700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual
Chapter 1 — Introduction
If your computer shuts down because of low battery conditions, your computer does not operate. This is done to ensure that data is protected. Although the battery does protect the data against loss for several hours, you
should connect your computer to a power source when you first detect a
low battery condition.
Your computer contains an internal super capacitor, a temporary power
storage device, that protects data for up to ten minutes. This is to give you
time to replace the main battery pack before that data is lost. Be sure to put
the computer in a suspend mode before doing so.
If you have at least one device in your 700 Series Computer (radio, scanner, imager, or Ethernet), the battery power fail level is set so that after the
system shuts down in a low battery condition, there is still sufficient charge
to allow the unit to remain configured, keep proper time, and maintain
DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) for at least 23 to 32 hours at
room temperature if the main battery remains in the mobile computer.
The configuration and time are lost if:
S The battery discharges beyond this level.
S The battery is removed when the computer is not in suspend mode.
S A cold reset is performed on the computer.
You can modify RAM maintenance in a limited way. On the 700 Computer, tap Start > Settings > the System tab > the Power icon > the Battery tab. Drag the slider bar to the right to change the suspend voltage to
favor suspend time over rundown time, then click ok to exit.

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

Microsoft ActiveSync
Visit the following Microsoft Web site for the latest in updates, technical
information, and samples:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/resources/communities/default.mspx
Using Microsoft ActiveSync, you can synchronize the information on your
desktop with the information on your 700 Color Computer. Synchronization compares the data on your 700 Color Computer with your desktop
and updates both computers with the most recent information. For example:
S Keep Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your 700 Color
Computer with Microsoft Outlook data on your desktop.
S Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your
700 Color Computer and desktop. Your files are automatically converted to the correct format
Note: By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types
of information. Use ActiveSync options to turn synchronization on and off
for specific information types.
With ActiveSync, you can also:
S Back up and restore your 700 Color Computer data.
S Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your 700 Color Computer
and desktop.
S Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization
mode. For example, you can synchronize continually while connected to
your desktop or only when you choose the synchronize command.
S Select which information types are synchronized and control how much
data is synchronized. For example, you can choose how many weeks of
past appointments you want synchronized.
Before you begin synchronization, install ActiveSync on your desktop from
the Windows Mobile Companion CD. For more information on installing
ActiveSync, see your Quick Start card. ActiveSync is already installed on
your 700 Color Computer.
After installation is complete, the ActiveSync Setup Wizard helps you connect your 700 Color Computer to your desktop, set up a partnership so
you can synchronize information between your 700 Color Computer and
your desktop, and customize your synchronization settings. Your first synchronization process automatically begins when finished using the wizard.
After your first synchronization, look at Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks on
your 700 Color Computer. Notice that information you have stored in
Microsoft Outlook on your desktop was copied to your 700 Color Computer, and you did not have to type a word. Disconnect the 700 Color
Computer from your computer and you are ready to go!

in Inbox.
Using ActiveSync, you can synchronize information in Microsoft Outlook
or Microsoft Exchange on your desktop with your 700 Color Computer.
You can also synchronize this information directly with a Microsoft Exchange server. Each time you synchronize, ActiveSync compares the
changes you made on your 700 Color Computer and desktop or server
and updates both computers with the latest information. For information

Synchronizing Calendar
Calendar items stored on your device can be synchronized with calendar
items on your desktop or Microsoft Exchange Server. (Note that you can
only synchronize information directly with an Exchange Server if your
company is running Microsoft Mobile Information Server 2002 or later.)
Calendar synchronization is automatically selected in ActiveSync.
Calendar items entered on one computer are copied to the other during
synchronization. Handwritten notes and drawings are saved as metafiles
(pictures).
For more information on synchronization, see ActiveSync Help on the
desktop.
Why Use Categories in the Calendar?
Use categories to group related tasks, contacts, and appointments. Then,
use these groupings to quickly display only the information you want. For
example, you can easily share your device with another by assigning your
appointments to a category with a special project’s name. You can then use
this category to filter Calendar and only display appointments for that
project.

Synchronizing Notes
Notes can be synchronized between your desktop and device either
through notes synchronization or file synchronization. Notes synchronization synchronizes the notes on your 700 Color Computer with Outlook
Notes on your desktop. File synchronization synchronizes all notes on
your 700 Color Computer with the My Documents folder for the 700
Color Computer on your desktop.
To synchronize your notes through notes synchronization, first select the
Notes information type for synchronization in ActiveSync. The next time
you synchronize, all notes in My Documents and its subfolder on your
device appear in Outlook Notes on your desktop. Notes that contain only
text appear as regular notes in Outlook on your desktop, while notes containing written text or drawings appear in the device format. In addition,
all notes in the Notes group in Outlook on the desktop appear in Notes on
the device.
To synchronize your notes as files, in ActiveSync, select the Files information type for synchronization and clear the Notes information type. When
you select Files, the My Documents folder for the 700 Color Computer is
created on your desktop. All .PWI files placed in the My Documents folder on your device and all .DOC files placed in the My Documents folder
for the 700 Color Computer on your desktop are synchronized. Passwordprotected files cannot be synchronized.
ActiveSync converts documents during synchronization. For more information on synchronization or file conversion, see ActiveSync Help on the
desktop.
Note: When you delete or change an item on either your desktop or 700
Color Computer, the item is changed or deleted in the other location the
next time you synchronize.
Note: If you synchronize your notes using file synchronization and then
later decide to use notes synchronization, all of your notes are synchronized with Outlook on your desktop and no longer store in the My Documents folder for the 700 Color Computer.

Inbox: Sending and Receiving E-mail Messages
To switch to Inbox on your 700 Color Computer, tap Start > Inbox.
You can receive Internet e-mail messages and SMS messages in Inbox. Internet e-mail messages are sent by using an address you receive from your
Internet service provider (ISP) or your employer. SMS messages are sent
and received through your wireless phone service provider by using a
phone number as the message address.
You can send and receive e-mail by synchronizing with your desktop, or
by connecting to a Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3) or Internet Message Access Protocol 4 (IMAP4) mail server. You need to set up an e-mail account
for each method that you use except for Microsoft ActiveSync, which is set
up by default. The ActiveSync folder on your 700 Color Computer stores
messages that you send and receive through synchronization with a desktop. Account names appear as folders in the folder list (located on the left,
under the navigation bar) in the Inbox message list.
With synchronization, messages are synchronized between the device Inbox and the PC Inbox by using ActiveSync and Microsoft Exchange or
Microsoft Outlook. For more information, see “Synchronizing E-mail Messages” below.
When connecting to a POP3 or IMAP4 server, you use a modem to connect to your Internet service provider (ISP), or a modem or Ethernet card
to connect to the local area network to which your e-mail server is connected. You can also use your phone to connect by using a cellular line connection. For more information, see “Connecting to a Mail Server” on page
75.
Synchronizing E-mail Messages
After selecting Inbox for synchronization in ActiveSync, e-mail messages
are synchronized as part of the general synchronization process. During
synchronization:
S Messages are copied from the Inbox folder on your desktop or the
Microsoft Exchange server to the Inbox folder on your 700 Color Computer. (Note that you can only synchronize information directly with an
Exchange Server if your company is running Microsoft Mobile Information Server 2002 or later.) By default, you receive messages from the
last three days only, the first 100 lines of each new message, and file attachments of less than 100 KB in size.
S Messages in the Outbox folder on your device are transferred to Exchange or Outlook and then sent from those programs.
S The messages on the two computers are linked. When you delete a message on your 700 Color Computer, it is deleted from your desktop the
next time you synchronize.
S Messages in subfolders in other e-mail folders in Outlook are synchronized only if they were selected for synchronization in ActiveSync.
For information on initiating Inbox synchronization or changing synchronization settings, see ActiveSync Help on your desktop or select Start >
Help > Connections to see Connections Help.

Chapter 2 — Windows Mobile 2003
Managing E-mail Messages and Folders
Each e-mail account and SMS account has its own folder hierarchy with
five default folders: Inbox, Outbox, Deleted Items, Drafts, and Sent Items.
The messages you receive and send through the mail account are stored in
these folders. You can also create additional folders within each hierarchy.
The Deleted Items folder contains messages that were deleted on the device. The behavior of the Deleted Items and Sent Items folders depends on
the Inbox options you have chosen.
The behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you are using
ActiveSync, SMS, POP3, or IMAP4.
S If you use ActiveSync,
e-mail messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook automatically synchronize with your device. You can select to synchronize additional folders
by designating them for ActiveSync. The folders you create and the
messages you move are then mirrored on the server. For example, if you
move two messages from the Inbox folder to a folder named Family,
and you have designated Family for synchronization, the server creates a
copy of the Family folder and copies the messages into that folder. You
can then read the messages while away from your desktop.
S If you use SMS,
messages are stored in the Inbox folder.
S If you use POP3
and you move e-mail messages to a folder you created, the link is broken
between the messages on the device and their copies on the mail server.
The next time you connect, the mail server sees that the messages are
missing from the device Inbox and deletes them from the server. This
prevents you from having duplicate copies of a message, but it also
means that you no longer have access to messages that you move to folders created from anywhere except the 700 Color Computer.
S If 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 connect to your mail server, whether it is from your 700 Color Computer
or desktop. This synchronization of folders occurs whenever you connect to your mail server, create new folders, or rename or delete folders
when connected.
For all accounts except ActiveSync, you can access folder options by tapping Tools > Manage Folders.

700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual
Chapter 2 — Windows Mobile 2003
Connecting to a Mail Server
In addition to synchronizing e-mail messages with your desktop, you can
send and receive e-mail messages by connecting to an e-mail server using a
modem or network card connected to your 700 Color Computer. You
need to set up a remote connection to a network or an ISP, and a connection to your e-mail server. For more information, see “Getting Connected”
on page 98.
When you connect to the e-mail server, new messages are downloaded to
the 700 Color Computer Inbox folder, messages in the 700 Color Computer Outbox folder are sent, and messages that were deleted on the e-mail
server are removed from the 700 Color Computer Inbox folder.
Messages that you receive directly from an e-mail server are linked to your
e-mail server rather than your desktop. When you delete a message on
your 700 Color Computer, it is also deleted from the e-mail server the
next time you connect based on the settings selected in ActiveSync.
You can work online or offline. When working online, you read and respond to messages while connected to the e-mail server. Messages are sent
as soon as you tap Send, which saves space on your 700 Color Computer.
When working offline, once you have downloaded new message headers or
partial messages, you can disconnect from the e-mail server and then decide 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.
Setting Up or Changing an Account
To set up an account:
S To set up a POP3 or IMAP4 e-mail account, tap Accounts > New Account. Follow the instructions in the New Account Wizard.

Installing Applications
There are multiple ways to get an application to your 700 Series Color
Mobile Computer; just as there are multiple ways to package the application for delivery.
700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual
121
Chapter 3 — Installing Applications
Packaging an Application
Use any of these methods to package an application for installation:
S For very simple applications, the application itself might be the only file
that needs to be delivered.
S It could be a directory structure that contains the application, supporting files like ActiveX controls, DLLs, images, sound files, and data files.
S Or, you could package an application via a CAB file.
Consider any of the following when choosing a location into which to
store your application:
S In the basic 700 Color Computer, there are two built-in storage options: the Object Store and the Persistent Storage Manager (PSM). The
Object Store is RAM that looks like a disk. Anything copied here is deleted when a cold-boot is performed on the 700 Color Computer. The
PSM is an area of storage which is embedded in a section of the system’s
FLASH memory. This storage area is not erased during a cold-boot. It
may, however, be erased during the reflashing process. In addition to
storing applications and data files, you do have the option to store a persistent registry to the PSM region.
S If the optional Secure Digital or CompactFlash storage card is in the
system, then consider this card the primary location for placing an applications install files. The following folders represent either card:
S The Secure Digital storage card creates the “\SDMMC Disk” folder.
S The CompactFlash storage card creates the “\Storage Card” folder.
Note: The 730 Mobile Computer does not support the Compact
Flash storage card.
S 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 purposes; however, reading is okay.
Files copied to any of these locations are safe when a cold-boot is
performed on a 700 Color Computer — providing the AutoRun system is
installed in the appropriate location You can find this system in the 700
Color Management Tools portion of the Intermec Developer’s Library CD.
Copying a CAB file to the “\CABFILES” folder on one of these cards
automatically extracts that CAB file on every cold-boot to ensure that your
system is properly set up (see page 128).
122

Chapter 3 — Installing Applications
Installing Applications
Consider any of the following options to get the package to the preferred
location on your 700 Series Computer.
S Microsoft ActiveSync
S FTP Server (page 124)
S Secure Digital or CompactFlash storage cards (page 124)
Using Microsoft ActiveSync
Note: These instructions assume the 700 Color Management Tools portion of the Intermec Developer’s Library CD was installed on your desktop.
The Microsoft ActiveSync tool is located on the 700 Color Companion CD.
See Chapter 2, “Windows Mobile 2003,” for information about this tool as
provided by Microsoft Corporation.
This can be a serial, USB, Ethernet, InfraRed, or 802.11b ActiveSync connection. Files can be copied using File Explorer on a desktop or a laptop
computer. This is usually good when updating few 700 Color Computers.
Note: The 730 Computer does not support Ethernet.
These instructions assume that Microsoft ActiveSync was installed onto
your desktop and is up and running. If not, go to Chapter 2, “Windows
Mobile 2003,” for an URL from which to download the latest application.
1 Connect your 700 Color Computer to your desktop computer via an
ActiveSync cable or IrDA.
2 Wait for a “Connected” message to appear in the Microsoft ActiveSync
application to signal a connection to the 700 Series Computer. If necessary, select File > Get Connected to initiate a connection.

to activate their utilities.
Using the FTP Server
The 700 Color Computer has a built-in FTP Server that connects to a network via Ethernet, 802.11b, or WAN (Wireless Access Network). This
allows connections to the 700 Color Computer to perform file transfers or
computer management functions. Another benefit is you can create FTP
scripts to automate the process of copying files to the 700 Color Computer. This option is good for when a large number of 700 Color Computers
need updating. See Chapter 7, “Programming,” for more information.
Using a Storage Card
Use the following steps to install an application using a storage card:
Copying to a CompactFlash Card
Note: These instructions do not apply to the 730 Computer.

Migrating from a 700 Monochrome Computer
As you migrate from a 700 Monochrome Computer to a 700 Color Computer, you need to consider the following: When converting a 700 Monochrome Computer application to run on the 700 Color Computer, most
APIs should work without changes. Below are a few exceptions:
S The 700 Monochrome Computer uses the “\Storage Card” folder for
nonvolatile storage. You may need to change the application to store
data onto the “SDMMC Disk” folder instead of the “\Storage Card”
folder if a Secure Digital storage card is present in the system.
S If the application uses the RegFlushKey() API, it must first verify that
the proper media is available in the system and call the special API mentioned in Step 7 on the previous page.
S If the application is using the 700 Color switchable dock, use the
IOCTL_DOCK_SWITCH value from the
IOCTL_HAL_ITC_WRITE_SYSPARM function to set the proper
port on the dock before communications. See more information about
this KernelIOControl function in Chapter 7, “Programming.”
S Some WAN radio options have changed. Review the WAN radio information in Chapter 4, “Network Support,“to determine if any changes are
required in your application.
S Arrow and tab keys are reversed from the 700 Monochrome Computer.
Keyboard remapping is available on the 700 Color Computer should
you need to map these keys like that of the 700 Monochrome Computer (see page 125).
S Special SDKs are not needed to compile applications for the Xscale processor. Targeting the SA1110 processor creates applications that run on
the 700 Color Computer.
Cabinet File Installation
CAB files (short form of “cabinet” files) are compressed folders as defined by
Microsoft. A “cabinet” file is a single file, usually suffixed with .CAB, that
stores compressed files in a file library. A compressed file can be spread
over several cabinet files. During installation, the setup application decompresses the files stored in a cabinet and copies them to the user’s system.
For the 700 Color Computer, CAB files register DLLs, create shortcuts,
modify registry entries, and run custom setup programs. Tap a CAB file to
extract that file or place the CAB file on one of the approved storage devices in the “\CabFiles” folder, then perform a warm-boot on the 700 Color Computer. There are two methods available to extract a CAB file:
S Tap a CAB file to extract it. With 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.
S Use the AUTOCAB method to extract all files when a cold-boot is performed on the 700 Color Computer. This method is on the Intermec
Developer’s Library CD, see its Software Tools User’s Manual for information.

CDMA Radio Set Up
Note: Set up and provision information is also available in the 700 Color
CDMA Radio Setup Quick Start Guide P/N: 962-054-063.
This tells you how to set up your CDMA radio in your 760 Computer.
Below are terms to familiarize you with CDMA radio technology:
Activation
The process of programming the radio with the lock code (MSL) and phone number (MIN) to
allow it to communicate on the provider’s network. Once activation is complete you can make
voice calls (if enabled by the carrier) with the mobile computer.
Data Provisioning
The process of activating the ability for the CDMA radio to establish data connections, such as
connecting to the Internet. The CDMA radio makes data connection only after it is activated
and data provisioned.
NID (Network ID) A numeric value programmed into the CDMA radio at the factory or during the activation
process. Your carrier may or may not use this value, but your carrier may provide this for activation purposes.
SID (System ID)
A numeric value programmed into the CDMA radio at the factory or during the activation
process. This number is used by your carrier to determine if the radio belongs to its CDMA
network. Your carrier may provide this number for activation purposes.
Note: Descriptions in this chapter are for Sprint PCS, Bell Mobility, Telus, and Verizon Networks versions of the SB555 Watcher program. Other carriers may be added pending regulatory and carrier approval.

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

Wireless Personal Area Networking
“Bluetooth” is the name given to a technology standard using short-range
radio links, intended to replace the cables connecting portable and fixed
electronic devices. The standard defines a uniform structure for a wide
range of devices to communicate with each other, with minimal user effort. Its key features are robustness, low complexity, low power, and low
cost. The technology also offers wireless access to LANs, the mobile phone
network, and the internet for a host of home appliances and portable
hand-held interfaces.
Documentation
Information about additional Bluetooth software is in the Wireless Printing SDK and in the Wireless Printing Development Guide (on the Intermec
Developer’s Library CD, via the “\Wireless Printing SDK” directory off the
root).
About the Application
Bluetooth is not started automatically by default after a cold-boot is performed. To run Bluetooth, tap Start > Settings > the Connections tab >
the Bluetooth icon.
The 700 Series Computer retains the Bluetooth state when warm-boots
are performed, for example:
S If Bluetooth is active, and a warm-boot was performed, the 700 Series
Computer boots up with the Bluetooth state activated and Bluetooth
virtual COM ports (such as printing) registered. However, you must
reactivate connections, as the system does not do these automatically.
S If Bluetooth is inactive, and a warm-boot was performed, the 700 Series
Computer boots up with Bluetooth deactivated.
Mode
The default tab activates or deactivates Bluetooth. When Bluetooth is activated, the 700 Series Computer can discover and connect to remote devices.

AutoIP/DHCP
Automatic Private IP Addressing (AutoIP) is enabled by default in
Windows Mobile 2003. To remain compatible with other versions of
Pocket PC, this setting needs to be enabled. You can configure the registry
settings in the following to set the required AutoIP/DHCP behavior:
S For Ethernet:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\LAN9001\TcpIp
S Fot 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.
S AutoInterval
S AutoMask
S AutoSubnet
S AutoIP
S AutoSeed
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 available out on the Microsoft Developer Network web site (http://www.msdn.com), see “Automatic
Client Configuration” for more information on AutoIP.
To disable AutoIP, set the AutoCfg registry entry to “0.” If a DHCP server cannot be found, instead of using AutoIP, the system will display the
“Unable to obtain a server assigned IP address” message.
Note: If AutoIP is defined using CAB files, the EnableDHCP registry key
must also be defined and set to “1” before the system will attempt to obtain a DHCP address.
Note: To extend the number of attempts that a DHCP client makes to get
a DHCP address, use the DhcpRetryDialogue and DhcpMaxRetry registry
settings.
Note: Change the AutoInterval registry key value to make the client retry
more often to obtain a DHCP address.

SNMP Configuration on the 700 Series Computer
In short, SNMP is an application-layer protocol that facilitates the exchange 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 Information 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 management station.
Management Information Base
The Management Information Base is a database that contains information
about the elements to be managed. The information identifies the management element and specifies its type and access mode (Read-Only, ReadWrite). MIBs are written in ASN.1 (Abstract Syntax Notation.1) — a machine independent data definition language. Note: Elements to be managed
are represented by objects. The MIB is a structured collection of such objects.
You will find the following MIB files either in the 700 Color Management
Tools portion of the Intermec Developer’s Library CD or on the web via
http://www.intermec.com:
S INTERMEC.MIB
Defines the root of the Intermec MIB tree.
S ITCADC.MIB
Defines objects for Automated Data Collection (ADC), such as bar
code symbologies.
S ITCSNMP.MIB
Defines objects for Intermec SNMP parameters and security methods,
such as an SNMP security IP address.
S ITCTERMINAL.MIB
Defines objects for 700 Series parameters, such as key clicks.
700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual
191
Chapter 4 — Network Support
Object Identifiers
Each object has a unique identifier called an OID, which consist of a sequence of integer values represented in dot notation. Objects are stored in
a tree structure and OIDs are assigned based on the position of the object
in the tree. For example, the internet OID is equal to 1.3.6.1. Seven MIB
OIDs are shown in the following table:
MIB Object Identifiers
MIB-II Item
OID
Group or Table
Description
ifNumber

Address is the valid non-zero IP address of the 700 Series Computer.
ipAdEntIfIndex
1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20.1.2.IpAddress IP address Table
(ipAddrTable)
The index value that uniquely identifies the interface to which this
entry is applicable (same as ifIndex).
ipAdEntNetMask 1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20.1.3.IpAddress IP address Table
(ipAddrTable)
The subnet mask associated with
the IP address of this entry (same as
Subnet Mask).
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 community string is “public” and “private” is the default read/write community
string. See the specific configuration parameter to find its OID. To configure the 700 Series Computers using SNMP:
1 Configure 700 Series Computers for RF or Ethernet communications.
2 Determine the OID (Object Identifier) for the parameter to be changed. The Intermec base OID is 1.3.6.1.4.1.1963.
3 Use 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, “Configurable Settings,” to learn more about these parameters.

Printing ASCII
The following methods for printing using Pocket PC at this time is as follows:
S Add port drivers to print ASCII directly to the port.
S Use LinePrinter ActiveX Control from the Software Developer’s Kit
(SDK) — see the SDK User’s Manual for more information.
S Via wireless printing - see the Wireless Printing Development Guide on the
Intermec Developer’s Library CD for more information.
Directly to a Port
Printing directly to the port sends RAW data to the printer. The format of
this data depends upon your application and the printer capabilities.
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 format 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 (display to printer). Most Intermec® printers use Epson Escape Sequences to
control print format operations.
These commands are available in documentation you receive with your
printers or from technical support. Win32 APIs are required to print directly to the port.
Directly to a Generic Serial Port
To print directly to a generic serial port printer (non-Intermec printers):
S Use CreateFile() to open ports - COM1: can be opened on most devices.
S Use WriteFile() to send data directly to the printer.
S Use 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 directly by the Windows CE load via the IrSock API provided by the Microsoft 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 operations are easily implemented by applications through the CreateFile(),
WriteFile(), ReadFile(), DeviceIOControl(), and CloseHandle() Win32
APIs.
Operations to upgrade printer modules, perform printer diagnostics, and
get printer configuration are performed largely via DeviceIOControl()
functions.
About NPCP
NPCP (Norand® Portable Communications Protocol) is a proprietary
protocol that provides session, network, and datalink services for Intermec
mobile computers in the Intermec LAN environment used with printers
and data communications.
NPCP Driver Installation and Removal
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.

HANDLE hDevice;
TCHAR port[6];
port[0] = TCHAR(‘C’);
port[1] = TCHAR(‘O’);

TEXT(“\\STORAGE CARD\\WINDOWS\\NPCPPORT.dll”), (DWORD)port);
700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual
195
Chapter 5 — Printer Support
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);
S The port associated with the device during RegisterDevice() is in use.
S The NPCP device is already open.
S The share mode is not set to zero. The device cannot be shared.
S Access 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.
S TRUE = the device is successfully closed.
S FALSE = an attempt to close NULL HANDLE or an already closed device.
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)

S IOCTL_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.
S IOCTL_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 communications session with the printer before any data can be sent or received 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.
S IOCTL_NPCP_CLOSE
This command closes the current session with the printer. This function
always returns TRUE. No parameters are required.
S IOCTL_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 returned an error was not received correctly by the printer the
FRAME_NOT_ACKED bit will be set in the high byte. This operation
always returns TRUE. An output buffer of at least 2 bytes is required.
See “NPCP Error Codes” on page 199.
S IOCTL_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 occurs 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:
1 Use CreateFile(); to open the printer driver.
2 Use IOCTL_NPCP_BIND to bind a session with the printer;
IOCTL_NPCP_ERROR to check for errors on the bind to ensure success; and IOCTL_NPCP_CANCEL to cancel any outstanding print
jobs.
3 Use IOCTL_NPCP_FLUSH to poll the printer to free up printer buffer 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.
4 Use WriteFile(); to write your data to the printer. Check for errors and
that all data were written. Use IOCTL_NPCP_ERROR to get the extended error. If the error is critical in nature, use
IOCTL_NPCP_CLOSE, followed by CloseFile(), to end the communications session. Start a new session, beginning with step 1 to ensure
proper printing. For noncritical errors display the error and retry the
operation.
5 After 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 reported by the IOCTL, then use IOCTL_NPCP_ERROR to get the
error and determine the correct recovery procedure.

O’Neil Printer Driver
The DTR printer communications driver is a Stream Device Driver
named ONEIL.DLL.
All applications use WIN32 API functions to access drivers. Basic
operations are easily implemented by applications through the
CreateFile(), WriteFile(), DeviceIOControl() and CloseHandle() Win32
APIs.
The driver supports communications to 6804DM, 6804T, 6805A, 6806,
6808, 681T, and PB20 printers over a selected serial port.
DTR Driver Installation and Removal
Your application must install the device driver by using the RegisterDevice() 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 parameter:
S NULL (==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);

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:
S The port associated with the device during RegisterDevice() is currently
in use.
S The DTR device is already open.
S The share mode is not set to zero. The device cannot be shared.
S Access 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.
S TRUE indicates the device is successfully closed.
S FALSE 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:
1 Use CreateFile(); to open the printer driver.
2 Use WriteFile() to write your data to the printer. Check for errors and
that all data were written.
3 Use CloseHandle() to close the driver.
