Preparing the EP10 for operation requires that a battery pack be charged and installed in the EP10. 12 EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual Preliminary Draft 2.2.1 Chapter 2: Getting to Know the EP10 Battery Safety Battery Safety Important: Before attempting to install, use or charge the battery pack, it is critical that you review and follow the important safety guidelines in the quick reference guide entitled ‘EP10 Hand-Held Regulatory & Warranty Guide’, PN 8000235. 2.2.2 Removing the Battery Pack Important: Always shut down the EP10 before removing the battery. To safely remove the battery, press and hold down the Power button until the ‘Shutdown’ screen is displayed. Choose ‘Shutdown’ and tap on OK. Keep in mind also that all EP10s are equipped with internal super-capacitors that will save the current data for up to 5 minutes while the battery is swapped. Refer to “Preparing the EP10 for Operation” on page 13 for more details about removing and installing the battery. 2.2.3 Battery Swap Time Assuming the default power saving parameters and battery reserve level have not been altered, battery swap time is approximately 5 minutes – you will not lose data if the battery is replaced within this time frame. To protect data, the safest place to store data is on a microSD memory card or externally to the device on a USB memory stick or on a PC. The Suspend Threshold feature allows you to determine the battery capacity at which the EP10 will be shut down. If left at the default value, Maximum Operating Time, the EP10 will run until the battery is completely empty; the RAM is only backed up for a short period of time. If you choose Maximum Backup Time, the EP10 shuts off with more energy left in the battery so RAM can be backed up for a longer period of time. (Refer to “Suspend Threshold and Estimated Battery Backup” on page 142 for details about reserving battery power for data backup purposes.) 2.2.4 Charging the Battery Batteries shipped from the factory are charged to approximately 40% of capacity. They must be fully charged prior to use. EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual 13 Chapter 2: Getting to Know the EP10 Charging the Battery Preliminary Draft Note: Do not leave a spare battery to charge for more than 72 hours. Charging for more than 72 hours may damage the battery or lead to charge capacity reduction. Important: If the battery is overheated (>60° C) or if the battery capacity is very low (<100 mAh), the unit will not switch on when the Power key is pressed. Under the above conditions, when AC power is applied, the EP10 will still refuse to power up; instead, a yellow LED will begin blinking and until the battery is replaced, or in the case of low battery capacity, the battery is charged to an acceptable level, the EP10 will not switch on. Keep in mind also that, along with the battery, the EP10 is equipped with internal, supercapacitors that preserves data stored on the EP10 for a short period of time while the battery is swapped. 2.2.4.1 Chargers and Docking Stations Important: FOR DETAILED INFORMATION about chargers and docking stations, refer to Chapter 6: “Peripheral Devices & Accessories” beginning on page 215. Lithium-Ion battery packs must be charged before use. These batteries can be charged with a variety of chargers and docking stations. These include: • • • • • • 14 AC wall adaptor (Model No. R3055) operates as an AC power source and when plugged in, also charges the battery installed in the EP10. (see page 237) Desktop Docking Station (Model No. RV4000) operates as both a charger and a docking station. Operating as a charger, both the battery installed in the EP10 and a spare battery can be charged simultaneously. (see page 225) Quad Docking Station (Model No. RV4004) can charge the battery of up to four EP10s inserted in the docking station. (see page 230) Quad Battery Charger (Model No. RV3004) can charge up to four batteries inserted in the charger (see TBD) USB & Charger Snap Module (Model No. RV4001) allows you to connect a Mini-B USB cable and a power cable to the EP10. (see TBD) DE9 RS232 & charger Snap Module (Model No. V4002) provides an RS232 connection and charge power to the EP10. (see TBD) EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual Preliminary Draft Chapter 2: Getting to Know the EP10 The Keyboard Note: Refer to “Monitoring the Battery and Maximizing Run Time” on page 23 for additional information about the battery. Important: To avoid damaging the battery, chargers will not begin the charge process until the battery temperature is between 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). 2.3 The Keyboard 2.3.1 EP10 QWERTY Keyboard The EP10 is available with a QWERTY keyboard with [Send] and [End] phone keys. Figure 2.3 QWERTY Keyboard with Phone Keys Most of the keys on these keyboards operate much like a desktop computer. Where a key or key function is not consistent with the PC keyboard, the differences are noted. The [BLUE] modifier key provide access to additional keys and system functions. These functions are colour coded in blue print above the keyboard keys. EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual 15 Chapter 2: Getting to Know the EP10 Locking the Keyboard Preliminary Draft Note: Almost all keys can be reprogrammed to suit your requirements. 2.3.2 Locking the Keyboard You can lock the keyboard to prevent accidental key presses. To set up the locking/unlocking key sequence: Tap on Start>Settings>Buttons. Tap on the right arrow icon in the bottom-right corner of the screen to scroll to the Lock Sequence tab. Refer to “Lock Sequence” on page 106 for details about setting up this function. • 2.3.3 Modifier Keys The [SHIFT], [CTRL], [ALT], and [BLUE] keys are modifier keys. Pressing a modifier key changes the function of the next key pressed. For example, on a QWERTY keyboard, the ‘@’ symbol is printed in blue on the [A] key. Pressing the [BLUE] key, a modifier key, followed by the [A] key displays the ‘@’ symbol rather than the letter A. The [SHIFT], [CTRL] and [ALT] keys operate much like a desktop keyboard except that they are not chorded (two keys held down simultaneously). The modifier key must be pressed first followed by the key whose function you want modified. Note: Keep in mind that the [ALT] and [CTRL] keys are only available on keypads that are not equipped with phone keys. You can, however, access the [CTRL] key using the onscreen, soft keyboard. 2.3.3.1 Activating Modifier Keys & the Shift-State Indicator When a modifier key is pressed, it is represented in the shift-state indicator icon in the softkey bar at the bottom of the screen, making it easier to determine whether or not a modifier key is active. If the shift-state indicator icon is not visible (you can only see the soft keyboard icon), you may need to take a few steps to display the shift-state indicator icon. • • • 16 Tap on Start>Settings followed by the Buttons icon. Tap on the One Shots tab at the bottom of the screen. Tap in the check box next to Show modifier key state to display the shift-state indicator icon. EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual Preliminary Draft Chapter 2: Getting to Know the EP10 The Keys Figure 2.4 Shift-State Indicator Icon Shift-State Indicator Icon replaces Soft Keyboard Icon Soft Keyboard Icon 2.3.3.2 Locking Modifier Keys Note: The locking behaviour of the modifier keys can be changed so that, for example, pressing a modifier key once will lock the key ‘on’. Refer to “One Shots” on page 99 for details. Note too that by default, the [ORANGE] key is locked ‘on’ when pressed only once. When a modifier key is locked ‘on’, it will remain active until it is pressed again to unlock or turn it off. To help you identify when a modifier key is locked ‘on’, the key is represented in the shiftstate indicator icon with a black frame around it. Figure 2.5 Shift-State Indicator Icon – Locked Modifier Key Once a modifier key is unlocked or turned off, it is no longer displayed in the shift-state indicator icon. 2.3.4 The Keys The [SHIFT] Key The [SHIFT] key is used to display uppercase alpha characters and provide access to the symbols above the numeric keys. You can lock this key ‘on’ so that when you press an alpha EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual 17 Chapter 2: Getting to Know the EP10 The Keys Preliminary Draft key, an upper case character is displayed. When you press a numeric key, the associated symbol on the numeric key is displayed on the screen. If you press the [SHIFT] key twice, it is locked ‘on’ essentially acting as a [CAPS] key, displaying uppercase characters. In this state, if you type a numeric key, the number rather than the symbol above it is displayed. Press [SHIFT] again to turn the [CAPS] function off. The Arrow Keys The Arrow keys are located near the top of the keyboard. The arrow keys move the cursor around the screen–up, down, left and right. The cursor is the flashing box or underline character that indicates where the next character you type will appear. The [BKSP/DEL] Key The [BKSP] key (sometimes referred to as destructive backspace) moves the cursor one character to the left, erasing the incorrectly entered key stroke. The [DEL] key ([BLUE] [BKSP]) erases the character at the cursor position. The [ALT] and [CTRL] Keys The [ALT] and [CTRL] keys modify the function of the next key pressed and are application dependent. The [TAB] Key Typically, the [TAB] key moves the cursor to the next field to the right or downward. The [ESC] Key Generally, this key is used as a keyboard shortcut to close the current menu, dialog box or activity and return to the previous one. The [SPACE] Key Pressing this key inserts a blank space between characters. In a Windows dialog box, pressing the [SPACE] key enables or disables a checkbox. The [SCAN] Keys The EP10 is equipped with two [SCAN] keys located on the keyboard just below the display along with [SCAN] buttons situated on the left and right sides of the hand-held. [SCAN] keys activate the scanner beam. For units that do not have internal scanners, these keys can be remapped to serve other functions. 18 EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual Preliminary Draft Chapter 2: Getting to Know the EP10 The Keypad Backlight The Function Keys–[F1] to [F10] Function keys [F1] to [F10] perform special, custom-defined functions. These keys are accessed by pressing [BLUE] followed by numeric keys [1] to [10]. They can be used with the Windows Mobile 6.5 operating system or another application. The Macro Keys While macro keys are not physically stamped on the keyboard, up to 12 macro functions can be added using the Scancode Remapping function. Refer to “Scancode Remapping” on page 103 for details about mapping keys. For details about creating a macro, refer to “Keyboard Macro Keys” on page 101. 2.3.5 The Keypad Backlight The intensity of the keypad backlight can be configured using the Backlight icon accessed by tapping on Start>Settings. Refer to “Backlight” on page 120 for details about this option. 2.4 The Display EP10s are equipped with display backlighting to improve character visibility in low light conditions.

At this point, you can go ahead and release the Power button. 2.6 Audio Indicators The audio speaker provides a variety of sounds when a key is pressed, a keyboard character is rejected, scan input is accepted or rejected, an operator’s entry does not match in a match field or the battery is low. To specify how you want your EP10 to respond under various conditions, refer to “Sounds” on page 117. 2.6.1 Adjusting Speaker Volume The Volume button is located on the left side of the EP10, just above the Scan button. It is a rocker button; pressing the top half of the button increases volume while pressing the bottom half of the button decreases it. 22 EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual Preliminary Draft Chapter 2: Getting to Know the EP10 Monitoring the Battery and Maximizing Run Time 2.7 Monitoring the Battery and Maximizing Run Time Note: When the battery is at 50% capacity, a ‘low battery’ warning is displayed. When the battery is at about 10% capacity, a ‘very low battery’ notification bubble appears. As Lithium-Ion batteries age, their capacity decreases gradually, and they are generally considered depleted after approximately 2 years of use (less than 60% of original capacity remaining). Keep in mind however that heavy usage or operating the EP10 at temperature extremes will shorten the battery life. Lithium-Ion batteries do not require conditioning cycles and the EP10 battery system (including chargers) requires no user interaction to maintain peak performance. To maximize the run time of your batteries, consider the following: • The display backlight is a large drain on the battery. Try to keep its brightness as low as possible. • The EP10 is ‘event’ driven – that is, when it is not in use, the EP10 reverts to sleep mode (even when it appears to be running), saving battery power. Events include a key press, touchscreen taps and scan triggers. Power consumption is reduced if you avoid unnecessary events, and allow the EP10 to sleep as much as possible. • The battery is a ‘smart battery’ with built-in intelligence. Tapping on the Power icon under Start>Settings>System tab displays a dialog box that provides detailed information about the battery status of the battery installed in your EP10. • 2.7.1 When the EP10 is switched off, it goes into a low-power, suspend state but continues to draw a small amount of power from the battery. This should not be an issue unless the EP10 is left in suspend state for more than a week – for long-term storage, the battery should be removed. Storing Batteries Long term battery storage is not recommended. If storage is necessary: • • • • Always try to use a ‘first-in first-out’ approach to minimize storage time. Lithium-Ion batteries age much faster at elevated temperatures. Store batteries at temperatures between 0° C and 20° C. Always charge batteries to at least 40 to 60% before storing them. Batteries can be damaged by an over-discharge phenomenon that occurs when an empty battery is stored for a long period of time such that the cell voltage drops below a lower limit. To minimize storage degradation, recharge stored batteries to 40 to 60% every 4 or 6 months to prevent over-discharge damage. EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual 23 Chapter 2: Getting to Know the EP10 Uploading Data in a Docking Station • 2.8 Preliminary Draft A ‘never used’ Lithium-Ion battery that has been stored for 3 years may have limited or no useful life remaining once put into service. Think of batteries as perishable goods. Uploading Data in a Docking Station Important: Review the documentation provided with the user application installed in your EP10 before performing data uploads. The desktop docking station and quad docking station are typically used to upload transaction data to a server computer when a radio link is not available. Note: Refer to “Chargers and Docking Stations” on page 223 for more details. The desktop docking station can complete batch uploads to a Client USB connected PC or server. An optional 10/100baseT Ethernet module is also available. Unlike the desktop docking station, the quad docking station supports only TCP/IP connections to a PC or server through a 10/100baseT Ethernet connection. When an EP10 is properly inserted in a docking station, a dock icon is displayed in the navigation bar at the top of the screen. The EP10 also detects the presence of the Ethernet network. 2.9 Bluetooth Radio Note: Integrated Bluetooth radios are standard on EP10 units. Keep in mind also that Bluetooth is available simultaneously with WAN and 802.11g on a single EP10. The EP10 is equipped with an on-board Bluetooth radio. This type of radio enables short range data communication between devices. The Bluetooth also provides the capability to use a Bluetooth-enabled cellular phone as a data modem, exchanging information with other Bluetooth devices. Refer to “The Bluetooth GPRS Phone” on page 180 for setup details. 24 EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual Preliminary Draft 2.9.1 Chapter 2: Getting to Know the EP10 Pairing a Bluetooth Headset Pairing a Bluetooth Headset Note: Headset pairing information is also available in the Getting Started Centre in the Today screen on your EP10.

For more details about the camera, refer to “Pictures & Videos” on page 75. 2.12 General Maintenance 2.12.1 Caring for the Touchscreen The top of the touchscreen is a thin, flexible polyester plastic sheet with a conductive coating on the inside. The polyester can be permanently damaged by harsh chemicals and is susceptible to abrasions and scratches. Using sharp objects on the touchscreen can scratch or cut the plastic, or crack the internal conductive coating. The chemicals listed below must not come into contact with the touchscreen: • sodium hydroxide, • concentrated caustic solutions, • benzyl alcohol, and • concentrated acids. If the touchscreen is used in harsh environments, consider applying a disposable screen protector (model number CH6110TBD). These covers reduce the clarity of the display slightly but will dramatically extend the useful life of the touchscreen. When they become scratched and abraded, they are easily removed and replaced. 26 EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual Preliminary Draft Chapter 2: Getting to Know the EP10 Cleaning the EP10 2.12.2 Cleaning the EP10 Important: Do not immerse the EP10 in water. Dampen a soft cloth with mild detergent to wipe the unit clean. • • • Use only mild detergent or soapy water to clean the EP10 unit.

If you prefer it only be accessed from the Programs window, tap on Start>Settings, tap on the Menus icon and uncheck Messaging. The Messaging program is used to send and receive e-mail on your EP10. To send and receive e-mail, you’ll need to synchronize your PC or connect to a Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3) or Internet Message Access Protocol 4 (IMAP4) mail server. For each of these methods, you need to set up an e-mail account with one exception – Outlook e-mail accounts are set up by default. 4.18.1 Folders If you use an Outlook e-mail account, messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook are automatically synchronized with your EP10. You can use ActiveSync on your PC to synchronize additional folders. The folders and messages you move are mirrored on the server. For POP3 accounts, if you move e-mail messages to a folder you create, the link between the messages on the EP10 and the copies on the mail server are broken. When you next connect, the mail server will recognize that the messages are missing from the EP10 Inbox folder and delete them from the server, preventing duplication of messages. Keep in mind however that you will not have further access to messages that you moved to folders from anywhere except with the EP10. For IMAP4 accounts, the folders you create and the messages you move are reflected on the server, making messages available any time whether you connect to your mail server from your EP10 or your PC. 4.18.2 Synchronizing E-mail with Outlook By synchronizing the EP10 Messaging program with Outlook on your PC, your e-mail is available on both the EP10 and on your PC. Note: Synchronizing e-mail does not require that the EP10 have an independent connection to the Internet. 84 EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual Preliminary Draft • Chapter 4: Programs Synchronizing E-mail with Outlook In ActiveSync on your PC, tap on Tools>Options in the tool bar at the top of the screen. • Make certain that a check mark is displayed in the checkbox next to E-mail.

Note: The ‘Program Buttons’ option is not available on the EP10. 5.4.1 Up/Down Control Sliding the Delay before first repeat bar to the left decreases the delay between key repeats while sliding the bar to the right increases the repeat delay time. Sliding the Repeat rate bar to the left slows the rate at which an [Up/Down] button repeats when pressed. Sliding the bar to the right increases the key repeat rate. 98 EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual Preliminary Draft 5.4.2 Chapter 5: Settings Sequence Sequence This slider determines the allowable pause between alpha key presses on a keypad. For example, suppose you want to type the letter ‘c’ – you would need to press the [2] key three times. With the [ORANGE] key locked ‘on’, if you press [2] twice and then pause between key presses for 1 second, the letter ‘b’ will be selected automatically. Moving the Sequence slider to the right increases the pause time between alpha key presses. 5.4.3 One Shots The options in this tab allows you to determine how modifier keys on your EP10 behave. For each modifier key – [ALT], [SHIFT], [CTRL], [ORANGE] and [BLUE] – you have the following options in the drop-down menu: Lock, OneShot, and OneShot/Lock. EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual 99 Chapter 5: Settings One Shots Preliminary Draft Important: Once you’ve assigned a One Shot mode to a modifier key, you need to tap on the OK button at the top of the tab to activate your selection. Lock If you choose Lock from the drop-down menu, pressing a modifier key once locks it ‘on’ until you press the modifier key a second time to unlock or turn it off. OneShot If you choose OneShot, the modifier key remains active only until the next key is pressed. OneShot/Lock OneShot/Lock allows you to combine these functions. If you choose this option and press the modifier key once, it remains active only until the next key is pressed.

Deleting a Macro • • 5.4.5 In the Macros tab, highlight the macro number you want to delete. Tap on the Delete button. Unicode Mapping • Tap on the Unicode Mapping tab to display this screen. The Unicode Mapping tab is used to map combinations of virtual key values and [CTRL] and [SHIFT] states to Unicode™ values. This tab shows the configured Unicode character along with the Unicode value. For example, “a (U+0061)” indicates that the character “a” is represented by the Unicode value “0061”, and so on. Keep in mind that Unicode configurations are represented as hexidecimal rather than decimal values. All user-defined Unicode mappings are listed in the Unicode Mapping tab in order of virtual key value, and then by order of the shift state. If a Unicode mapping is not listed, the Unicode mapping is mapped to the default Unicode value. 102 EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual Preliminary Draft Chapter 5: Settings Scancode Remapping Adding and Changing Unicode Values Important: Changes to Unicode mappings are not saved until you exit the Unicode Mapping tab by tapping on [OK]. • Tap on the Add/Change button. • • Highlight a value in the Unicode mapping list. Position the cursor in the Unicode Mapping field, and type a Unicode value for the highlighted key. Note: To add a shifted state – [SHIFT] and/or [CTRL], tap on the checkbox next to ‘SHIFT Pressed’ and/or ‘CTRL Pressed’. Removing Unicode Values • 5.4.6 In the Unicode Mapping tab, highlight the item you want to delete, and tap the Remove button. Scancode Remapping A scancode is a number that is associated with a physical key on a keyboard. Every key has a unique scancode that is mapped to a virtual key, a function or a macro. Scancode Remapping allows you to change the functionality of any key on the keyboard. A key can be remapped to send a virtual key (e.g. VK_F represents the ‘F’ key; VK_RETURN represents the [ENTER/Power] key, etc.), perform a function (e.g. turn the scanner on, change volume/contrast, etc.) or run a macro. EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual 103 Chapter 5: Settings Scancode Remapping Preliminary Draft There are three different tables of scancode mappings: the Normal table, the Blue table and the Orange table. The Normal table defines unmodified key presses; the Blue table defines key presses that occur when the [BLUE] modifier is on; the Orange table defines key presses that occur when the [ORANGE] modifier is on. The default mappings of these scancodes can be overwritten for each of these three tables using the Scancode Remapping tab. The first column in the Scancode Remapping tab displays the Scancodes in hexidecimal. If the scancode is remapped to a virtual key, that virtual key is displayed in the next column labelled ‘V-Key’. A virtual key that is ‘Shifted’ or ‘Unshifted’ is displayed in the third column labelled ‘Function’. If the scancode is remapped to a function or a macro, the first and second columns remain blank while the third column contains the function name or macro key number (e.g., Macro 2). Adding a Remap To add a new remapping: • 104 Tap the Add button at the bottom of the dialog box. EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual Preliminary Draft Chapter 5: Settings Scancode Remapping The Remap Scancode dialog box is displayed. • Type the scan code in hexidecimal in the field labelled Scancode. Note: The ‘Label’ field displays the default function of the scancode you are remapping. Virtual Key, Function and Macro The radio buttons at the bottom of the dialog box allow you to define to what the scan code will be remapped to: Virtual Key, Function or Macro. When Virtual Key is selected, you can choose to force [SHIFT] to be on or off when the virtual key is sent. If No Force is selected, the shift state is dependent on whether the shift state is on or off at the time the virtual key is sent. When Function is selected, a list of valid functions appears in the dialog box. When Macro is selected, the macro keys available on your unit are listed in the dialog box. • • Choose Virtual Key>Function or Macro. Choose a function from the Function list, and tap on OK. Editing a Scancode Remap • • • In the Scancode Remapping tab, tap on the remap you want to edit. Tap on the Edit button, and make the appropriate changes. Tap on OK to save your changes.

Power Tab This tab allows you to dictate how the GPS module behaves. The GPS Power drop-down menu is used to control when the GPS is powered on and off. • • • • Off – the GPS module is left off, always. Always on – the GPS module is powered on at all times regardless of the power state of the EP10 (suspend or standby). On, and off in suspend – the GPS module is powered on, but if the EP10 is in suspend mode, the GPS module is turned off. On, and low power in suspend – the GPS module remains in a low-power state while the EP10 is in suspend mode. EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual 129 Chapter 5: Settings GPS (Global Positioning System) Settings Preliminary Draft Profiles Tab Tapping on the GPS Profile Selection drop-down menu allows you to choose an appropriate profile: Default, Automotive or Pedestrian. • • • 130 Default profile is a good general profile suitable for most uses. Automotive profile is designed for in-vehicle use, providing quick location updates as the vehicle moves. When the GPS module is set to this profile and the vehicle enters an area such as a tunnel where satellite coverage is interrupted, it will attempt to predict the vehicle position. Pedestrian profile is designed for those using the GPS module while walking. It takes into account the slower pace of the pedestrian when mapping the location of the user. When the GPS module is set to this profile and the operator moves into an area where satellite coverage is interrupted, the GPS module will not attempt to predict the operator’s movement. EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual Preliminary Draft Chapter 5: Settings GPS (Global Positioning System) Settings AGPS (Assisted Global Positioning System) Tab To determine your location, a GPS module receives data from three or more GPS satellites in fixed orbit around the Earth. The GPS module triangulates your location based on the time it takes for signals to get to and from the satellites. This works well in fairly clear areas – outdoors, for example. However, if you’re attempting to triangulate your location in city centres where signals bounce off tall concrete buildings or from within a building, the GPS module will have greater difficulty calculating a fix. AGPS reduces Time To First Fix (TTFF) and increases the likelihood of finding and keeping a fix in poor coverage areas such as indoor sites. AGPS downloads satellite ephemeris (orbital) data to the EP10 periodically through WiFi or WWAN. The downloaded data is used by the GPS module to speed the process of getting a fix. Update Click on the Update button to download Extended Ephemeris (EE) files from a secure host on the internet using any interface that has an internet connection (WWAN or WiFi). These files contain several days worth of ephemeris (orbital) data that can be used if the satellite’s broadcast ephemeris is not available. The Status field above the Update button displays the progress of the download, and once successfully downloaded, the Status field will read Idle. • EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual 131 Chapter 5: Settings GPS (Global Positioning System) Settings Preliminary Draft Settings • Click on the Settings button to define the AGPS server connection settings. The AGPS server connection settings drop-down menu allows you to choose from two settings: Use default settings and Use custom settings. The Use default settings option is generally acceptable for most applications. Note that aside from the Update field in which you can choose how long the fix is stored in your EP10, the field values cannot be edited. The Use custom settings option is generally used to configure devices that will have access only to an intranet rather than the Internet and should only be altered with the assistance of qualified Psion Teklogix personnel. They will be able to help you configure your Psion Teklogix device(s) and web server to retrieve the ephemeris data. 132 EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual Preliminary Draft Chapter 5: Settings Manage Triggers Info Tab This tab provides general information about the GPS module such as the firmware version, the date on which files were last updated, and so on. If GPS module support service is required, you may be asked to tap on the Save button in this tab and forward the information to Psion Teklogix support staff. 5.23 Manage Triggers Manage Triggers allows you to configure how bar code scanners and other devices are triggered. You can configure the trigger ID for each trigger button for both single- and doubleclick, and the double-click time. EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual 133 Chapter 5: Settings Trigger Mappings • Preliminary Draft Tap on Start>Settings>System tab>Manage Triggers icon. 5.23.1 Trigger Mappings A trigger mapping is an association between a particular key on the keyboard and a driver or application, the module(s) – sometimes referred to as “trigger consumer(s)” – of the trigger source. Along with keyboard keys, trigger sources can also be grip triggers, external hardware triggers or software-based. When the specified key is pressed, the trigger consumer (for example, a decoded scanner) is sent a message. Important: It is not possible to have two or more identical mappings — for example [F1] cannot be mapped to the Non-Decoded Scanner twice — even if the trigger type is different. A keyboard key that is used as a trigger source will no longer generate key data or perform its normal function. For example, if the space button is used as a trigger source, it will not be able to send space characters to applications. Double-Click When a key is pressed and released, then pressed again within the configured time (between 0 to 1000 milliseconds), a double-click occurs. See also “Trigger Press Type” on page 136. 134 EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual Preliminary Draft Chapter 5: Settings Trigger Mappings Show All Modules By default, the trigger mapping list only shows active mappings. Mappings for drivers or applications that are not currently active are not normally displayed. By checking this checkbox, all mappings, both active and inactive, are displayed. Add Tapping this button brings up the Add mapping dialog (see below), so that you can add new trigger mappings. Edit Tapping this button brings up the Edit mapping dialog, so that you can edit existing trigger mappings. Remove Tapping this button removes an existing mapping.

EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual 135 Chapter 5: Settings Trigger Mappings Preliminary Draft Note: It is possible to map the same source to different modules (trigger consumers) – for example, to both the Imager and Non-Decoded Scanner. If so, both devices/operations will occur simultaneously. This is not recommended in most cases, especially with devices such as Imagers. It is also possible to map different sources to the same module (trigger consumer). Add Key Only existing trigger sources are shown in the Source combo-box. To add a new source to this list, tap on the Add Key button. A dialog box pops up, allowing you to select the keyboard key to use as a trigger source. Trigger Press Type You can enable either an Up/Down or Double Click response to a trigger press. Normally, when a trigger (keyboard key, etc.) is pressed and released, a “trigger down” event is sent to the “owner” – that is, the application receiving the trigger press information – followed by a “trigger up”. If Double Click is chosen in this menu, when the trigger is pressed, released, and then pressed again, a “double-click” event will occur. If a mapping with the Up/down type has also been configured for the same source, it will only receive the first set of trigger events. Module to Trigger This identifies the driver or application receiving the trigger presses. Show All Modules By default, inactive owners are not shown. By checking this checkbox, all owners, both active and inactive, are displayed. 136 EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual Preliminary Draft 5.24 Chapter 5: Settings Managed Programs Managed Programs Managed Programs lets you view, download and install applications that are deployed by the System Center Mobile Device Manager (a server-side solution that helps enable IT to have control of their device deployment with respect to security, management and access to the corporate network).

Important: Appendix C: “Bar Codes Settings” provides descriptions of the bar codes listed in the scanner menus. EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual 151 Chapter 5: Settings Options Tab Preliminary Draft 5.33.2 Options Tab This tab allows you to tailor the double-click parameters and the display options associated with your scanner. 5.33.2.1 Double Click Parameters Click Time (msec) This parameter controls the maximum gap time (in milliseconds) for a double-click. If the time between the first and second clicks of the scanner trigger is within this time, it is considered a double-click. The allowable range is 0 to 1000. A value of zero disables this feature. A double-click produces different results depending on whether or not a value is assigned in the “Click Data” parameter. When a value is not assigned for the “Click Data”, double-clicking the scanner trigger overrides the target dot delay set in the “Dot Time” parameter and initiates a normal scan sweep. If a value is assigned for the “Click Data” parameter, doubleclicking the scanner trigger inserts the “Click Data” value rather than initiating a scan. Click Data For both integrated and external scanners, this parameter determines which character is sent to the application installed in your EP10 following a double-click. A dialog box appears, asking that you press the key you want to insert. The ASCII/Unicode key value of the keypress is displayed. 152 EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual Preliminary Draft Chapter 5: Settings Options Tab 5.33.2.2 Display Parameters Scan Result When this parameter is enabled, the type of bar code and the result of the scan appear on the screen. Note that this information is only displayed after a successful decode and is visible only while the scanner trigger is pressed. When the trigger is released, this information is cleared from the screen. Scan Indicator When this parameter is enabled, the laser warning logo appears on the display whenever the scanner is activated. Scan Result Time (sec) The value assigned to the “Scan Result Time (sec)” parameter determines how long the scan results of a successful scan are displayed on the screen. Time is measured in seconds, and a value of “0” (zero) disables the parameter. When you choose this option, a dialog box appears where you can enter a value. Note: To remove the scan result from the screen before the “Result Time” has expired, point the scanner away from the bar code and press the trigger. Good Scan Beep And Bad Scan Beep These parameters determine whether or not the EP10 emits an audible scanner ‘beep’ when a good (successful) scan or a bad (unsuccessful) scan is performed. Set these parameters to either on to enable the beeper or off to disable it. Soft Scan Timeout This parameter is used by the SDK “Scan” function (soft-scan: starting a scan session via the SDK function, instead of a physical user trigger press). The value assigned to this parameter determines the soft-scan timeout from 1 to 10 sec. (default is 3 sec.). Scan Log File If this parameter is enabled, the input barcode and the modified/translated output bar code are logged in the file \Flash Disk\ScanLog.txt. Keep in mind that if the “Scan Log File” is enabled, there is a slight performance effect when performing multiple scans since the log file is written to persistent storage. EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual 153 Chapter 5: Settings Translations Tab Preliminary Draft 5.33.2.3 Data Handling This option allows you to choose the code page your EP10 will use to display data – Default Local ASCII or ISO-8859-1 Latin 1. Codepage: Tapping on this option displays a window in which you can define the code page your EP10 will use. If you choose Default Local ASCII, the code page of the local OS is used. For example, if the local OS uses double-byte Chinese characters, choosing this option will filter data through the local ASCII of that OS and display it accurately, in this example, using doublebyte characters. If you choose ISO-8859-1 Latin 1, data will be displayed according to the character mapping of this Latin 1 code page, ignoring the local OS code page. 5.33.3 Translations Tab The Translations tab allows you to define up to 10 cases, each consisting of up to 10 rules in sequential order. Only one case will be applied to a bar code and a case will only be applied if all rules specified in the case are successful – if a rule within a case fails, the entire case fails. 154 EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual Preliminary Draft • Chapter 5: Settings Translations Tab In the Translations tab, tap on a Case # to create rules. EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual 155 Chapter 5: Settings Translations Tab • Preliminary Draft Tap on the No rule drop-down menu to display the rules. When you choose a rule, an associated screen is displayed in which you can define the rule. 5.33.3.1 Case Rules The case rules are defined as follows: • • • • • 156 No rule – ignored. Match at index – matches the match string at a specified index. Match and replace at index – matches the match string at a specified index and replaces/changes it. Replace at index – replaces/changes unspecified data in a given range. Add barcode prefix/suffix – adds a global prefix or suffix. EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual Preliminary Draft • • Chapter 5: Settings Ports Tab Verify barcode size – verifies the bar code size. This rule should generally be assigned first, before creating subsequent rules. Search and replace – replaces all instances of the match string. (Note that this rule cannot fail.) Warning: Keep in mind that the effects of previously applied rules must be taken into account when creating subsequent rules. For example, if the bar code size is important, it should be checked before any rules that might change the size are applied. The information about the status of each case/rule is displayed in the scan log file (see “Scan Log File” on page 153) when enabled. This is useful if a case fails, and you are trying to determine why a rule is failing. 5.33.4 Ports Tab While you cannot configure the scanner, you can configure communications with a serial decoded scanner using the options in this tab. EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual 157 Chapter 5: Settings Ports Tab Preliminary Draft 5.33.4.1 Port Replicator Port A (COM5:) Enabled This parameter allows you to turn this port on (enable) and off. Baud Double-tapping on this parameter displays a pop-up window in which you can choose an appropriate baud rate. Data Bits This parameter determines the number of data bits included in each asynchronous data byte. Most devices use 8 bit data bytes. Double-tapping on this option displays a pop-up window in which you can choose either 7 or 8 data bits. 158 EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual Preliminary Draft Chapter 5: Settings Ports Tab Parity This parameter determines the type of parity checking used on the data going through the tether port. Double-tapping on this option displays a pop-up window in which you can choose the appropriate Parity. Stop Bits This parameter specifies the number of stop bits – 1, 1.5, 2 – used for asynchronous communication. Trigger On Sequence And Trigger Off Sequence If a SICK scanner connected to the EP10 port requires a serial stream of data bytes to trigger the scanner on and another to trigger the scanner off, the Trigger On Sequence and Trigger Off Sequence parameters allow you to define these serial streams. EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual 159 Chapter 5: Settings Total Recall Preliminary Draft Double-tapping on Trigger On Sequence or Trigger Off Sequence displays a screen with a hex array of 10 elements. These parameters work in conjunction with Manage Triggers sending on and off data streams to the trigger module you assigned. For example, supposed you launch Manage Triggers and choose Decoded Scanner as the ‘module to trigger’. Next, you assign a ‘trigger key’ – for this example, a period (‘.’). To define the serial stream of data bytes to control the on and off function of the ‘trigger key’, enter a hex value in the Trigger On Sequence and the Trigger Off Sequence fields. When you press the trigger key, the Trigger On Sequence is sent and when you release the trigger key, the Trigger Off Sequence is sent, turning the trigger key on and off. 5.34 Total Recall Total Recall is a Psion Teklogix utility developed to back up/restore applications and settings. Note: In Windows Embedded 6.5, the registry and installed programs are stored in the Flash file system and are not lost on reset. However, in special cases, Psion Teklogix personnel may find it necessary to perform a ‘clean start’; this will reset not only the registry settings to factory defaults but will also erase any files or applications stored or installed on the built-in Flash file system, including any Total Recall profiles. This is why any data that needs to be protected must be stored on a microSD card or externally to the device on a USB memory stick or on a PC. 160 EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual Preliminary Draft • Chapter 5: Settings Creating a Backup Profile Tap on Start>Settings.

If this option is set to High, the radio will begin searching for a new Access Point while still at a fairly strong signal strength. Setting AP Density to Low will cause the radio to wait until the signal strength is significantly low before attempting to connect to another Access Point. Depending on your site configuration – for example, the shelving, the Access Point coverage, etc. – a higher setting may improve through-put, increase and maintain signal strength, and reduce missed transmissions. Radio Power Management When this option is enabled, access points that support it will use Radio Power Management guidelines to control the EP10 radio. Access points determine how often the EP10 radio EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual 167 Chapter 5: Settings User System Setting Preliminary Draft enters sleep mode when no activity is detected to reduce power consumption.

Wireless WAN An EP10 equipped with a UMTS radio has wide area networking data transfer capabilities. 5.44.1 Softkey Bar Icons Wireless WAN icons in the softkey bar indicate the status of your wide area network connection. Note that these icons are only visible when a GSM/GPRS, CDMA/1xRTT or UMTS radio is installed in the unit, and the interface is enabled. The letter in the signal strength icon (G for GSM/GPRS, U for UMTS and X for CDMA/1xRTT) indicates that a packet data service is available and initialized. Keep in mind that the signal strength icon is displayed without a letter if packet data service is not available or if it is available but not yet initialized. User interaction is required (e.g. the user is required to enter a PIN). A non-recoverable (fatal) error has occurred. GSM/GPRS Status Indicators Signal strength is between 1% and 20%. Signal strength is between 21% and 40%. Signal strength is between 41% and 60%. Signal strength is between 61% and 80%. Signal strength is between 81% and 100%.

The Connect Data button changes, displaying Disconnect. 5.44.3 Disconnecting from a Network To disconnect from the network: • Tap on the Disconnect button, and then on OK. When the EP10 network connection is severed, the Status field displays Ready to Connect. A unit equipped with a GSM/GPRS expansion board displays the signal strength in the main Wireless WAN screen, even while a connection is active. Units equipped with certain other modems (e.g. Sierra Wireless UMTS and CDMA modems, Novatel UMTS modems) do not display the signal strength while a connection is active.The Rx bytes and Tx bytes fields estimate the amount of data transmitted and received, respectively. 5.44.3.1 Shutting Down the Wireless WAN User Interface While it is not usual to shut down the GSM/GPRS user interface, you can accomplish this by tapping on the File menu and choosing the Exit command in the Wireless WAN screen. Note: Once you’ve shut down the user interface, you can only enable the radio by tapping on the Wireless WAN icon to display the dialog box. 5.44.4 Advanced Information In most cases, when a GSM/GPRS radio and SIM are installed in your EP10, setup is automatic. Follow the steps outlined under the heading “Establishing a Connection” on page 198 to make a connection. The information in this section is for advanced setup purposes. 5.44.4.1 Entering a PIN If a PIN is required, a PIN entry dialog box is displayed. • Type your PIN, and press [ENTER/Power]. EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual 199 Chapter 5: Settings Advanced Information Preliminary Draft Note: If you exceed the number of allowable attempts, a PUK entry window is brought to the foreground. You’ll need to enter a new PIN number. Once the correct PIN or PUK is entered or if none was required, the modem is instructed to perform a GSM network registration followed by a GPRS attach. The main Wireless WAN dialog box reflects the progress of the initialization. • Searching for modem • Initializing modem • SIM is ready • Searching for network • Registered on network • Searching for packet data • Ready to connect If the modem loses the connection to the GSM network, the following states are repeated: Searching for network, Registered on network, Searching for packet data and Ready to connect. 5.44.4.2 Error States The following temporary error states–states that may disappear without interaction– may be displayed: • Emergency calls only The modem has found a network but is not allowed to register (e.g. no roaming agreement between networks). The modem keeps searching for another network. • No network found A network is not currently available. The modem continues searching for a network. • Packet data not available The current network does not support packet data. • Packet data not allowed The modem is not allowed to use packet data on the current network (e.g. no packet data roaming agreement between network; a roaming agreement for voice may still be in place). It is also possible that you do not have a subscription for packet data at all. The remaining error states are permanent: • 200 SIM is missing EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual Preliminary Draft Chapter 5: Settings Tools Menu The SIM card is missing. After the SIM has been inserted a reset may be required. • SIM failure The SIM card is permanently disabled (e.g. because the wrong PUK has been entered too many times). A new SIM is needed. • Modem failure The modem did not respond to commands as expected. If a reset does not clear this condition, the modem may need to be replaced. • NDIS error An internal software error has occurred. If a reset does not clear this condition, Psion Teklogix technical support may need to investigate further. 5.44.5 Tools Menu The Tools menu in the main Wireless WAN dialog box offers some additional, advanced setup features. 5.44.5.1 Data Connection Configuration Enable Automatic Connect If the Enable automatic connect checkbox is checked (unchecked by default), the Wireless WAN user interface will attempt to establish a packet data connection whenever packet data is available (e.g. after resume from suspend without further user interaction). To activate the automatic connection mode: • Tap on the OK button. EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual 201 Chapter 5: Settings Tools Menu Preliminary Draft While automatic connection mode is enabled, the Connect Data button in the main Wireless LAN dialog box changes to Disable Auto. To close the currently active connection (if any) and disable the automatic connection mode: • Tap on Disable Auto. Important: Automatic connection mode should not be used if applications other than the Wireless WAN user interface (e.g. Connection Manager) are expected to open and close connections. If the automatic connection mode is enabled and another application closes the packet data connection, the WWAN user interface will immediately try to re-establish the connection. Use Virtual Serial Port If Use virtual serial port is enabled, packet data connections are established through the virtual serial port of the WWAN driver rather than through the WWAN driver directly. This checkbox should only be checked if certain third-party VPN (Virtual Private Network) clients are used that do not work correctly otherwise. The default setting is disabled (unchecked). Note: The connection setup takes longer through the virtual serial port. Enable Automatic Configuration In most cases, the data connection is configured automatically and no user interaction is required. This is true even if multiple SIM cards from different operators are used with the same device. The connection parameters are adjusted automatically when a new SIM card is detected (this may require a reset). The connection parameters are retrieved from a database. Manual configuration should be necessary only if: • • • • 202 One or more parameters in the database are incorrect or a new operator is not yet in the database. (The database should be corrected for subsequent software releases.) An operator has assigned individual packet data user names and passwords. A very large site has their own APN. Such connections always have to be configured manually. A customer has subscribed for a static IP address. By definition this must be configured manually. EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual Preliminary Draft Chapter 5: Settings Tools Menu Important: For CDMA/1xRTT, automatic configuration is not available – connections must be configured manually. Under APN, the packet service access number must be entered (typically “#777”). In the following section, all the parameters that need to be configured for a connection (such as APN, user name, password, DNS server addresses etc.) are referred to as a profile. Every profile is identified by an arbitrary, unique name. The profile named Default is special in that it is always present and can neither be edited nor deleted. (A sample dialog box is presented on the page following.) The Default profile uses parameters from a built-in database. The home network (the network that issued the SIM) is used for the database look-up. While there can be many configured profiles, only one profile can be active at any time. If connection profiles are configured manually then the Enable automatic configuration: checkbox should normally be unchecked. In one particular use case, manually configured profiles may be combined with automatic configuration. If multiple SIM cards are used with the same device, each SIM card being from a different operator and some or all of them requiring a manually set up profile, automatic configuration may be used to automatically pick the correct manually configured profile for each SIM card. For this to work each profile has to be configured while the corresponding SIM card is inserted in the device and initialized (i.e. the status is at least SIM is ready). The Select profile drop-down list in the data configuration profile selects which profile a subsequent action applies to. A profile named Default is always present and contains the current parameters from the database. The following actions are available: • • • • Show – The parameters for the selected profile are displayed when you tap on this button. For the Default profile, the publicly known password is shown – otherwise, the password is hidden. Edit – The parameters of the selected profile can be edited when you choose the Edit button. Keep in mind that you cannot edit the Default profile. Delete – The selected profile is deleted. You cannot delete the Default profile. Activate – When this button is chosen, the selected profile is made the active profile. Activation is possible only if the Enable automatic configuration: checkbox is unchecked. EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual 203 Chapter 5: Settings Tools Menu • Preliminary Draft New – Tapping on the New button allows you to create a new profile. The name of the newly created profile must be different from all existing profiles. Also, the name cannot be Default. When the New Data Profile dialog box is opened, a proposal for a unique name is filled in the corresponding entry field. If a manually configured profile has a secret password and unauthorized access to the device is a concern even after the SIM PIN has been entered, the password should not be entered in the New Data Profile dialog box and the Prompt user for password checkbox should be checked instead. In this case, you will be prompted for the password each time a connection is initiated (the Connect Data button in the main Wireless WAN dialog box is selected). • 204 Reset – The Reset button in the New Profile and Edit Profile dialog boxes resets all entry fields to the values they had when the dialog box was opened. EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual Preliminary Draft • Chapter 5: Settings Tools Menu Advanced IP – The Advanced IP button in the Show Profile and Edit Profile dialog boxes opens another dialog box that allows you to configure a static IP address as well as the IP addresses for the primary and secondary DNS and WINS resolvers. 5.44.5.2 Security Configuration The Security Configuration dialog box is called up through the Tools menu. Note: Security configuration is not available with CDMA modems. The Security Configuration dialog box allows you to enable, disable and change the PIN. You will need the current PIN to make any of these changes. The PIN must be enabled in order to be changed. (If the PIN is disabled, the New PIN entry field is greyed out.) Note: Keep in mind that some network operators do not allow the SIM PIN to be disabled. A new PIN must consist of 4 to 8 numeric digits. The Require PIN on resume checkbox is independent of the aforementioned settings. By default, this checkbox is unchecked. While the checkbox remains unchecked, any PIN entered on startup or through the Security Configuration dialog box and submitted successfully to the modem is stored in memory for as long as the device is not rebooted. This stored PIN is then used without further user interaction whenever the modem requires a PIN (such as resume after suspend or modem removal). The stored PIN is also automatically entered in the Current PIN text box whenever the Security Configuration dialog box is called up. EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual 205 Chapter 5: Settings Tools Menu Preliminary Draft If unauthorized access to the device is a concern, the Require PIN on resume checkbox should be checked. In this case, you will be prompted whenever a PIN is required and the PIN is not stored. 5.44.5.3 Network Configuration Note: Network configuration is not available with CDMA modems. In the main Wireless WAN screen: • Tap on the Tools menu, and choose Network. By default the GSM radio modem automatically chooses from the available and allowed networks (allowed networks are the home network and all other networks with which the home network has a roaming agreement). You may find there are some situations in which you want to override this default behaviour. For example, you may want to disable roaming if you find yourself in a border area where the home network is not available but a foreign roaming partner is available. Abroad, you may find that an available network does not have packet data roaming agreements. In this case, you’ll need to manually select the network which you know to support packet data roaming. Automatic network selection is enabled or disabled by checking or unchecking Enable automatic network select in the Network dialog box. When automatic network selection is disabled, you must select a network manually. Available networks can also be viewed without changing any settings. Scanning for available networks is a lengthy operation – a progress bar is shown while the scan is active. For every network that is found, the network name, country, status and numeric network identifier (MCC/MNC, Mobile Country Code followed by the Mobile Network Code) is displayed. Note: Your home network operator will need to let you know which other networks have roaming agreements. Even when a network is listed with an ‘Available’ status, it does not necessarily follow that it can be used or that the roaming agreement covers packet data. A status of ‘Forbidden’ indicates that the network cannot be used. If you choose a network that is not covered by a roaming agreement, the status in the main WWAN dialog box changes to ‘Emergency calls only’, ‘No network found’, ‘GPRS not available’ or ‘GPRS not allowed’. 206 EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual Preliminary Draft Chapter 5: Settings Tools Menu 5.44.5.4 Driver Mode Configuration By default, the Wireless WAN driver is enabled (the Enable driver checkbox is checked). The driver must be disabled in order to access the modem directly (e.g. dial-up data, fax, or in order to manually submit AT commands to the modem for development, testing, approvals, etc.). In most cases, the Virtual WWAN serial port can be used and it is not necessary to disable the WWAN driver. If the Enable driver checkbox is not checked, the driver is shut down as soon as the OK button in the Driver Mode dialog box tapped. If, on the other hand, the Wireless WAN driver is not running and the Enable driver checkbox is checked, the Wireless WAN driver is started as soon the Driver Mode dialog box is closed using the OK button. Note: When the driver is not running, no network status or signal strength can be displayed. Since all currently supported modems are automatically detected, the Enable automatic port detection checkbox should always be checked. If this checkbox is not checked, a serial port can be selected manually. This experimental feature allows the driver to be used with an internal GSM modem that was not recognized by the automatic detection or an external GSM modem connected to a serial port of the computer through USB or through Bluetooth. An external modem connected to a serial port must support 115.2kbit/s, 8bit, no parity and hardware flow control. 5.44.5.5 Modem Information The fields in this dialog box cannot be edited – they only display information about the EP10 modem. If the network operator has not programmed a user’s phone number into the EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual 207 Chapter 5: Settings Tools Menu Preliminary Draft SIM, the Phone field remains empty. The modem serial number is called IMEI for GSM modems and ESN for CDMA modems. The SIM ID is sometimes referred to as the ICC ID (International Charge Card Identifier). Not all modems support the retrieval of the SIM ID. In particular, the Novatel Merlin UMTS modems and the Option Globetrotter modems do not support SIM ID retrieval. If the main menu shows an error status, at least partial modem information may be available. Modem Power Modes The power mode of the modem is controlled through the Power icon rather than through the Wireless WAN user interface. To adjust PC Card and CF card modems settings: • Tap on Start>Settings, and then tap on the System tab followed by the Power icon. • Tap on the Built-in Devices tab. If the checkbox for a modem is unchecked, power is not applied to the modem and a driver is not loaded (neither the serial port driver nor the Wireless WAN driver). If the checkbox is checked, power is applied to the modem and the drivers are loaded when the EP10 is turned on. Power is removed from the modem when the EP10 enters suspend mode. To enable a modem module that is built into the unit: • Tap on Start>Settings, and then tap on the System tab followed by the Power icon. For a modem module that is built into the EP10, the settings can be found under the Built-in Devices tab. In this case, one of the following power modes can be selected: • Disabled – No power is applied to the modem and no driver is loaded. • Enabled – Off in Suspend Power is applied to the modem and the drivers are loaded when the EP10 is turned on. Power is removed from the modem when the terminal enters suspend mode. • Enabled – Always On When the EP10 enters suspend mode, the modem remains powered indefinitely. • • • • • 208 Enabled – Keep on for 5 min Enabled – Keep on for 15 min Enabled – Keep on for 30 min Enabled – Keep on for 1 hour Enabled – Keep on for 2 hours EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual Preliminary Draft Chapter 5: Settings SMS Menu When the EP10 enters suspend mode, the modem remains powered. If the EP10 is not turned on again during the configured time, the unit briefly wakes up from suspend mode, shuts down the modem, and enters suspend mode again. The default mode is Enabled Keep on for 1 hour. At the cost of a slightly increased power consumption in suspend mode, the modes where the modem remains powered during suspend mode have several advantages. When the EP10 wakes from suspend mode, the modem is ready immediately; modem or network initialization is not required. A packet data session can thus remain active during suspend mode. In these modes, the modem is also able to wake up the EP10 if the network status changes, or there is a new incoming SMS. 5.44.6 SMS Menu SMS functions are accessed through the SMS menu. For modems that support a SIM card, the SIM initialization typically takes longer than the network initialization, resulting in a noticeable delay before the SMS functions become available. EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual 209 Chapter 5: Settings SMS Menu Preliminary Draft 5.44.6.1 New SMS Tapping on New opens a dialog box for sending a new SMS message. The recipient's phone number (to be entered in the To field) can consist of the digits 0 through 9, as well as the * and # characters, optionally preceded by one + character, indicating an international number (i.e. the country code follows immediately after the + character). By checking the Store message in Outbox field, a new message can be stored in the Outbox before being sent. If no storage space is available or the modem does not support the storage of outgoing messages, this checkbox is disabled. 5.44.6.2 Inbox Tapping on Inbox opens the list of received messages. Reading 50 messages, for example, from the SIM can take about 30 seconds. By default the list of messages is sorted with the 210 EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual Preliminary Draft Chapter 5: Settings SMS Menu most recently received message first. The list can be sorted by any other column by clicking on the corresponding column heading. Clicking the same column heading twice reverses the sort order. Pressing any letter or digit moves the highlight to the next message whose address begins with that letter or number. Note: The date and time formats can be changed through the Regional Settings in the Control Panel. For a new date or time format to take effect, the Inbox has to be closed and re-opened. The Open button opens the selected message in a new window such that the entire message can be read including the original formatting (line breaks are replaced by spaces in the Inbox message list). Pressing the Reply button opens the new message dialog as described above, except the destination phone number is already filled in. Pressing the Delete button erases the message. 5.44.6.3 Outbox Tapping on Outbox opens a list of sent messages. Otherwise the Outbox behaves exactly as the Inbox described above. The date and time when a message was sent is not available for GSM modems. EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual 211 Chapter 5: Settings SMS Menu Preliminary Draft 5.44.6.4 SMS Configuration Tapping on SMS Configuration opens the SMS configuration dialog. The SMS Centre Address follows the same rules as the recipient's phone number in the New message dialog. The Message Validity Period parameter is sent to the SMS Centre with each message sent subsequently and instructs the SMS Centre on how long it should attempt to deliver the message to the recipient (the SMS Centre may impose an upper limit on the validity period regardless of the setting). Note: Only certain discrete validity period values can be sent and thus, the validity period is rounded to the nearest allowed value. The next time the SMS configuration dialog is opened, the rounded value is shown. The user interface tries to keep the SMS storage location available for a new incoming message if the Delete oldest message when full checkbox is checked. In this case, when a new message arrives and the SMS storage becomes full, the oldest received message is deleted. If any string is entered as the Message Suppression Prefix, messages beginning with that string will not be shown in either the Inbox or Outbox. In this way, messages intended for another application running on the same device can be hidden. 212 EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual Preliminary Draft 5.45 Chapter 5: Settings Windows Update Windows Update This program checks for software updates, and if found, downloads updates to your EP10.

Use plastic straps and tie-downs to secure cables and connectors in their desired location, away from areas where they may get snagged or pulled. Keep cables away from heat sources, grease, battery acid and other potential hazards. Keep cables away from control pedals and other moving parts that may damage the cables or interfere with the operation of the vehicle. 6.12.3 Electrical Requirements The Powered Vehicle Cradle is designed to allow the EP10 to be powered by a vehicle battery. The battery installed in the EP10 is also recharged by the vehicle battery system. EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual 245 Preliminary Draft Chapter 6: Peripheral Devices & Accessories Electrical Requirements Warning: Applying a voltage above 36VDC or reversing polarity may result in permanent damage to the vehicle cradle power section and will void the product warranty. For safety reasons, disconnect the vehicle cradle power cable when the vehicle battery is being charged by an source other than the vehicle alternator. 6.12.3.1 Wiring Vehicle Power to the Cradle The Powered Vehicle Cradle uses the vehicle power outlet or the vehicle fuse box to power from the vehicle battery system. The Vehicle Outlet Power Adaptor (Model No. RV3050) is used for the vehicle power outlet; the Power Extension cable (PN 1081146) is used for the vehicle fuse box. Figure 6.14 Vehicle Outlet Power Adaptor and Power Extension Cable Warning: A properly trained technician must perform the power connection using Power Extension cable (PN 1081146) and the RV1005. Improper connection can damage the vehicle or the cradle. This cable can be used to provide power to RV1005 from a fused circuit. The vehicle cradle should be added to a fused circuit with a new maximum load capacity of the original load plus the cradle load, which is 4A. Power cables are equipped with fuses and instructions are supplied with each cable. Use only a 4A slow blow Safety-approved fuse in the fuse assembly. These cables should only supply operating power from the vehicle to the Powered Vehicle Cradle from 12VDC or 24VDC systems. 246 EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual Preliminary Draft Chapter 6: Peripheral Devices & Accessories USB and Serial Connections • • The Powered Vehicle Cradle draws no more than 1.9 A @ 12 VDC or 0.95 A @ 24 VDC. Any additional wiring, connectors or disconnects used should be rated for at least 4A. The Powered Vehicle Cradle and peripherals can be used with both negative ground systems when using the Power Extension cable. Peripheral wiring should be closely examined to avoid ground loops in positive ground systems. There is the option of connecting power to the cradle before or after the ‘key’ switch. - It is preferable to wire after the key switch. In this configuration, when the key is turned ON, the vehicle will power the cradle and docked EP10, charging the internal battery when needed. When the vehicle ignition is OFF, the EP10 docked in the cradle will run on its internal battery. - However, if the operator switches the key off repeatedly for long periods during a shift, it may make more sense to wire the vehicle cradle before the switch. In this case, the EP10 will always operate from vehicle power and that power will charge the battery when needed. - Keep in mind that the EP10 will continue to operate with or without vehicle power as long as the internal battery has sufficient charge. 6.12.4 USB and Serial Connections Important: Depending on the configuration, the RV1005 Powered Vehicle Cradle has up to three data connectors and one power connector. The Powered Vehicle Cradle full configuration consists of two serial DE-9M ports and one USB Type A port located at the base of the product. These are COM and USB ports that allow the communication of serial and USB devices with the EP10. These ports are: • • • One powered USB A (Host). One full Serial port. One Serial port that provides power over pin 9. This port is located nearest the front LED and is marked as COM 6 in Figure 6.15.

There is no need to remove hand straps or tethered devices from the unit. • • Slide the EP10 into the cradle, and press firmly downward to the point where resistance is met. Press the EP10 down through the resistance until it bottoms in the cradle – the locks on the latches will engage. This can be one smooth motion if you wish. Electrical contact will not be made until the EP10 is fully inserted. On a vehicle, it’s a good idea to pull up on the EP10 to be certain that it is secure. To remove the unit, push the latches upwards – the EP10 will be released so that it can be removed. 6.12.6 Maintaining the Vehicle Cradle • • • • 248 Do not immerse the unit in water. Dampen a soft cloth with mild detergent to wipe the unit clean. Use only mild detergent or soapy water on a slightly damp cloth to clean the vehicle cradle. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or strong chemicals for cleaning. The vehicle cradle has a plastic case and stamped logo that is susceptible to harsh chemicals. The plastic and stamping is partially soluble in oils, mineral spirits and gasoline. They slowly decompose in strong alkaline solutions. EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual Preliminary Draft Chapter 6: Peripheral Devices & Accessories EA11 Imager • • 6.13 To clean ink marks from the label, use isopropyl alcohol. The two-lock assembly in the Powered Vehicle Cradle holds the EP10 firmly in place. Although this mechanism is designed for at least 20,000 cycles, it will wear over time and will no longer lock the EP10 securely in the cradle. For replacement parts and instructions contact Psion Teklogix. Partial disassembly is required. EA11 Imager The EP10 hand-held supports the EA11 Decoded 2D imager. This imager can be configured using the Scanner Settings located under Settings>System>Teklogix Scanners (see “Scanner Settings” on page 150) and the Manage Triggers application (see “Manage Triggers” on page 133). It is critical that you review the safety information in the “EP10 Hand-Held Regulatory & Warranty Guide”, PN 8000235 before proceeding. 6.13.1 Operating Two Dimensional (2D) Imagers An imager takes a snap shot of a single bar code or multiple bar codes (at one time). It can find a bar code regardless of its orientation – that is, even a bar code printed at a 45 degree angle to the EP10 will be decoded successfully. Note: When scanning multiple bar codes, ensure that all of the desired bar codes are within the field of view of the scanner. It is possible that even when all bar codes are within the field of view, not all of them will be decoded. Only successfully decoded bar codes are passed to the application program. The application program then issues a warning, asking that you scan the missing bar codes. When scanning a single bar code, ensure that only the desired bar code is within the field of view of the scanner. Because imagers generally have a shorter depth of field than laser scanners, some practise may be required to find the optimal distance from the types of bar codes being scanned. Although the imager includes illumination LEDs, ambient light will help the imager decode the bar codes, especially if the bar code is far from the EP10. EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual 249 Preliminary Draft Chapter 6: Peripheral Devices & Accessories Bluetooth Peripherals Important: Keep in mind that the imager scanner is a camera, and the LED illumination is a flash. Glare can be an issue on reflective media such as plastic coated bar codes, just as glare is an issue for photographers. When pointing at a shiny surface, either shift the bar code to the side or top, or angle the bar code so that the glare reflects away from the imager scanner. Most imagers take several ‘snap shots’ of the bar code in order to decode it. It is normal for the LEDs to flash two or three times. Hold the unit steady between flashes to improve decode performance. • • Switch the EP10 on. Wait until the unit has booted up completely. Aim at the bar code and press the scan key or the trigger. Hold the trigger until a successful or failed scan result is obtained. • When the scan button or trigger is pressed, a red, oval shaped light (the framing marker) is displayed. Centre the framing marker in the field—either in the centre of the bar code you want to scan or in the centre of the area in which multiple bar codes are to be scanned. The illumination LEDs will flash (typically several times) and a picture of the bar code(s) is taken. 6.14 Bluetooth Peripherals The EP10 is equipped with a Bluetooth radio, making it possible to communicate with a variety of Bluetooth peripherals, including GSM/GPRS handsets, scanners, printers and so on. Psion Teklogix provides built-in support for the Bluetooth peripherals listed below. • GSM/GPRS universal handset • Bluetooth printer • Bluetooth headset Keep in mind that Bluetooth and IEEE 802.11b/g radios both operate in the 2.4GHz band. Although the EP10 includes features to minimize interference, performance of the system will not be optimal if you use both radios simultaneously. Typically, when both radios operate in the EP10 at the same time, they cannot transmit simultaneously – this has a negative impact on overall system throughput. To minimize the impact on the backbone 802.11g network, Psion Teklogix recommends using Bluetooth peripherals that have low transaction rates (such as printers and scanners). 250 EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual Preliminary Draft Chapter 6: Peripheral Devices & Accessories Digital Camera Refer to “Bluetooth Setup” on page 172 for information about setting up your Bluetooth devices for communication. In addition, review the manual shipped with your Bluetooth device to determine the method used to pair with the EP10 host. 6.15 Digital Camera The EP10 can be equipped with an optional digital camera that can take still pictures or short video clips. Refer to “Pictures & Videos” on page 75 for details about using the camera. The Pictures & Videos applet allows the operator to activate the camera for still shots or video clips. It also provides a number of tools to crop photos, adjust picture contrast and brightness, zoom in and out of photos, and save your adjustments.

With this radio and a SIM card, you can wirelessly transfer data, and you use the EP10 voice option to place phone calls. A.1.1 Taskbar Icons Wireless WAN icons in the taskbar indicate the status of your wide area network connection. Note that these icons are only visible when a GSM/GPRS radio is installed in the computer, and the interface is enabled. Once the modem detects that a packet data service is available, a letter is added to the signal strength icon indicating the kind of packet data service. Keep in mind that the signal strength icon is displayed without a letter if packet data service is not available, or if it is available but not yet initialized. • • • • • • • G - GSM/GPRS E - GSM/EDGE U - UMTS H - UMTS/HSDPA X - CDMA/1xRTT i - iDEN W - WiDEN User interaction is required (e.g. the user is required to enter a PIN). A non-recoverable (fatal) error has occurred. The modem status is unknown or the modem is not connected to any network (the signal strength is 0%). The modem has found a network, and the signal strength is between 1% and 20%. EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual A-1 Preliminary Draft Appendix A: Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN) Establishing a Connection The modem has found a network, and the signal strength is between 21% and 40%. The modem has found a network, and the signal strength is between 41% and 60%. The modem has found a network, and the signal strength is between 61% and 80%. The modem has found a network, and the signal strength is between 81% and 100%. A GPRS packet data connection is active, the signal strength is between 41% and 60% and GSM/GPRS packet service is available. The signal strength icon is replaced by a connection indicator icon when a packet data connection is started. A GPRS packet data connection is active. In addition to the signal strength or connection indicator a second icon may be shown. A new SMS (Short Message Service) message has arrived. The dialer icon is displayed when the Voice option is available (SIM card and GPRS radio are installed). When you have an active call, this icon flashes yellow and then green. A.1.2 Establishing a Connection To display the main Wireless WAN dialog box: • Double-tap on the Wireless WAN icon in the taskbar. If the icon is not visible in the taskbar, the radio interface has been shut down or the modem has been removed: • In the Control Panel, choose the Wireless WAN icon. The main Wireless WAN dialog box is displayed. A-2 EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual Preliminary Draft Appendix A: Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN) Establishing a Connection Figure A.1 Establishing a Connection Note: If you are prompted to enter a PIN, refer to“Entering a PIN Number” on page A-4 for details. When “Ready to connect” is displayed in the Status field, the Connect Data button is enabled. • Tap on the Connect Data button. The progress of the connection is tracked in the Status field. • • • • PPP link to modem active. Authenticating user. User authenticated. Connected. Note: Keep in mind that these states may be displayed fairly quickly if the progress of the connection is rapid. When the connection state reaches PPP link to modem active, the taskbar icon changes to indicate an active connection. The Connect Data button changes to Disconnect. A.1.2.1 Disconnecting From a Network To disconnect from the network: • Tap the stylus on the Disconnect button, and then on OK. EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual A-3 Preliminary Draft Appendix A: Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN) Advanced Information When the computer’s network connection is severed, the Status field displays “Ready to connect”. The signal strength is displayed in the main Wireless WAN screen, even while a connection is active. The Rx bytes and Tx bytes fields estimate the amount of data transmitted and received, respectively. A.1.2.2 Shutting Down the Wireless WAN User Interface While it is not usual to shut down the GSM/GPRS user interface, you can accomplish this by tapping on the File menu and choosing the Exit command at the bottom of the main Wireless WAN dialog box. Note: Once you’ve shut down the user interface, you can only enable the radio by opening the Control Panel and tapping on the Wireless WAN icon to display the Wireless WAN dialog box. A.1.3 Advanced Information In most cases, when a GSM/GPRS radio and SIM are installed in your computer, setup is automatic. Follow the steps outlined under the heading “Establishing a Connection” on page A-2 to make a connection. The information in this section is for advanced setup purposes. A.1.3.1 Entering a PIN Number If a PIN is required, a PIN entry dialog box is displayed. • Type your PIN, and press [ENTER]. Note: If you exceed the number of allowable attempts, a PUK entry window is brought to the foreground. You’ll need to enter a new PIN number. Once the correct PIN or PUK is entered or if none was required, the modem is instructed to perform a GSM network registration followed by a GPRS attach. The main Wireless WAN dialog box reflects the progress of the initialization. • • • • • • A-4 Searching for modem. Initializing modem. SIM is ready. Searching for network. Registered on network. Searching for GPRS. EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual Preliminary Draft Appendix A: Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN) Advanced Information • Ready to connect. If the modem loses the connection to the GSM network, the following states are repeated: Searching for network, Registered on network, Searching for packet data, and Ready to connect. A.1.3.2 Error States The following temporary error states (i.e., these states may disappear without interaction) may be displayed: • Emergency calls only. The modem has found a network but is not allowed to register (e.g. no roaming agreement between networks). The modem keeps searching for another network. • No network found. A network is not currently available. The modem continues searching for a network. • Packet data not available. The current network does not support a packet data service. • Packet data not allowed. The modem is not allowed to use the packet data service on the current network (e.g. no GPRS roaming agreement between network; a roaming agreement for voice may still be in place). It is also possible that you do not have a subscription for GPRS at all. The remaining error states are permanent: • SIM is missing. The SIM card is missing. After the SIM has been inserted a warm boot may be required. • SIM failure. The SIM card is permanently disabled (e.g. because the wrong PUK has been entered too many times). A new SIM is needed. • Modem failure. The modem did not respond to commands as expected. If a warm boot does not clear this condition, the modem may need to be replaced. • NDIS error. An internal software error has occurred. If a warm boot does not clear this condition, Psion Teklogix technical support may need to investigate further. EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual A-5 Preliminary Draft Appendix A: Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN) Tools Menu A.1.4 Tools Menu The Tools menu in the main Wireless WAN dialog box offers some additional, advanced setup features. A.1.4.1 Data Configuration Enable Automatic Connect If the Enable automatic connect checkbox is checked (unchecked by default), the Wireless WAN user interface will attempt to establish a GPRS connection whenever GPRS is available (e.g. after resume from suspend without further user interaction). A-6 EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual Preliminary Draft Appendix A: Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN) Tools Menu To activate the automatic connection mode: • Tap on the OK button. While automatic connection mode is enabled, the Connect Data button in the main Wireless LAN dialog box changes to Disable Auto. To close the currently active connection (if any) and disable the automatic connection mode: • Tap on Disable Auto. Important: Automatic connection mode should not be used if applications other than the Wireless WAN user interface (e.g. Connection Manager) are expected to open and close connections. If the automatic connection mode is enabled and another application closes the GPRS connection, the WWAN user interface will immediately try to reestablish the connection. Use Virtual Serial Port If Use virtual serial port is enabled, packet data connections are established through the virtual serial port of the WWAN driver rather than through the WWAN driver directly. This checkbox should only be checked if certain third-party VPN (Virtual Private Network) clients are used that do not work correctly otherwise. The default setting is disabled (unchecked). Note: The connection setup takes longer through the virtual serial port. Enable Automatic Configuration In most cases, the data connection is configured automatically and no user interaction is required. This is true even if multiple SIM cards from different operators are used with the same device. The connection parameters are adjusted automatically when a new SIM card is detected (this may require a warm boot). The connection parameters are retrieved from a database. Manual configuration should be necessary only if: • • • One or more parameters in the database are incorrect or a new operator is not yet in the database. (The database should be corrected for subsequent software releases.) An operator has assigned individual GPRS user names and passwords. A very large site has their own APN. Such connections always have to be configured manually. EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual A-7 Preliminary Draft Appendix A: Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN) Tools Menu • A customer has subscribed for a static IP address. By definition this must be configured manually. Profiles In the following section, all the parameters that need to be configured for a connection (such as APN, user name, password, DNS server addresses etc.) are referred to as a ‘profile’. Every profile is identified by an arbitrary, unique name. The profile named Default is special in that it is always present and can neither be edited nor deleted. The Default profile uses parameters from a built-in database. The home network (the network that issued the SIM) is used for the database look-up. While there can be many configured profiles, only one profile can be active at any time. If connection profiles are configured manually, the Enable automatic configuration checkbox should normally be unchecked. In one particular use case, manually configured profiles may be combined with automatic configuration. If multiple SIM cards are used with the same device, each SIM card being from a different operator and some or all of them requiring a manually set up profile, automatic configuration may be used to automatically pick the correct manually configured profile for each SIM card. For this to work, each profile must be configured while the corresponding SIM card is inserted in the device and initialized (i.e. the status is at least SIM is ready). The Select profile: drop-down list in the data configuration profile selects to which profile a subsequent action applies. A profile named Default is always present and contains the current parameters from the database. The following actions are available: Show The parameters for the selected profile are displayed when you tap the stylus on this button. For the Default profile, the publicly known password is shown – otherwise, the password is hidden. Edit The parameters of the selected profile can be edited when you choose the Edit button. Keep in mind that you cannot edit the Default profile. Delete The selected profile is deleted. You cannot delete the Default profile. Activate When this button is chosen, the selected profile becomes the active profile. Activation is possible only if the Enable automatic configuration: checkbox is unchecked. A-8 EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual Preliminary Draft Appendix A: Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN) Tools Menu New Tapping on the New button allows you to create a new profile. Figure A.2 Creating a New Profile The name of the newly created profile must be different from all existing profiles. Also, the name cannot be Default. When the New Data Profile dialog box is opened, a proposal for a unique name is filled in the corresponding entry field. If a manually configured profile has a secret password and unauthorized access to the device is a concern even after the SIM PIN has been entered, the password should not be entered in the New Data Profile dialog box and the Prompt user for password checkbox should be checked instead. In this case, you will be prompted for the password each time a connection is initiated (the Connect Data button in the main Wireless WAN dialog box is selected). If Force PAP authentication (Password Authentication Protocol) is enabled, a simple authentication protocol is used to authenticate a user to a remote access server or Internet Service Provider. Reset The Reset button in the New Profile and Edit Profile dialog boxes resets all entry fields to the values they had when the dialog box was opened. EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual A-9 Preliminary Draft Appendix A: Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN) Tools Menu Advanced IP Figure A.3 Assigning IP Information The Advanced IP button in the Show Profile and Edit Profile dialog boxes opens another dialog box that allows you to configure a static IP address as well providing DNS and WINS fields so that you can specify DNS and WINS resolvers. A.1.4.2 Security Configuration The Security Configuration dialog box is accessed through the Tools menu. The Security Configuration dialog box allows you to enable, disable and change the PIN. You will need the current PIN to make any of these changes. The PIN must be enabled in order to be changed. (If the PIN is disabled, the New PIN entry field is greyed out.) Note: Keep in mind that some network operators do not allow the SIM PIN to be disabled. A new PIN must consist of 4 to 8 numeric digits. The Require PIN on resume checkbox is independent of the aforementioned settings. By default, this checkbox is unchecked. While this option remains unchecked, any PIN entered on startup or through the Security Configuration dialog box and submitted successfully to the modem is stored in memory for as long as the device is not rebooted. This stored PIN is then A-10 EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual Preliminary Draft Appendix A: Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN) Tools Menu used without further user interaction whenever the modem requires a PIN (such as resume after suspend or modem removal). The stored PIN is also automatically entered in the Current PIN text box whenever the Security Configuration dialog box is called up. If unauthorized access to the device is a concern, the Require PIN on resume checkbox should be checked. In this case, the PIN is not stored; whenever a PIN is required, you will be prompted to enter an appropriate value. A.1.4.3 Network Configuration In the main Wireless WAN window: • Tap on the Tools menu, and choose Network. By default the GSM radio modem automatically chooses from the available and allowed networks (allowed networks are the home network and all other networks with which the home network has a roaming agreement). You may find there are some situations in which you want to override this default behaviour. For example, you may want to disable roaming if you find yourself in a border area where the home network is not available but a foreign roaming partner is available. Abroad, you may find that an available network does not have GPRS roaming agreements. In this case, you’ll need to manually select the network which you know to support GPRS roaming. Automatic network selection is enabled or disabled by checking or unchecking Enable automatic network select in the Network dialog box. When automatic network selection is disabled, you must select a network manually. Available networks can also be viewed without changing any settings. Scanning for available networks is a lengthy operation – a progress bar is shown while the scan is active. For every network that is found, the network name, country, status and numeric network identifier (MCC/MNC, Mobile Country Code followed by the Mobile Network Code) is displayed. EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual A-11 Preliminary Draft Appendix A: Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN) Tools Menu Note: Your home network operator will need to let you know which other networks have roaming agreements. Even when a network is listed with an ‘Available’ status, it does not necessarily follow that it can be used or that the roaming agreement covers GPRS. A status of ‘Forbidden’ indicates that the network cannot be used. If you choose a network that is not covered by a roaming agreement, the status in the main WWAN dialog box changes to ‘Emergency calls only’, ‘No network found’, ‘GPRS not available’ or ‘GPRS not allowed’. A.1.4.4 Driver Mode Configuration By default, the Wireless WAN driver is enabled (the Enable driver checkbox is checked). The driver must be disabled in order to use the modem for anything other than GPRS (e.g. dial-up data, fax, or in order to manually submit AT commands to the modem for development, testing, approvals, etc.). If the Enable driver checkbox is not checked, the driver is shut down as soon as the OK button in the Driver Mode dialog box is chosen. If, on the other hand, the Wireless WAN driver is not running and the Enable driver checkbox is checked, the Wireless WAN driver is started as soon the Driver Mode dialog box is closed using the OK button. Note: When the driver is not running, no network status or signal strength can be displayed. Since all currently supported GSM modems are automatically detected, the Enable automatic port detection checkbox should always be checked. If this checkbox is not checked, a serial port can be selected manually. This experimental feature allows the driver to be used with an internal GSM modem that was not recognized by the automatic detection or an external GSM modem connected to a serial port of the computer through USB or through A-12 EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual Preliminary Draft Appendix A: Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN) Tools Menu Bluetooth. An external modem connected to a serial port must support 115.2kbit/s, 8bit, no parity and hardware flow control. A.1.4.5 Modem Information The fields in this dialog box cannot be edited, they only display information about the computer’s modem. If the network operator has not programmed a user’s phone number into his SIM, the Phone: field remains empty. If the main menu shows an error status, at least partial modem information may be available. A.1.4.6 User Interface EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual A-13 Preliminary Draft Appendix A: Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN) Tools Menu Taskbar Choosing Taskbar displays a dialog box in which you can determine which Wireless WAN icons will be displayed in the taskbar. Sounds Tapping on the Sounds option displays a dialog box in which you can customize which sounds your EP10 will emit and when these sounds will be played. A-14 EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual Preliminary Draft Appendix A: Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN) SMS Menu A.1.5 SMS Menu SMS (Short Message Service) functions are accessed through the SMS menu. For modems that support a SIM card, the SIM initialization typically takes longer than the network initialization, resulting in a noticeable delay before the SMS functions become available. A.1.5.1 New Tapping on the New button opens a dialog for sending a new SMS message. The recipient's phone number (to be entered in the To: field) can consist of the digits 0 through 9, as well as the * and # characters, optionally preceded by one + character, indicating an international number (i.e. the country code follows immediately after the + character). By checking the Store message in Outbox field a new message can be stored in the Outbox before being sent. If no storage space is available, or the modem does not support the storage of outgoing messages, then this checkbox is disabled. A.1.5.2 Inbox Tapping on the Inbox button opens the list of received messages. Reading 50 messages, for example, from the SIM can take about 30 seconds. By default the list of messages is sorted with the most recently received message first. The list can be sorted by any other column by clicking on the corresponding column heading. Clicking the same column heading twice reverses the sort order. Pressing any letter or digit moves the highlight to the next message whose address begins with that letter or number. EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual A-15 Preliminary Draft Appendix A: Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN) Voice Note: The date and time formats can be changed through the Region and Language menu in Control Panel. For a new date or time format to take effect the Inbox has to be closed and re-opened. The Open button opens the selected message in a new window such that the entire message can be read including the original formatting (line breaks are replaced by spaces in the Inbox message list). Pressing the Reply button opens the new message dialog as described above, except the destination phone number is filled in already. A.1.5.3 Outbox Tapping on the Outbox button opens the list of sent messages. Otherwise the Outbox behaves exactly as the Inbox described above. The date and time when a message was sent is not available for GSM modems. A.1.5.4 SMS Configuration Tapping on the SMS Configuration button opens the SMS configuration dialog. The SMS Centre address follows the same rules as the recipient's phone number in the New message dialog. The message validity period parameter is sent to the SMS Centre with each message sent subsequently and instructs the SMS Centre on how long it should attempt to deliver the message to the recipient (the SMS Centre may impose an upper limit on the validity period regardless of the setting). Note: Only certain discrete validity period values can be sent and thus the validity period is rounded to the nearest allowed value. The next time the SMS configuration dialog is opened the rounded value is shown. The user interface tries to keep the SMS storage location available for a new incoming message if the Delete oldest message when full checkbox is checked. In this case, when a new message arrives and the SMS storage becomes full, the oldest received message is deleted. If any string is entered as the Message Suppression Prefix, then messages beginning with that string will not be shown in either the Inbox or Outbox. In this way messages intended for another application running on the same device can be hidden from the user, as long as those messages begin with the string configured here. A.1.6 Voice The Voice tab is described in detail under “Voice – Using the Phone Dialer” on page 31. A-16 EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual Preliminary Draft Appendix A: Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN) Power Mode A.2 Power Mode The power mode of the modem is controlled through the Power menu in the Control Panel (not through the Wireless WAN user interface). For CF Card modems, the settings are found under the Devices tab. If the checkbox for a modem is unchecked, no power is applied to the modem and no driver is loaded (neither the serial port driver nor the Wireless WAN driver). If the checkbox is checked, power is applied to the modem and the drivers are loaded when the computer is turned on. Power is removed from the modem when the computer enters suspend mode.

The symbologies listed change to reflect the scanner you choose and the bar codes it supports. Important: To improve the decode speed and performance, enable only those codes that are required by the application. Keep in mind that some bar code types are only available when an internal imaging scanner is installed. All internal scanners can be configured using the Barcode dialog boxes. EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual C-1 Appendix C: Bar Codes Settings Decoded (Internal) Scanner Preliminary Draft C.2 Decoded (Internal) Scanner C.2.1 Options – Decoded (Internal) Scanner Dot Time (msec) The value selected for “Dot Time (msec)” determines (in milliseconds) how long the targeting dot remains on before the scanner switches to a normal scan sweep. When you doubletap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can enter a value of 0 msec, 200 msec or 400 msec. A value of 0 (zero) disables the target dot. Aim Duration This parameter determines the total time the aiming pattern appears before the scanner laser begins sweeping. When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can enter a value from 0 to 30 (0 to 3 sec.). A value of 0 (zero) disables the aiming dot. Laser On Time The value assigned to this parameter determines how long the laser will remain on when the scan button or trigger is pressed. Double-tapping on this parameter displays a dialog box in which you can enter a value between 5 and 99, each number representing 0.1. C-2 EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual Preliminary Draft C.2.2 Appendix C: Bar Codes Settings Advanced Options – Decoded (Internal) Advanced Options – Decoded (Internal) Continuous Scan Mode Setting this parameter to ‘on’ keeps the laser on and continuously decoding as long as the scanner button is pressed and held down. Minimum Cancel Time The value assigned to this parameter determines the time delay before the scanner is turned off, once the scanner trigger or button is released. This gives the scanner a minimum amount of time to complete its current decode before the scan is cancelled when the user quickly triggers on/off. Power Mode This parameter is a power-saving option. Tapping on it displays a screen listing two power mode options: Continuous Power and Low Power. In Continuous Power mode, the scanner is always on, waiting for a trigger pull or a serial communication. In Low Power mode, the scanner is in a standby state, drawing minimal power until a trigger pull or serial communication wakes it. Keep in mind that while this option is more suitable for battery powered applications, there will be a slight delay while the scanner powers up to scan a bar code. Low Power Timeout To extend laser life, you can select the length of time the scanner remains active following a successful decode. The scanner wakes from low power mode when a bar code is scanned – a successful decode restores normal blinking. When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can choose a value of 30 sec, 1 min, 2 min or 3 min. Note: This parameter is only used if the Trigger Mode has been set to Continuous On and the EP10 is mounted in a fixed position; otherwise, ‘Low Power Timeout’ is not used. Parameter Scanning Setting this parameter to on enables decoding of parameter bar codes. EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual C-3 Appendix C: Bar Codes Settings Advanced Options – Decoded (Internal) Preliminary Draft Linear Security Level This parameter allows you to select the security level appropriate for your bar code quality. There are four levels of decode security for linear code types (e.g., Code 39, Interleaved 2 of 5). Higher security levels should be selected for decreasing levels of bar code quality. As security levels increase, the scanner’s decode speed decreases. Double-tapping on this parameter displays a dialog box in which you can enter a value from 1 to 4. “Linear security level 1” specifies that the following code types must be successfully read twice before being decoded: Code Type Length Codabar All MSI Plessey 4 or less D 5 of 5 8 or less I 2 of 5 8 or less “Linear security level 2” specifies that all types of codes must be successfully read twice before being decoded. “Linear security level 3” specifies that code types other than the following must be successfully read twice before being decoded. The following codes must be read three times: Code Type Length MSI Plessey 4 or less D 2 of 5 8 or less I 2 of 5 8 or less “Linear security level 4” requires that all code types be successfully read three times before being decoded. Bi-Direction Redundancy Note: This parameter is only valid if a “Linear Security Level” is enabled. C-4 EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual Preliminary Draft Appendix C: Bar Codes Settings Decoded (Internal) 2D Scanning Options When this parameter is enabled, a bar code must be successfully scanned in both directions (forward and reverse) before being decoded. Scan Angle This option allows you to choose from two scan angles: Normal Angle or Alternate Angle. Choosing Normal Angle allows the normal operation for scanning long range and short range. Choosing Alternate Angle widens the beam to allow scanning of long bar codes at short range but at the cost of long range scanning. C.2.3 Decoded (Internal) 2D Scanning Options Scanning Mode When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can choose one of the following scanning modes: Smart Raster, Always Raster, Programmable Raster, Slab Pattern, Cyclone Pattern or Semi-Omni Pattern. Raster Height And Raster Expand Rate These parameter determine the laser pattern’s height and rate of expansion. Note: These parameters are only used when either Programmable Raster or Always Raster is assigned to the “2D Scanning Mode” parameter. “2D Raster Height” and “2D Raster Expand Rate” are intended for very specific applications and are usually not required for normal scanning purposes. Double-tapping on this parameter displays a dialog box in which you can enter a value from 1 to 15. C.2.4 Data Options — Decoded (Internal) Scanner Transmit Code ID Char A code ID character identifies the scanned bar code type. In addition to any single character prefix already selected, the code ID character is inserted between the prefix and the decoded symbol. When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can choose a transmit code: None, AIM or Symbol. EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual C-5 Appendix C: Bar Codes Settings Code 39 Preliminary Draft Scan Data Format This parameter allows you to change the scan data transmission format. Double-tapping on “Scan Data Format” displays the following options from which you can choose a data format: data (as-is), data [S1], data [S2], data [S1][S2], [P] data, [P] data [S1], [P] data [S2] and [P] data [S1][S2]. Prefix [P], Suffix [S1] And Suffix [S2] A prefix and/or one or two suffixes may be appended to scan data for use in data editing. When you double-tap on these parameters, a dialog box is displayed in which you can enter a value from 0 to 255. Delete Char Set ECIs Setting this parameter to on enables the scanner to delete any escape sequences representing Character Set ECIs – Extended Channel Interpretations (also known as GLIs) from its buffer before transmission. When this parameter is enabled, the scanner transmits data from PDF417 and MicroPDF417 bar codes containing Character Set ECIs, even when the ECI Protocol is disabled. ECI Decoder Setting this parameter to on enables the scanner to interpret any Extended Channel Interpretations (ECIs) supported by the scanner. This parameter has no effect on symbols that were not encoded using ECIs. If this parameter is set to off and a symbol that was encoded using an ECI escape is scanned, the scanner transmits the ECI escape followed by the uninterpreted data. C.2.5 Code 39 Enabled Setting this parameter to on enables “Code 39”. Enable Trioptic Code 39 Note: “Trioptic Code 39” and “Full ASCII” should not be enabled simultaneously. The scanner does not automatically discriminate between these two symbologies. Trioptic Code 39 symbols always contain six characters. Setting this parameter to on allows this type of symbology to be recognized. C-6 EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual Preliminary Draft Appendix C: Bar Codes Settings Code 39 Convert To Code 32 Note: “Code 39” must be enabled in order for this parameter to function. Setting this parameter to on allows the scanner to convert the bar code from “Code 39” to “Code 32”. Code 32 Prefix Note: “Convert to Code 32” must be enabled in order for this parameter to function. When this parameter is enabled, the prefix character “A” is added to all “Code 32” bar codes. Set Length L1 And Set Length L2 Lengths for “Code 39” can be set for Any length, Length within a range, One discrete length or Two discrete lengths. The length of a code refers to the number of characters (i.e., human readable characters), including check digit(s). Double-tapping on this parameter displays a dialog box labelled Set Code Lengths where you can define the code length that will be decoded by your scanner. Choosing One discrete length allows you to decode only those codes containing a selected length. Choosing Two discrete lengths allows you to decode only those codes containing two selected lengths. Length within a range allows you to decode a code type within a specified range from 1 to 55. EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual C-7 Appendix C: Bar Codes Settings Code 39 Preliminary Draft Check Digit Verification When this parameter is enabled (set to on), the integrity of a “Code 39” symbol is checked to ensure that it complies with specified algorithms. Note: Only those “Code 39” symbols that include a Mod 43 check digit are decoded when this parameter is enabled. Transmit Check Digit If the check digit is to be transmitted with the data, this parameter must to enabled. Full ASCII If this parameter is enabled, the characters +, %, and / are used as escape characters. The combination of an escape character and the next character is converted to an equivalent ASCII character. Decode Performance If this parameter is enabled, one of three decode levels can be chosen in the “Decode Performance Level” parameter. Decode Perf. Level This parameter provides three levels of decode performance or “aggressiveness” for Code 39 symbols. Increasing the performance level reduces the amount of required bar code orientation – this is useful when scanning very long and/or truncated bar codes. Keep in mind that increased levels reduce decode security. When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can enter a decode performance level of between 1 and 3. Length Restriction The parameters in this sub-menu allow you to define the length of the bar codes that will be decoded using either the Field Size parameter or the Minimum Size and Maximum Size parameters (see below). The order of operation to either match the Field Size or determine if the length falls between the Minimum Size and Maximum Size is as follows: • • • C-8 Strip the leading and trailing characters. Add the prefix and suffix characters. Count the number of characters remaining to either match the field size or determine if the length falls between the minimum and maximum size. EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual Preliminary Draft Appendix C: Bar Codes Settings Code 128 Field Size When a value is assigned for this parameter, only bar codes that match the field size exactly can be transmitted. If a value is assigned to this parameter, a Minimum Size and Maximum Size value is not required. Minimum Size And Maximum Size When a value is assigned to these parameters, only bar code lengths that fall between the minimum and maximum value can be decoded. If values are assigned to these parameters, a Field Size value is not required. Add/Remove Data Prefix Char This character, if non-zero, is added before a successfully decoded bar code. Press the key you want to insert in the dialog box attached to this parameter. The ASCII/Unicode key value of the keypress is displayed. Suffix Char This character, if non-zero, is added after a successfully decoded bar code. Press the key you want to insert in the dialog box attached to this parameter. The ASCII/Unicode key value of the keypress is displayed. Strip Leading This parameter determines the number of characters that will be removed from the beginning of the bar code before the prefix character is added. Note: For Code 39 bar codes, the “AIAG Strip” is performed before the “Strip Leading”. Strip Trailing The value entered in this parameter determines the number of characters that will be removed from the end of the bar code before the suffix character is added. C.2.6 Code 128 Enabled Set this parameter to on to enable “Code 128”. Enable GS1-128/GS1 US Previously UPC/EAN and UCC, these types of bar codes include group separators and start codes.

Decode Performance If this parameter is set to on, one of three decode levels assigned to the “Decode Performance Level” parameter can be selected. Decode Perf. Level This parameter provides three levels of decode performance or “aggressiveness” for Code 128 symbols. Increasing the performance level reduces the amount of required bar code orientation – this is useful when scanning very long and/or truncated bar codes. Keep in mind that increased levels reduce decode security. When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can enter a decode performance level of between 1 and 3. Length Restriction Refer to “Length Restriction” on page C-8 for details. Add/Remove Data Refer to “Add/Remove Data” on page C-9 for details.

After conversion, data follows UPC-A format and is affected by UPC-A programming selections (e.g., Preamble, Check Digit). Conv. UPC-E1 To UPC-A This parameter converts UPC-E1 (zero suppressed) decoded data to UPC-A format before transmission. After conversion, data follows UPC-A format and is affected by UPC-A programming selections (e.g., Preamble, Check Digit). Add/Remove Data Refer to “Add/Remove Data” on page C-9 for details. C.2.11 UPC/EAN Shared Settings The parameters you set here are a shared across all available UPC and EAN bar codes. Enable Bookland EAN Setting this parameter to on allows your scanner to recognize “Bookland EAN” bar codes. Supplementals “Supplementals” are additionally appended characters (2 or 5). Double-tapping this parameter displays a list of options. If Ignore is chosen, UPC/EAN is decoded and the supplemental characters are ignored. If Decode is chosen, UPC/EAN symbols are decoded with supplementals. Autodiscriminate works in conjunction with the “Supp. Redundancy” parameter. Supp. Redundancy With Autodiscriminate selected in the “Supplementals” parameter, “Supp. Redundancy” adjusts the number of times a symbol without supplementals is decoded before transmission. When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can enter a value between 2 and 20. A value of 5 or above is recommended when Autodiscriminate is selected and you are decoding a mix of UPC/EAN symbols with and without supplementals. C-12 EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual Preliminary Draft Appendix C: Bar Codes Settings Code 93 Security Level This parameter controls the tolerance for decoding edge-to-edge UPC/EAN bar codes. Double-tapping on this parameter displays a dialog box in which you can choose a level from 0 to 3. Lower values have a lower tolerance for misreads, but they also increase the time it takes to decode the bar code. Linear Decode “Linear Decode” applies to code types containing two adjacent blocks (e.g., UPC-A, EAN8, EAN-13). When enabled (set to on), a bar code is transmitted only when both the left and right blocks are successfully decoded within one laser scan. This option should be enabled when bar codes are in proximity to each other. 2D UPC Half Block Stitching Setting this parameter to on enables “UPC Half Block Stitching” for the SE 3223 omnidirectional engine only. C.2.12 Code 93 Enabled Set this parameter to on to enable “Code 93” or off to disable it. Set Length L1 And Set Length L2 Lengths for “Code 93” can be set for Any length, Length within a range, One discrete length or Two discrete lengths. The length of a code refers to the number of characters (i.e., human readable characters), including check digit(s). Double-tapping on this parameter displays a dialog box labelled Set Code Lengths where you can define the code length that will be recognized by your scanner. Choosing One discrete length allows you to decode only those codes containing a selected length. Choosing Two discrete lengths allows you to decode only those codes containing two selected lengths. Length within a range allows you to decode a code type within a specified range from 4 to 55. Length Restriction Refer to “Length Restriction” on page C-8 for details.

C-46 EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual Preliminary Draft APPENDIX TEKLOGIX IMAGERS APPLET The Teklogix Imagers applet is used to create, modify, delete and activate imager settings. The principle uses of the applet are to decode bar codes and to capture images. A Demonstration Application is provided to demonstrates how the imager works. Refer to “PTSI Imager Demo” on page 69 for details. D.1 Required Applets In order to configure imaging, the Manage Triggers and Teklogix Scanners applets must be present in the Settings>System tab along with the Teklogix Imagers applet. D.2 Presets There are two methods that can be used to configure an imager using the Teklogix Imagers applet: • • Use a predefined preset. Create a custom preset based on a predefined preset. Important: It is strongly recommended that a predefined preset is used whenever possible. Each predefined preset contains a coherent group of settings that are known to work together in the intended environment. In almost all situations, at least one of the predefined presets results in a satisfactory outcome. A preset is a group of exposure and image correction settings. Each preset configures the imager for a specific purpose such as bar code decoding or image capture. Presets also allow easier and faster configuration of the imager after power-on or resume from suspend. The predefined presets are generic and satisfy most user requirements. A custom preset can be created for a specific user application, such as: include only specified bar codes, read only a specified number of bar codes or for reading unusual media. EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual D-1 Appendix D: Teklogix Imagers Applet Predefined Presets Preliminary Draft Every preset belongs to a preset type. The following preset types are available: • Imaging for photo capture. • Imaging for bar code decoding. • Symbology selection. At any time, only one preset of each type can be designated as the user-selected active preset. D.2.1 Predefined Presets Predefined presets are built into the imaging software and cannot be changed. The predefined presets allow you to use the imager to perform specified tasks without having to understand and set numerous variables. In almost all cases these predefined presets are sufficient. D.2.2 Bar Code Predefined Presets These presets encompass the majority of the most popular bar codes and their subtypes. The bar code decoding symbology predefined presets define which bar codes can be decoded. The bar code decoding camera predefined presets determine how the bar code images are captured D.2.2.1 Bar Code Decoding Symbology Predefined Presets The following presets select groups of similar bar codes for decoding. Note: It is recommended that the default preset be used whenever possible. Factory Default This preset enables the decoding of frequently used bar codes. My Default This preset is synchronized with the Teklogix Scanners applet and contains all the symbologies selected using the Teklogix Scanner applet. For details on this synchronization see, “Configuring Symbologies in the Teklogix Imagers Applet” on page D-17. All This preset enables the decoding of all bar codes that the imager can decode. For a description of these symbologies see “Imager” on page C-37. D-2 EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual Preliminary Draft Appendix D: Teklogix Imagers Applet Bar Code Decoding Camera Predefined Presets Linear This preset enables the decoding of all the 1D symbologies that the imager can decode. See “Imager” on page C-37 for a description of these symbologies. Linear and PDF417 This preset enables the decoding of all the 1D and PDF symbologies that the imager can decode. See “Imager” on page C-37 for a description of these symbologies. Matrix This preset enables the decoding of all 2 D symbologies that the imager can decode. See “Imager” on page C-37 for a description of these symbologies. Postal This preset enables the decoding of all the postal symbologies that the imager can decode. See “Imager” on page C-37 for a description of these symbologies. D.2.3 Bar Code Decoding Camera Predefined Presets The following presets enable successful bar code image capture in almost all conditions. Note: It is recommended that the default preset be used whenever possible. Default This preset works in a wide range of conditions. It is optimized for a normal office lighting (about 300 Lux). Low light This preset is designed for very dark conditions such as inside a warehouse where the lights are kept low, or inside an unlit truck. This preset increases either the exposure time or the gain. Low power This preset minimizes the use of the flash so as to conserve the battery power on the EP10. Glossy surface This preset minimizes the use of the flash so as to reduce reflection. This preset is used to read bar codes that are behind glass, or inside the plastic window of an envelope. EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual D-3 Appendix D: Teklogix Imagers Applet Image Capture Predefined Presets D.2.4 Preliminary Draft Image Capture Predefined Presets The following presets enable successful image capture in almost all conditions. Note: It is recommended that the default preset be used whenever possible. Default This preset works in a wide range of conditions. It is optimized for a normal office lighting (about 300 Lux). Motion This preset uses a shorter exposure time so as to freeze motion. Low light near This preset is designed for dark conditions, it uses a longer exposure time and includes the flash.
