry.  If  an  application  hangs,  initiate  a  warm  boot  to  terminate  the application. To  perform  a  warm  boot,  press  and  hold  (for  a  while)  the  following  keys simultaneously:                                Cold Boot A cold boot is a complete  reset of the Skorpio in which all  applications  are forcibly closed  and  the  RAM  is  completely  cleared.  Registry  is  restored  from  persistent memory  if  a  saved  copy  is  available  (see  3.8.2)  and  RAM  file  system  completely erased.  You  will  lose  any  applications  and  data  (included  registry)  which  are  not stored in persistent flash memory. A cold boot is necessary when the Windows CE operating system locks up and the warm boot command does not work. To perform a cold boot, press these keys simultaneously:            Clean Boot A  clean  boot  is  a  cold  boot  that  causes  the  device  to  be  restored  to  factory configuration.  The  Skorpio  will  reset  to  its  factory  configuration,  clear  the  working RAM and initialize the file system. You will lose any applications and data stored in persistent  flash  memory.  At  the  next  startup  the  system  will  ask  to  recalibrate  the touch screen.

USE AND FUNCTIONING 393 3.7  DATA CAPTURE CONFIGURATION  From the Windows CE Taskbar, tap the "Decoding" icon to open a drop–down menu. Decoding can also be accessed from the Control Panel. By  selecting  the  Info item  from  this  drop-down  menu  you  can  access  information about  the  Scanner  and  the  Software;  the  Configure  item  opens  the  configuration applet  (Data  Capture  Configuration  Window),  while  Capture  accesses  the  data capture applet (Data Capture Window), which enables code reading. The last menu item (Wedge) enables Wedge Emulation.  From  the  Windows  Mobile  Start  menu,  tap  Settings  ->  System  ->  Decoding.  The "Decoding"  icon  opens  the  configuration  applet  (Data  Capture  Configuration Window).                        Windows CE           Windows Mobile   3.7.1  Configure  The Configuration applet contains the barcode scanning configuration parameters in a  directory  tree  structure.  The  available  barcode  parameters  are  divided  into  two groups: Reader Parameters and Scan Parameters.  The  Reader  Parameters  depend  on  the  type  of  scanner  module  installed  on  the mobile computer and allow barcode configuration (i.e. enable/disable Code 39, check digit control, etc.).
 DATALOGIC SKORPIO™/ SKORPIO-GUN™ 403The Scan Parameters are common to all scanner modules and allow control of the scanning device (i.e. LED control, laser timeout, etc.). Each  Data  Capture  screen  window  corresponds  to  a  branch  of  the  tree,  and  the name of the current branch is displayed at the bottom of each screen window.  Data Capture Configuration Window  The screen format shows two columns where the left column indicates branches or parameters.  Branches  have  three  dots  in  the  right  column  (...).  You  can  navigate through  the  tree  structure  using  the  stylus  or  keyboard  arrows  directly  on  the  item field or from the menu.  Parameters have their corresponding current values in the right column. You can edit parameter  values  using  the  stylus  or  keyboard  arrows  directly  on  the  item  field  or from  the  menu.  To  change  a  value  for  example,  select  the  line  of  the  value  to  be changed, choose Edit from the Parameter Menu then choose a new value from the values listed in the box (see following figures).
USE AND FUNCTIONING 413     Selecting Data Capture Setup Parameters  Alternatively  using  the  stylus,  you  can  tap  once  directly  on  the  value  on  the  right column; continue tapping until the desired value is reached.  To  activate  a  new  configuration  select  the  File  ->Save  Menu  to  send  the  new configuration to the barcode decoding software and save the new configuration. This will save the configuration to non-volatile memory preventing loss at the next system reset.  Reader Parameters  The barcode reading parameters and values are dependent upon the type of scanner module mounted in  your  mobile computer. For  a  detailed list of  parameters and of their configuration procedures, please refer to the SDK Help file on the CD.   Scan Parameters  The Scan Parameters are common to all scanner modules and allow control of the scanning device. The Scan parameters are described as follows:  ScanTimeout: the maximum time, in milliseconds, during which the scanner remains on without decoding any barcode.  GoodReadSound:  is  the  filename  of  a .wav  file played  when the scanner  reads a code.  LedDuration: the length of the good-read led pulse, in milliseconds.  LedPulses:  the  number  of  times  the  good-read  led  pulse  is  emitted  when  the scanner reads a code.
 DATALOGIC SKORPIO™/ SKORPIO-GUN™ 423 ContinuousMode:  when enabled,  the scanner  can  only  be turned  off  by releasing the SCAN key, or if Soft Trigger is enabled, by the application program. Continuous Mode overrides Scan Timeout.  KeyboardEmulation:  if  enabled  all  scanned  data  are  transformed  into  keyboard events and can therefore be displayed and saved to a file as if input from the mobile computer  keyboard.  If  set  to  "Yes  (Clipboard)",  it  copies  the  scanned  data  to  the system clipboard.  SoftTrigger:  when  enabled,  the  laser  can  be  turned  on/off  by  the  application software.  ScanAlwaysOn:  enables  the  scanner  for  barcode  reading  independently  from  the application  software.  If  set  to  "Disabled  after  read",  it  disables  the  reading  after  a reading  attempt.  In  case  the  scan  button  is  accidentally  pressed,  this  selection prevents the driver from decoding new data  while the application is still elaborating previous data.  Green  Spot  Duration:  determines  the  duration  (measured  in  milliseconds)  of  the green spot feedback, which provides a ”good read” green dot directly on the code, where the operator usually tends to be looking.  NotPrintableChar:  if  set  to  "Remove",  all  not  printable  characters  included  in  the scanned data are deleted and the final barcode will include only printable characters.  ScanButton: it activates/deactivates the scanner for bar code reading.
USE AND FUNCTIONING 433Default Settings  The  following  tables  contain  the  default  values  for  the  major  barcode  setup parameters, according to the type of scan engine mounted on the mobile computer.

After  restoring  the  factory  default  configuration,  you must perform a warm boot.  Saving  the  registry  to  non-volatile  memory  guarantees  the  persistence  of  the Windows configuration in case of battery pack replacement, cold boot or warm boot on Windows Mobile.    Registry Administration Window
 DATALOGIC SKORPIO™/ SKORPIO-GUN™ 4833.8.3  Files Admin  The FILES ADMIN applet enables control of the permanence of files in the Windows CE System Folder. Because Windows Mobile mounts the entire file system in persistent store (rather than using RAM), it provides both users and applications with a reliable storage platform even in the absence of battery power. The FILES ADMIN applet is therefore not necessary.  Two  functions  are  available  on  the  Files  Admin  Main  window  by  means  of  two buttons:   Files Admin Main Window  Save  Session: with this button all files  will be permanently saved in the \Windows directory in non-volatile memory. This function guarantees the steady maintenance of every file produced during the current working session - even of sub-directories and relevant files - with the exception of the files belonging to the FLASH image. These  current  working  session  files  will  be  backed-up  in  the  \Backup\Windows directory. At the next cold boot, the files previously saved in the \Backup\Windows directory will be restored to the Windows directory (see par. 3.10). Safe  Setup:  with this button, the installation of software programs will be saved to non-volatile memory (Backup directory). Before doing this, it will be checked that the Backup  directory  has  enough  space  to  save  the  files.  If  the  directory  space  is  not enough, an  error  message  will be shown  and  the program  will exit  the  Safe Setup function.
USE AND FUNCTIONING 493Two activating procedures are available for Safe Setup:  -  Select an installation file (for example, a .CAB cabinet file) from the Safe Setup mask.   Safe Setup First Mask  Then  select  \Windows  or  a  relevant  sub-directory  in  the  path  box.  Then,  Safe Setup  will  recognize  the  new  files  and  directories  present  in  the  \Windows directory, and will copy them to the \Backup\Windows directory. At the next cold boot, these files will be restored (see par. 3.10).  -  Simply skip the first mask either by closing it or by pressing the ESC key. When it  closes,  a  new  mask  will  pop  up:  it  will  enable  any  type  of  installation  (even remote ones like ActiveSync® installations). Make sure the installation directory is \Windows or one of its sub-directories. After installation, tap OK: Safe Setup will save the new files in the \Backup\Windows directory.

USE AND FUNCTIONING 7133.9.4  FTP Server Setup  The  Datalogic  Skorpio™  Windows  CE  Operating  System  includes  a  sample  File Transfer  Protocol  (FTP)  server.  FTP  is  used  for  copying  files  to  and  from  remote computer systems over a network using TCP/IP. You can establish a connection to your Datalogic Skorpio™ using its FTP Server through the following interfaces: WLAN  LAN  through  the  Datalogic  Skorpio™  Single  Cradle  Ethernet  or  the  Datalogic Skorpio™ Ethernet Multi Cradle (see par. 3.8.5)  Proceed as follows:  1.  Create  a  registry  file  (extension  .reg)  to  setup  and  enable  FTP  Server communication. A simple example file for anonymous logon is given below:  REGEDIT4[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\FTPD]"DefaultDir"="\\""AllowAnonymousUpload"=dword:00000001"UseAuthentication"=dword:00000000"BaseDir"="\\""IsEnabled"=dword:00000001"LogSize"=dword:00001000"DebugOutputMask"=dword:00000017"DebugOutputChannels"=dword:00000002"IdleTimeout"=dword:0000012c"AllowAnonymous"=dword:00000001"AllowAnonymousVroots"=dword:00000001 2.  Copy  this  file  to  the  Datalogic  Skorpio™  using  ActiveSync®  or  the  RS232 protocol (par. 3.9.2). 3.  Launch the .reg file from the Datalogic Skorpio™.  4.  Perform a warm boot on the Datalogic Skorpio™.  5.  From the  PC >  Explorer  address  bar  (or  running  an  FTP  Client  from  the  PC), enter the Datalogic Skorpio™ IP address.   NOTEFor  more  information  on  FTP  Client/Server  connections  refer  to  the following web page: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa922316.aspx.
 DATALOGIC SKORPIO™/ SKORPIO-GUN™ 723 NOTEDatalogic  Skorpio™  WLAN  models  only  (without  Bluetooth®)  do  not contain  the  FTP  Server.  If  necessary  you  can  install  it  from  the  CD-ROM in the Utilities folder.
USE AND FUNCTIONING 7333.10  BACKUP DIRECTORY FILE MANAGEMENT  All of the Windows CE system files reside in RAM (volatile memory) except for the Backup  directory,  which  resides  in  FLASH  (non-volatile  memory).  Therefore  the contents  of  the  Backup  directory  are  persistent  even  if  the  mobile  computer  is  re-booted or the battery pack is changed.  You  can  save  your  more  important  files  that  you  don't  want  to  lose  due  to  mobile computer re-boot, in the Backup directory or create a sub-directory within Backup.  Even though  the  Windows Directory  resides  in  RAM,  it  often  contains  files  or  sub-directories created by the user or by installation programs that you don't want to lose at re-boot. To keep these files persistent it is necessary to copy them to the directory \Backup\Windows.  This  directory  doesn't  exist  originally  (only  Backup  exists),  and therefore  it  must  be  created.  At  the  next  cold  boot,  before  activating  the  shell, Windows CE will copy the contents including all sub-directories of \Backup\Windows to \Windows.  Likewise, to maintain files that must be run at Windows CE startup, (i.e. .exe, .lnk, .vb,  .htm,  etc.),  it  is  necessary to  copy them  to  the  directory \Backup\Startup.  This directory  does  not  exist  originally  (only  Backup  exists),  and  therefore  it  must  be created. The application programs  will  be  run after any type  of  re-boot  (both  warm and cold boot).  As an alternative to the Safe Setup function, it is possible to copy the .cab files to the directory  \Backup\Cabfiles  (the  Cabfiles  sub-directory  doesn't  exists  originally  and must  therefore  be  created)  and  perform  a  mobile  computer  cold  boot  to  have  the application  installed.  Once  these  files  are  copied  to  the  directory  \Backup\Cabfiles, the application will be run after each re-boot.  From the second cold boot on, a message may be displayed such as "<application name>  is  already  installed.  Re-install?".  This  message  blocks  the  boot  process. Press the [Enter] key to continue the system initialization.  Even  if  the  entire  Windows  Mobile  file  system  reside  in  FLASH  (non-volatile memory), the mechanism described above is supported also on Windows Mobile  for backward compatibility.
 DATALOGIC SKORPIO™/ SKORPIO-GUN™ 7433.11  FIRMWARE UPDATE FOR WINDOWS CE  The Datalogic Skorpio™ is equipped with a tool that implements a firmware update service.   For further information, refer to DFU Reference Guide.
MAINTENANCE 7544  MAINTENANCE    NOTERechargeable battery packs are not initially charged. Therefore the first operation to perform is to charge them. See below.   CAUTION By default,  the battery  pack is  disconnected  at the  factory to  avoid damage  due  to  excessive  draining.  Annual  replacement  of rechargeable  battery  pack  avoids  possible  risks  or  abnormalities and ensures maximum performance.   4.1  CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK  The  battery  pack  autonomy  varies  according  to  factors,  such  as  the  frequency  of barcode scanning, RF usage, etc.  When  the  battery  pack  is  low,  the  LED  positioned  at  the  right  side  of  the  display blinks red.  It  is  possible  to  recharge  the  battery  pack  by  using  the  PG5-20  MiniUSB  AC/DC Power Supply directly connected to the Datalogic Skorpio™.  Alternatively,  it  is  also  possible  to  recharge  the  battery  pack  by  using  one  of  the  Datalogic Skorpio™ single or multiple cradles.  During the charging process the LED positioned at the right side of the display is red constant. Once the charging process has been completed this LED is green constant (see par. 3.6).  If  the  battery  pack  is  removed  from  the  mobile  computer,  it  can  be  recharged  by inserting it into the MBC8600 Multi-Battery Charger.   NOTEThe  battery  pack  autonomy  varies  according  to  many  factors,  such  as the  frequency  of  barcode  scanning,  RF  usage,  battery  life,  storage, environmental conditions, etc.
 DATALOGIC SKORPIO™/ SKORPIO-GUN™ 764 CAUTION If the battery pack is new or has not been recharged for a long time, it  is  necessary  to  perform  two  or  three  charging  and  discharging cycles  (complete  use)  before  it  can  reach  its  maximum  charge capability. The  maximum  time  required  to  recharge  a  completely  run-down battery pack is 4 hours if recharged into the mobile computer.   NOTEEven if the storage temperature range is wider, In order to achieve the  longest  battery  life,  store  the  terminal  and  the  spare  batteries between 20 to 30 ºC (68 to 86 ºF). The Batteries must be charged at a temperature ranging from 0° to +45 °C (+32° to +113 °F).

The area in which the units are charged should be clear of debris and combustible materials or chemicals.  Do not use the battery pack of this terminal for power devices different from this mobile computer.  Immediately discontinue use of the battery pack if, while using, charging or storing the battery pack, the battery pack emits an unusual smell, feels hot, changes colour or shape, or appears abnormal in any other way. Do not short-circuit the battery pack contacts connecting the positive terminal and negative terminal. This might happen, for example, when you carry a spare battery pack in your pocket or purse; accidental short–circuiting can occur when a metallic object such as a coin, clip, or pen causes direct connection of the contacts of the battery pack (these look like metal strips on the battery pack). Short–circuiting the terminals may damage the battery pack or the connecting object. Do not apply voltages to the battery pack contacts.
MAINTENANCE 814WARNING Do not pierce the battery pack with nails, strike it with a hammer, step on it or otherwise subject it to strong impacts or shocks. Do not disassemble or modify (i.e. bend, crush or deform) the battery pack. The battery pack contains safety and protection devices, which, if damaged, may cause the battery pack to generate heat, explode or ignite.  In case of leakage of liquid from the battery, avoid contact with liquid the skin or eyes. If the contact occurs, immediately wash the affected area with water and consult a doctor. Do not solder directly onto the battery pack. Do not expose the battery pack to liquids.  Avoid any knocks or excessive vibrations. If the device or the battery is dropped, especially on a hard surface, you should take it to the nearest Authorised Repair Centre for inspection before continuing to use it.  Do not replace the battery pack when the device is turned on. Do not remove or damage the battery pack’s label.  Do not use the battery pack if it is damaged in any part.  Battery pack usage by children should be supervised.

 91  GLOSSARY  Access Point A  device  that  provides  transparent  access  between  Ethernet  wired  networks  and IEEE  802.11  interoperable  radio-equipped  mobile  units.  Hand-held  mobile computers,  PDAs  or  other  devices  equipped  with  radio  cards,  communicate  with wired  networks  using  Access  Points  (AP).  The  mobile  unit  (mobile  computer)  may roam among the APs in the same subnet while maintaining a continuous, seamless connection to the wired network.  Barcode A  pattern  of  variable-width  bars  and  spaces  which  represents  numeric  or alphanumeric data in binary form. The general format of a barcode symbol consists of a leading  margin, start character, data  or message character, check character (if any),  stop  character,  and  trailing  margin.  Within  this  framework,  each  recognizable symbology uses its own unique format.  Baud Rate A measure for data transmission speed.  BitBinary  digit.  One  bit  is  the  basic  unit  of  binary  information.  Generally,  eight consecutive bits compose one byte of data. The pattern of 0 and 1 values within the byte determines its meaning.  Bluetooth® A  standard  radio  technology  using  a  proprietary  protocol.  The  onboard  Bluetooth module in the mobile computer is compatible with the 1.2 protocol.  Byte On  an  addressable  boundary,  eight  adjacent  binary  digits  (0  and  1)  combined  in  a pattern to represent  a  specific  character  or  numeric  value.  Bits  are  numbered  from the right, 0 through 7, with bit 0 the low-order bit. One byte in memory can be used to store one ASCII character.  Decode To  recognize  a  bar  code  symbology  (e.g., Codabar,  Code  128,  Code  3  of  9, UPC/EAN, etc.) and analyze the content of the bar code scanned.
