Chapter 1 — Using the CK60 Handheld ComputerCK60 Handheld Computer with Windows CE User’s Manual 3Learning Software Build VersionsThe Persistent Storage Manager (PSM) is an area of storage which is embedded in a section of the system’s FLASH memory. This storage area is not erased when a cold-boot is performed. It may, however, be erased dur-ing the reflashing process. In addition to storing applications and data files, you do have the option to store a persistent registry to the PSM region.Resetting Your CK60 ComputerYou seldom need to perform a warm-boot or a cold-boot on the CK60 Computer. The CK60 Computer currently uses the configuration currently saved in flash memory during the boot process.In some cases where the CK60 Computer completely stops responding, an application is locked up and does not respond, when you upgrade the firm-ware, or when you reflash the CK60 Computer, it may be necessary to per-form either a warm-boot or a cold-boot.Performing a Warm-Boot on the CK60 ComputerIf your charged CK60 Computer does not resume after pressing I, or if the computer or an application is locked up, you may need to do a warm-boot.•Press and hold I for ten seconds. The CK60 Computer tells you it is performing a warm-boot, then comes back up to the start screen.Performing a Cold-Boot on the CK60 ComputerIf the CK60 Computer or an application is locked up and does not respond to a warm-boot, do the following.1Release the lower clip of the hand strap.To check to see if your CK60 Computer has the latest PSM build or the latest operating system build, double-tap the Internet Explorer icon from the desktop, then scroll down for the latest information displayed beneath the CK60 Version Information title.

The type of scanner you are using and the type of bar code you are decoding determines the way you scan the bar code. The CK60 Computer supports the scanning of 2D images. Plus, if you are using an integrated handle or a tethered scanner, the way you scan bar codes is different.When you unpack the CK60 Computer, these bar code symbologies are enabled:•Code39•UPC/EAN• PDF417 (if supported)If you are using bar code labels that are encoded in a different symbology, you need to enable the symbology on the computer.Scanning with the 2D Area ImagerThe CK60 Computer has the 2D area imager, which provides the ability to scan 2D bar code symbologies and supports omni-directional (360°) scan-ning where you can position the CK60 Computer in any orientation to scan a bar code label. Using the 2D area imager is very similar to taking a picture with a digital camera.Do not look directly into the window area or at a reflection of the laser beam while the laser is scanning. Long-term exposure to the laser beam can damage your vision.Avertissement: Ne regardez pas directement la réflexion d’un rayon laser ou dans la fenêtre du laser lorsque celui-ci est en opération. Si vous regardez trop longtemps un rayon laser, cela peut endommager votre vue. Press this reset button with your stylus.Do not use force or a sharp object when pressing the reset button. Youmay damage the reset button.

Chapter 1 — Using the CK60 Handheld Computer6 CK60 Handheld Computer with Windows CE User’s ManualUsing the BatteryThe CK60 Computer uses a 17.3 Watt-hour, 7.2V, replaceable Lithium-Ion (LiIon) battery. You must fully charge the main battery before you can use the CK60 Computer. When you change the battery, a backup battery (super capacity) maintains your status, memory, and real-time clock for at least 10 minutes.Dispose of used battery packs promptly. Keep away from children. Contact your Intermec representative for replacement batteries.Several factors determine the life of your battery such as extreme tempera-tures, input devices, and your usage. For example, if you use a tethered scanner every day, you need to replace your battery more often than some-one who uses an internal scanner.The CK60 Computer contains an internal super capacitor, a temporary power storage device, that protects state for up to ten minutes. This is to give you time to replace the main battery pack before state is lost. Be sure to put the computer in a suspend mode before doing so.You can configure the battery power fail level 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 ten minutes at room tem-perature if the main battery remains in the handheld computer, using the Power control panel applet (see page 8). The state and time are lost if:• The battery discharges beyond this level.• The battery is removed when the computer is not in suspend mode.Changing and Installing the BatteryMake sure you fully charge the LiIon battery before you install it in your CK60 Computer; and that you take at least 20 minutes to initially charge the backup battery before the backup system is fully functional.The LiIon battery pack used in this device may present a fire or chemi-cal burn hazard if it is mistreated. Do not disassemble it, heat it above 100°C (212°F) or incinerate it.Avertissement: Le paquet de piles d’ions de lithium qui est utilisé dans cet appareil peut presenter un risque feu ou un risque chimique de brûlure s’il est maltraité. Il ne faut pas le désassembler, le réchauffer à une température plus élevée que 100°C (212°F) ou l’incinérer.If you fail to replace the battery immediately, you may lose important state or applications.Attention: Si la batterie n’est pas remplacée immédiatement, des don-nées ou applications importantes risquent d’être perdues.

Chapter 3 — Configuring the CK60 Computer38 CK60 Series Handheld Computer User’s ManualDeveloping Applications for the CK60 ComputerCK60 Computers run applications programmed in Microsoft Embedded Visual C++. Use this section to understand what you need to:• Develop a new application for the CK60 Computer.• Convert an application from an older computer to a CK60 application.Use the Intermec SDK to develop new applications to run on the CK60 Computer. The Intermec SDK is a library of C++ language functions you can use to create applications for the CK60 Computer.See the SDK online user’s manual for help developing your application. The Intermec CK60 SDK User’s Manual contains hardware and software requirements, all of the functions that are supported by the CK60 Com-puter, and how to use these functions.The SDK is part of the Intermec Developer’s Library (IDL), which is avail-able on the Intermec Developer’s Library CD or as a download from the Intermec web site at www.intermec.com.You need these hardware and software components to use the Intermec SDK:• Pentium PC, 400 MHz or higher• Windows 2000 (Service Pack 2 or later) or Windows XP (Home, Profes-sional, or Server)• For native C++ development, Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ version 4.0•For Windows CD 5.0, eVC 4.0 SP4 is required • 128 MB RAM (196 MB recommended)• 360 MB hard drive space for minimum installation (720 MB for com-plete)• CD-ROM drive compatible with multimedia PC specification• VGA or higher-resolution monitor (Super VGA recommended)• Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing deviceConverting Older Computer Applications to CK60 ApplicationsIf you have an existing application that you would like to run on the CK60 Computer, you can use the PSK to convert that application. The Intermec PSK is a set of libraries and tools that you use to convert your existing C applications into C++ applications for use on the CK60 Computer.As you migrate from another computer to a CK60 Computer, you need to consider when converting other computer applications to run on the CK60 Computer, most APIs should work without changes, with the exception that arrow and tab keys may be reversed from other computers. Keyboard
Chapter 3 — Configuring the CK60 ComputerCK60 Series Handheld Computer User’s Manual 39remapping is available on the CK60 Computer should you need to map these keys like that of the other computer.You need these hardware and software components to use the PSK:• a PC with at least 1MB of free disk space running Microsoft Windows 2000 or Windows XP• Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ version 4.0 with Service Pack 2• Intermec SDK and development tools• Intermec PSK, which contains these files and utilities:• PSK functions library• Header files• Example filesThe PSK is part of the Intermec Developer’s Library (IDL), which is avail-able on the Intermec Developer’s Library CD or as a download from the Intermec web site at www.intermec.com.Packaging Applications for the CK60 ComputerUse any of these methods to package applications for installation:• You could package an application as a cabinet (CAB) file. Recommended• For simple applications, the application itself may be the file to deliver.• It could be a directory structure that contains the application, supporting files like ActiveX controls, DLLs, images, sound files, and data files.Consider any of the following when choosing a location into which to store your application:• In the basic CK60 Computer, there are two built-in storage options: the Object Store and the Flash File Store. The Object Store is a Disk on Chip (DOC) Flash that looks like a disk. The Flash File Store is an area of storage which is embedded in a section of the system’s FLASH mem-ory. This storage area is not erased during a cold-boot. It may, however, be erased during the reflashing process. In addition to storing applica-tions and data files, you do have the option to store a persistent registry to the Flash File Store region.• If the optional Secure Digital (SD) storage card is in the system, then consider this card the primary location to place applications installation files. The “\Storage Card” folder represents the SD card.• Use 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.
Chapter 3 — Configuring the CK60 Computer40 CK60 Series Handheld Computer User’s ManualCAB 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 decompresses the files stored in a cabinet and copies them to the user’s system. Intermec recommends using CAB files to install your applications. The CK60 Com-puter uses standard Windows CE CAB files and does install third-party CAB files.For the CK60 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 devices in the “\CabFiles” folder, then perform a warm-boot on the CK60 Computer. There are two methods available to extract a CAB file:• Tap 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.• Use the AUTOCAB method to extract all files when a cold-boot is per-formed on the CK60 Computer. This method is on the Intermec Devel-oper’s Library CD, see its Software Tools User’s Manual for information.Installing Applications on the CK60 ComputerYou can use either the Microsoft ActiveSync application or SD storage cards to install applications on the CK60 Computer.Installing Applications Using Microsoft ActiveSyncYou can use Microsoft ActiveSync to establish a connection between your PC and the CK60 Computer. Microsoft ActiveSync transfers files, synchro-nizes files, performs remote debugging, and other device management activities.See Chapter 2, “Windows CE” for information about the Microsoft Active-Sync application as provided by Microsoft Corporation.This can be a serial, a USB, or an 802.11b/g Microsoft ActiveSync connec-tion. Files can be copied using Windows Explorer on a PC or a laptop com-puter. This is usually good when updating a few CK60 Computers.These instructions assume that Microsoft ActiveSync was installed onto your PC and is up and running. If not, go to Chapter 2, “Windows CE” for an URL from which to download the latest application.1Connect the CK60 Computer to a PC using a USB or serial cable. You may have to detach, then reattach the cable to “wake” the connection.2Wait for a “Connected” message to appear in the Microsoft ActiveSync application to signal a connection to the CK60 Computer. If necessary, select File > Get Connected to initiate a connection or detach, then reat-tach the USB or serial cable.
Chapter 3 — Configuring the CK60 ComputerCK60 Series Handheld Computer User’s Manual 415Within the “Mobile Device” folder, go to the folder where you want the files located on the CK60 Computer, do a right-click for a pop-up menu, then select Paste.6When all of the files are pasted, perform a warm-boot on the CK60 Computer. When the computer reboots, wait for the LED on the top left of your keypad to stop blinking. Tap Start > Programs > Windows Explorer to locate the newly copied executable files, then tap these files to activate their utilities.Installing Applications Using a Secure Digital CardIf you have an SD card for your CK60 Computer, this is the best place for you to install applications.1If you are using an SD card reader, suspend the CK60 Computer, remove its SD card, and place it in the reader. For help, see “Using the Secure Digital Card” on page 15.2Copy your application file to the SD card. If you are using Microsoft ActiveSync to copy the files to the SD card, place the application in the “\Storage Card” folder on the CK60 Computer.3If using an SD card reader, insert the SD card back into the CK60.4Navigate to the “\Storage Card” folder and run your application. After your application is installed, you can run it from the Programs menu.3Click Explore to access the “Mobile Device” folder on your unit.4From your PC, select Start > Windows Explorer, then browse the “C:\Intermec\CK60 Mgmt Tools\CabFiles” path for any CAB files needed for your CK60 Computer.

Many of the startup components rely on folder names to locate information files, applications, or other related data.The registry keys used by FolderCopy and other startup components to retrieve the folder names are as follows:Flash File Store[HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\FlshDrv]"FolderName"="Flash File Store"SD Card (Storage Card)[HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\SDMemory]"Folder"="Storage Card"Disk On Chip[HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC]"Folder"="DiskOnChip"During normal Windows CE system startup, there are Intermec-specific and non-Intermec components that require an orderly start to properly function. These non-Intermec components may also need to start them-selves so the Windows CE device can function properly. Since there are possible configurations that come from using one or more optional built-in peripheral devices, the platform components starting on the next page are required to manage startup.PreShellPreShell (PRESHELL.EXE) is launched prior to the Microsoft Shell and must execute a SignalStartup call before the Microsoft Shell launches.PreShell searches the “\Flash File Store\2577” directory for an executable of the same name. If one exists, that application is launched. This application can do what a customer desires prior to launching the Microsoft Shell. This feature allows end customers to make their own application the shell of the system. If desired, do not exit the custom shell nor call SignalStarted.PostShellPostShell (POSTSHELL.EXE) can launch an application after the Microsoft Shell has launched. There are utility applications that exist that can take advantage of “hooking” the startup for maintenance, for example.Note: This describes the system component startup for Intermec provided components only. It does not describe the bootstrap loader process. It only describes the component installation process provided by Windows CE. It is assumed that you understand the Microsoft CE startup procedures and are familiar with how Microsoft components start up.
Chapter 3 — Configuring the CK60 ComputerCK60 Series Handheld Computer User’s Manual 43PostShell searches the “\Flash File Store\2577” directory for an executable of the same name. If one exists, that application is launched instead. This application can do what a customer desires and is launched after the Microsoft Shell starts initialization. The Microsoft Shell does not require complete initialization before this application begins and that may cause some application or system issues. These issues are expected and are consid-ered normal for those developing PostShell applications. The application must test if the APIs it requires are available.RunAutoRunSystem components are installed and configured during the power up process from a single starting point. RunAutoRun (RUNAUTORUN.EXE), built into the operating system image and located in the “\Windows\Startup” folder, checks for AutoExec (AUTOEXEC.EXE) in a “\2577” folder on a mounted volume in this order:• Secure Digital (SD)• Object Store - may be non-volatile storage or RAM• Disk on Chip - may map as Object Store• Flash File Store - may map as Object Store. This is the default location for the AutoExec program in Intermec systems. Intermec system applica-tions are started from this folder. The ordering of mounted volumes overrides this feature.The folder names used for the mounted volumes above are retrieved from the registry to maintain coherence with the naming of the mounted vol-umes on the platform. These folder names are not hard-coded. If AutoExec is present in the “\2577” folder on any of these media, it executes the pro-gram only on the first media it is found on and no other.AutoExec is reserved for Intermec use to configure Intermec-specific appli-cations. It launches the CAB installer, AutoCab (AUTOCAB.EXE), to install platform cab files to the system, such as Intermec Data Collection.When the AUTOEXEC.EXE process completes, Run Autorun then checks for the existence of AutoRun (AUTORUN.EXE) and executes this pro-gram from the first media it is found on. This order is the same as what is used by AutoExec.
Chapter 3 — Configuring the CK60 Computer44 CK60 Series Handheld Computer User’s ManualAutoRun is reserved for customer use to configure application launch sequences. It launches the CAB installer, AutoCab, as well as any customer programs that added to the AUTOUSER.DAT file and is described on the next page. The hierarchy of these files is shown below.AutoExecAutoExec (AUTOEXEC.EXE) automates operations such as pausing, launching processes, or signaling, and is configured through the AutoExec data file (AUTOEXEC.DAT). This script file must be in the same direc-tory as the program itself. Usage: AutoExec [-%[W]] [-E=["X"]] [-F=["Y"]] [-LOG=] [-W=[Z]]The return code from the process uses the standard error codes defined in WINERROR.H. Note: Intermec considers the usage of the AutoExec data file as “Intermec Private.” AutoExec installs Intermec applications such as Data Collection, Security Supplicants, Intermec Management, control panels, and shortcuts from components found in the Flash File System. Do not modify the AutoExec data file. Instead, use the AutoRun program to add software com-ponents.-% Passes an ID to use in a call to SignalStarted. This argument is useful only during system startup that relies on a SignalStarted to call. W is an integer value.-E Passes a signal event name to use when autoexec completes. X is a string value.-F Overrides the data file to use. This must be a fully qualified name. Default is “autoexec.dat” in the same loca-tion as the AUTOEXEC.EXE program. Y is a string value.-LOG Set to any value logs activity to AUTOEXEC.TXT (in the same location as the AUTOEXEC.EXE pro-gram). Default is disabled.-W Pauses the autoexec process by calling sleep for the number of seconds specified by Z.

This script file must be in the same directory as the program itself.AutoRun supports the following script commands in AUTOUSER.DAT and AUTORUN.DAT.AutoRun handles quoted file names for the first parameter which allows you to specify path names or file names that contain white space. Note that only one set of quotes per command is supported.AUTORUN.DAT entry examples:AutoCopyAutoCopy (AUTOCOPY.EXE) copies or moves files from one location to another. It has no user interface and is configured through command line arguments. It has support for the following parameters, in no particular order:Usage: AutoCopy [-D["W"]] [-L["X"]] [-M[D]] [-Q[Y]] [-S["Z"]] Note: If you need to add steps at boot time, add them to AUTOUSER.DAT, not to AUTORUN.DAT. AUTORUN.DAT is pro-vided by Intermec and is subject to change. AUTOUSER.DAT is the desig-nated place for the end user to add steps to the boot time process.EXEC Launches a specified program, waits for it to complete (up to 10 minutes).CALL Processes a specified file of commands and returns.CHAIN Processes a specified file of commands and does not return.RUN Loads a specified program and executes it.LOAD Loads a specified program and executes it.RUN “Flash File Store\Apps\some.exe” arg1, arg2, arg3CALL “Flash File Store\2577\usercmds.dat”-D Indicates the destination file name and must be fully qualified.

One example of a tool is the Microsoft Remote Registry Editor.AutoCabAutoCab (AUTOCAB.EXE) extracts files, registry settings, and shortcuts from Windows CE cabinet (.CAB) files. The Windows CE startup sequence invokes AutoCab as a part of AutoExec and AutoRun. During the Windows CE startup sequence, AutoCab processes all CAB files in the “\CabFiles” directory relative to the current location of Autocab, unless the location is overridden by command line arguments. AutoCab can run as a stand-alone program to install a CAB file or a directory of CAB files.-D Deletes the registry file after successfully loading it. This allows for systems that have hives implemented.-H Saves the registry path, and all child entries, to the specific .REG registry file.-Q Indicates whether a message box should appear when a fatal error occurs.filename Fully qualified file name to read from or write to, encased in double quotes to support spaces in paths or file names. See examples below.
Chapter 3 — Configuring the CK60 Computer48 CK60 Series Handheld Computer User’s ManualAutoCab only installs the CAB file if it was not installed before by Auto-Cab. To track the installation of a CAB file, AutoCab marks the CAB file with the System attribute. This attribute is ignored if the device is perform-ing a cold-boot on a non-persistent file system.AutoCab preserves the CAB file after installation if the ReadOnly attribute is set. If not set, the CAB file is deleted automatically after installation.Usage:AutoCab [-ChkRst=][-File=][-Force][-Log=][-Move=][-Quiet=][-Show=][-Signal=]Command line switches are described below.If <PathName> references a single CAB file, that file is processed. If <Path-Name> references a directory, all the .CAB files in that directory is pro-cessed. If <PathName> is a wild card pattern, all files matching that pattern is processed, If <PathName> is omitted, InstallCab processes all the .CAB files in directory “\CabFiles.”Example:; Install all cab files in the \Flash File Store\XYZ directory, regardless.AutoCab -FILE="\Flash File Store\XYZ\*.cab" -FORCE; Install only one cab file, use Intermec cab installation displayAutoCab -FILE=”\myCab\app.cab” =show=2Customizing How Applications Load on the CK60 ComputerIf you have several processes that you need running in a specific order as the CK60 Computer turns on, you can use the AutoRun system to customize the way applications load.

Default is disabled.
Chapter 3 — Configuring the CK60 ComputerCK60 Series Handheld Computer User’s Manual 49To create and install the AUTORUN.DAT file on your CK60 Computer1On the CK60 Computer, create a folder called “2577.”2On your desktop, open the Notepad application.3Write commands for AUTORUN.DAT using these supported script commands:4Save this Notepad file as AUTORUN.DAT.5Copy the AUTORUN.DAT file to the “\2577” folder on your CK60 Computer.During every boot, the system scans for AUTORUN.DAT in the “\2577” folder.Here is a sample AUTORUN.DAT file that runs a dialer application and connects to a VPN:EXEC “\Program Files\My Dialer\Dialer.exe” 348-2600EXEC “\Program Files\My VPN\Connect.exe” MyDomainConfiguring CK60 ParametersYou can configure many parameters on the CK60 Computer, such as the bar code symbologies it decodes or the network settings. These characteris-tics are controlled by configuration parameters. The values you set for these configuration parameters determine how the computer operates. Use con-figuration commands to configure the CK60 Computer.Configuring with the Setup AssistantWhen first setting up the CK60 Computer, use the Setup Assistant to set or enable basic network parameters and connect your CK60 Computer to the network. Script Command DescriptionEXEC Launches a specified program and waits up to 10 minutes for it to complete.CALL Processes a specified file of commands, returns. When you use the CALL command, the execution of the current file pauses while a new file that follows the same set of commands executes. Once the new file completes executing, AutoRun.exe continues processing the current file.CHAIN Processes a specified file of commands and does not return. This command calls another file that follows the same set of commands and stops processing the current file.RUN Loads a specified program and executes it. Specifies the show window attribute so that the user interface is visible when the application launches.LOAD Loads a specified program and executes it. Specifies the hide window attribute so the user interface is hidden initially.
Chapter 3 — Configuring the CK60 Computer50 CK60 Series Handheld Computer User’s ManualThe Setup Assistant guides you through setting the following basic network parameters:• Date and time (including time zone)•SSID (Network name)• DHCP server or IP address, subnet mask, and default router• Primary and secondary DNS or WINS addresses•Device nameTo set other parameters, use the Intermec Settings control panel applet or another configuration method. The Setup Assistant runs on the CK60 Computer the first time you turn on the computer.After the Setup Assistant is complete, the CK60 Computer should commu-nicate with the network. A network connection icon appears in the taskbar.Synchronizing the CK60 Computer System Time with a Time ServerIt is important that the time on all of your CK60 Computers be synchro-nized with a network time server to ensure real-time communications and updates. Network time servers acquire Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) from an outside source such as the U.S. Naval Observatory (USNO). The CK60 Computer uses Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) to synchro-nize with a network time server.The default reference time server is the USNO (tock.usno.navy.mil). To synchronize the time on your CK60 with this time server, you must have a valid connection to the Internet. You can also synchronize the CK60 Com-puter system time with a corporate network server within your firewall that is SNTP-capable. To use an internal corporate network server, you need to set the command name in the registry.Configuring the CK60 Computer through the NetworkYou can change the configuration parameters of the CK60 Computer by sending commands through a host computer or through the network. If you are using a network, you can configure one or more CK60 Computers at a time. You can remotely configure the wireless or Ethernet CK60 Com-puter by sending a command from an application on the host computer. Note that you cannot set all parameters through the network. You can only set those commands that have a syntax in the Command Reference Manual.Configuring the CK60 Computer in a TCP/IP Direct Connect NetworkYou can use the host computer to configure a wireless or Ethernet CK60 Computer in your TCP/IP network. To send and receive configuration data, you need to write a host application that can communicate with the Note: You can continue running an application on the CK60 Computer while configuring it from the host computer.

Chapter 3 — Configuring the CK60 Computer52 CK60 Series Handheld Computer User’s ManualConfiguring the CK60 Computer in a UDP Plus NetworkYou can use the host computer to configure a CK60 Computer in your wireless or Ethernet network. To send and receive configuration data or files, you need to write a host application that can communicate with an Intermec Application Server (formerly Gateway or DCS 30X).For help, see the appropriate Gateway or DCS 30X User’s Manual. Use the Terminal Message Format (TMF) protocol to send and receive transactions between the host application and the CK60 Computer.To set up the Intermec Application Server, configure a peer-to-peer desti-nation name for the host application. Create a transaction ID, $NGCF-GRSP, that routes to this destination name. The Intermec Application Server uses the transaction ID to route responses from the CK60 Computer back to the host application. $NGCFGRSP is a special transaction ID that the server uses to forward configuration response data from a CK60.All configuration responses are routed with the $NGCFGRSP transaction ID. The Intermec Application Server cannot track multiple applications sending reader or configuration commands. If you have two host applica-tions sending reader or configuration commands, they must both be con-figured to receive the $NGCFGRSP transactions, and therefore both receive all responses from all CK60 Computers.To set up the host computer, verify that the host computer can communi-cate with the Intermec Application Server.To set up the application, prepare and write a host application that can communicate with the Intermec Application Server and send transactions to and receive transactions from the CK60 Computer in this format. For an example of the host application transaction, see page 51.where:transaction header TMF field commandstransaction headeris a 96-byte field with message number, date, time, source application ID, destinations application ID, transaction ID, and other information.

Chapter 3 — Configuring the CK60 ComputerCK60 Series Handheld Computer User’s Manual 53Configuring the CK60 Computer for Your NetworkThe CK60 Computer is a versatile handheld computer that you can add to your wired or wireless data collection network. You can connect your CK60 Computer to your network using:• Serial communications• 802.11b/g radio communications• Ethernet communications• Bluetootht radio communicationsConfiguring Serial CommunicationsThe CK60 Computer has a serial port to transfer data to and receive data from another device via RS-232 communications. You can also insert the CK60 Computer into a communications dock to transmit data to and receive data from a host computer or PC using RS-232 communications. The serial cable and the communications dock are sold separately. For more information on accessories, see page 17.To use serial communications with your CK60 Computer, connect the CK60 Computer to the serial port of another device, by:• connecting the CK60 Serial Port to the serial port of the other device using the 26-pin to DB9-pin serial cable adapter and a female-to-female null modem RS-232 cable;• connecting the CK60 Dock to the serial port of the other device using a DB9-pin to DB9-pin serial adapter cable, then insert the CK60 Com-puter into the dock; or• connecting a USB cable between the USB connector in the back of the CK60 Dock and your desktop computer.Configuring 802.11b/g Radio CommunicationsThe wireless CK60 Computer has an internal 802.11b/g radio to transfer data using wireless communications. This section of the manual assumes that you have already set up your wireless communications network includ-ing your access points. If you are using a UDP Plus network, you also need to have your Intermec Application Server communicating with a host com-puter. Make sure all components with antennas are at least 30 cm (1 ft) aport when power is applied. Failure to comply could result in equipment damage.Attention: Assurez-vous que la distance entre tous les éléments avec antennes soit d’au moins 30 centimètres (un pied) avant de faire la con-nexion avec l’alimentation électrique, faute de quoi vous risquez d’endommager votre installation.
Chapter 3 — Configuring the CK60 Computer54 CK60 Series Handheld Computer User’s ManualYour CK60 Computer supports these network protocols:•TCP/IP•UDP PlusThe next sections explain the parameters you need to configure for the CK60 Computer to work in your wireless network.Configuring the Network Parameters for a TCP/IP NetworkIn a TCP/IP network, the CK60 Computer communicates with a host computer directly using TCP/IP. The access point acts as a bridge to allow communications between the wired network and the wireless network.To use wireless communications in a TCP/IP network, configure the Net-work Name (SSID), Host IP Address, IP Settings (if not using DHCP), and Network Port parameters on each CK60 Computer in the network.Configuring the Network Parameters for a UDP Plus NetworkIn a UDP Plus network, the CK60 Computer communications with a host computer through the Intermec Application Server.The Intermec Application Server translates UDP Plus packets on the wire-less network into TCP/IP packets on the wired network and vice versa. The access point acts as a bridge to allow communications between the wired network and the wireless network.To use wireless communications in a UDP Plus network, configure the Network Name (SSID), Controller IP Address, IP Settings (if not using DHCP), and Network Port parameters on each CK60 in the network.Configuring Ethernet CommunicationsYou can use the CK60 Computer directly in an Ethernet network if you have ordered the Ethernet option on your CK60 Computer and you insert it into a CK60 Dock. The communications dock as an Ethernet connector that makes it possible for the CK60 Computer to communicate with your Ethernet network.To use the CK60 Computer in an Ethernet network, configure the Net-work Name (SSID), Host IP Address, IP Settings (if not using DHCP), and Network Port parameters on each CK60 Computer in the network. If required for your network, set the Primary and Secondary DNS Server and Primary and Secondary WINS Server parameters on each CK60 Computer in the network.Configuring Bluetooth Radio Communications“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 effort.
Chapter 3 — Configuring the CK60 ComputerCK60 Series Handheld Computer User’s Manual 55Its key features are robustness, low complexity, low power, and low cost. The technology offers wireless access to LANs, the mobile phone network, and the internet for a host of home appliances and portable hand-held devices located up to 100m (328ft) apart (in a line of sight environment).Local BluetoothThe Local Bluetooth control panel applet displays the device name, the device address, enables or disables Bluetooth communications, and sets dis-coverable and connectable settings. This also provides a versions screen for various Bluetooth items in the system.Use this applet to enable Bluetooth communications before you configure radio communications.Wireless PrintingThe Wireless Printing control panel applet separates the task of wireless printing from other Bluetooth management items not relevant to this task.Wireless Printing has a concept of the “current wireless printer.” This printer is the one to which the CK60 Computer makes a connection when the wireless printing COM port is opened. If there is no current wireless printer, there is no wireless printing COM port. Registration and deregis-tration of this COM port is controlled by BTCC. Use the Wireless Printing control panel applet to handle the COM port registration. Customer soft-1Select Start > Settings > Control Panel, then double-tap the Local Blue-tooth icon.2Tap the top button to On, then tap OK to close the applet.Device Name Provides the “friendly” name of your CK60 Computer.Device Address Universally unique and cannot be changed - read-only.Discoverable Check this to ensure your CK60 is discoverable to other Bluetooth devices. The default is for the CK60 Computer to be undiscoverable as it does not offer any incoming services out of the box.Connectable Check this to allow other Bluetooth devices to connect to your CK60 Computer. The default is for the CK60 Computer to be unconnectable as it does not offer any incoming services out of the box.Class of Device This sets how a CK60 appears to other devices during a device discovery. The default is “0x920100” which specifies that the CK60 is capable of services of information, object transfer, and networking.Tap this to “On”
Chapter 3 — Configuring the CK60 Computer56 CK60 Series Handheld Computer User’s Manualware or other test applications can also use this applet to manage the COM port registration and deregistration.The current wireless printer is stored in the registry and is registered and deregistered on Bluetooth stack load/unload. If the current wireless printer changes, the existing wireless printing COM port is deregistered, and the new one is registered instead. The registered COM port is stored in the reg-istry as the “WPort.”For more information on using Bluetooth communications, see the Wireless Printing Development Guide available on the Intermec Developer’s Library CD or the Intermec web site at www.intermec.com.Use any of the following methods to set the wireless printer:• Use a Bluetooth device discovery to locate the remote device (page 56)• Manually enter the remote Bluetooth Device Address (page 57)• Use the Bluetooth Device Manager to choose from previously discovered printers (page 58)To do a Bluetooth device discovery:You can set your wireless printer via a Bluetooth Device Discovery, which takes about half a minute to locate all Bluetooth devices in your range.3Momentarily, Bluetooth devices discovered within range appear.

Chapter 3 — Configuring the CK60 Computer64 CK60 Series Handheld Computer User’s ManualConfiguring SecurityUse the next sections to understand how to configure each type of security on your wireless CK60 Computer. If you choose not to use security, see “Using Configuration Parameters” on page 90 for help.If you are using 802.1x security, this sections also assumes that your authentication server and access points are properly configured.Loading CertificatesIf you choose to use Transport Layer Security (TLS) with WPA or 802.1x security, you need to have a unique client certificate on the CK60 Com-puter and a trusted root certificate authority (CA) certificate. If you choose to use PEAP, you need to load a root CA certificate. You can use a third-party CA to issue unique client certificates and a root certificate.Wireless NetworkYour wireless adapter (network interface card) connects to wireless net-works of two types: infrastructure networks and ad-hoc networks.• Infrastructure networks get you onto your corporate network and the internet. Your CK60 Computer establishes a wireless connection to an access point, which links you to the rest of the network. When you con-nect to a network via an access point, you are using the 802.11b/g infra-structure mode.• Ad-hoc networks are private networks shared between two or more cli-ents, even with no access point.Each wireless network is assigned a name (or Service Set Identifier - SSID) to allow multiple networks to exist in the same area without infringement.If your CA is on your WLAN, select Start > Settings > Control Panel, then double-tap the Certificates icon to access the Certificate control panel applet and obtain the certificates.Note: Do not perform a cold-boot on the CK60 Computer. This resets the time and date.
Chapter 3 — Configuring the CK60 ComputerCK60 Series Handheld Computer User’s Manual 65Intermec Technologies recommends using security measures with wireless networks to prevent unauthorized access to your network and to ensure your privacy of transmitted data. The following are required elements for secure networks:• Authentication by both the network and the user• Authentication is cryptographically protected• Transmitted dataThere are many schemes available for implementing these features.TerminologyBelow are terms you may encounter as you configure your wireless net-work:AES (Advanced Encryption Standard)A block cipher, a type of symmetric key cipher that uses groups of bits of a fixed length - called blocks. A symmetric key cipher is a cipher that uses the same key for both encryption and decryption.CKIP (Cisco Key Integrity Protocol)This is Cisco's version of the TKIP protocol, compatible with Cisco Airnet products.EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol)802.11b/g uses this protocol to perform authentication. This is not necessarily an authentication mechanism, but is a common framework for transporting actual authentication protocols. Intermec provides a number of EAP protocols for you to choose the best for your network.TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol)This protocol is part of the IEEE 802.11i encryption standard for wireless LANs., which provides per-packet key mixing, a message integrity check and a re-keying mechanism, thus overcoming most of the weak points of WEP. This encryption is more difficult to crack than the standard WEP. Weak points of WEP include:• No Installation Vector (IV) reuse protection• Weak keys• No protection against message replay• No detection of message tampering• No key updatesWEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryptionWith preconfigured WEP, both the client CK60 Computer and access point are assigned the same key, which can encrypt all data between the two devices. WEP keys also authenticate the CK60 Computer to the access point - unless the CK60 Computer can prove it knows the WEP key, it is not allowed onto the network.WEP keys are only needed if they are expected by your clients. There are two types available: 64-bit (5-character strings, 12345) (default) and 128-bit (13-character strings, 1234567890123). Enter these as either ASCII (12345) or Hex (0x3132333435).WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)This is an enhanced version of WEP that does not rely on a static, shared key. It encompasses a number of security enhancements over WEP, including improved data encryption via TKIP and 802.11b/g authentication with EAP.WiFi Alliance security standard is designed to work with existing 802.11 products and to offer forward compatibility with 802.11i.WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access)Second generation of WPA security. Like WPA, WPA2 provides enterprise and home Wi-Fi users with a high level of assurance that their data remains protected and that only authorized users can access their wireless networks. WPA2 is based on the final IEEE 802.11i amendment to the 802.11 standard ratified in June 2004. WPA2 uses the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for data encryption and is eligible for FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards) 140-2 compliance.

To remain compatible with other versions of Windows CE, enable this setting. You can configure the registry settings in the following to set the required AutoIP/DHCP behavior:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\PRISMNDS1\TcpIpOther registry keys that can modify the behavior of AutoIP are as follows. You can find the appropriate settings and behavior of each of the AutoInt-erval, AutoIP, AutoMask, AutoSeed, and AutoSubnet keys in Microsoft Help.When a TCP/IP client cannot find a DHCP server, it generates an AutoIP address from the 169.254.xxx.xxx block. The client then tries to check for a DHCP server every 15 seconds and if a DHCP server is found, the client drops the AutoIP address and uses the address from the DHCP server.To disable AutoIP, set the AutoCfg registry entry to “0.” If a DHCP server cannot be found, instead of using AutoIP, the system will display the “Unable to obtain a server assigned IP address” message.Note: If you try to disable AutoIP using a CAB file to set the registry value for AutoIP, remember to set the EnableDHCP value to “1” to keep DHCP enabled.Note: Use DhcpRetryDialogue and DhcpMaxRetry registry settings to extend the number of attempts that a DHCP client makes to get a DHCP address.Note: Change the AutoInterval registry key value to make the client retry more often to obtain a DHCP address.

CK60 Series Handheld Computer User’s Manual 1136Bar Code SymbologiesThis appendix contains a brief explanation of some of the bar code symbol-ogies that the CK60 Handheld Computer decodes and explains some of the general characteristics and uses of these bar code types.The CK60 Computer recognizes a number of the most widely used bar code symbologies. With bar code symbologies, like languages, there are many different types. A bar code symbology provides the required flexibil-ity for a particular inventory tracking system.A symbology may be for particular industries, such as food and beverage, automotive, railroad, or aircraft. Some of these industries have established their own bar code symbology because other symbologies did not meet their needs.Without going into great detail on the bar code structure, note that no two products use the same bar code. Each product gets a unique bar code.Industries that use a particular type of bar code symbology have formed regulating committees or are members of national institutes that issue and keep track of bar codes. This ensures that each organization that contrib-utes to a particular industry conforms to its standard. Without some form of governing body, bar coding would not work.
Chapter 6 — Bar Code Symbologies114 CK60 Series Handheld Computer User’s ManualCodabarCodabar was for retail price-labeling systems. Today it is widely accepted by libraries, medical industries, and photo finishing services.Codabar is a discrete, self-checking code with each character represented by a stand-alone group of four bars and three intervening spaces. Four different start or stop characters get defined and designated “a”, “b”, “c”, and “d”. These start and stop characters are constructed using one wide bar and two wide spaces. A complete Codabar symbol begins with one of the start or stop characters followed by some number of data characters and ending in one of the start or stop characters. It may also contain optional check digit before each stop character.Any of the start or stop characters may be used on either end of the symbol. It is possible to use the 16 unique start or stop combinations to identify label type or other information.Since Codabar is variable-length, discrete, and self-checking, it is a versatile symbology. The width of space between characters is not critical and may vary significantly within the same symbol. The character set consists of “0” through “9”, “-”, “$”, “:”, “/”, “.”, and “+”.The specific dimensions for bars and spaces in Codabar optimize perfor-mance of certain early printing and reading equipment. Codabar has 18 different dimensions for bar and space widths. So many different dimen-sions often result in labels printed out of specification and cause Codabar printing equipment to be more expensive.CodablockCodablock is a stacked symbology from ICS Identcode-Systeme. It was invented by Heinrich Oehlmann and was originally a stack of Code 39 symbols.Each Codablock symbol contains from 1 to 22 rows. The number of char-acters per row is a function of the x-dimension of the symbol. In other words, each row can contain a variable amount of characters. Each symbol has a start and stop bar group that extends the height of the symbol. Each row has a two character row indicator, and the last row of the symbol has an optional check digit. The symbol printing program must calculate not only the number of rows needed as in the other stack symbologies, but also cal-culate the number of characters per row and the print density necessary to best fit the data into the Codablock symbol.The code is a continuous, variable-length symbology that can encode the Code 39 character set (10 digits, 26 letters, space, 6 symbols) and is as dense as a Code 39 symbol at a given print density. For example, the maxi-mum data density is 56 alphanumeric characters per square inch with a symbol using an x-dimension of about 7.5 mils and a bar ratio of 2 to 1.
Chapter 6 — Bar Code SymbologiesCK60 Series Handheld Computer User’s Manual 115Codablock AEnables or disables decoding of Codablock A symbology. Codablock A is a 2D bar code that is an extension of Code 39.Codablock FThe current version is Codablock F which is basically a stack of Code 128 symbols. A Codablock F symbol consists of between 2 and 44 rows, each up to a maximum of 62 symbol characters wide. Each row can be read by a standard code 128 reader and contains additional overhead information relating to row numbering and symbol size to enable the decoded output from each row to be re-assembled to reproduce the complete message in the right sequence.The advantage of this code is that it can be read by moving beam laser scan-ners with very little modification. Codablock was adopted by German blood banks for the identification of blood.Code 11Code 11 satisfies the requirements for a very high density, discrete numeric bar code. The name Code 11 derives from 11 different data characters that can be represented, in addition to a start or stop character.The character set includes the 10 digits and the dash symbol. Each charac-ter is represented by a stand-alone group of three bars and two intervening spaces. Although Code 11 is discrete, it is not self-checking. A single print-ing defect can transpose one character into another valid character. One or two check digits obtain data security.The specifications for Code 11 suggest that this code should have a narrow element width of 7.5 mils. This results in an information density of 15 characters per inch.Code 39Code 39 (C39) is the most widely used symbology among the industrial bar codes. Most major companies, trade associations, and the federal govern-ment find this code to fit their needs. The main feature of this symbology is the ability to encode messages using the full alphanumeric character set, seven special characters, and ASCII characters.Programming for this symbology can be for any length that the application requires. The application program for the CK60 Computer handles sym-bology at least one character but no more than 32 characters in length.When programming the computer for Code 39, it is important to set the symbology limit as close as possible (minimum and maximum bar code lengths being scanned). Doing so keeps the computer bar code processing time to a minimum and conserves battery power.
Chapter 6 — Bar Code Symbologies116 CK60 Series Handheld Computer User’s ManualBar code readers can respond to Uniform Symbology Specification symbols in non-standard ways for particular applications. These methods are not for general applications, because of the extra programming required. Code 39 Full ASCII is one example of a symbology feature or operating mode, and is defined as part of the symbology specification. This mode can be used for general applications or any open system applications.Code 39 Full ASCII ModeIf the bar code reader is programmed for the task, the entire ASCII charac-ter set (128 characters) could be coded using two character sequences: a symbol (“$”,“.”,“%”,“/”) followed by a letter of the alphabet.Concatenated Code 39If the first data character of a symbol is a space, the reader may be pro-grammed to append the information contained in the remainder of the symbol to a storage buffer. This operation continues for all successive sym-bols that contain a leading space, with messages being added to the end of previously stored ones. When a message is read which does not contain a leading space, the contents are appended to the buffer, the entire buffer is transmitted, and the buffer is cleared.Code 93The introduction of Code 93 provided a higher density alphanumeric sym-bology designed to supplement Code 39. The set of data characters in Code 93 is identical with that offered with Code 39. Each character consists of nine modules arranged into three bars and three spaces.Code 93 uses 48 of the 56 possible combinations. One of these characters, represented by a square, is reserved for a start or stop character, four are used for control characters, and the remaining 43 data characters coincide with the Code 39 character set. An additional single module termination bar after the stop character concludes the final space.Code 93 is a variable length, continuous code that is not self-checking. Bar and spaces widths may be one, two, three, or four modules wide. Its struc-ture uses edge-to-similar-edge decoding. This makes the bar code immune to uniform ink spread, which allows liberal bar width tolerances.Code 93 uses two check characters. Its supporters believes this makes it the highest density alphanumeric bar code. The dual check digit scheme pro-vides for high data integrity. All substitution errors in a single character are detected for any message length.Code 128Code 128 (C128) is one of the newest symbologies used by the retail and manufacturing industries. It responds to the need for a compact alphanu-meric bar code symbol that could encode complex product identification.
Chapter 6 — Bar Code SymbologiesCK60 Series Handheld Computer User’s Manual 117The fundamental requirement called for a symbology capable of being printed by existing data processing printers (primarily dot-matrix printers) that produce daily, work-in-progress, job, and product traceability docu-ments. The ability to print identification messages between 10 and 32 char-acters long, on existing forms and labels deemed an important requirement.Code 128 uniquely addresses this need as the most compact, complete, alphanumeric symbology available.Additionally, the Code 128 design with geometric features, improves scan-ner read performance, does self-checking, and provides data message man-agement function codes.Code 128 encodes the complete set of 128 ASCII characters without add-ing extra symbol elements. Code 128 contains a variable-length symbology and the ability to link one message to another for composite message trans-mission. Code 128, being a double-density field, provides two numeric val-ues in a single character.Code 128 follows the general bar code format of start code, data, check digit, stop code, and quiet code. An absolute minimum bar or space dimen-sion of nine mils (0.010 inch minimum nominal ± 0.001 inch tolerance) must be maintained.Characters in Code 128 consist of three bars and three spaces so that the total character set includes three start characters and a stop character.UCC/EAN-128 Shipping Container Labeling is a versatile tool that can ease movement of products and information. The Shipping Container Labeling bar code can take any form and usually has meaning only within the company or facility where applied.Because this random data can get mistaken later for an industry standard code format, the UCC and EAN chose a symbology uniquely identified from these other bar codes. This standard is for maximum flexibility, to handle the diversity of distribution in global markets by cost efficiency.The UCC/EAN-128 Container Labeling specification calls for a FUNC1 to immediately follow the bar code’s start character. FUNC1 also follows any variable-length application field. The specification also calls for the computer to send “]C1” for the first FUNC1. The specification requires that the computer send a “<GS>” (hex 1D) for subsequent FUNC1 codes in the bar code.Because “<GS>” is not compatible with computer emulation data streams, the Uniform Code Council has been asked to change the specification. This change is made to send the same three character sequence “]C1” to identify the embedded FUNC1 codes.This implementation should provide for clean application coding by identi-fying the same sequences for the same scanned codes. If the communication of bar code types is enabled, the Shipping Container Label codes precede with a “J”. These strings will appear on the computer display. The applica-tion may have to allow for strings longer than 48 characters (maximum
Chapter 6 — Bar Code Symbologies118 CK60 Series Handheld Computer User’s Manuallength indicated in the specification). Actual length variance depends on the number of variable-length data fields. Allowing for 60 characters should be sufficient. Within the Code 128 specification, the computer can link bar codes together. If this is to happen, allow for more characters (computer limit is 100 characters).The Application Identifier Standard, that is part of the UCC/EAN Ship-ping Label concept, complements, rather than replaces, other UCC/EAN standards. Most UCC/EAN standards primarily identify products.Several industries expressed the need to standardize more than product identification. The UCC/EAN Code 128 Application Identifier Standard supplies this tool. The standard adds versatility for inter-enterprise exchanges of perishability dating, lot and batch identification, units of use measure, location codes, and several other information attributes.For more detailed information on Code 128 UCC/EAN Shipping Label bar code and Application Identifier Standard, refer to the UCC/EAN-128 Application Identifier Standard specification.Data MatrixData Matrix is a high density 2D matrix code that can store a large amount of information. It has excellent error correction abilities and is mostly used for marking and tracking parts.Data Matrix can store from 1 to about 2000 characters. The symbol is square and can range from 0.001 inch per side up to 14 inches per side. As an example of density, 500 numeric-only characters can encode in a 1-inch square using a 24-pin dot matrix printer.Data Matrix encodes product and serial number information on electrical rating plates; marks surgical instruments in Japan; identifies lenses, circuit boards, and other items during manufacturing.EAN (European Article Numbering)EAN symbology is similar to UPC symbology, except that it contains 13 characters and uses the first two to identify countries.The EAN symbology is used in the retail environment throughout most of Europe. Though similar to UPC symbology, these are not interchangeable.EAN/UCC (Uniform Code Council) CompositeThis component is not a stand-alone symbology. It is a 2D symbol designed to act as a component of existing and new EAN/UCC System lin-ear symbols. This is not designed to carry EAN.UCC System keys (these are carried by the host linear symbol), however, it can carry any of the sys-tem’s Application Identifiers. This symbology family is identified to pro-vide encodation of item attribute data in a confined space.
Chapter 6 — Bar Code SymbologiesCK60 Series Handheld Computer User’s Manual 119Interleaved 2 of 5 (I 2 of 5)I 2 of 5 (Interleaved 2 of 5 Code) is an all-numeric symbology, widely used for warehouse and heavy industrial applications. Its use has been particu-larly prevalent in the automobile industry. The I 2 of 5 symbology can be placed on smaller labels than what the standard UPC symbology requires.I 2 of 5 also provides a little more flexibility on the type of material it can print on. Interleaved 2 of 5 Code has its name because of the way the bar code is configured.I 2 of 5 bars and spaces both carry information. The bars represent the odd number position digits, while spaces represent the even number position digits. The two characters are interleaved as one. Messages encoded with this symbology have to use an even number of characters since two numeric characters always get interleaved together.Matrix 2 of 5Matrix 2 of 5 is a derivative of Code 11 and is a linear bar code limited to ten digits and a start/stop character. Discrete but not self-checking. Matrix 2 of 5 is used with a single Modulo 10 check digit. Compared with Code 11 (using two check digits) and the other industrial symbologies, Matrix 2 of 5 is somewhat more subject to substitution errors and offers no particular advantage.MaxiCodeMaxiCode is a fixed-size code which holds up to 93 data characters. The symbol is composed of a central bulls-eye locator and offset rows of hexago-nal elements; the overall dimensions of the symbol are approximately 1.11 x 1.054 inches. Each element measures 0.035 x 0.041 inches.Created by United Parcel Service, the MaxiCode symbol is for quick auto-mated scanning of packages on high-speed conveyor lines (special cameras can read a MaxiCode on a carton travelling at up to 500 feet per minute).Micro PDF417Micro PDF417 is derived from PDF417. The code has a limited set of symbol sizes and a fixed level of error correction for each symbol size. Mod-ule dimensions are user-specified so that the symbol may be printed with a variety of printers. The symbology allows up to 150 bytes, 250 alphanu-meric characters, or 366 numeric digits to be stored. This is done by speci-fying one of three compaction modes: data, text or numeric. Text Compaction mode permits all printable ASCII characters to be encoded (values 32 to 126 inclusive) as well as selected control characters. Byte Compaction mode permits all 256 possible 8-bit byte values to encode. This includes all ASCII characters value 0 to 127 inclusive and provides for
Chapter 6 — Bar Code Symbologies120 CK60 Series Handheld Computer User’s Manualinternational character set support. Micro PDF417 is designed for applica-tions where the symbol must be smaller than PDF417 will allow.MSI Code (Variant of Plessey)The MSI Plessey bar code is a variant of the Plessey bar code. It is a pulse-width modulated non-self checking code, and is used primarily in store shelf labeling. Each character consists of eight elements, four bars and four spaces. The character set includes the digits 0 through 9. A Modulo 10 checksum is appended to the end of the code. For start and stop checks, MSI employs a single bit pair of 1 as a start symbol and a single bit pair of 0 as a stop symbol. MSI reverses the 1-2-4-8 BCD pattern for bit pair weight-ing to 8-6-2-1.PDF417The PDF417 symbology is a stacked 2D symbology that allows you to scan across rows of code. Each row consists of start/stop characters, row identifi-ers, and symbol characters, which consist of four bars and four spaces each and contain the actual data. This symbology uses error correction symbol characters appended at the end to recover loss of data.PDF417 stores up to 1800 printable ASCII characters or 1100 binary char-acters per symbol. The symbol is rectangular; the shape of the symbol is adjusted to some extent by setting the width and allowing the height to grow with the data. It is also possible to break large amounts of data into several PDF417 symbols which are logically linked. There is no theoretical limit on the amount of data that can store in a group of PDF417 symbols.The capacity of PDF417 can be helpful in applications where the data must travel with the labeled item, where a host database is not always available for quick look-up. PDF417 is used for hazardous materials labeling; storing technical specifications, and calibration data on electronic instruments; encoding fingerprints and photographs on drivers’ licenses.The maximum data density is determined by the smallest elements which can be reliably printed and scanned. Using the smallest recommended ele-ment size of 0.0075 inch wide and 0.010 inch high, the maximum data density in the binary mode is 686 bytes per square inch (106.2 bytes per square centimeter). In the printable ASCII mode the density is 1144 char-acters per square inch (177.2 characters per square centimeter).PlesseyPlessey finds its origin in the pulse width modulated (PWM) code devel-oped in England. It is widely used for shelf markings in grocery stores. Pulse width modulated codes represent each bit of information by a bar and space pair. A zero bit consists of a narrow bar followed by a wide space, while a one bit consists of a wide bar followed by a narrow space. It is
Chapter 6 — Bar Code SymbologiesCK60 Series Handheld Computer User’s Manual 121mainly a numeric symbology (0-9) with six extra characters available for assigning any symbol or letter desired.Plessey codes employ a variety of check characters and a polynomial–based Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC). For start and stop characters, Plessey employs a 1101 and previously used a 0101.This symbology is very limited about what information can be encoded. It is not considered for new applications.QR Code (Quick Response Code)QR Code is a 2D matrix symbology containing dark and light square data modules. It has position detection patterns on three of its four corners and features direct encodation of the Japanese Kana-Kanji character set. A 2D imaging device such as a CCD camera is necessary to scan the symbology. QR Code is designed with selectable levels of error correction. It supports industry standard escape sequences to define international code pages and special encodation schemes. QR Code is used for small item marking appli-cations using a wide variety of printing and marking technologies. This document includes descriptions of the character encodation, symbol struc-ture, reference decode algorithm, and symbol quality measurements for QR Code.RSS (Reduced Space Symbology)The EAN.UCC RSS family has three linear symbologies to use with the EAN.UCC system. Usage is restricted and subject to compliance with the EAN International/UCC rules and registration procedures.RSS 14RSS 14 encodes the full 14-digit EAN.UCC item identification in a linear symbol scanned omnidirectionally by suitably programmed POS scanners. RSS ExpandedRSS Expanded encodes EAN.UCC item identification plus supplementary AI element strings such as weight and “best before” date in a linear symbol that can be scanned omnidirectionally by programmed POS scanners.RSS LimitedRSS Limited encodes a 14-digit EAN.UCC item identification with Indi-cator digits of zero or one in a linear symbol for use on small items that is not scanned at the POS.
Chapter 6 — Bar Code Symbologies122 CK60 Series Handheld Computer User’s ManualTelepenTelepen was devised by George Sims, Managing Director of SB Electronic Systems Limited, in early 1972, this is the only symbology to directly repre-sent the full ASCII character set without shift characters.Telepen carries the double-density numeric-only mode and is very com-pact. The Telepen symbol is up to 8 ASCII characters or16 digit per inch, and is easy to print. It has a fixed 3:1 ratio, with a tolerance at least 0.4x. This symbology is extremely secure, with negligible risk of misreading. It is supported by most leading manufacturers.UPC (Universal Product Code)The UPC (Universal Product Code) is the symbology used throughout the grocery and retail industries. This bar code symbology contains two pieces of numerical information encoded on the bar code, producer identification, and product identification information.The UPC symbol is 12 characters long. The first character of the UPC symbol is a number system character, such as “0” for grocery items and “3” for drug- and health-related items. This symbology is for retail environ-ments such as grocery, convenience, and general merchandise stores.Some retail items are so small that a standard UPC bar code cannot fit on the packaging. When this occurs there is a shorter version of the UPC sym-bology, referred to as UPC-E. UPC-E is six characters long (eight including number system and check digit), about half of a standard UPC bar code.
