If your computer shuts down because of low battery conditions, your com-
puter does not operate. This is done to ensure that data is protected. Al-
though the battery does protect the data against loss for several hours, you
should connect your computer to a power source when you first detect a
low battery condition.
Your computer contains an internal super capacitor, a temporary power
storage device, that protects data for up to ten minutes. This is to give you
time to replace the main battery pack before that data is lost. Be sure to put
the computer in a suspend mode before doing so.
If you have at least one device in your 700 Series Computer (radio, scan-
ner, imager, or Ethernet), the battery power fail level is set so that after the
system shuts down in a low battery condition, there is still sufficient charge
to allow the unit to remain configured, keep proper time, and maintain
DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) for at least 23 to 32 hours at
room temperature if the main battery remains in the mobile computer.
The configuration and time are lost if:
SThe battery discharges beyond this level.
SThe battery is removed when the computer is not in suspend mode.
SA cold reset is performed on the computer.
You can modify RAM maintenance in a limited way. On the 700 Com-
puter, tap Start >Settings >theSystem tab>thePower icon > the Bat-
tery tab. Drag the slider bar to the right to change the suspend voltage to
favor suspend time over rundown time, then click ok to exit.

Tips for getting good recognition:
SWrite neatly.
SWrite on the lines and draw descenders below the line. Write the cross
of the “t” and apostrophes below the top line so they are not confused
with the word above. Write periods and commas above the baseline.
SFor better recognition, try increasing the zoom level to 300% by using
the Tools menu. Recognition does not work well below a 150% zoom
level.
SWrite the letters of a word closely and leave big gaps between words so
that the 700 Color Computer can easily tell where words begin and end.
SHyphenated words, foreign words that use special characters such as ac-
cents, and some punctuation cannot be converted.
SIf you add writing to a word to change it (such as changing a “3” to an
“8”) after you attempt to recognize the word, the writing you add is not
included if you attempt to recognize the writing again.
Windows Mobile 2003—Chapter 2

Drawing on the Screen
You can draw on the screen in the same way that you write on the screen.
The difference between writing and drawing on the screen is how you se-
lect items and how they are edited. For example, you can resize selected
drawings, while you cannot resize writing.
Creating a Drawing
SCross three ruled lines on your first stroke. A drawing box appears. Sub-
sequent strokes in or touching the drawing box become part of the dra-
wing. Drawings that do not cross three ruled lines are treated as writing.
The drawing box indicates
the boundaries of the

Computer with Microsoft Outlook data on your desktop.
SSynchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your
700 Color Computer and desktop. Your files are automatically con-
verted to the correct format
Note: By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types
of information. Use ActiveSync options to turn synchronization on and off
for specific information types.
With ActiveSync, you can also:
SBack up and restore your 700 Color Computer data.
SCopy (rather than synchronize) files between your 700 Color Computer
and desktop.
SControl when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization
mode. For example, you can synchronize continually while connected to
your desktop or only when you choose the synchronize command.
SSelect which information types are synchronized and control how much
data is synchronized. For example, you can choose how many weeks of
past appointments you want synchronized.
Before you begin synchronization, install ActiveSync on your desktop from
the Windows Mobile Companion CD. For more information on installing
ActiveSync, see your Quick Start card. ActiveSync is already installed on
your 700 Color Computer.

Synchronizing Notes
Notes can be synchronized between your desktop and device either
through notes synchronization or file synchronization. Notes synchroniza-
tion synchronizes the notes on your 700 Color Computer with Outlook
Notes on your desktop. File synchronization synchronizes all notes on
your700ColorComputerwiththeMyDocumentsfolderforthe700
ColorComputeronyourdesktop.
To synchronize your notes through notes synchronization, first select the
Notes information type for synchronization in ActiveSync. The next time
you synchronize, all notes in My Documents and its subfolder on your
device appear in Outlook Notes on your desktop. Notes that contain only
text appear as regular notes in Outlook on your desktop, while notes con-
taining written text or drawings appear in the device format. In addition,
all notes in the Notes group in Outlook on the desktop appear in Notes on
the device.
To synchronize your notes as files, in ActiveSync, select the Files informa-
tion type for synchronization and clear the Notes information type. When
you select Files, the My Documents folder for the 700 Color Computer is
created on your desktop. All .PWI files placed in the My Documents fold-
er on your device and all .DOC files placed in the My Documents folder

next time you synchronize.
Note: If you synchronize your notes using file synchronization and then
later decide to use notes synchronization, all of your notes are synchro-
nized with Outlook on your desktop and no longer store in the My Docu-

Inbox: Sending and Receiving E-mail Messages
To switch to Inbox on your 700 Color Computer, tap Start >Inbox.
You can receive Internet e-mail messages and SMS messages in Inbox. In-
ternet e-mail messages are sent by using an address you receive from your
Internet service provider (ISP) or your employer. SMS messages are sent
and received through your wireless phone service provider by using a
phone number as the message address.
You can send and receive e-mail by synchronizing with your desktop, or
by connecting to a Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3) or Internet Message Ac-
cess Protocol 4 (IMAP4) mail server. You need to set up an e-mail account
for each method that you use except for Microsoft ActiveSync, which is set
upbydefault.TheActiveSyncfolderonyour700ColorComputerstores
messages that you send and receive through synchronization with a desk-
top. Account names appear as folders in the folder list (located on the left,
under the navigation bar) in the Inbox message list.
With synchronization, messages are synchronized between the device In-
box and the PC Inbox by using ActiveSync and Microsoft Exchange or
Microsoft Outlook. For more information, see “Synchronizing E-mail Mes-
sages”below.
When connecting to a POP3 or IMAP4 server, you use a modem to con-
nect to your Internet service provider (ISP), or a modem or Ethernet card
to connect to the local area network to which your e-mail server is connec-
ted. You can also use your phone to connect by using a cellular line con-
nection. For more information, see “Connecting to a Mail Server”onpage
75.
Synchronizing E-mail Messages
After selecting Inbox for synchronization in ActiveSync, e-mail messages
are synchronized as part of the general synchronization process. During
synchronization:
SMessages are copied from the Inbox folder on your desktop or the
Microsoft Exchange server to the Inbox folder on your 700 Color Com-
puter. (Note that you can only synchronize information directly with an
Exchange Server if your company is running Microsoft Mobile Infor-
mation Server 2002 or later.) By default, you receive messages from the
last three days only, the first 100 lines of each new message, and file at-
tachmentsoflessthan100KBinsize.
SMessages in the Outbox folder on your device are transferred to Ex-
change or Outlook and then sent from those programs.
SThe messages on the two computers are linked. When you delete a mes-
sage on your 700 Color Computer, it is deleted from your desktop the
next time you synchronize.
SMessages in subfolders in other e-mail folders in Outlook are synchro-
nized only if they were selected for synchronization in ActiveSync.
For information on initiating Inbox synchronization or changing synchro-
nization settings, see ActiveSync Help on your desktop or select Start >
Help >Connections to see Connections Help.

74 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual
Managing E-mail Messages and Folders
Each e-mail account and SMS account has its own folder hierarchy with
fivedefaultfolders:Inbox,Outbox,DeletedItems,Drafts,andSentItems.
The messages you receive and send through the mail account are stored in
these folders. You can also create additional folders within each hierarchy.
The Deleted Items folder contains messages that were deleted on the de-
vice. The behavior of the Deleted Items and Sent Items folders depends on
the Inbox options you have chosen.
The behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you are using
ActiveSync,SMS,POP3,orIMAP4.
SIf you use ActiveSync,
e-mail messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook automatically synchro-
nize with your device. You can select to synchronize additional folders
by designating them for ActiveSync. The folders you create and the
messages you move are then mirrored on the server. For example, if you
movetwomessagesfromtheInboxfoldertoafoldernamedFamily,
and you have designated Family for synchronization, the server creates a
copy of the Family folder and copies the messages into that folder. You
can then read the messages while away from your desktop.
SIf you use SMS,
messages are stored in the Inbox folder.
SIf you use POP3
and you move e-mail messages to a folder you created, the link is broken
between the messages on the device and their copies on the mail server.
The next time you connect, the mail server sees that the messages are
missing from the device Inbox and deletes them from the server. This
prevents you from having duplicate copies of a message, but it also
means that you no longer have access to messages that you move to fold-
ers created from anywhere except the 700 Color Computer.
SIf you use IMAP4,
the folders you create and the e-mail messages you move are mirrored
on the server. Therefore, messages are available to you anytime you con-
nect to your mail server, whether it is from your 700 Color Computer
or desktop. This synchronization of folders occurs whenever you con-
nect to your mail server, create new folders, or rename or delete folders
when connected.
For all accounts except ActiveSync, you can access folder options by tap-
ping Tools >Manage Folders.
Windows Mobile 2003—Chapter 2
75700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual
Connecting to a Mail Server
In addition to synchronizing e-mail messages with your desktop, you can
send and receive e-mail messages by connecting to an e-mail server using a
modem or network card connected to your 700 Color Computer. You
need to set up a remote connection to a network or an ISP, and a connec-
tion to your e-mail server. For more information, see “Getting Connected”
on page 98.
When you connect to the e-mail server, new messages are downloaded to
the 700 Color Computer Inbox folder, messages in the 700 Color Com-
puter Outbox folder are sent, and messages that were deleted on the e-mail
server are removed from the 700 Color Computer Inbox folder.
Messages that you receive directly from an e-mail server are linked to your
e-mail server rather than your desktop. When you delete a message on
your 700 Color Computer, it is also deleted from the e-mail server the
next time you connect based on the settings selected in ActiveSync.
You can work online or offline. When working online, you read and re-
spond to messages while connected to the e-mail server. Messages are sent
as soon as you tap Send, which saves space on your 700 Color Computer.
When working offline, once you have downloaded new message headers or
partial messages, you can disconnect from the e-mail server and then de-
cide which messages to download completely. The next time you connect,
Inbox downloads the complete messages you have marked for retrieval and
sends the messages you have composed.

Packaging an Application
Useanyofthesemethodstopackageanapplicationforinstallation:
SFor very simple applications, the application itself might be the only file
that needs to be delivered.
SIt could be a directory structure that contains the application, support-
ing files like ActiveX controls, DLLs, images, sound files, and data files.
SOr, you could package an application via a CAB file.
Consider any of the following when choosing a location into which to
store your application:
SIn the basic 700 Color Computer, there are two built-in storage op-
tions: the Object Store and the Persistent Storage Manager (PSM). The
Object Store is RAM that looks like a disk. Anything copied here is de-
leted when a cold-boot is performed on the 700 Color Computer. The
PSMisanareaofstoragewhichisembeddedinasectionofthesystem’s
FLASH memory. This storage area is not erased during a cold-boot. It
may, however, be erased during the reflashing process. In addition to
storing applications and data files, you do have the option to store a per-
sistent registry to the PSM region.
SIf the optional Secure Digital or CompactFlash storage card is in the
system, then consider this card the primary location for placing an ap-
plications install files. The following folders represent either card:
SThe Secure Digital storage card creates the “\SDMMC Disk” folder.
SThe CompactFlash storage card creates the “\Storage Card” folder.
Note: The 730 Mobile Computer does not support the Compact
Flash storage card.
SUse the small non-volatile Flash File Store region to hold CAB files that
rebuild the system at cold-boot or install applications from a CAB file
into the Flash File Store so they are ”ready-to-run” when a cold-boot is
performed. Since the FLASH in the system has a limited number of
write cycles, do not use the Flash File Store for excessive writing pur-
poses; however, reading is okay.
Files copied to any of these locations are safe when a cold-boot is
performed on a 700 Color Computer — providing the AutoRun system is
installed in the appropriate location You can find this system in the 700
Color Management Tools portion of the Intermec Developer’s Library CD.
Copying a CAB file to the “\CABFILES” folder on one of these cards
automatically extracts that CAB file on every cold-boot to ensure that your
system is properly set up (see page 128).

The Microsoft ActiveSync tool is located on the 700 Color Companion CD.
See Chapter 2, “Windows Mobile 2003,” for information about this tool as
provided by Microsoft Corporation.
This can be a serial, USB, Ethernet, InfraRed, or 802.11b ActiveSync con-
nection. Files can be copied using File Explorer on a desktop or a laptop
computer. This is usually good when updating few 700 Color Computers.
Note: The 730 Computer does not support Ethernet.

Migrating from a 700 Monochrome Computer
As you migrate from a 700 Monochrome Computer to a 700 Color Com-
puter, you need to consider the following: When converting a 700 Mono-
chrome Computer application to run on the 700 Color Computer, most
APIs should work without changes. Below are a few exceptions:
SThe 700 Monochrome Computer uses the “\Storage Card” folder for
nonvolatile storage. You may need to change the application to store
data onto the “SDMMC Disk” folder instead of the “\Storage Card”
folder if a Secure Digital storage card is present in the system.
SIf the application uses the RegFlushKey() API, it must first verify that
the proper media is available in the system and call the special API men-
tioned in Step 7 on the previous page.
SIftheapplicationisusingthe700Colorswitchabledock,usethe
IOCTL_DOCK_SWITCH value from the
IOCTL_HAL_ITC_WRITE_SYSPARM function to set the proper
port on the dock before communications. See more information about
this KernelIOControl function in Chapter 7, “Programming.”
SSome WAN radio options have changed. Review the WAN radio infor-
mation in Chapter 4, “Network Support,“to determine if any changes are
required in your application.
SArrow and tab keys are reversed from the 700 Monochrome Computer.
Keyboard remapping is available on the 700 Color Computer should
you need to map these keys like that of the 700 Monochrome Comput-
er (see page 125).
SSpecial SDKs are not needed to compile applications for the Xscale pro-
cessor. Targeting the SA1110 processor creates applications that run on
the 700 Color Computer.
Cabinet File Installation
CAB files (short form of “cabinet” files) are compressed folders as defined by
Microsoft. A “cabinet” file is a single file, usually suffixed with .CAB, that
stores compressed files in a file library. A compressed file can be spread
over several cabinet files. During installation, the setup application decom-
presses the files stored in a cabinet and copies them to the user’s system.
For the 700 Color Computer, CAB files register DLLs, create shortcuts,
modify registry entries, and run custom setup programs. Tap a CAB file to
extract that file or place the CAB file on one of the approved storage de-
vices in the “\CabFiles” folder, then perform a warm-boot on the 700 Col-
or Computer. There are two methods available to extract a CAB file:
STap a CAB file to extract it. With this method, the CAB file is automat-
ically deleted when the extraction process is successful, unless the CAB
file is set with the read-only attribute.
SUse the AUTOCAB method to extract all files when a cold-boot is per-
formed on the 700 Color Computer. This method is on the Intermec
Developer’s Library CD,seeitsSoftware Tools User’s Manual for informa-
tion.

CDMA Radio Setup Quick Start Guide P/N: 962-054-063.
This tells you how to set up your CDMA radio in your 760 Computer.
Below are terms to familiarize you with CDMA radio technology:
Activation The process of programming the radio with the lock code (MSL) and phone number (MIN) to
allow it to communicate on the provider’s network. Once activation is complete you can make
voice calls (if enabled by the carrier) with the mobile computer.
Data Provisioning The process of activating the ability for the CDMA radio to establish data connections, such as
connecting to the Internet. The CDMA radio makes data connection only after it is activated
and data provisioned.
NID (Network ID) A numeric value programmed into the CDMA radio at the factory or during the activation
process. Your carrier may or may not use this value, but your carrier may provide this for ac-
tivation purposes.
SID (System ID) A numeric value programmed into the CDMA radio at the factory or during the activation
process. This number is used by your carrier to determine if the radio belongs to its CDMA
network. Your carrier may provide this number for activation purposes.
Note: Descriptions in this chapter are for Sprint PCS, Bell Mobility, Te-
lus, and Verizon Networks versions of the SB555 Watcher program. Oth-

Activation
Note: Set the date and time before doing this activation.
SB555 Watcher is for activation and data provisioning. Once you enable
voice capability, data capability, or both depending on the carrier, remove
this program from the system by cold-booting your computer.
Intermec Technologies does not recommend using the SB555 Watcher
program to make data and voice calls on a daily basis for these reasons:
SThe SB555 Watcher application is a third-party application unaware of
certain power management methods used in your 760 Computer.
Therefore, the application consumes more power than necessary.
SThe application size consumes memory better used for your application
data.
The process of setting up the account with your carrier and enabling the
CDMA WAN radio in your 760 Computer is called activation.
The CDMA radio is pre-programmed for a specific carrier, such as Sprint,
Telus, Bell Mobility, Verizon, etc.). Therefore, information about your
radio should already be in your carrier’s database.
You need to notify the carrier and set up mobile accounts for each unit
you are activating. The Electronic Serial Number (ESN hex 63xxxxxx)
that you need to supply to your carrier is located in two places:
SOn the outside of the 760 Computer shipping box.
SOn the inside of the 760 Computer battery compartment.
The ESN comes in both decimal and hexadecimal formats. Most carriers
accept either format, but with a preference for the decimal format. You
only need to provide one number to your carrier.
SThe decimal format consists of 11 digits, beginning with “099.”
SThe hexadecimal format is an 8-digit number, beginning with “63.”
Accounts for Verizon and Sprint carriers can be set up for data only. Cana-
dian carriers (Telus and Bell Mobility) can be set for data only, voice only,
or both voice and data. This is determined by your application and the
services your carrier offers.
After the all ESNs are provided to the carrier and the carrier has estab-
lished the accounts, you will be provided with the lock codes and tele-
phone numbers needed to complete the activation process. You use the
SB555 Watcher program to accomplish this task. Be sure to write down this
information for future use.
Note: Ensure that you receive a spreadsheet with your order that calls out
all ESNs in both decimal and hexadecimal formats.

Wireless Personal Area Networking
“Bluetooth” is the name given to a technology standard using short-range
radio links, intended to replace the cables connecting portable and fixed
electronic devices. The standard defines a uniform structure for a wide
range of devices to communicate with each other, with minimal user ef-
fort. Its key features are robustness, low complexity, low power, and low
cost. The technology also offers wireless access to LANs, the mobile phone
network, and the internet for a host of home appliances and portable
hand-held interfaces.
Documentation
Information about additional Bluetooth software is in the Wireless Print-
ing SDK and in the Wireless Printing Development Guide (on the Intermec
Developer’s Library CD, via the “\Wireless Printing SDK” directory off the
root).
About the Application
Bluetooth is not started automatically by default after a cold-boot is per-
formed. To run Bluetooth, tap Start >Settings >theConnections tab >

The 700 Series Computer retains the Bluetooth state when warm-boots
are performed, for example:
SIf Bluetooth is active, and a warm-boot was performed, the 700 Series
Computer boots up with the Bluetooth state activated and Bluetooth
virtual COM ports (such as printing) registered. However, you must
reactivate connections, as the system does not do these automatically.
SIf Bluetooth is inactive, and a warm-boot was performed, the 700 Series
Computer boots up with Bluetooth deactivated.
Mode
The default tab activates or deactivates Bluetooth. When Bluetooth is acti-
vated, the 700 Series Computer can discover and connect to remote de-
vices.

address from the 169.254.xxx.xxx block. The client then tries to check for
a DHCP server every 300 seconds (5 minutes) and if a DHCP server is
found, the client drops the AutoIP address and uses the address from the
DHCP server.
In the MSDN Windows CE documentation available out on the Micro-
soft Developer Network web site (http://www.msdn.com), see “Automatic
Client Configuration” for more information on AutoIP.
To disable AutoIP, set the AutoCfg registry entry to “0.” If a DHCP serv-
er cannot be found, instead of using AutoIP, the system will display the
“Unable to obtain a server assigned IP address” message.
Note: If AutoIP is defined using CAB files, the EnableDHCP registry key
must also be defined and set to “1” before the system will attempt to ob-
tain a DHCP address.
Note: To extend the number of attempts that a DHCP client makes to get
a DHCP address, use the DhcpRetryDialogue and DhcpMaxRetry registry
settings.
Note: Change the AutoInterval registry key value to make the client retry
moreoftentoobtainaDHCPaddress.

SNMP Configuration on the 700 Series Computer
In short, SNMP is an application-layer protocol that facilitates the ex-
change of management information between network devices. The 700
Series Computer is such an SNMP-enabled device. Use SNMP to control
and configure the 700 Series Computer anywhere on an SNMP-enabled
network.
The 700 Series Computer supports four proprietary Management Infor-
mation Bases (MIBs) and Intermec Technologies provides SNMP support
for MIB-II through seven read-only MIB-II (RFC1213-MIB) Object
Identifiers (OIDs).
Note: You can only query these seven OIDs through an SNMP manage-
ment station.
Management Information Base
The Management Information Base is a database that contains information
about the elements to be managed. The information identifies the manage-
ment element and specifies its type and access mode (Read-Only, Read-
Write). MIBs are written in ASN.1 (Abstract Syntax Notation.1) — a ma-
chine independent data definition language. Note: Elements to be managed
are represented by objects. The MIB is a structured collection of such objects.
You will find the following MIB files either in the 700 Color Management
Tools portion of the Intermec Developer’s Library CD or on the web via
http://www.intermec.com:
SINTERMEC.MIB
Defines the root of the Intermec MIB tree.
SITCADC.MIB
Defines objects for Automated Data Collection (ADC), such as bar
code symbologies.
SITCSNMP.MIB
Defines objects for Intermec SNMP parameters and security methods,
such as an SNMP security IP address.
SITCTERMINAL.MIB
Defines objects for 700 Series parameters, such as key clicks.

Object Identifiers
Each object has a unique identifier called an OID, which consist of a se-
quence of integer values represented in dot notation. Objects are stored in
a tree structure and OIDs are assigned based on the position of the object
in the tree. For example, the internet OID is equal to 1.3.6.1. Seven MIB
OIDsareshowninthefollowingtable:

Configuring with SNMP
The community string allows an SNMP manager to manage the 700 Series
Computer with a specified privilege level. The default read-only commu-
nity string is “public” and “private” is the default read/write community
string. See the specific configuration parameter to find its OID. To config-
ure the 700 Series Computers using SNMP:
1Configure 700 Series Computers for RF or Ethernet communications.
2Determine the OID (Object Identifier) for the parameter to be chan-
ged. The Intermec base OID is 1.3.6.1.4.1.1963.
3Use your SNMP management station to get and set variables that are
defined in the Intermec MIBs. You can set the traps, identification, or
security configuration parameters for SNMP. See Appendix A, “Confi-
gurable Settings,” to learn more about these parameters.

Printing ASCII
The following methods for printing using Pocket PC at this time is as fol-
lows:
SAdd port drivers to print ASCII directly to the port.
SUse LinePrinter ActiveX Control from the Software Developer’s Kit
(SDK) — see the SDK User’s Manual for more information.
SVia wireless printing - see the Wireless Printing Development Guide on the
Intermec Developer’s Library CD for more information.
Directly to a Port
Printing directly to the port sends RAW data to the printer. The format of
this data depends upon your application and the printer capabilities.
Youmustunderstandtheprintercommandsavailableforyourspecific
printer. Generally, applications just send raw ASCII text to the printer.
Since you are sending data to the printer from your application directly to
the port you are in complete control of the printers operations. This allows
youtodolineprinting(printonelineatatime)rather than the page for-
mat printing offered by the GDI approach. It is also much faster since data
does not have to be converted from one graphics format to the other (dis-
play to printer). Most Intermec
®
printers use Epson Escape Sequences to
control print format operations.
These commands are available in documentation you receive with your
printers or from technical support. Win32 APIs are required to print di-
rectly to the port.
Directly to a Generic Serial Port
To print directly to a generic serial port printer (non-Intermec printers):
SUseCreateFile()toopenports-COM1:canbeopenedonmostde-
vices.
SUse WriteFile() to send data directly to the printer.
SUse CloseHandle() when you are finished printing to close the port.
IrDA Printer Driver
IrDA printing is only available on the certain devices and is supported di-
rectly by the Windows CE load via the IrSock API provided by the Micro-
soft Win32 API without need for additional drivers. Intermec 6804, 6805,
6806, 6808 and 6820 and other IrDA printers are supported.

NPCP Printer Driver
The NPCP printer communications driver (NPCPPORT.DLL) is a
Stream Device Driver built into the operating system. The driver supports
only NPCP communications to and from the 6820 and 4820 printers over
a selected serial port.
All applications use WIN32 API functions to access the drivers. Basic op-
erations are easily implemented by applications through the CreateFile(),
WriteFile(), ReadFile(), DeviceIOControl(), and CloseHandle() Win32
APIs.
Operations to upgrade printer modules, perform printer diagnostics, and
get printer configuration are performed largely via DeviceIOControl()
functions.
About NPCP
NPCP (Norand
®
Portable Communications Protocol) is a proprietary
protocol that provides session, network, and datalink services for Intermec
mobile computers in the Intermec LAN environment used with printers
and data communications.
NPCP Driver Installation and Removal
UseLPT9:fortheNPCPprinterdeviceandCOM1forthelastparame-
ter. COM1 is the connection available via the 700 Series Computer.
Applications use the RegisterDevice() function to install the driver.
DeregisterDevice() uninstalls the device driver and frees memory space
when the driver is not required. Use the HANDLE returned by
RegisterDevice() as the parameter to DeregisterDevice().
Use the RegisterDevice() function call as demonstrated below. Specify the
full path name to the driver starting at the root for the RegisterDevice()
function to work properly. The last parameter to RegisterDevice() is a
DWORD that represents the name of the port for the NPCP stream
driver to use. Build this parameter on the stack if it is not to be paged out
duringthecall.Thefirstparameter“LPT”(DeviceName)andthesecond
parameter “9’ (index), indicate the name of the registered device, such as
LPT9. This is used in the CreateFile() function call.

Opening the NPCP Driver
TheapplicationopenstheNPCPdriverbyusingtheCreateFile()
function. The call can be implemented as follows. The first parameter
“LPT9:”mustreflectthedevicenameandindexusedinthe
RegisterDevice() function call and will fail for any of the following reasons:
hFile = CreateFile(_T(”LPT9:”), GENERIC_WRITE |
GENERIC_READ, 0, NULL, OPEN_ALWAYS, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL,
NULL);
SThe port associated with the device during RegisterDevice() is in use.
SThe NPCP device is already open.
SThe share mode is not set to zero. The device cannot be shared.
SAccess permissions are not set to GENERIC_WRITE |
GENERIC_READ. Both modes must be specified.
Closing the NPCP Driver
Using the CloseHandle() (hFile) function closes the NPCP driver. Where
hFile is the handle returned by the CreateFile() function call.
STRUE = the device is successfully closed.
SFALSE = an attempt to close NULL HANDLE or an already closed de-
vice.
Reading from the NPCP Driver
Reading of the NPCP printers is not supported since all responses from
the printer are the result of commands sent to the printer.
DeviceIoControl() functions are provided where data is to be received
from the printer.
Writing to the NPCP Driver
All Print data can be sent to the printer using the WriteFile() function.
The print data written to the driver must contain the proper printer
commands for formatting. If the function returns FALSE, the NPCP error
may be retrieved using IOCTL_NPCP_ERROR. See the description on
the next page.

197700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual
NPCP Driver I/O Controls
An application uses the DeviceIoControl() function to specify an printer
operation to be performed. Certain I/O controls are required to bind and
close communication sessions with the printer, and must be completed
before any other commands to the driver can execute properly.
The function returns TRUE to indicate the device successfully completed
its specified I/O control operation, otherwise it returns FALSE. The
following I/O control codes are defined:
#define IOCTL_NPCP_CANCEL
CTL_CODE(FILE_DEVICE_SERIAL_PORT,0x400,METHOD_BUFFERED,FILE_ANY_ACCESS)
#define IOCTL_NPCP_BIND
CTL_CODE(FILE_DEVICE_SERIAL_PORT,0x401,METHOD_BUFFERED,FILE_ANY_ACCESS)
#define IOCTL_NPCP_CLOSE
CTL_CODE(FILE_DEVICE_SERIAL_PORT,0x402,METHOD_BUFFERED,FILE_ANY_ACCESS)
#define IOCTL_NPCP_ERROR
CTL_CODE(FILE_DEVICE_SERIAL_PORT,0x403,METHOD_BUFFERED,FILE_ANY_ACCESS)
#define IOCTL_NPCP_FLUSH
CTL_CODE(FILE_DEVICE_SERIAL_PORT,0x404,METHOD_BUFFERED,FILE_ANY_ACCESS)
#define IOCTL_NPCP_IOCTL
CTL_CODE(FILE_DEVICE_SERIAL_PORT,0x405,METHOD_BUFFERED,FILE_ANY_ACCESS)
#define IOCTL_NPCP_PRTVER
CTL_CODE(FILE_DEVICE_SERIAL_PORT,0x406,METHOD_BUFFERED,FILE_ANY_ACCESS)
SIOCTL_NPCP_CANCEL
This cancels all printing at the printer. It flushes the printer buffers and
reinitializes the printer to its default state. No parameters are required.
SIOCTL_NPCP_BIND
This command is required before any data is sent or received by the
printer. Once the driver is opened, the application must bind the com-
munications session with the printer before any data can be sent or re-
ceived by the printer. If an error occurs during the bind, the application
may use IOCTL_NPCP_ERROR to get the current extended error
code. No parameters are required.
SIOCTL_NPCP_CLOSE
This command closes the current session with the printer. This function
always returns TRUE. No parameters are required.
SIOCTL_NPCP_ERROR
This command returns the extended NPCP error code in PL/N format.
The word returned will contain the PL/N compatible error code in the
low byte and completion flags in the high byte. If the frame that re-
turned an error was not received correctly by the printer the
FRAME_NOT_ACKED bit will be set in the high byte. This operation
always returns TRUE. An output buffer of at least 2 bytes is required.
See “NPCP Error Codes” on page 199.
SIOCTL_NPCP_FLUSH
This command allows the application to poll the printer for errors while
the report is completing the print process at the printer. If an error oc-
curs during the polling process, the operation will return FALSE and
the application can get the extended error code by using
IOCTL_NPCP_ERROR. No parameters are required.

NPCP Printer Communications
All NPCP printer communications should be based on the following flow:
1Use CreateFile(); to open the printer driver.
2Use IOCTL_NPCP_BIND to bind a session with the printer;
IOCTL_NPCP_ERROR to check for errors on the bind to ensure suc-
cess; and IOCTL_NPCP_CANCEL to cancel any outstanding print
jobs.
3Use IOCTL_NPCP_FLUSH to poll the printer to free up printer buff-
er resources. Use IOCTL_NPCP_FLUSH to poll the printer’s status. If
an error is reported by the IOCTL, then use IOCTL_NPCP_ERROR
to get the error and determine the correct recovery procedure.
4Use WriteFile(); to write your data to the printer. Check for errors and
that all data were written. Use IOCTL_NPCP_ERROR to get the ex-
tended error. If the error is critical in nature, use
IOCTL_NPCP_CLOSE, followed by CloseFile(), to end the commu-
nications session. Start a new session, beginning with step 1 to ensure
proper printing. For noncritical errors display the error and retry the
operation.
5After all data is sent to the printer, ensure that the printer continues to
print the report properly by polling the printer’s status. Use
IOCTL_NPCP_FLUSH to poll the printer’s status. If an error is re-
ported by the IOCTL, then use IOCTL_NPCP_ERROR to get the
error and determine the correct recovery procedure.

O’Neil Printer Driver
The DTR printer communications driver is a Stream Device Driver
named ONEIL.DLL.
All applications use WIN32 API functions to access drivers. Basic
operations are easily implemented by applications through the
CreateFile(), WriteFile(), DeviceIOControl() and CloseHandle() Win32
APIs.
The driver supports communications to 6804DM, 6804T, 6805A, 6806,
6808, 681T, and PB20 printers over a selected serial port.
DTR Driver Installation and Removal
Your application must install the device driver by using the RegisterDe-
vice() function. The driver name is ONEIL.DLL. We recommend that
you use “DTR” for the Device Name parameter, “1” for the Device Driv-
er index parameter, and use any of the following strings for the last param-
eter:
SNULL (==0) Defaults to COM1 @ 9600
S“COM1” only COM port specified defaults to 9600
S“COM1:9600” sets to COM port and specified bit rate
S“COM1:19200” sets to COM port and specified bit rate
Use the HANDLE returned by RegisterDevice() as the parameter to
DeregisterDevice(). The correct usage of the RegisterDevice() function call
is demonstrated below. You may use DeregisterDevice() to uninstall the
driver.

{
HANDLE hDevice;
TCHAR port[6];

port[1] = TCHAR(‘O’);
port[2] = TCHAR(‘M’);
port[3] = TCHAR(‘1’);
port[4] = TCHAR(‘:’);
port[5] = TCHAR(0);
hDevice = RegisterDevice ( (TEXT(”DTR”), 1, TEXT(”\\WINDOWS\\ONEIL.DLL”),
(DWORD)port);
}

201700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual
Opening the DTR Driver
The application opens the DTR driver by using the CreateFile() function.
The call can be implemented as follows:
hFile = CreateFile(_T(”DTR1:”), GENERIC_WRITE, 0, NULL,
OPEN_ALWAYS, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, NULL);
The first parameter “DTR1:” must reflect the device name and index used
in the RegisterDevice() function call.
The function call will fail for any of the following reasons:
SThe port associated with the device during RegisterDevice() is currently
in use.
SThe DTR device is already open.
SThe share mode is not set to zero. The device cannot be shared.
SAccess permissions are not set to GENERIC_WRITE.
Closing the DTR Driver
Using the CloseHandle() (hFile) function closes the DTR driver. Where
hFile is the handle returned by the CreateFile() function call.
STRUE indicates the device is successfully closed.
SFALSE indicates an attempt to close a NULL HANDLE or an already
closed device.
Writing to the DTR Driver
You can use the WriteFile() function to send all Print data to the printer.
The print data being written must contain the proper formatting printer
commands.
DTR Printer Communications
All DTR printer communications should be based on the following flow:
1Use CreateFile(); to open the printer driver.
2Use WriteFile() to write your data to the printer. Check for errors and
that all data were written.
3Use CloseHandle() to close the driver.
