Keyboard One Shot Modes
In the Keyboard Properties dialog box, open the One Shots tab.
The options in this tab allow you to determine how modifier keys on your
WORKABOUT PRO behave. For each modifier key—[ALT], [SHIFT], [CTRL],
[FN/ORANGE] and [FN/BLUE]—you have the following options in the
drop-down menu: Lock, OneShot, and OneShot/Lock.
Note:
Keep in mind that checking the taskbar lets you know whether or not
these keys are locked on. For example, if the [FN/ORANGE] key is locked
‘on’, the taskbar at the bottom of the screen displays it in uppercase characters, ORANGE KEY. If this key is displayed in lowercase characters in the
taskbar, you’ll know that the orange key is not locked. It will become inactive following a key press.
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.

Unicode Mapping
In the Keyboard Properties dialog box, open the Unicode Mapping tab.
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, the sample screen
above shows “a (U+0061)” indicating that the character “a” is represented by the
Unicode value “0061”, and so on. Keep in mind that Unicode configurations are
represented as hexadecimal 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.
Adding And Changing Unicode Values

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] key, etc.), perform a function (e.g.
turn the scanner on, change volume/contrast, etc.) or run a macro.
WORKABOUT PRO Hand-Held Computer With Windows CE 5.0 User Manual

Chapter 5: Configuration
Keyboard Properties
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 [FN/BLUE] modifier is on; the
Orange table defines key presses that occur when the [FN/ORANGE] modifier is
on. The default mappings of these scancodes can be overwritten for each of these
three tables using the Scancode Remapping tab accessed from the Keyboard
Properties dialog box.
The first column in the Scancode Remapping tab displays the scancodes in
hexadecimal. 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).

scan code will be remapped: 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.

Psion Teklogix recommends setting the Suspend value to 10 minutes. To further reduce power consumption, carefully consider the
duration of time that the display backlight is ‘on’ (see “Display
Backlight” on page 85).
When the WORKABOUT PRO is idle—not receiving any user input (a key touch, a
scan, and so on) or system activity (serial data, an activity initiated by an
application, and so on)—the hand-held uses the value assigned in the Suspend
Timeout field to determine when the unit will go to sleep (appear to be off).
When the time in the Suspend Timeout field elapses without any activity, the unit
enters suspend state. In suspend state, the WORKABOUT PRO CPU enters a sleep
state, and the radio is shut off. The state of the device (RAM contents) is preserved.
Pressing [ENTER] wakes the system from suspend state. When the WORKABOUT
PRO is in suspend state, the network connection will not be broken immediately. If
the connection is dropped, you must re-establish the network connection.

Suspend Threshold
The Suspend Threshold adjustment tells the system when to shut down when the
battery drains. If left at the default value, Maximum Operating Time, the hand-held
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 hand-held shuts off with
more energy left in the battery so RAM can be backed up for a longer period of
time.
Important:
100
Selecting Maximum backup time will reserve approximately 20%
of the battery capacity for memory backup. Once the battery is
drained, the system RAM memory is lost and the unit must cold
boot.
In most real-time transaction environments this is not a problem
(it only takes a few seconds to cold boot). Batch transaction environments, where data is not saved to a non-volatile memory (such
as an SD FLASH card), may need to pay particular attention to
this parameter. Psion Teklogix does not recommend the storage of
any valuable data in system RAM.
The WORKABOUT PRO Windows CE 5.0 environment does not
store any critical data in RAM (such as the registry or file system).
If the user's application does not save data to RAM, Psion Teklogix recommends keeping the Suspend Threshold setting as low
as possible to maximize battery run time.

Manage Triggers
•
In the Manage Triggers screen you’ll see a list of trigger mappings.
5.5.6.1
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 107.

5.6 Bluetooth Setup
Bluetooth is a global standard for wireless connectivity for digital devices and is
intended for Personal Area Networks (PAN). The technology is based on a
short-range radio link that operates in the ISM band at 2.4 GHz. When two
Bluetooth-equipped devices come within a 5 meter range of each other, they can
establish a connection. Because Bluetooth utilizes a radio-based link, it does not
require a line-of-sight connection in order to communicate.
Note:
The Bluetooth radio uses an internal antenna.
The Bluetooth radio is disabled by default. Before you begin the setup process:
• In the Control Panel, tap on the Power icon.
• Tap on the Devices tab, and tap in the checkbox next to Enable Bluetooth.
Tap on OK.
When the radio is enabled, a Bluetooth icon appears the taskbar at the bottom of the
screen. It is ready for setup.

The Active column indicates whether any service is activated for that device. When
a service is activated, the device is displayed in the list even when it is not detected
during the scan.
The PIN column indicates whether you have a PIN (password) set for the device.
At this point you can either query for services or set the PIN for each device. Once
you highlight a device in the list box, both the Services and Set PIN buttons
become available.
Services
A discovered device may display several service profiles that it can use to
communicate, and you will want to activate the type you need. Supported profiles
that can be activated include: DUN (Dial-Up Networking service), Printer (serial
service), Headset service and LANPPP (LANAccessUsingPPP service). ASync
(ActiveSync) is another available profile.
• To start the service scan, highlight a device in the Devices tab list, and then
click on the Services button or double-click on the device entry.
Note:
If the remote device is out of reach or turned off, it can take a considerable amount of time for the Services dialog box to appear—it may appear
to be frozen.

5.10.2.2 Decoded (Internal) Advanced Options
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.
Low Power Timeout
To extend laser life, you can select the 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.
This is only used if the unit’s Trigger Mode has been changed to Continuous On. If
the unit is used in a fixed mount this parameter might be used, but not if the unit is

Append
If this parameter enabled, any Code 39 bar code that contains a space as the first
character will be “stored in memory”. Once a Code 39 barcode containing a
non-space first character is scanned, this bar code will be appended to the bar codes
containing the spaces and the imager will transmit the ALL the data. The spaces are
then removed.
Pharmaceutical
This is a numeric (0-9) fixed length barcode used by Italian pharmacies. It is also
referred to as Code 32 Pharmacode and is a form of Code 39.

Codabar can use the following sets of characters as start and stop characters:
a, b, c, d
A, B, C, D
a, b, c, d, /, t, n, *, e
DC1, DC2, DC3, DC4
Thus, when a set is chosen, the first and last digits of a Codabar message must be
one of those characters and the body of the message should not contain these
characters. Setting this parameter to off strips the start and stop characters from this
bar code.
Check Char
When this parameter is set to Validate only, the integrity of a “Code 39” symbol is
checked to ensure that it complies with specified algorithms.
If “Check Char” is set to Validate and Transmit, the check character is validated and
transmitted with the data.
Setting this parameter to None disables this function.
