About the 700 Series Color Mobile Computer
Audio System
Speaker
A speaker capable of variable volume levels is located on the back of the
computer. This speaker has a transducer volume of 85 dB min at 10 CM
and a frequency range of 1-8 KHz.
Internal Microphone
The internal microphone is located on the bottom of the unit to the left of
the hirose connector.
External Headset Jack
The external headset jack connects a mono headset to your mobile com-
puter for use in noisy environments. The jack is a 2.5 mm, three-conduc-
tor jack, with autosensing of the headset jack insertion which disables the
internal speaker and microphone. The external headset jack is located on
the bottom of the mobile computer to the right of the hirose connector.
Battery
The 700 Series Computer comes equipped with a nominal 14.4
Watt-hour, 7.2V (two 2000 mAh cells), replaceable Lithium-Ion (LiIon)
battery. To view the status of this battery from the 700 Series Computer,
tap Start →Settings →the System tab →the Power icon to view the
current status of both the main battery and the backup battery. Tap ok to
exit this information.
Introduction—Chapter 1
3700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual
Note: The Unit Information control panel applet is only available in the
700 Series Computer if Intermec Content is enabled, the Plus region is
enabled and installed, and a laser scanner is installed.
You can also view the battery status for the 700 Series Computer by
accessing the Unit Information control panel applet. Tap the Unit
Information icon, then tap the Battery Status tab to view the current
status. Tap ok to exit this information.
Low Battery Shutdown
If your computer shuts down because of low battery conditions, your com-
puter will not operate. This is done to ensure that data is protected. Al-
though the battery will 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.
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 72 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.
IntroductionChapter —1
4 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual
System Status Maintained
System status is maintained in “suspend” when the main battery is re-
moved:
S10 minutes for 64 MB low-power chips
S5 minutes for 128 MB low-power chips
CAB Files Within 700C Software Tools CD
If you leave the default destination while you install the “\700 Color
Mgmt Tools” directory onto your desktop PC, then “C:\Intermec\Inter-
mec 700 Color Mgmt Tools\Cab Files” will be the default directory. There
are folders within the “\Cab Files” directory that contain demos and pro-
gram files. See the 700 Series Color Software Tools CD User’ s Manual for
more information about these files.

Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing a Pocket PC. Due to the size and capabili-
ties of this 700 Series Color Mobile Computer, you can keep your most
important business and personal information up-to-date and close at hand.
Microsoft ActiveSync increases the power of your 700 Series Computer by
allowing you to synchronize the information on your desktop or laptop
computer with your 700 Series Computer. Picture yourself in the follow-
ing situations:
SA Calendar reminder alerts you that it is time to catch the bus. You grab
your 700 Color Pocket PC Mobile Computer and catch the bus just in
time. Because ActiveSync keeps the information on your 700 Series
Computer up-to-date, you leisurely review your task list, make notes
about the new books and CDs you want to buy, and read and respond
to e-mail messages. When you get back to the office, ActiveSync trans-
fers any task changes you made, your notes, and your e-mail message
responses to your desktop computer. For more information on Active-
Sync, see “Microsoft ActiveSync” on page 29.
SWhile walking with a colleague, your 700 Color Pocket PC Mobile
Computer rings. You look at the caller ID and see it is your manager
who is calling. She asks if you two are free this afternoon for an emer-
gency meeting. While your colleague fumbles through his paper orga-
nizer, you press a button on your 700 Series Computer and instantly see
a list of today’ s appointments and meetings. You are quickly able to tell
your manager your available times, and make a note of the new meeting
while on the call. You hang up, send an e-mail with a schedule request
for the three of you at the desired location. For more information on
scheduling appointments and meetings, see “Microsoft Pocket Outlook”
on page 31.
SYou are meeting your friends tonight for dinner and a movie. You
download the latest movie information from the Internet to your desk-
top computer and then synchronize it with your 700 Series Computer.
At dinner, you pull out your 700 Color Pocket PC Mobile Computer
and review your movie options with your friends. For more information
on downloading Web pages to your 700 Series Computer, see “Pocket
Internet Explorer” on page 62.

tes. A menu with a list of alternate words appears. Tap the word you want
to use, or tap the writing at the top of the menu to return to the original
writing.
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 that they are not con-
fused with the word above. Write periods and commas above the line.
SFor better recognition, try increasing the zoom level to 300% using the
Tools menu.
SWrite the letters of a word closely and leave big gaps between words so
that the 700 Series 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 will
not be included if you attempt to recognize the writing again.

information, and samples:
Shttp://www.microsoft.com/mobile/pocketpc/downloads/activesync.asp
Using Microsoft ActiveSync, you can synchronize the information on your
desktop computer with the information on your 700 Series Computer.
Synchronization compares the data on your 700 Series Computer with
your desktop computer and updates both computers with the most recent
information. For example:
SKeep Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your 700 Series
Computer with Microsoft Outlook data on your desktop computer.
SSynchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your
700 Series Computer and desktop computer. Your files are automatically
converted to the correct format

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 Series Computer data.
SCopy (rather than synchronize) files between your 700 Series Computer
and desktop computer.
SControl when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization
mode. For example, you can synchronize continually while connected to
your desktop computer or only when you choose the synchronize com-
mand.
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
computer from the Pocket PC Companion CD. For more information on
installing ActiveSync, see your Quick Start card. ActiveSync is already
installed on your 700 Series Computer.

nect your 700 Series Computer to your desktop computer, set up a part-
nership so you can synchronize information between your 700 Series
Computer and your desktop computer, and customize your synchroniza-
tion settings. Your first synchronization process will automatically begin
when you finish using the wizard.

Inbox: Sending and Receiving E-mail Messages
Use Inbox to send and receive e-mail messages in either of these ways:
SSynchronize e-mail messages with Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft
Outlook on your desktop computer.
SSend and receive e-mail messages by connecting directly to an e-mail
server through an Internet Service Provider (ISP) or a network.
Synchronizing E-mail Messages
E-mail messages can be synchronized as part of the general synchronization
process. You will need to enable Inbox synchronization in ActiveSync. For
information on enabling Inbox synchronization, see ActiveSync Help on the
desktop computer. During synchronization:
SMessages are copied from the mail folders of Exchange or Outlook on
your desktop computer to the ActiveSync folder in Inbox on your 700
Series Computer. By default, you will receive messages from the past
three days only, the first 100 lines of each message, and file attachments
of less than 100 KB in size.
SE-mail messages in the Outbox folder on your 700 Series Computer are
transferred to Exchange or Outlook, and then sent from those pro-
grams.
SE-mail messages in subfolders must be selected in ActiveSync on your
desktop computer in order to be transferred.
Connecting Directly to an E-mail Server
In addition to synchronizing e-mail messages with your desktop computer,
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 Series Computer.
You will need to set up a remote connection to a network or an ISP, and a
connection to your e-mail server. For more information, see “Getting Con-
nected” on page 67.
When you connect to the e-mail server, new messages are downloaded to
the 700 Series Computer Inbox folder, messages in the 700 Series Com-
puter Outbox folder are sent, and messages that have been deleted on the
e-mail server are removed from the 700 Series Computer Inbox folder.
Messages that you receive directly from an e-mail server are linked to your
e-mail server rather than your desktop computer. When you delete a mes-
sage on your 700 Series 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 Series 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.

When you receive a message, tap it to open it. Unread messages are dis-

When you connect to your e-mail server or synchronize with your desktop
computer, by default, you will receive messages from the last five days
only, the first 100 lines of each new message, and file attachments of less
than 100 KB in size. The original messages remain on the e-mail server or
your desktop computer.
You can mark the messages that you want to retrieve in full during your
next synchronization or e-mail server connection. In the message list, tap
and hold the message you want to retrieve. On the pop-up menu, tap
Mark for Download. The icons in the Inbox message list give you visual
indications of message status.
You specify your downloading preferences when you set up the service or
select your synchronization options. You can change them at any time:

Managing E-mail Messages and Folders
By default, messages are displayed in one of five folders for each service
you have created: Inbox, Deleted Items, Drafts, Outbox, and Sent Items.
The Deleted Items folder contains messages that have been deleted on the
700 Series Computer. The behavior of the Deleted and Sent Items folders
depends on the options you have chosen. In the message list, tap Tools →
Options →the Message tab, then select your options.
If you want to organize messages into additional folders, tap Tools →
Manage Folders to create new folders. To move a message to another fold-
er, in the message list, tap and hold the message and then tap Move to on
the pop-up menu.
Folder Behavior With a Direct Connection to an E-mail Server
The behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you are using
ActiveSync, SMS, POP3, or IMAP4.
SIf you use ActiveSync:
E-mail messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook will automatically be
synchronized with your 700 Series Computer. You can select to syn-
chronize additional folders by designating them for ActiveSync. The
folders you create and the messages you move will then be mirrored on
the server. For example, if you move two messages from the Inbox fold-
er to a folder named Family, and you have designated Family for syn-
chronization, 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 computer.
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 700 Series Computer and their copies on
the mail server. The next time you connect, the mail server will see that
the messages are missing from the 700 Series Computer Inbox and de-
lete them from the server. This prevents you from having duplicate cop-
ies of a message, but it also means that you will no longer have access to
messages that you move to folders created from anywhere except the
700 Series 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 Series Computer
or desktop computer. This synchronization of folders occurs whenever
you connect to your mail server, create new folders, or rename/delete
folders when connected.

There are multiple ways to get an application to your 700 Series Color
Mobile Computer; just as there are multiple ways to package the applica-
tion for delivery.
Installing ApplicationsChapter —3
76 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual
Packaging an Application
Use any of the following methods to package an application for installa-
tion:
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.
SVia a CAB file.
Consider either of the following when choosing a location into which to
store your application:
SIn the basic 700 Series Computer, there are no built-in storage options
other than the Object Store. The Object Store is RAM that looks like a
disk. Anything copied here will be deleted when a cold-boot is per-
formed on the 700 Series Computer.
SIf the optional SecureDigital or CompactFlash storage card is in the sys-
tem, then consider this card the primary location for placing an applica-
tions install files. The following folders represent either card:
SThe SecureDigital storage card creates the “\SDMMC Disk” folder.
SThe CompactFlash storage card creates the “\Storage Card” folder.
SFiles copied to either of these locations will be safe when a cold-boot is
performed on a 700 Series Computer - providing the AutoRun system is
installed onto the storage card. You can find this system on the Recovery
CD. Copying a CAB file to the “\CABFILES” folder on one of these
cards will automatically extract that CAB file on every cold boot to en-
sure that your system is properly set up. See page 82 for more details on
how this works.
Installing Applications
Consider any of the following options to get the package to the preferred
location on your 700 Series Computer.

Using Microsoft ActiveSync
Note: These instructions assume that the 700 Color Management Tools
portion of the 700 Series Color Software Tools CD was installed onto your
desktop.
The Microsoft ActiveSync tool is located on the 700C Companion CD,
which contains Microsoft products, such as Outlook and ActiveSync. See
Chapter 2, “Pocket PC 2002,” 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 then be copied using File Explorer on a PC or a laptop
computer. This option is usually only good when updating a few 700 Se-
ries Computers.
These instructions assume that Microsoft ActiveSync had been installed
onto your desktop computer and is up and running. If not, go to Chapter
2, “Pocket PC 2002,” for an URL from which you can download the latest
application.
1Connect your 700 Series Computer to your desktop computer via an
ActiveSync cable or IrDA.
2Wait for a “Connected” message to appear in the Microsoft ActiveSync
application to signal a connection to the 700 Series Computer. If neces-
sary, select File →Get Connected to initiate a connection.
3Click Explore to access the Mobile Device directory on your 700 Series
Computer.
Installing ApplicationsChapter —3

4From your desktop, select Start →Windows Explorer, then browse the
applicable path for any of the system files needed for your 700 Series
Computer (listed with their paths). Select to highlight the appropriate
file, right-click the file for a pop-up menu, then select Copy.
SBase operating system files:
“C:\Intermec\Intermec 700 Color Mgmt Tools\Drive Images”
SCAB files:
“C:\Intermec\Intermec 700 Color Mgmt Tools\Cab Files”
5Within the Mobile Device directory, go to the directory where you want
the files located on the 700 Series 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 700 Series
Computer. When the computer reboots, wait for the LED on the top
left of your keypad to stop blinking. Tap Start →Programs →File Ex-
plorer to locate the newly copied executable files, then tap these files to
activate their utilities.
Using the FTP Server
The 700 Series Computer has a built-in FTP Server that connects to a net-
work via Ethernet or 802.11b. This “ftp”s to the IP address of the 700 Se-
ries Computer and places files. The benefit of using FTP is that a script
can be created that will automate the process of copying files to the 700
Series Computer. This option is good for when a large number of 700 Se-
ries Computers need to be updated. See Chapter 7, “Programming,” for
more information.
Using the Application Manager in Unit Manager
This requires the 700 Series Computer to connect to the network via
Ethernet or 802.11b. The process is still manual so it would take longer
than the FTP method but it would still be a better option than ActiveSync
where many 700 Series Computers need to be updated. The Unit Manager
applications are available on the 700 Series Color Unit Manager CD-ROM.
For more information, consult your Intermec sales representative.
Using a Storage Card
The following steps pertain to installing an application using a storage
card.
Copying to a CompactFlash Card
Follow the steps below to install your application on the device using a
CompactFlash storage card:
1Suspend the 700 Series Color Mobile Computer and remove its Com-
pactFlash drive, which holds a SanDisk CompactFlash storage card.
2Using a CompactFlash Adapter card, place the CompactFlash Drive in
your desktop PC card drive.
Installing Applications—Chapter 3
79700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual
3Create a subdirectory on the PCMCIA CompactFlash drive in which to
store your application.
4Add the autorun system to the storage card using the CEImager
application. See the Software Tools User’ s Manual for information about
CEImager.
5Copy your application, data files, and all required DLLs and drivers to
the subdirectory created on the CompactFlash drive.
6Add your application to the AUTOUSER.DAT file on the
“\Storage Card\2577” directory that contains the following statement,
where your directory is the directory on the CompactFlash storage card
where the application was installed, and yourapp.exe is the name of your
application. Finish the “RUN=” statement with a carriage return line-
feed combination. There may be multiple run statements in the file.
RUN=\<your directory>\<yourapp.exe>
7Remove the CompactFlash drive from your desktop computer and rein-
stall it into the 700 Series Computer.
8Warm-boot the 700 Series Computer to add these files to the Compact-
Flash storage card.
If the AUTOUSER.DAT file is found and the “RUN=” statement is cor-
rect, then the task manager will launch and execute your program on start-
up.
Copying to a SecureDigital Storage Card
Do the same steps as for the CompactFlash storage Card, except replace
the “\Storage Card\2577” directory with the “\SDMMC Disk\2577” direc-
tory.
Updating the System Software
You can use the Recovery CD to reinstall or update the operating system
software on the 700 Series Color Computer. For more information, con-
tact your Intermec sales representative.

disk access from “Storage Card” to “SDMMC Disk.”
8Remove the storage card from the desktop PC and install the card into
the 700 Series Color Computer.
9Perform a cold-boot on the 700 Series Color Computer. Files will
automatically install from the storage card upon reboot. Any calls to the
RegFlushKey() API will automatically write the registry to the
appropriate location.
Installing ApplicationsChapter —3
82 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual
When converting a 700 Series Monochrome Computer application to run
on the 700 Series Color Computer, most APIs should work without chan-
ges. Below are a few exceptions:
SThe 700 Series Monochrome Computer used the “\Storage Card” folder
for nonvolatile storage. You may need to change the application to store
data in a volatile location or onto the “SDMMC Disk” if a SecureDigi-
tal 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.
SIf the application will be using the 700 Color switchable dock, use the
API to set the proper port on the dock before communications.
SSome WAN radio options have changed. Review the WAN radio section
to determine if any changes will be required in your application.
SThe arrow and tab keys are swapped from the way they were on the 700
Series Monochrome Computers. Keyboard remapping is available on
the 700 Series Color Computer if these keys need to be changed. See
page 79 for more details.
SNo special SDK is needed to compile applications for the Xscale proces-
sor. Targeting the SA1110 processor will create applications that run on
the 700 Series Color Computer.
Cabinet File Installation
CAB files (short for cabinet files) are like .ZIP files, plus they register DLLs,
create shortcuts, modify registry entries, and run custom set up programs.
Tap a CAB file to extract that file or place the CAB file on one of the ap-
proved storage devices in the “\Cab Files” folder, then perform a warm-
boot on the 700 Series Computer. There are two methods available to ex-
tract a CAB file:
STap a CAB file to extract it. When using this method, the CAB file is
automatically deleted when the extraction process is successful, unless
the CAB file is set with the read-only attribute.
SUse the AUTOCAB method where all files are extracted when a cold-
boot is performed on the 700 Series Computer. This AutoCab applica-
tion is on the Recovery CD, see its “Recovery Help” for more informa-
tion.

The API provided by Intermec Technologies exposes a limited set of rou-
tines that allows a programmer to access and affect the 802.11b network
interface card from within their application. The routines provided will
also read/write values to the CE registry that pertain to the 802.11b radio
driver. By using the provided functions, a programmer can alter the
802.11b parameters of Network Name (SSID), WEP Keys, Infrastructure
Modes, Radio Channel, and Power Management Modes. A programmer
can also retrieve network connect status and signal strength indication
from the RF network card.
The API is contained within the 80211API.DLL file that should be pres-
ent in any load that has the 802.11b networking installed.
SNETWLAN.DLL
This file is the 802.11b driver. It will be present in all 700 CE loads that
use the 802.11b network interface card.
S80211API.DLL
This file is an Intermec authored file that provides the programmer with
a set of API calls to configure or monitor status of the 802.11b network.
SMOD80211.DLL
The CORE module for the 802.11b NIC. It provides the 802.11b sta-
tus information displayed when the CORE application is running.
S80211CONF.EXE
This is the “Control Panel” for configuring the 802.11b network para-
meters. Note that it is an EXE file and is actually called by
CPL802.CPL (see below). It is also called by the CORE application
when the “Configuration” button is pressed.
SCPL802.CPL
A control panel application that does nothing but call
80211CONF.EXE.
S80211SCAN.EXE
Internally manages the Scan List activity.
The 80211API.DLL supports an unlimited number of radio configuration
profiles. These profiles are the same as those set by the Wireless Network
control panel applet that runs on the Windows CE unit. You can configure
different 802.11b profiles and switch between them using the 802.11 API.
See the ConfigureProfile() function on page 106 for more information.

WWAN Radio Options
The 700 Series Computer can integrate either the GSM/GPRS or the
CDMA/1xRTT radio along with the 802.11b radio and the Wireless
Printing option. The WWAN radio option accommodates any Wireless
WAN requirements, such as taking the 700 Series Computer off the prem-
ises in a delivery vehicle to cover a much larger area.
GSM/GPRS
The GSM (Global System for Mobile communications) and GPRS (Gen-
eral Packet Radio Service) wireless infrastructure increases voice capacity,
enables personalized “user-aware” services, and creates networking efficien-
cies to help wireless service providers drive reduced operating costs.
SGSM is an open, nonproprietary system. One of its great strengths is
the international roaming capability. This provides seamless and same-
standardized same-number contactability world-wide. GSM satellite
roaming has extended service access to areas with unavailable terrestrial
coverage.
SGPRS is the high-speed data evolution of GSM. GPRS supports Inter-
net Protocol (IP), enabling access to Internet and intranet content and
applications from GPRS wireless devices. The anticipated data rate for
GPRS is 115 Kbps and throughput rates of 30-60 Kbps have been
achieved initially. This high speed capability enables vehicle applications
to become real-time and to use the Internet for access to corporate data
or information in the form of traffic or navigation.
CDMA/1xRTT SB555
Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) is a form of “spread-spectrum,” a
family of digital communication techniques used in military applications
for years. The core principle of spread-spectrum is the use of noise-like
carrier waves, and, as the name implies, bandwidths much wider than that
required for simple point-to-point communication at the same data rate.
S1XRTT, the first phase of CDMA2000, is designed to support up to
144 KB per second packet data transmission and to double the voice
capacity of current generation CDMA networks.
SSB555 Embedded Module, from Sierra Wireless, provides complete
wireless functionality and integrates easily into the most compact and
slender mobile applications with its small flexible design. The SB555
offers maximum coverage and access to entire CDMA networks.

Wireless Printing
The 700 Series Computer can integrate the Wireless Printing option
(which is equipped with a Bluetooth qualified module by Socket Communica-
tions) along with either the GSM/GPRS or the CDMA/1xRTT radio and
the 802.11b radio. This option uses the network to print information
stored on the 700 Series Computer.
“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, including the Blue-
tooth Device Manager and the BTctrl program, can be found within the
Wireless Printing SDK. This is located on the 700C Software Tools CD,

AutoIP/DHCP
Automatic Private IP Addressing (AutoIP) is enabled by default in Pocket
PC 2002. To remain compatible with other Pocket PC devices, this setting
needs to be enabled. You can configure the registry settings in the
following to set the required AutoIP/DHCP behavior:
SFor Ethernet: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\LAN9001\TcpIp
SFot 802.11b: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\NETWLAN1\TcpIp
Other registry keys that can modify the behavior of AutoIP are as follows.
You can find the appropriate settings and behavior of each of these keys in
Microsoft Help.
SAutoInterval
SAutoMask
SAutoSubnet
SAutoIP
SAutoSeed
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 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, see “Automatic Client Config-
uration” for more information on AutoIP.
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 “Un-
able 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.
To extend the number of attempts that a DHCP client makes to get a
DHCP address, use the DhcpRetryDialogue and DhcpMaxRetry registry
settings.
Change the AutoInterval registry key value to make the client retry more
often to obtain a DHCP address.

SNMP Configuration
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) was developed in the late
1980s to provide a general-purpose internetworking management protocol.
Its primary goal was to be simple so nothing would stand in the way of its
ubiquitous deployment. To this end, it has been very successful as it is cur-
rently deployed in almost every major internetworking product on the
market. However, like many achieved goals, the primary strength can also
become a weakness.
The Focus was “Simple”
An extreme example of simplicity versus power can be realized by compar-
ing SNMP against the Common Management Information Protocol
(CMIP), the ISO entry to the standard management protocol world.
CMIP has a very rich set of primitives and a core set of data elements.
However, to implement CMIP, a subset of the protocol must be selected.
Then, to achieve interoperability, this subset must be agreed upon with
other implementors. As SNMP was specified completely and with no op-
tions, one implemented what was there and interoperability was assured.
Returning to simplicity, SNMP was built simply for a number of reasons
other than time to market: robustness in the face of network failure, low
overhead in the devices running the protocol; and ease of debugging the
protocol itself (the last thing you want to debug is the management protocol
that is supposed to be helping you debug your network). Thus, the SNMP
limited itself to the User Datagram Protocol (UDP). This gave the
implementor the ability and responsibility to manage lost packets and
perform any necessary retransmissions. As network debugging in the face
of changing routes will certainly mean losing packets, retaining this control
from the transport service (layer 4) was considered essential. Since a
network management protocol will run continuously, it is mandatory that
it consume as minimal a network resource as possible. UDP allows the
necessary control over packet transmissions, packet size and content
(packetization). It is a natural choice.
Using SNMP
SNMP has three control primitives that initiate data flow from the
requester (get, get-next, and set). There are two control primitives the
responder uses to reply. One is used in response to the requester’ s direct
query (get-response) and the other is an asynchronous response to obtain
the requester’ s attention (trap). All five of these primitives are carried by
UDP and are thus limited in size by the amount of data that can fit into a
single UDP packet. The relatively small message size was a goal of the
design but for some reasonable set of network management functions, it
imposes a limitation.
Often in network management, it is necessary to obtain bulk information
without knowing at first what is in that bulk. In one case, there is a set of
problems having to do with packets not going where they are supposed to,
due to device misconfiguration that prevents proper protocol operation
where one needs to view the entire set of data.
Network SupportChapter —4
124 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual
Retrieval of Management Information
SNMP has the get-next primitive which permits the viewing of data
without requiring prior knowledge. If you know what you are looking for,
the get primitive will return it. When you want an entire table of
information, the get-next primitive will obtain it. However, unless
employed with care, the get-next primitive can be extremely
resource-intensive in real time, network bandwidth, and the agent’ s CPU
time. The simplest use of the get-next primitive is to start at the beginning
of a table, await the response and then issue another get-next with the
name returned. As an example, say you wanted the next-hop address,
next-hop interface, and route-type from a routing table containing 1000
entries. Using the simplest form of get-next, this would require 2x3x1000
or 6000 packets (get-next and get-response packets, columns, and rows).A
straight-forward optimization would be to request the three columns in a
single packet. This puts the number of packets at 2x1000 or 2000 packets.
In real time, it is the product of the round trip by the number of request.
In agent CPU time, this is still 6000 lookups in the routing table for both
cases.
An Early Approach to Getting More than One Item at a Time
The ability to retrieve only one piece or object at a time has been a
problem for SNMP. This is particularly an issue with the use of this
protocol in wireless environments where the wireless datapipe is small and
overhead due to network management it is considered overhead. One
approach creates multiple get-next requests running concurrently. A second
algorithm, reduces the packet count by combining the multiple concurrent
get-nexts into a single packet. Neither approach has been implemented
which makes network management in wireless environment, though
essential to the success of the operation, tenuous. The issue has been
resolved in SNMP V2 protocol where a get-bulk primitive has been
defined.
Conclusion
Software development moves forward by evolving the unknown into the
known and wireless environments are moving from vertical only
application to wide spread implementation. At the time of the SNMP
inception, it was not possible to conceive of a reliable transport based
network management protocol. Today’ s problems require more
sophisticated data to analyze a problem. This puts the burden back on the
protocol to send and receive data quickly and efficiently. Work continues
in subcommittees to improve SNMP and resolve the issues that are
developing with new applications and new network architectures.

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, these are not available in the Unit Manager applications.
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 on the 700C Tools 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.
Network SupportChapter —4
126 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual
Object Identifiers
Each object has a unique identifier called an OID. OIDs consist of a se-
quence of integer values represented in dot notation. Objects are stored in
a tree structure. OIDs are assigned based on the position of the object in
the tree. Seven MIB OIDs are shown in the followig table.
Example

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 communi-
ty 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, “Control
Panel Applets,” 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
700C Software Tools 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.
You must understand the printer commands available for your specific
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
you to do line printing (print one line at a time) 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 Intermecprinters 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):
SUse CreateFile() to open ports - COM1: can be opened on most de-
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 (NorandPortable Communications Protocol) is a proprietary pro-
tocol 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
Use LPT9: for the NPCP printer device and COM1 for the last parameter.
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 during
the call. The first parameter “LPT” (Device Name) and the second
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
The application opens the NPCP driver by using the CreateFile()
function. The call can be implemented as follows. The first parameter
“LPT9:” must reflect the device name and index used in the
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.

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 133.
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 er-
ror 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 781 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 Driver
index parameter, and use any of the following strings for the last parame-
ter:
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.
Install()
{
HANDLE hDevice;
TCHAR port[6];
port[0] = TCHAR(‘C’);
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);
}
Printer Support—Chapter 5
135700 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.

The 700 Series Color Mobile Computer is available with imaging or laser
scanning technologies, including the following:
SAPS linear imager:
Reads 1D symbologies and PDF 417 bar codes. Linear imaging using
Vista Scanning technology reads low-contrast bar codes, laminated bar
codes, and bar codes displayed on CRT or TRT displays. This imaging
uses harmless LEDs for illumination and does not require any warning
labels. Vista Scanning is more reliable than lasers as it is a completely
solid state with no moving parts or oscillating mirrors.
S2D Imager:
This decodes several stacked 1D and 2D symbologies, including PDF
417 and Data Matrix without “painting.” It can also read 1D codes
from any orientation, for example the scan beam does not need to be
aligned perpendicular to the symbol in order to read it. Photography is a
secondary application; the lens in the device will favor bar code reading.
Photos are 640x480, 256 gray-scale.
S1D laser scanner:
Traditional laser scanner that decodes 1D bar codes.
SPDF 417 laser scanner:
Higher speed laser scanner that can read PDF 417 labels by “painting”
the label.

Scanner Control and Data Transfer
Note: To use the methods described below, enable Data Collection func-
tionality on the 700 Computer using the bootloader configuration menu.
See Chapter 3, “Installing Applications” for more information.
The Data Server and associated software provide several ways to manipu-
late scanner control and data transfer between the scanner subsystem and
user applications:
SAutomatic Data Collection COM Interfaces:
These COM interfaces allow user applications to receive bar code data,
and configure and control the bar code reader engine.
SITCAxBarCodeReaderControl functions:
These ActiveX controls allow user applications to collect bar code data
from the scanner, to configure the scanner, and to configure audio and
visual notification when data arrives. For more information, see the
SDK User’ s Manual.
SITCAxReaderCommand functions:
Use these ActiveX controls to modify and retrieve configuration infor-
mation using the reader interface commands. For more information, see
the SDK User’ s Manual.
SScanning EasySet bar code labels:
You can use the EasySet bar code creation software from Intermec
Technologies Corporation to print configuration labels. Scan the labels
to change the scanner configuration and data transfer settings.
Automatic Data Collection COM Interfaces
Data collection configuration and functionality cannot be accessed by any
means (including control panel applets or remote management applications)
until after the 700 Series Computer has completed initialization, which
occurs during a warm- or cold-boot or after a firmware upgrade.
When initialization is complete, the green LED on the 700 Series Com-
puter stops flashing. Changes made to configuration settings remain after a
warm boot. After a cold-boot, all configuration settings are reset to their
defaults with the exception of scanner configurations, which remain except
for the Symbology Identifier transmission option or the Preamble and
Postamble strings. To reset all configuration settings to the factory defaults,
the S9C scanner firmware must be reloaded.
6 Scanner Support—Chapter
139700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual
The Automatic Data Collection (ADC) functions are accessed through
custom COM interfaces. These interfaces allow the application to receive
bar code data and configure and control the bar code reader engine. The
COM interfaces include the following functions:
SIADC (starting on page 151)
SIBarCodeReaderControl (starting on page 159)
SIS9CConfig (starting on page 172)
SIS9CConfig2 (starting on page 204)
SIS9CConfig3 (starting on page 216)
SIImage Interface (starting on page 221)
Multiple ADC COM Object Support
A 700 Series Computer may have multiple reader engines to decode differ-
ent types of ADC data. For example, a bar code reader engine decodes raw
bar code data and passes it to a bar code reader COM object. An RFID
reader engine decodes raw RFID tag data and passes it to an RFID tag
reader COM object.
ADC COM interfaces are implemented as in-process COM objects. An
instance of the ADC COM object creates a logical connection to access or
control the reader engine. Specifically, the IBarCodeReadConfig or IBar-
CodeReaderControl COM objects can manage the bar code scanner con-
figuration while the ADC COM object can gather data simultaneously.
These ADC COM objects or connections can be created in a single ap-
plication or multiple applications. Up to seven instances of a COM object
can be created for a reader engine. For more information, see “How to
Create and Use the ADC COM Interfaces”below.
For data collection features, ADC COM objects also provide for read
ahead and non-read ahead data access and grid data editing.
Scanner SupportChapter —6
140 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual
How to Create and Use the ADC COM Interfaces
You can also use the Input Device Functions (starting on page 149) to
create and use the ADC COM interfaces.
1Create and initialize the in-process Bar Code Reader object using
ITCDeviceOpen() (see page 149). This function returns a COM
Interface pointer to the Bar Code Reader Object created by the
function.
2Set the data grid if data filtering is desired (default grid gives the applica-
tion all the data). Below is a sample code of how to set the grid to accept
Code 39 data that starts with the letter “A” and is not a reader com-
mand.
ITC_BARCODEREADER_GRID stBCGrid;
stBCGrid.stDIGrid.szDataMask = TEXT(”A%s”);
stBCGrid.stDDGrid.dwSymbologyMask = BARCODE_SYMBOLOGY_CODE39;
stBCGrid.dwDataSourceTypeMask = ITC_DATASOURCE_USERINPUT;
HRESULT hrStatus = pIBCControl->SetAttribute(
ITC_RDRATTR_GRID,
reinterpret_cast<BYTE *>(&stBCGrid),
sizeof(stBCGrid)
);
3Issue a read to accept the bar code data. The timestamp, symbology, and
data type are put into the ITC_BARCODE_DATA_DETAILS struc-
ture. Passing in a pointer to this structure is optional. The following
sample code uses an infinite timeout.
ITC_BARCODE_DATA_DETAILS stBCDetails;
BYTE rgbBCData[1024]; // Buffer used to accept the bar code data
DWORD dwBytesReceived; // Number of bytes in the return data.
HRESULT hrStatus = pIBCControl->Read(
rgbBCData,
sizeof(rgbBCData),
&dwBytesReceived,
& stBCDetails,
INFINITE
);
4Compile and link the application.
Read-Ahead Bar Code Data Access
The Bar Code Reader COM object delivers ADC data to the connection
in read-ahead mode. In this mode, the data is queued until a COM con-
nection is ready to read it. Read-ahead mode decouples reader device per-
formance from the application performance. That is, data is read as fast as
the user can scan it, independent of the connection processing load. No
data will be scanned until the first Read() function is posted.
6 Scanner Support—Chapter
141700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual
Grid Data Filtering
The virtual wedge retrieves scanned Automatic Data Collection (ADC)
data and sends it to the keypad driver so that the 700 Series Computer can
receive and interpret the data as keypad input. The data can be filtered so
that only data conforming to a certain text pattern or symbology will be
sent to an application. After the data is filtered, it can be edited by adding,
deleting, or rearranging portions of the text or by extracting portions of
text for further editing. To filter and edit data, you need to define the
virtual wedge grid parameters.
SGrid Processing:
Grid processing takes place in two steps:
SCompilation:
In which the user’ s grid expressions are checked for errors and
reduced to a binary form for faster matching. This is done whenever
the virtual wedge grid is set or changed by configuration software.
SMatching:
In which data is tested against the grids set in compilation. Matching
can be performed multiple times after a compilation. The AIM
symbology ID of the data being tested, including the enclosing angle
brackets, must be prepended to the incoming data.
Syntax
The basic syntax of each grid expression is:
<symID> filter-expression= > editing-expression
where:
SsymID
Is the AIM symbology ID (see the AIM Symbology ID Defaults table
starting on page 219).
Sfilterexpression
Is any character string that includes valid filter expression values (see
the “Filter Expression Values” table on the next page).
Sediting-expression
Is any character string that includes valid editing expression values (see
the “Editing Expression Values” table on page 144).

2D Imager Overview
The 700 Color optional integrated 2D Imager captures 640x480
256-grayscale images at 20 frames per second. The imager features can be
categorized into data collection features and image acquisition features as
follows:
Data Collection Features
The imager includes a decode engine capable of decoding 2D matrix
symbologies such as Data Matrix as well as the traditional 1D and stacked
symbologies (see the table on the next page for supported symbologies). The
application programming interfaces used to collect bar code data and con-
figure the imager are the same as those used for the laser scanner. This in-
cludes the keyboard wedge as well as the ADC COM interfaces and in-
cludes functionality such as data editing and data filtering. In addition, the
imager has the following configuration features (see “IS9CConfig3 Func-
tions” starting on page 216 for configuration details):
SAimer LED:
A small, rectangular-aiming LED is displayed periodically during the
image capture and decoding process. The initial duration (after scan but-
tons are pressed) of the aimer LED can be configured. This helps to select
the specific bar code to be scanned with multiple bar codes in the
image.
SScaled Illumination LED:
When the ambient light is not sufficient to decode the bar code, the red
illumination LEDs will be turned on to brighten the image. The inten-
sity of the illumination LEDs is scaled to brighten the image just
enough for decode. The reduces power consumption and the effect of
specular reflection.
SWindow size and position:
The default window size (640x480) can be reduced in size and posi-
tioned. This is useful in applications where multiple bar codes may be
present in the image and the specific bar code must be selected to be
read. For example, the window can be sized and positioned around the
aimer LED. The entire bar code must reside in the configured window
for a good decode.
Omni-directional scanning is a feature that does not require configuration.
1D and stacked symbologies as well as 2D matrix symbologies can be
scanned with the 700 Series Computer in any orientation. Thus, time is
not needed to orient the 700 horizontal as with laser scanners.

Image Acquisition Features
The integrated imager provides the following image acquisition features:
SReal-time and Still Image Acquisition:
This includes functions that start and stop image acquisition and read
acquired images.
SSignature Capture:
This allows the application to retrieve an image of the normalized signa-
ture. This means the image is always oriented as if the picture were tak-
en at right angles to the signature, at the same distance, and in the cen-
ter of the image no matter in what orientation the picture was taken.
Signature capture requires a PDF 417 or Code 128 bar code symbology

Use these functions to create and release ADC COM interfaces.
ITCDEVMGMT.H is the header file and ITCDEVMGMT.LIB is the
library.
ITCDeviceOpen
This function opens and initializes a communication channel to the de-
vice. In C++, this function returns a pointer to an interface on which the
methods are called. In C, this function returns a handle, which is the first
parameter in each of the interface function calls.
Syntax
HRESULT ITCDeviceOpen( LPCTSTR pszDeviceName, REFIID iid,
ITC_DEVICE_FLAGS eDeviceFlags, void** ppvObject );
Parameters
pszDevice [in] Pointer to a string that contains the device name
on which to initialize the logical connection.
The device name (Merlin 1) identifies a
communications port.
Use “default” for all internal scanners, such as
Imager, SE900, etc. Use “ExtScanner” for
tethered scanners.
iid [in] The identifier of the interface being requested.
eDeviceFlags [in] Enumeration that identifies the read
characteristics as follows:
SITC_DHDEVFLAG_READAHEAD
Data is buffered on behalf of the calling
applications. Data Buffering starts after the
first call to IADC::Read ().
SITC_DHDEVFLAG_NODATA
The client application is managing the device
to set its configuration or control its interface
but not to collect data from the device.
ppvObject [out] A pointer to the interface pointer identified by
iid. If the object does not support this interface,
ppvObject is set to NULL.
Return Values
HRESULT that indicates success or failure.
Remarks

Parameters
ppvObject [in,out] A pointer to the interface pointer created by
ITCDeviceOpen. If successful on output, this
pointer is set to NULL.
Return Values
None.
Remarks
On Windows, this interface decrements the reference count. So alterna-
tively, IUnknown::Release() could be used and must be used if reference
counting is performed with IUnknown::AddRef(). On DOS, this function
closes all resources associated with the channel.

IS9CConfig Functions
This interface provides methods to set and retrieve the 700 Series Com-
puter bar code configuration. All supported symbologies are initialized to
their defaults when the S9C firmware is loaded.
GET/SET functions use enumerations as their parameters. In most enu-
merations, there is an enumerator xx_NO_CHANGE (such as
ITC_CODE39_NO_CHANGE), where xx refers to a particular enum-
eration. This enumerator can be used during a call to a SET to indicate
that no change is to be made to that particular parameter. This prevents
the called function from having to format the same S9C command and
send down to the S9C scanner.
For all symbologies, to set a bar code length of “any length,” use a value of
“0” for the bar code length argument.
IS9CConfig functions are the following. IS9CCONFIG.H is the header
file and ITCUUID.LIB contains the IID_IADC Interface GUID value
used to obtain the interface.
