Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual55Chapter3:Getting To Know Your 7530Storing Batteries3.9.1 Storing BatteriesLong 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 bat-teries at temperatures between 0˚ C and 20˚C. • Always charge batteries to 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.• A ‘never used’ Li-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.3.10 Monitoring The Network ConnectionIf your hand-held is equipped with a wireless LAN radio, it will typically associate with the nearest access point. The radio signal quality meter in the taskbar indicates the relative strength of the communication link. To access the radio signal icon from the keyboard:• Press <BLUE> <0> to display the Start Menu.• Choose System Tray from the menu.• Use the <LEFT> and <RIGHT> arrow keys to highlight the radio signal icon in the taskbar.• Press <ENTER> to display the wireless statistics box dialogue box.If you have a touchscreen:• Tap on the radio icon in the taskbar to display the wireless statistics dialogue box.Note: Moving in and out of the radio coverage area can have varying effects on a network session. At times, you may need to renew your connection by logging in again.
Chapter3:Getting To Know Your 7530Uploading Data In A Docking Station56Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual3.11 Uploading Data In A Docking StationThe Combo Docking and Quad Docking peripherals allow the 7535 to link to an Ethernet network. They are typically used to upload transaction data to a server computer when a radio link in not available. When a 7530 is properly inserted in a docking station, a dock icon is displayed in the taskbar at the bottom of the 7530 screen. The 7530 also detects the presence of the Ethernet network. Review the documentation provided with the user application installed in your 7530 before preforming data uploads.3.12 General Maintenance3.12.1 Caring For The TouchscreenThe 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:• mustard,• sodium hydroxide,• concentrated caustic solutions,• benzyl alcohol, and• concentrated miner acids.If the touchscreen is used in harsh environments, consider applying a disposable screen protector (PN HU6110). 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.

Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual61Chapter 4: Working With Windows CENavigating In Windows CE And Applications4.1 Navigating In Windows CE And ApplicationsGraphic user interfaces like Windows CE for portable devices and desktop Windows (2000, XP, etc.) utilize ‘point and click’ navigation. An equivalent keyboard shortcut is also available for every ‘point and click’ action.Windows CE supports the same ‘point and click’ user interface and keyboard shortcuts as desktop Windows with one difference – the ‘point and click’ action is accomplished using a touchscreen rather than a mouse. Actions can be performed using any combination of keyboard shortcuts or touchscreen tapping (provided your 7530 is equipped with a touchscreen).4.1.1 Navigating Using A Touchscreen And StylusNote: If the touch screen is not registering your screen taps accurately, the touchscreen may need recalibration. Refer to “Calibrating The Touch-screen” on page 41.A touchscreen is an optional feature. A 7530 equipped with a touchscreen has a stylus – a pointing tool that looks like a pen – stored in a slot at the top of the 7530. The stylus is used to select objects on the touchscreen.Note: To prevent damage to the touchscreen, use only the stylus (pen) supplied with your 7530.To open a file, launch an applet or open a folder:• Double-tap the stylus on the appropriate icon.

Setting ‘Switch State To Suspend’ to ‘Never’ will adversely affect the battery run time. To further reduce power consumption, carefully consider the duration of time that the display backlight is ‘on’ (see “Display Backlight” on page 89).When the 7530 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 Switch State To Suspend field to determine when the unit will go to sleep (appear to be off). When the time in the Suspend field elapses without any activity, the unit enters Suspend state. In Suspend state, the 7530 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 7530 is in suspend state, the network connection will not be broken immediately. If the connection is dropped, you must re-establish the network connection.

5.7 Scanner Properties SetupThe Teklogix Scanners icon in the Control Panel provides dialogue boxes in which you can tailor bar code options and choose the bar codes your scanner will recognize.5.7.1 Scanner OptionsFigure 5.45 Bar Code OptionsTo display the sub-menus available in the Options tab:• Highlight the option you want to work with, and press the right <ARROW> key.To change a parameter:• Highlight the parameter and press the <RIGHT> arrow key, or press the <SPACE> key.If a field requires text entry, a text field is displayed in which you can type the appropriate value.Display ParametersScan ResultWhen this parameter is enabled (set to ‘ON’), 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.
Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual119Chapter 5: ConfigurationScanner OptionsScan IndicatorWhen this parameter is enabled (set to ‘ON’), 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.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.Scan BeepThis parameter determines whether or not the 7530 emits an audible scanner ‘beep’ when a scan is performed. Set this parameter to either ‘ON’ to enable the beeper or ‘OFF’ to disable it.Scan Log FileIf 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.Double Click ParametersClick 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, double-clicking the scanner trigger inserts the “Click Data” value rather than initiating a scan.
Chapter 5: ConfigurationScanner Options120Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User ManualClick DataFor both integrated and external scanners, this parameter determines which character is sent to the application installed in your 7530 following a double-click. A dialogue box appears, asking that you press the key you want to insert. The ASCII/Unicode key value of the keypress is displayed. Pressing the <ESC> key in this dialogue box resets the data to zero.OptionsDot 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. The allowable values are: 0, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 seconds. A value of 0 (zero) disables the target dot.Short CodeWhen enabled (set to ‘ON’), this parameter allows scanning of short I 2 of 5 bar codes (2 characters). When disabled, these short bar codes are rejected.Enabling “Short Code” may reduce the robustness of the decoding since the 7530 must decode more potential bar codes; it is therefore not recommended for general-purpose bar codes with 4 or more characters.VerifyThe value entered for this parameter determines the number of correct additional decodes required after the initial decode before a bar code is accepted. Higher values significantly increase the time it takes to decode a bar code but also improve the reliability of the decoded bar code.SecurityThis parameter controls the tolerance for decoding edge-to-edge bar codes (Code 93, Code 128, UPC/EAN). Lower values have a lower tolerance for misreads, but they also increase the time it takes to decode the bar code. The default value of 30 is generally a good compromise setting.

Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual123Chapter 5: ConfigurationCode 39 SettingsAIAG StripIf this parameter is enabled (set to ‘ON’), the AIAG data identifier is removed from each decoded Code 39 label. The data identifier occurs in the first position next to the Code 39 start character. It can be a single alphabetic character or a series of numeric digits followed by an alphabetic character. This identifier defines the general category or specific use of the data contained in the rest of the bar code.Note: If your unit is operating with the Psion Teklogix TESS application, this parameter should not be used in conjunction with the TESS AIAG feature. This is because the 7530 hand-held performs the strip function before it processes the data through the AIAG feature; if the prefix is stripped, the data is not identified as AIAG.Error AcceptIf the “Err Accept” and “AIAG Strip” parameters are enabled (set to ‘ON’), all label data without an AIAG identifier character is accepted. If the “Err Accept” parameter is disabled and the “AIAG Strip” parameter is enabled (set to ‘ON’), the label data is not accepted.Mod ChecksMod 43 CheckIf this parameter is enabled (set to ‘ON’), the Mod 43 check digit is calculated.Mod 10 CheckIf this parameter is enabled (set to ‘ON’), the Mod 10 check digit is calculated.NoneIf you choose ‘None’, a check is not executed.Field Size/CharsField SizeThe field size is the length of the field after the first character is stripped and the prefix and suffix characters are added.

Chapter 5: ConfigurationSNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) Setup134Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual5.8 SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) SetupSimple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is the protocol used to monitor and manage devices attached to a TCP/IP network (providing they support SNMP). SNMP uses Management Information Bases (MIBs) that define the variables an SNMP Network Management Station can access. Each product has a defined set of MIBs that determine how SNMP operates, the type of access allowed and so on. All Teklogix products support the TEKLOGIX-GENERIC-MIB – a MIB that defines some common features across Teklogix products. All devices also support MIB-II, a management information base that defines the common features of TCP/IP networks. The SNMP Agent software embedded in the 7530 product supports SNMPv1 (RFC 1157).• In the Control Panel, choose the SNMP icon.Figure 5.50 SNMP Icon
