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 computer for use in noisy environments. The jack is a 2.5 mm, three-conductor 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. 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual Chapter 1 — Introduction 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 computer will not operate. This is done to ensure that data is protected. Although 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: 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. 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual Chapter 1 — Introduction System Status Maintained System status is maintained in “suspend” when the main battery is removed: S 10 minutes for 64 MB low-power chips S 5 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\Intermec 700 Color Mgmt Tools\Cab Files” will be the default directory.

S Send 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: S Messages 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. S E-mail messages in the Outbox folder on your 700 Series Computer are transferred to Exchange or Outlook, and then sent from those programs. S E-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 Connected” 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 Computer 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 message 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 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 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 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. 42 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual Chapter 2 — Pocket PC 2002 Using the Message List Messages you receive are displayed in the message list. By default, the most recently received messages are displayed first in the list. 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual 43 Chapter 2 — Pocket PC 2002 When you receive a message, tap it to open it. Unread messages are displayed in bold. 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: S Change options for Inbox synchronization using ActiveSync options. For more information, see ActiveSync Help. S Change options for direct e-mail server connections in Inbox on your 700 Series Computer. Tap Tools → Options → the Service tab, then tap the service you want to change. Tap and hold the service and select Delete to remove a service. 44 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual Chapter 2 — Pocket PC 2002 Composing Messages To compose a message: 1 Tap New. 2 In the To field, enter an e-mail or SMS address of one or more recipients, separating them with a semicolon, or select a name from the contact list by tapping the Address Book button. All e-mail addresses entered in the e-mail fields in Contacts appear in the Address Book. 3 Compose your message. To enter preset or frequently used messages, tap My Text and select a message. 4 Tap Send when you have finished the message. If you are working offline, the message is moved to the Outbox folder and will be sent the next time you connect. If you are sending an SMS message and want to know if it was received, tap Edit → Options → Request SMS text message delivery notification before sending the message. 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual 45 Chapter 2 — Pocket PC 2002 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 folder, 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. S If 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 synchronize 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 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 computer. 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 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 delete them from the server. This prevents you from having duplicate copies 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. 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 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. 46 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual Chapter 2 — Pocket PC 2002 Companion Programs The companion programs consist of Microsoft Pocket Word, Microsoft Pocket Excel, Windows Media Player for Pocket PC, and Microsoft Reader.

S It could be a directory structure that contains the application, supporting files like ActiveX controls, DLLs, images, sound files, and data files. S Via a CAB file. Consider either of the following when choosing a location into which to store your application: S In 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 performed on the 700 Series Computer. S If the optional SecureDigital 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 SecureDigital storage card creates the “\SDMMC Disk” folder. S The CompactFlash storage card creates the “\Storage Card” folder. S Files 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 ensure 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. S Microsoft ActiveSync S FTP Server (page 78) S Application Manager in Unit Manager (page 78) S SecureDigital or CompactFlash storage card (page 78) 76 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual Chapter 3 — Installing Applications 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 connection. 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 Series 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. 1 Connect your 700 Series 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.

When the computer reboots, wait for the LED on the top left of your keypad to stop blinking. Tap Start → Programs → File Explorer 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 network via Ethernet or 802.11b. This “ftp”s to the IP address of the 700 Series 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 Series 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: 1 Suspend the 700 Series Color Mobile Computer and remove its CompactFlash drive, which holds a SanDisk CompactFlash storage card. 2 Using a CompactFlash Adapter card, place the CompactFlash Drive in your desktop PC card drive. 78 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual Chapter 3 — Installing Applications 3 Create a subdirectory on the PCMCIA CompactFlash drive in which to store your application. 4 Add the autorun system to the storage card using the CEImager application. See the Software Tools User’ s Manual for information about CEImager. 5 Copy your application, data files, and all required DLLs and drivers to the subdirectory created on the CompactFlash drive. 6 Add 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 linefeed combination. There may be multiple run statements in the file. RUN=\\ 7 Remove the CompactFlash drive from your desktop computer and reinstall it into the 700 Series Computer. 8 Warm-boot the 700 Series Computer to add these files to the CompactFlash storage card. If the AUTOUSER.DAT file is found and the “RUN=” statement is correct, then the task manager will launch and execute your program on startup. 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” directory. 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, contact your Intermec sales representative. 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual 79 Chapter 3 — Installing Applications Application Migration Note: These instructions assume that the 700 Color Management Tools portion of the 700C Software Tools CD was installed onto your desktop and that a storage card has been added to the base configuration of the 700 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. 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual 81 Chapter 3 — Installing Applications When converting a 700 Series Monochrome Computer application to run on the 700 Series Color Computer, most APIs should work without changes. Below are a few exceptions: S The 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 SecureDigital 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 will be using the 700 Color switchable dock, use the API to set the proper port on the dock before communications. S Some WAN radio options have changed. Review the WAN radio section to determine if any changes will be required in your application. S The 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. S No special SDK is needed to compile applications for the Xscale processor. 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 approved storage devices in the “\Cab Files” folder, then perform a warmboot on the 700 Series Computer. There are two methods available to extract a CAB file: S Tap 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. S Use the AUTOCAB method where all files are extracted when a coldboot is performed on the 700 Series Computer. This AutoCab application is on the Recovery CD, see its “Recovery Help” for more information. 82 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual 4 Network Support The 700 Series Color Mobile Computer can integrate up to three radios in a single unit, and will automatically install the appropriate software for radio use when the unit is powered on.

The WWAN radio option accommodates any Wireless WAN requirements, such as taking the 700 Series Computer off the premises in a delivery vehicle to cover a much larger area. GSM/GPRS The GSM (Global System for Mobile communications) and GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) wireless infrastructure increases voice capacity, enables personalized “user-aware” services, and creates networking efficiencies to help wireless service providers drive reduced operating costs. S GSM is an open, nonproprietary system. One of its great strengths is the international roaming capability. This provides seamless and samestandardized same-number contactability world-wide. GSM satellite roaming has extended service access to areas with unavailable terrestrial coverage. S GPRS is the high-speed data evolution of GSM. GPRS supports Internet 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. S 1XRTT, 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. S SB555 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. 110 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual Chapter 4 — Network Support WAN Radio CORE Module The WAN radio CORE module displays helpful information about either the GSM/GPRS radio or the CDMA/1xRTT radio option built into your 700 Series Computer.

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 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, including the Bluetooth Device Manager and the BTctrl program, can be found within the Wireless Printing SDK. This is located on the 700C Software Tools CD, via the directory off the root of the toolkit called “Wireless Printing SDK.” It also can be found in the Wireless Printing Development Guide, also on the 700C Tools CD. Bluealps CORE Module The Bluealps CORE module displays helpful information about this Wireless Printing option within your 700 Series Computer. Below are descriptions and meanings for each piece of information provided via the General tab, reading from top to bottom starting on the left. 120 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual Chapter 4 — Network Support S Bluetooth Point to Point: This is the network type. “Point to Point” is the type of connection supported as of this publication. Scatternets are not supported. The only supported application is wireless printing to Intermec wireless printers, such as the 781T Belt-Mount Printer. S Device Address: This provides the network address, which in this case, will be replaced by the device address of the Bluetooth compatible module within your 700 Series Computer. Note that this address is universally unique. S Discoverable: The following is displayed depending on whether the 700 Series Computer is configured to be discoverable: “Gen” Generally discoverable “Lim” Limited discovery “No” Not discoverable S Connectable: This defines whether the 700 Series Computer is able to accept other devices with Bluetooth compatible modules connecting to it. “Yes” if the connection is doable, “No” if not. S Bondable: This defines the security element of the 700 Series Computer, which is the bondable setting. If the unit is bondable, then “Yes” is displayed, otherwise “No” is displayed. S Module Firmware: This reflects the firmware (hardware) version of the 700 Series Computer. When the CORE module first installs onto the unit, the firmware level is unknown, thus “...reading” is displayed. Once the firmware level is read from the unit, then a three-digit decimal is displayed. S Stack [Stack Version] [loaded/not loaded]: [Stack Version] displays the Bluetooth stack version, which appears in the “1.2.3.4” format. If the stack is loaded, then “loaded” is displayed after the stack version, otherwise “not loaded” is displayed. S Device Name: This displays the device name as assigned to the Bluetooth compatible module by the end-user. If the configured name is longer than the space allowed, it will be truncated. S BTpak Version: This displays the driver version of additional Bluetooth components within the 700 Series Computer and is usually presented in the “1.2.3” format. The version may also contain a letter at either end. S History: This bar graph displays an active history of this wireless printer driver’ s quality of connections. S Friendly Indicator: If the Bluetooth stack is loaded, then all three dots are filled. These dots are left empty if the stack is not loaded. These dots do vary based on the CORE application’ s perception of the overall connection quality. 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual 121 Chapter 4 — Network Support 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: 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, 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. 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. 122 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual Chapter 4 — Network Support 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 currently 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 comparing 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 options, 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. 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual 123 Chapter 4 — Network Support 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. 124 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual Chapter 4 — Network Support 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, 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 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 on the 700C Tools 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 125 Chapter 4 — Network Support Object Identifiers Each object has a unique identifier called an OID. OIDs consist of a sequence 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 The internet OID = 1.3.6.1. MIB Object Identifiers MIB-II Item OID Group or Table Description ifNumber 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.1.0 Interfaces Group Indicates the number of adapters present in the system. For the 700 Series Computer, if one adapter is present in the system, then ifNumber = 1 and ifIndex = 1. ifIndex 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.1.ifIndex Interfaces Table (ifTable) A unique value for each interface. The value ranges between 1 and the value of ifNumber. ifDescr 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2.ifIndex Interfaces Table (ifTable) A textual string containing information about the interface. ifType 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.3.ifIndex Interfaces Table (ifTable) An integer containing information about the type of the interface. It is equal to 1 for Other. ipAdEntAddr 1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20.1.1.IpAddress IP address Table (ipAddrTable) The IP address to which this entry’ s addressing information pertains (same as 700 IP address), where IP 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, “Control Panel Applets,” to learn more about these parameters. 126 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual 5 Printer Support The 700 Series Color Mobile Computer works with the following printers from Intermec Technologies. Contact an Intermec Representative for information about these printers. S 6820 A full-page, 80-column printer. S 6808 A 4-inch belt-mount printer. S 781T A 2-inch belt-mount printer with a Bluetooth compatible module from Socket Communications. S 782T A 2-inch workboard printer. 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual 127 Chapter 5 — Printer Support 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 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 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. 128 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual Chapter 5 — Printer Support 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. 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(”LPT”), 9, TEXT(“\\STORAGE CARD\\WINDOWS\\NPCPPORT.dll”), (DWORD)port); 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual 129 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. 130 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual Chapter 5 — Printer Support 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) 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 133. 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. 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual 131 Chapter 5 — Printer Support 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.

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 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); 134 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual Chapter 5 — Printer Support 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. 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual 135 Chapter 5 — Printer Support 136 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual 6 Scanner Support The 700 Series Color Mobile Computer is available with imaging or laser scanning technologies, including the following: S APS 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. S 2D 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. S 1D laser scanner: Traditional laser scanner that decodes 1D bar codes. S PDF 417 laser scanner: Higher speed laser scanner that can read PDF 417 labels by “painting” the label. 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual 137 Chapter 6 — Scanner Support Scanner Control and Data Transfer Note: To use the methods described below, enable Data Collection functionality 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 manipulate scanner control and data transfer between the scanner subsystem and user applications: S Automatic Data Collection COM Interfaces: These COM interfaces allow user applications to receive bar code data, and configure and control the bar code reader engine. S ITCAxBarCodeReaderControl 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. S ITCAxReaderCommand functions: Use these ActiveX controls to modify and retrieve configuration information using the reader interface commands. For more information, see the SDK User’ s Manual. S Scanning 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 Computer 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. 138 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual Chapter 6 — Scanner Support 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: S IADC (starting on page 151) S IBarCodeReaderControl (starting on page 159) S IS9CConfig (starting on page 172) S IS9CConfig2 (starting on page 204) S IS9CConfig3 (starting on page 216) S IImage Interface (starting on page 221) Multiple ADC COM Object Support A 700 Series Computer may have multiple reader engines to decode different 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 IBarCodeReaderControl COM objects can manage the bar code scanner configuration while the ADC COM object can gather data simultaneously. These ADC COM objects or connections can be created in a single application 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. 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual 139 Chapter 6 — Scanner Support 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. 1 Create 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. 2 Set the data grid if data filtering is desired (default grid gives the application 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 command. 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 (&stBCGrid), sizeof(stBCGrid) ); 3 Issue a read to accept the bar code data. The timestamp, symbology, and data type are put into the ITC_BARCODE_DATA_DETAILS structure. 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 ); 4 Compile 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 connection is ready to read it. Read-ahead mode decouples reader device performance 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. 140 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual Chapter 6 — Scanner Support 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. S Grid Processing: Grid processing takes place in two steps: S Compilation: 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. S Matching: 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: filter-expression= > editing-expression where: S symID Is the AIM symbology ID (see the AIM Symbology ID Defaults table starting on page 219). S filterexpression Is any character string that includes valid filter expression values (see the “Filter Expression Values” table on the next page). S editing-expression Is any character string that includes valid editing expression values (see the “Editing Expression Values” table on page 144). 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual 141 Chapter 6 — Scanner Support Filter Expression Values A filter-expression can be any string of text containing the operators listed below. Filter Expression Values Operator Meaning Example Any character string not containing the special characters: . ? [ ] { } or \ (period, question mark, left/right brackets, left/right curly brackets, backslash). Match the string literally. super20 matches super20 \c where c is any of the special characters: . ? [ ] { } or \ (period, question mark, left/right brackets, left/right curly brackets, backslash) Remove any special meaning of c. \* matches * . (period) Any character. . matches x ^ (tarot) Anchor the match at the beginning of the string. ^abc matches abc, but not aabc $ (dollar sign) Anchor the match at the end of the string. abc$ matches abc but not abcc ? (question mark) Repeat the preceding expression zero or one time. aa? matches a or aa * (asterisk) Repeat the preceding expression zero or more times. ab*c matches ac, abc, abbc, etc. + (plus symbol) Repeat the preceding expression one or more times. ab+c matches abc, abbc, etc. [characterclass] A series of nonrepeating characters denoting a class. [abcdefhijklmnopqrstuvwxyz] is the class of all lowercase alphas. [rangel`rangeh] A sequential range of nonrepeating characters denoting a class. [a-z] is the class of all lowercase alphas. [^characterclass] Any character except those denoted by a character class. [^a-z] matches a numeric digit or a punctuation mark. [characterclass_tag] [:alnum:] - Alphanumeric characters [[:alpha:]]* matches Dynaction, [:alpha:] - Alphabetic characters Selmer, or NewWonder but not Su[:blank:] - Tab and space per20 [:cntrl:] - Control characters [:digit:] - Numeric characters [:graph:] - All printable characters except space [:lower:] - Lowercase letters [:print:] - All printable characters [:punct:] - Punctuation [:space:] - White space characters [:upper:] - Uppercase letters [:xdigit:] - Hexadecimal digits {num} Matches exactly num repetitions. a{3} matches only aaa {min,} Matches at least num repetitions. a{3,} matches aaaa but not aa 142 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual Chapter 6 — Scanner Support Filter Expression Values (continued) Operator Meaning Example {min,max} A repetition operator like + or *, ex- [a-z]{1,3} matches a, ab, or aab, but cept the number of repetitions is spe- not aabc cified by min and max. (expr1)|(expr2) Matches expr1 or expr2. a|b matches a or b (subexpression) Grouping operator to consolidate terms into a subexpression, which can override the order of evaluation. Overriding evaluation order: (ab)*c matches c, abc, ababc, etc. Back-referencing: (aa)bb\1 matches The subexpression is available for lat- aabbaa. er matching or editing by means of \index, where \index is between 1-9 and refers to the index-th group in the string, counting from left to right. \0 refers to the whole expression. 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual 143 Chapter 6 — Scanner Support Editing Expression Values This table lists the valid operators for editing expressions. Operator Meaning \index The index-th subexpression (reading left-right) M([0-9]{6})= > \1 produces 270494 when in the matched string. index must be between M270494 is scanned, stripping off the first 0`9. \0 is the matched expression itself. character. & or \0 The matched expression itself. M[0-9]{6}= > \0-Conn and M[0-9]{6}= > &-Conn both produce M270494-Conn when M270494 is scanned. \xhh A concise representation of the lower 256 characters in the Unicode set. When converted, this is still a 16-bit value. \x0d inserts a carriage return. any character string Inserts any character string in the output string. Example See previous examples. S is optional. If present, only data in the indicated symbology is accepted. S If the entire expression is blank, all data is passed unchanged. If = > editing-expression is omitted, then all data that passes through the filter is returned unchanged. If = > editing expression is present, the data is transformed by editing-expression. S Multiple grid expressions can be compiled and are related in a logical OR fashion. These are expressed as single grid expressions separated by semicolons. When matching is attempted, the first grid expression from left to right that achieves a match will cause the data to be accepted. S All pattern expressions and parsed data are in Unicode. Grid Filter Example 1 This accepts a serial number in which the encoded number is a six-character string beginning with M followed by six numeric characters. S Filter M[0-9]{6} S Effect When a bar code, such as M270494, is scanned, all data is passed. Grid Filter Example 2 This formats a scanned Social Security number and forms it into an XML element tagged “SSN”. S Filter ([0-9]{3})([0-9]{2})([0-9]{4})= > \1-\2-\3 S Effect A bar code, such as 123456789, is passed and reformatted to123-45-6789 144 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual Chapter 6 — Scanner Support Grid Filter Example 3 This deletes the first three and last five characters of a 21-character Code 128 label and deletes the first two characters of a 10-character Interleaved 2 of 5 label. S Filter <]C > ...(.{13}).....= > \1; <]I > ..(........)= > \1 S Effect If Code 128, AAA1234567890123BBBBB becomes 1234567890123 If Interleaved 2 of 5, AA12345678 becomes 12345678 Grid Filter Example 4 This inverts data such that the first alphabetic string (like a first name) and second alphabetic string (like a last name) are reversed and separated by a comma and a space. S Filter ([[:alpha:]])+ ([[:alpha:]])+= > \2, \1 S Effect When a bar code with the data “Dexter Gordon” is scanned, the data is modified to read “Gordon, Dexter”. ADC Connection A 700 Series Computer can have both Bar Code and RFID reader engines with each engine supporting multiple connections. Each connection allows an application to access data or manage a configuration. An application could have multiple connections. // Get an instance of the ADC COM object that corresponds integrated scanner IBarCodeReaderControl *pIBCControl; // Pointer to the Bar Code Reader object HRESULT hrStatus = ITCDeviceOpen( TEXT(”default”), IID_IBarCodeReaderControl, ITC_DHDEVFLAG_READAHEAD, (LPVOID *) &pIBCControl); // If the ADC object was successfully created and initialized, accept bar code data. ITC_BARCODE_DATA_DETAILS stBCDetails; stBCDetails.wStructSize = sizeof(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 ); 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual 145 Chapter 6 — Scanner Support 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 configure the imager are the same as those used for the laser scanner. This includes the keyboard wedge as well as the ADC COM interfaces and includes functionality such as data editing and data filtering. In addition, the imager has the following configuration features (see “IS9CConfig3 Functions” starting on page 216 for configuration details): S Aimer LED: A small, rectangular-aiming LED is displayed periodically during the image capture and decoding process. The initial duration (after scan buttons 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. S Scaled 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 intensity of the illumination LEDs is scaled to brighten the image just enough for decode. The reduces power consumption and the effect of specular reflection. S Window size and position: The default window size (640x480) can be reduced in size and positioned. 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. 146 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual Chapter 6 — Scanner Support The following table shows which bar code symbologies are supported either by an imager or by a laser scanner. Bar Code Symbology Imager Laser Scanner Code 39 Interleaved 2 of 5 Standard 2 of 5 Matrix 2 of 5 Code 128 Code 93 Codabar MSI Plessey UPC EAN/EAN 128 Code 11 PDF 417 Micro PDF 417 Telepen Data Matrix QR Code Image Acquisition Features The integrated imager provides the following image acquisition features: S Real-time and Still Image Acquisition: This includes functions that start and stop image acquisition and read acquired images. S Signature Capture: This allows the application to retrieve an image of the normalized signature. This means the image is always oriented as if the picture were taken at right angles to the signature, at the same distance, and in the center of the image no matter in what orientation the picture was taken. Signature capture requires a PDF 417 or Code 128 bar code symbology to be present in the image and requires the application to identify the X,Y offsets relative to the center the bar code, the X,Y dimension of image to be captured, and the aspect ratio of the bar code. Note the units are in terms of the narrow element width of the bar code. 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual 147 Chapter 6 — Scanner Support See the following example signature capture label and dimensions. These image acquisition features are provided through the IImage Interface defined on page 221.

All supported symbologies are initialized to their defaults when the S9C firmware is loaded. GET/SET functions use enumerations as their parameters. In most enumerations, there is an enumerator xx_NO_CHANGE (such as ITC_CODE39_NO_CHANGE), where xx refers to a particular enumeration. 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. 172 IS9CConfig::GetCodabar (page 173) IS9CConfig::SetCodabar (page 174) IS9CConfig::GetCode39 (page 176) IS9CConfig::SetCode39 (page 177) IS9CConfig::GetCode93 (page 179) IS9CConfig::SetCode93 (page 179) IS9CConfig::GetCode128 (page 180) IS9CConfig::SetCode128 (page 181) IS9CConfig::GetI2of5 (page 183) IS9CConfig::SetI2of5 (page 184) IS9CConfig::GetMatrix2of5 (page 185) IS9CConfig::SetMatrix2of5 (page 186) IS9CConfig::GetMSI (page 187) IS9CConfig::SetMSI (page 187) IS9CConfig::GetPDF417 (page 188) IS9CConfig::SetPDF417 (page 189) IS9CConfig::GetPlessey (page 192) IS9CConfig::SetPlessey (page 192) IS9CConfig::GetStandard2of5 (page 194) IS9CConfig::SetStandard2of5 (page 195) IS9CConfig::GetTelepen (page 197) IS9CConfig::SetTelepen (page 197) IS9CConfig::GetUpcEan (page 198) IS9CConfig::SetUpcEan (page 200) 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual Chapter 6 — Scanner Support IS9CConfig::GetCodabar This function retrieves the current settings of Codabar symbology.
