Chapter 2: Basic CheckoutConfiguring An IEEE 802.11 Radio Installed In The 753022Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User ManualAuthentication802.11 supports two subtypes of network authentication services: Openand Shared. Under Open authentication, any wireless station can request authentication. The station that needs to authenticate with another wireless station sends an authentication management frame that contains the identity of the sending station. The receiving station then sends back a frame that indicates whether it recognizes the identity of the sending station. Under Shared authentication, each wireless station is assumed to have received a secret shared key over a secure channel that is independent from the 802.11 wireless network communications channel.Network Key:This text box is used to specify a 5 or 13 ASCII character sequence or an equivalent 10 or 26 Hexadecimal digit sequence that matches the active WEP key on the access point.• To assign a Network key, press <TAB> to highlight ‘The key is provided auto-matically’, and press the <SPACE> key to disable this option.Figure 2.10 Accessing Network Key And Key IndexKey Index:This field is used to identify the WEP key. • Enter a value from 1 to 4.Disable this option toaccess Network Key &Key Index fields.

Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual35Chapter3:Getting To Know Your 7530The KeyboardSwitching Off The 7530Important: Keep in mind that turning off the 7530 does not result in a complete reboot; rather, the unit enters a power-saving, “suspend” state. When the 7530 is turned on from suspend state, operation resumes within a few seconds. To switch off the 7530:• Press the <BLUE> key, and then press the <ENTER/ON> key.Important: If the word ‘BLUE’ is displayed in uppercase in the taskbar area at the bottom of the screen, this key is locked “on” – the 7535 will not switch off. Press the <BLUE> key again to unlock it; then press <BLUE> <ENTER/ON> to switch the 7535 off.If, however, you’ve disabled the “Blue Key” in the ‘One Shot’ dia-logue box (see “Keyboard One Shot Modes” on page 94), the 7535 can be turned off even when the <BLUE> key is locked ‘on’.3.4 The KeyboardThe 7530 offers two types of keyboard layouts – a 58-key keyboard and a 36-key, large button keyboard. 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> and <ORANGE> modifier keys provide access to additional keys and system functions. These functions are colour coded in orange and blue print above the keyboard keys.3.4.1 Modifier KeysThe <SHIFT>, <CTRL>, <ALT>, <BLUE> and <ORANGE> keys are modifier keys. Pressing a modifier key changes the function of the next key pressed. For example, on a 58-key keyboard, a square bracket is printed in orange print above the <4> key. Pressing the <ORANGE> key followed by the <4> key displays a square bracket rather than the number 4.
Chapter3:Getting To Know Your 7530Activating Modifier Keys36Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User ManualThe <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.3.4.1.1 Activating Modifier KeysWhen a modifier key is pressed once, it is displayed in lowercase letters in the taskbar at the bottom of the 7535 screen. For example, if the <CTRL> key is pressed, ctrl key is displayed at the bottom of the unit screen. Once the next key is pressed, the modifier key becomes inactive and disappears from the taskbar.3.4.1.2 Locking Modifier KeysWhen a modifier key is pressed twice, it is ‘locked’ on. A ‘locked’ modifier key is displayed in uppercase letters in the taskbar. For example, pressing the <BLUE> key twice locks it on – it is displayed as BLUE KEY in the taskbar at the bottom of the computer screen.The locked modifier key will remain active until it is pressed a third time to unlock or turn it off. Once a modifier key is unlocked (pressed a third time), the uppercase representation at the bottom of the screen is no longer displayed.Note: The locking function of the <ORANGE> and <BLUE> keys can be dis-abled so that pressing either of these keys once will lock the keys ‘on’. If you disable the ‘One Shot’ function of either of these keys, pressing the <BLUE> and/or <ORANGE> key once will lock the key ‘on’. Pressing the same key a second time will unlock or turn it ‘off’. Refer to “Keyboard One Shot Modes” on page 94 for details.3.4.2 The KeysThe <SHIFT> KeyThe <SHIFT> key is used to display uppercase alpha characters and provide access to the symbols above the numeric keys.The Arrow KeysThe Arrow keys move the cursor around the screen in the direction of the arrow – up, down, left and right. The cursor is the flashing box or underline character that indicates where the next character you type will appear.
Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual37Chapter3:Getting To Know Your 7530The 58-Key KeyboardThe <BKSP/DEL> KeyThe <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 <CTRL> And <ALT> KeyThe <CTRL> and <ALT> keys modify the function of the next key pressed and are application dependent. The <TAB> KeyTypically, the <TAB> key moves the cursor to the next field to the right or downward.The <ESC> KeyGenerally, this key is used as a keyboard shortcut to close the current menu, dialogue box or activity and return to the previous one.The <SPACE> KeyPressing this key inserts a blank space between characters. In a Windows dialogue box, pressing the <SPACE> key enables (√) or disables a checkbox.The <SCAN> KeyPressing the <SCAN> key – the yellow key with the star-burst scan symbol on it – activates the scanner beam while pressed. For units that do not have internal scanners, this key is inoperable.3.4.3 The 58-Key KeyboardIn addition to alphanumeric keys that are directly accessible on the keyboard (no key combination is required) and the keys described in this chapter, the 58-key keyboard also provides function keys and macro keys. Function keys <F1> through <F24> can be used with the CE operating system or another application. The additional function keys – <F25> through <F30> along with the macros are not used as part of the Windows CE operating system. All function keys and macro keys can be custom defined for each application. The Tekterm application utilizes these keys. Refer to “Additional Keyboard Functions” on page 147 for details about Tekterm keys.
Chapter3:Getting To Know Your 7530The 36-Key Keyboard38Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual3.4.4 The 36-Key KeyboardOn 36-key 7530s, all alpha characters are printed on the unit plastic in orange typeface above the numeric keys. To access an alpha character, you must first press the <ORANGE> key and then press the numeric key above which the alpha character you want to type is printed. Because the alpha keys on a 36-key keyboard are laid out much like the letters on a telephone – generally in groups of three letters per numeric key – you need to take a few extra steps to access the alphabetic characters. The examples in this section help illustrate how to access alpha characters.Choosing A Single Alpha CharacterNote: Keep in mind that the following examples assume that ‘One Shot’ is enabled for the <ORANGE> key. Refer to “Keyboard One Shot Modes” on page 94 for details.The examples below illustrate how to access A, B and C, all of which are printed in orange characters above the numeric key, <2>.To choose the letter ‘a’:• Press the <ORANGE> key, and press the numeric key <2>.To choose the letter ‘b’:• Press the <ORANGE> key twice to lock it ‘on’, and press <2> twice.• Press the <ORANGE> key again to unlock or turn it off.To choose the letter ‘c’:• Press the <ORANGE> key twice to lock it ‘on’.• Press <2> three times, and then • Press the <ORANGE> key again to unlock or turn it off.Creating Uppercase LettersTo display a capital letter:• Press the <ORANGE> key and then the <SHIFT> key before typing the alpha character.
Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual39Chapter3:Getting To Know Your 7530The 36-Key KeyboardChoosing More Than One Alpha Character From The Same KeyIf you need to choose more than one alpha character from a single key, you’ll need to press the ‘Accept’ key between alpha selections. The ‘Accept’ key is presented as an arrow ⇒ symbol above the ‘0’ (zero) key. Pressing this key signals the 7535 to display the alpha character you’ve chosen and await the next selection from the same key. For example, suppose you want to type the letters ‘a’, ‘b’ and ‘c’. These letters are all accessible from the numeric key, <2>.To type the letter ‘a’:• Press the <ORANGE> key twice to lock it ‘on’, and then press the numeric key, <2>.• Press the ‘Accept’ key < ⇒> to indicate that the letter ‘a’ should be accepted and that another letter from the same key will be chosen.To type the letter ‘b’:• Press the <2> key twice.• Press < ⇒> to accept the letter ‘b’.To type the letter ‘c’:• Press the <2> key three times.When you have completed your alpha selections from this key, you can do one of the following:• If you want to choose additional alpha characters from another key(s), leave the <ORANGE> key ‘on’, and press the next numeric key that supports the alpha character you require.• If you do not want to choose any additional alpha characters, press <ORANGE> again to unlock or turn ‘off’ the key and end alpha selection.Choosing Multiple Alpha Characters From A Range Of KeysIf you plan on choosing alpha characters from a number of different keys, you are not required to press the ‘Accept’ < ⇒> key after each alpha selection. The < ⇒> key is only required when you are choosing more than one alpha character from the same key – e.g., ‘a’, ‘b’ and ‘c’ from the <2> key.

In addition, review “Scan LED Indicators” on page 49 to better understand how to interpret whether or not a bar code has been successfully scanned. Finally, “Troubleshooting” on page 50 provides some helpful suggestions should the scan fail.
Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual49Chapter3:Getting To Know Your 7530Scanning Techniques3.7.1 Scanning TechniquesNote: The scanning techniques described here apply to internal and external scanners.• Hold the scanner at an angle. Do not hold it perpendicular to the bar code.•Do not hold the scanner directly over the bar code. In this position, light can reflect back into the scanner’s exit window and prevent a successful decode.• Scan the entire bar code. If you are using a 1D or PDF laser scanner, make certain that the scan beam crosses every bar and space on the bar code, including the margins on either end of the symbol.• If you are using a 2D imaging scanner, make certain the red, oval shaped framing mark is centered within the bar code you want to scan.• Hold the scanner farther away for larger bar codes.• Hold the scanner closer for bar codes with bars that are close together.3.7.2 Scan LED IndicatorsThe 7535 scanner LED (the lower-left LED) indicates whether or not your scan is successful. The LED behaves as follows:• Scan In Progress: scan LED displays solid red colour.• Successful Scan: scan LED displays solid green colour and turns off when the scan is ended.• Unsuccessful scan: scan LED flashes red.A bar code icon appears on the screen during a scan. While the scanner beam is active, the onscreen message states – SCANNING. If the scan is successful, the bar code data is displayed on the screen until the scan button (or pistol trigger) is released.
Chapter3:Getting To Know Your 7530Troubleshooting50Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual3.7.3 TroubleshootingIf the scanner is not working, investigate the following:• Is the 7530 on?• Check that the bar code symbology being scanned is enabled for the 7530 you are using. Check any other parameters that affect the scanning proce-dure or the bar code.• Check the bar code to make sure it is not damaged. Try scanning a different bar code to verify that the problem is not with the bar code.• Check that the bar code is within the proper range.• Does the hand-held display the warning without scanning? This suggests a hardware problem in the 7530.• Is the laser beam scanning across the bar code? • Once the scan beam has stopped, check the scanner window for dirt or fogging.3.7.4 Operating One Dimensional (1D) Internal Laser Scanners• Turn the 7530 on. Wait until the unit has booted up completely.Important: If an aiming dot is available on the installed scanner, the dot will be enabled for a configurable time period (including off), after which normal scanning begins. Refer to “Dot Time (msec)” on page 120 for details. Double-clicking the trigger will override the aiming delay and initiate an immediate scan. Note that the aiming dot is standard on long-range and high visibility internal scanners.• Aim at the bar code and press the scan key or the trigger. A scan beam and a warning indicator appear until a successful decode is achieved or six seconds have elapsed.
Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual51Chapter3:Getting To Know Your 7530Operating Internal PDF Laser Scanners3.7.5 Operating Internal PDF Laser ScannersThis scanner decodes PDF417 two-dimensional bar codes.• Turn the 7530 on. Wait until the unit has booted up completely.• Aim at the bar code and press the scan key or the trigger. The beam expands into a rectangle covering the bar code to properly scan it. The scan beam and a warning indicator are visible until a successful decode is achieved or three seconds have elapsed.3.7.6 Operating Internal Two Dimensional (2D) Imager ScannersAn imager scanner 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 7530 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 may be decoded. Only successfully decoded bar codes are passed to the applica-tion 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 imager scanners 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 7535.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 pho-tographers. 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.• Turn the 7530 computer on. Wait until the unit has booted up completely.• Aim at the bar code and press the scan key or the trigger.
Chapter3:Getting To Know Your 7530Connecting & Disconnecting Tethered Peripherals52Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual• 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.Illumination LEDs will flash and a picture of the bar code(s) is taken.3.8 Connecting & Disconnecting Tethered PeripheralsTethered peripherals such as scanners and printers connect to the hand-held computer with a quick release, circular connector. When a peripheral is connected to the hand-held, the 7535 detects the peripheral and loads the necessary drivers for it. An icon in the taskbar at the bottom of the screen provides a visual representation of the peripheral and indicates that it is ready for operation.To attach the peripheral to the round, tether port on the side of the 7530:• Insert the barrel of the plug into the tether port and rotate slowly until it clicks into place. The red dot on the port and on the connector should be aligned.Figure 3.8 Attaching The Cable To The Tether Port
Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual53Chapter3:Getting To Know Your 7530Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run TimeTo remove the peripheral:• Grasp the shell of the plug, and pull it back gently to unlock and release the connector. Figure 3.9 Disconnecting The Tether CableImportant: Never attempt to disconnect a peripheral by pulling the connector by the wire. The connector is locked into place and can only be unlocked and removed by pulling back the plug shell.3.9 Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run TimeUnder normal operating conditions, fully charged batteries last for 10 hours. 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 7530 at temperature extremes will shorten the battery life. Lithium-Ion batteries do not require conditioning cycles and the 7530 battery system (including chargers) requires no user interaction to maintain peak performance.
Chapter3:Getting To Know Your 7530Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time54Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User ManualTo maximize the run time of your batteries, consider the following:• The display backlight is the largest drain on the battery. Try to keep its brightness as low as possible.• The hand-held is ‘event’ driven – that is, when the unit is not in use, it 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 unit to sleep as much as possible.• The 7535 battery is a ‘smart battery’ with built-in intelligence. The taskbar battery icon is a linear gauge used to estimate the remaining run time of the battery. It is important to note that the battery capacity icon displays quarter percentages of nominal capacity (the capacity of a new battery). An aged battery, even when fully charged, shows somewhat less capacity than nominal. Double-tapping on the battery icon displays a dialogue box that provides detailed information about the battery status and performance. If the remaining capacity indication seems inaccurate, the battery may need recal-ibration. Recalibration requires that the battery be fully charged, discharged and then charged again before use. If the battery is fully discharged and charged on a regular basis, recalibration should not be necessary. • When the hand-held 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 unit is left in suspend state for more than a week – in this case, the battery should be removed.• Batteries left unused for durations of more than one or two months should be fully charged, discharged and then charged again before use. This recali-brates the gas gauge and allows the internal electronics to determine the actual capacity of the battery.• The hand-held can determine when the useful life of the battery has expired and will notify the user. Chargers may reject batteries that have exceeded their lifespan.
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 7530 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 Manual57Chapter3:Getting To Know Your 7530Cleaning The 75303.12.2 Cleaning The 7530Important: 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 to clean the hand-held unit.• Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents or strong chemicals for cleaning. The 7530 has a plastic case that is susceptible to harsh chemicals. The plastic is partially soluble in oils, mineral spirits and gasoline. The plastic slowly decomposes in strong alkaline solutions.• To clean ink marks from the keypad and touchscreen, use isopropyl alcohol.

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.

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 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 119Chapter 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 7535 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 7535 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 7535 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.

If a field requires text entry, a text box is displayed in which you can enter the appropriate value.5.7.2.1 Code 39 SettingsFull AsciiIf this parameter is enabled (set to ‘ON’), 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.Include CheckIf this parameter is enabled (set to ‘ON’), the check digit is included with the decoded bar code data.
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. If the field size is non-zero, only bar codes of that length are passed through.

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

Chapter 6: Tekterm Application<BKSP> Key Behaviour In TESS158Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual6.5.5.3 <BKSP> Key Behaviour In TESSField mode• In a left justified field, the <BKSP> key erases the character directly to the left of the cursor and then moves the cursor one position to the left. When the last character in the field is deleted, the field displays the value that it contained before it was modified, and the field is opened. • In a right justified field, the <BKSP> key erases the character on which the cursor is positioned and shifts the remaining characters to the right by one position. When the last character in the field is deleted, the field displays the value that it contained before it was modified, and the field is opened. • If the <BKSP> key is pressed when the field is empty, the 7535 emits a keyboard error beep.• The <BKSP> key does not delete data pre-filled by the host applica-tion.• If the <BKSP> key is pressed in a field that has not been modified, the 7535 emits a keyboard error beep. • If data is entered into a field and is then deleted before the field is completed, the field remains unmodified when the cursor leaves the field or when the screen is transmitted. Replace mode• In a left justified field, the <BKSP> key erases the character on which the cursor is positioned unless it is one position to the right of the last character in the string; in this case, the <BKSP> key erases the char-acter to the left of the cursor.• In a right justified field, the <BKSP> key erases the character on which the cursor is positioned. The remaining characters are then shifted to the left of the cursor, and the cursor is shifted to the right by one position.• If the <BKSP> key is pressed while the cursor is in the right-most character position of the field, the cursor does not shift to the left when that character is erased; it remains in the right most position in the field.• When the last character in a field is erased, the field remains empty – that is, any pre-filled data is not displayed. Pressing the <BKSP> key in the empty field results in a keyboard error beep.• The <BKSP> key can delete data pre-filled by the host application. • If data is entered in a field and is then deleted before the field is com-pleted, the field remains unmodified when the cursor leaves the field or when the screen is transmitted.

Insert and replace mode are represented as “ins” and “rep” respectively. The number “0.6” indicates the response time of the last transmission in seconds. Press <CTRL> <T> to display the unit number instead of the TESS version number.Insert mode• In a left justified field, the <BKSP> function erases the character on which the cursor is positioned, unless it is at the right end of the char-acter string; in this case, it erases the character to the left of the cursor. When the last character in a field is erased, the field remains empty, and any further <BKSP> functions in the empty field result in a key-board error beep. • In a right justified field, the <BKSP> function erases the character that is to the right of the cursor and then shifts the data remaining to the right one position. • If the <BKSP> key is pressed while the cursor is in the right-most character position of that field, the cursor does not shift to the left when that character is erased; it remains in the right-most position in the field.• When the last character in a field is erased, the field remains empty – i.e. any pre-filled data is not displayed. Pressing the BKSP key in the empty field sounds a keyboard error beep. • The <BKSP> key can delete data pre-filled by the host application. • If data is entered into a field and then deleted before the field is com-pleted, the field remains unmodified when the cursor leaves the field or when the screen is transmitted.Fcursor mode • Refer to “Field Mode” at the beginning of this table. The <BKSP> key operates in exactly the same manner in “Fcursor mode” as it does in “Field mode”.
Chapter 6: Tekterm ApplicationLock Messages160Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual6.5.7 Lock MessagesWhen information is transmitted to the host computer, the keyboard locks to prevent further data entry until the 7535 receives a reply. A locked state isindicated by either “LOCK-B” (base) or “LOCK-H” (host) in the lower left corner of the display.When the reply is received by the 7535, the lock message disappears and the keyboard can be used again.6.5.8 Control CommandsA group of <CTRL> key commands can be used within TESS to dictate how the 7535 will operate under a variety of conditions.• <CTRL> <P> – Reprints the last print page sent from the host. This key combination will not print anything if a print page from the host was not previously received at the 7535 hand-held.• <CTRL> <S> – Displays the 7535 status continuously. Below is a sample status line as it might appear at the bottom of your screen:Lock-B/Lock-H fld enh “application name”• <CTRL> <W> – Displays the 7535 status when the unit is in “Lock B” or “Lock H” mode. The status line would be similar to the sample above.• <CTRL><T> – Displays the 7535 status with the terminal number instead of the name.Lock-B/Lock-H rep “terminal nn”• <CTRL> <H> – Displays a menu of available hosts.6.5.9 Resetting A TESS SessionResetting a TESS session requires that <CTRL> C be pressed three times within a two second period to generate the “RESET – User request” message.• Press and hold down the <CTRL> key, and press the <C> key three times within a two second period.• Press <ENTER>.This procedure restarts the TESS session without affecting the rest of the 7535.
Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 161Chapter 6: Tekterm ApplicationThe Local Menu6.5.10 The Local MenuThe host can store local procedures in the 7530 for use when the unit is off-line. A menu of these procedures appears whenever <CTRL> <L> is pressed (see Figure 6.3).• Press the function key corresponding to the procedure you want to perform. Local procedures will not function when the “Lcl Process” and “Queuing” parameters are disabled (see “Lcl Process – Save on Reset” on page 219 and “Queuing” on page 219).Although using local procedures eliminates the advantages of an on-line 7530, it allows work to continue when the host is unavailable. The “LOCK-B/H” messages are replaced with “NEXT-B/H” in this mode.Figure 6.3 Local Menu6.5.11 Selecting Another Host Computer• Press <CTRL> <H> or <F9> from the local menu to display a menu of available hosts.

Chapter 6: Tekterm ApplicationQueuing Mode162Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual6.5.12 Queuing ModeIn some applications, queuing mode can decrease the computer lock time. In queuing mode, the host computer may send several pages to a 7530 without waiting for a response. These pages are stored in a queue within the 7530 hand-held. The operator completes the entries on the first page and then, presses a function key.The 7530 simultaneously transmits to the host and displays the next page in the queue. The computer does not lock, allowing the operator to enter data on the next page immediately. This continues as long as there are pages in the queue.Queuing mode is used for repetitive tasks, and the queued screens look identical. The 7530 displays a “Next” message indicating that a new page is on the display. “Next” messages also contain information about radio communications: “NEXT-B” indicates that the 7535 has data to transmit to the base station. “NEXT-H” indicates that the base station has acknowledged a transmission. Unlike lock messages, “Next” messages do not lock the keyboard. Keying is allowed while “Next” messages are displayed.While queuing mode may improve apparent response time, it can present difficulties to hosts that are operating in real time. It should only be used after careful consideration of the host environment. The 7530 must be configured for queuing mode (see the “Queuing” parameter on page 219). Additional information on queuing can be found in the TESS (Teklogix Screen Subsystem) Manual.6.6 ANSI EmulationThe Psion Teklogix 7530 in ANSI mode operates like most other ANSI terminals. This means software that supports ANSI terminals requires little or no changes.6.6.1 ConfigurationTo configure the 7530 for ANSI mode, the “Name” and “Type” of session – in this case, ANSI – must be specified in the Applications menu. This menu is described in the section titled, “Applications” on page 194.Next, a unique number must be assigned using the “Terminal #” parameter. This number should be unique across the entire system – that is, each 7530 and each application session in each 7530 across your system must have a unique number assigned. This parameter is described in the section titled “ANSI Settings” on page 195.Once the 7530 is configured, an ANSI operation can be selected from the startup “Display Menu”.
Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual163Chapter 6: Tekterm ApplicationSending Data To The Host6.6.2 Sending Data To The Host7530 hand-helds running ANSI sessions transmit characters to the host as soon as they are typed. The 7530 provides parameters that determine when the computer transmits characters to the host.The 7530 can be configured to transmit after a number of characters are typed in (the “Xmit Count” parameter) or after some time has elapsed (the “Xmit Wait” parameter), or both. This reduces overhead on the radio link and improves response time. See page 202 for more information about these parameters.You can also determine whether the 7530 transmits immediately after the <ENTER> key, an arrow key, or a function key is pressed. The 7530 computer also responds immediately to the device attribute requests “CSIc”, “CSI0c” and “ESCZ”.Note: For a more detailed description of the parameter settings for ANSI, refer to “ANSI Settings” on page 195.6.6.3 Psion Teklogix Keyboard And VT220 Equivalent KeysThe Psion Teklogix keyboard differs from most ANSI terminals.

If “Auto Radio Addr” is set to “N”, the value entered in the “Radio Address” parameter is used. (Refer to "Radio Address" in this section for details about manually assigned radio addresses.) Important: Ensure that all 7530s grouped in the system use the same addressing process – that is, if you choose to use automatic radio addressing, use this addressing process for all units operating in the same system. If you choose to assign radio addresses manually using the “Radio Address” parameter, use this process for all units in the same system.802.11 »03 Radio802.IQ v1 N »04 802.11 DS SSAuto Radio Addr Y Y/NRadio Address 0 1-3840Initial RTT 0 0-1000Protocol Type 2457 1501-65535Range802.IQ v105
Chapter 6: Tekterm ApplicationSystem Parameters180Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User ManualRadio AddressThe value entered in the “Radio address” parameter is used to identify the 7530 over the radio link. A unique value from 1 to 3840 must be assigned for each 7530 hand-held computer.Initial RTT (Round Trip Time)Round trip time is the elapsed time between a hand-held computer transmission and an access point acknowledgement. Each 7535 continuously adjusts the acceptable round trip time, calculating the average elapsed time over a number of transmis-sions. If an acknowledgement takes longer to receive than the average round trip time calculated, the computer will resend the transmission. Because 7530s cannot calculate an average round trip time without a number of transmissions, a starting point or “Initial Round Trip Time” is required. The com-puter uses the time assigned to the “Initial RTT” parameter as a starting value for round trip calculations. Once the 7530 begins transmitting and receiving data, this value will be adjusted to reflect the actual average round trip time between transmis-sions and acknowledgements. Protocol Type“Protocol Type” is used to identify the Ethernet packet frame type sent by the 7530. The default value – 2457 – assigned to this parameter identifies the Teklogix 802.IQ protocol Ethernet packet frame types. The “Protocol Type ID” should only be altered if the default value is already being used to specify another application Ethernet frame type. Important: If you change the value assigned to “Protocol Type ID”, ensure that all 7530s and 9150s in your system use the same number. 6.15 System ParametersKeyboard »Audio »Pwr Mgmt Ctrl Panel »Security »03 System

Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual189Chapter 6: Tekterm ApplicationSplitting And Displaying Screens6.17.1.1 Splitting And Displaying ScreensBefore splitting the screen, you need to determine which applications should appear in each pane of the split screen. The available applications are listed in the main “Display Menu”. Each application listed in the “Display Menu” is preceded by a letter – for example, Parameters is preceded by an A. This letter is used in the “View IDs” string entry field to fix each pane of a split screen to a corresponding application.If you need to display the startup “Display Menu”:• Press <CTRL> <ALT><0>.To split a screen:• With the cursor on the “Type” parameter, use the <RIGHT> or <LEFT> arrow key to scroll through the types of split screens available.The vertical and horizontal lines displayed at the “Type” parameter indicate how the screen will be split – for example, in the sample screen on page 190, the vertical lines indicate the screen will be vertically split into two segments. The screen can also be split horizontally 3 ways or 4 ways.Once you’ve indicated how you want to split the screen in the “Type” parameter:• Use the <DOWN> arrow key to move the cursor to the “View IDs” parameter.• For each application you want to display, type the letter corresponding to the application. For example, suppose you want to split the screen into two vertical segments with the Parameters menu in the left pane of the screen and a TESS session in the right pane. In the “Display Menu”, the letter A represents “Parameters” and B represents “TESS”. The “Type” and “View ID” values would be represented as follows:• Press <ENTER>.To display the split screen on the 7535:• Press <CTRL> <DOWN> arrow.Type 2 Way |||View IDs AB04 Split screen

However, some applications require that the <ENTER> key start a transmission from the 7530. When enabled (set to “Y”), this parameter causes the <ENTER> key to start a transmission.InsertWhen this parameter is disabled (set to “N”), it behaves in “replace” mode – a character entered at the keyboard or received from the host replaces the character at the cursor position. The cursor then advances one character position. When enabled (set to “Y”), the character entered at the keyboard or received from the host is inserted at the cursor position after shifting the characters at and following the cursor forward one position. The cursor is advanced one position. The extent of the characters affected by the shift depends on the setting of the “Edit Extent” parameter (see page 209). NewlineWhen this parameter is disabled (set to “N”), an LF character received from the host causes the cursor to move down one line in the same column. In addition, the <ENTER> key transmits a CR. When enabled (set to “Y”), an LF character received from the host causes the cursor to move to the first column of the next line. The <ENTER> key transmits both a CR and an LF.Disable kbdSetting this parameter to “Y” disables the keyboard and scanner. When this parameter is set to “N”, the keyboard and scanner are enabled.

Keep in mind that Error and Scan beeps are not disabled.
Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual221Chapter 6: Tekterm ApplicationFeaturesSerialSerial PortTESS print commands control the transfer of data to and from the serial and printer ports on the 7530. At the 7530 computer, the value assigned at the ‘Serial Port’ parameter ranks which port the TESS print command will identify and use as the first to fourth port. The allowable options are: Any Available, 1st Serial, 2nd Serial, 3rd Serial, 4th Serial and Disabled.Serial OutThis parameter enables serial port output fields.Serial InThis parameter enables the serial port input fields. If enabled (set to “Y”), the TESS application has exclusive use of the serial port. Acceptance of data in a SI field is determined by the SI prefix and suffix.SI modeThe possible values for this parameter are field (the default) and command. When the SI mode is set to field, data received through the serial port is displayed in the serial input fields. If you are using serial-input fields, make sure the “SI mode” parameter is set to field.When “SI mode” is set to command, data received by the serial port is transmitted as Passthrough data to the host.Note: “Command” mode is supported by SDKs but not by emulations.Serial Port Any Available see textSerial Out Y Y/NSerial In N Y/NSI mode see textSI prefix 10 0..255SI suffix 13 0..255SI CRC N Y/NSI Fkey 0 0..255SO prefix 10 0..255SO suffix 13 0..255SO CRC N Y/N06 Serial Range

The modes are: insert, replace, field and fcursor. “TESS Edit Modes And Cursor Movement” on page 156 describes these modes in detail.Open Fky OnlyWhen this parameter is enabled (set to “Y”), the screen is open for function keys only, and the cursor is not positioned. When this parameter is disabled, the screen is open for data entry, and the cursor is placed in the first field (if it exists).Ign Bcode_fldWhen this parameter is enabled (set to “Y”), fields that were defined as “bar code only” accept data from the keyboard as well as the bar code reader. In effect, they behave as data entry fields.Enh Edit ModeThis mode provides extended (enhanced) functions to users of Psion Teklogix’ IBM 5250 terminal emulation. When this parameter is enabled (set to “Y”), the arrow keys move the cursor anywhere on the screen, unrestricted by fixed or entry fields. Certain 5250 emulation keys (e.g. Field Exit) that were originally available only when “Enh Edit Mode” was set to “Y” are now active at all times in TESS applications. Refer to “IBM 5250 Emulation Keys” on page 155 for details about these keys.Valid NumericsThis parameter is used to configure valid characters for numeric fields to a maximum of 39 characters. Since this field is numeric, numbers 0 through 9 do not need to be configured. The default values for this parameter are: + - % / . , $.

A value of 0 (zero) disables this feature.Serial IO CharacterSerial I/O fields are special entry and fixed fields that accept input from and output to a serial port. The application program distinguishes this field as Serial I/O by preceding the field with a special character. If this character precedes a fixed field, the data will be sent to the 7530’s serial port. If it precedes an entry field, the field accepts data from the 7530’s serial port.This parameter allows you to enter a decimal representation of the ASCII character code of this special character. A value of 0 (zero) disables this feature.Fixed Field OvrhdThis parameter defines the maximum number of characters allowed within two adjacent, fixed fields that can be sent as a single field. For example, if two fields are 4 characters apart and this parameter is set to 5, these fields are joined into a single field of data. The allowable range for this field is 0 to 80. This feature affects fields with the “Normal” display attribute only.Enable AlarmIf this parameter is set to ‘Y’, the 7530 emits a beep when the word ALARM appears on the application screen, in the location specified by the “Command Region” parameter.Command Region Up & Down And Command Region Left & RightThe value assigned to the ‘Command Region Up’ and ‘Command Region Down’ parameters represent rows on the 7530 screen.

Chapter 6: Tekterm ApplicationScan-See Sub-Menu – Mapping The Viewport240 Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User ManualThe Scan-See display is mapped to a specific area on the 7535 screen – called the viewport – and is continuously updated to reflect that portion of the screen. The Scan-See viewport is defined as follows:Anchor Line/Anchor ColumnA location on the Scan-See display – the anchor – is chosen as a reference point. Line Offset/Column OffsetA predefined displacement – the offset – is added to the location of the 7535 cursor to create a point – the pivot. This pivot is mapped to the anchor, and whatever is displayed in its vicinity is also displayed on the Scan-See.For example:• the anchor is chosen as (9,0) whereas “9” is the column and “0” is the line (on the Scan-See display)• the offset is chosen as (4,2)• the cursor on the 7535 is currently located at (7,5)• the pivot would thus be located at (7+4, 5+2) or (11,7)• and so the area displayed on the Scan-See will be: (11–9,7–0) to (11–9+9,7–0+1) or (2,7) to (11,8). 1 1These computations assume that “Wraparound” (described on page 242) is disabled (set to “N”) and that “Follow Cursor” (described on page 242) is enabled (set to “Y”).

Chapter 6: Tekterm ApplicationScan-See Sub-Menu – Mapping The Viewport242Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User ManualFollow CursorWhen the “Follow Cursor” parameter is disabled (set to “N”), the cursor is always assumed to be located at the origin. Using the previous example:•the area displayed will be (4–9,2–0) to (4–9+9, 2–0+1), or, after clipping values that are negative or higher than 80: (0,2) to (4,3).WraparoundWhen “Wraparound” is enabled (set to “Y”), the Scan-See display is treated as a one-line by 20 column display, rather than 2 lines by 10 columns.PanningIf “Panning” is disabled (set to “N”), the Scan-See viewport does not move when the cursor moves one position to the right, and the pivot is still inside the Scan-See display. However, the Scan-See display is updated to reflect the changes within that viewport. If the pivot goes outside the viewport, or if the 7535 display changes without the cursor being moved, the viewport is re-synchronized to coincide the pivot with the anchor.Line ScrollingWhen “Line Scrolling” is enabled (set to “Y”), the Scan-See display is treated as two separate one line by 10 column displays. The top line always displays the previous value of the bottom line. In an application where the cursor skips from one entry field to another, the field that the cursor just entered is displayed on the top line, and the next field is displayed at the bottom. Note: When this feature is enabled (set to “Y”), the “Panning” option should be disabled to prevent updates to both lines after every keystroke BrightnessThe “Brightness” parameter controls the backlight brightness of the display. It only has an effect on Model 7000 Scan-Sees – scanners equipped with LED (light emitting diode) displays.

Each 7530 continuously adjusts the acceptable round trip time, calculating the average elapsed time over a number of transmissions. If an acknowledgement takes longer to receive than the average round trip time calculated, the 7530 will resend the transmission. Because 7530s cannot calculate an average round trip time without a number of transmissions, a starting point or “Initial Round Trip Time” is required. The 7530 uses the time assigned to the “Initial RTT” parameter as a starting value for round trip calculations. Once the 7530 begins transmitting and receiving data, this value will be adjusted to reflect the actual average round trip time between transmissions and acknowledgements.

This USB converter appears as a USB slave to the 7530 USB host controller. The 7530 automatically detects insertion into a combo dock and loads the appropriate drivers to communicate with the USB/Ethernet converter.See “Network Addressing” on page 263 for details about network addressing issues with the combo dock.
Chapter 7: Peripheral Devices & AccessoriesTroubleshooting262Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual7.7.4 TroubleshootingTroubleshooting issues for the combo dock are identical to those of the quad dock. Refer to “Troubleshooting” on page 264 for helpful tips.7.8 Quad DockNote: The quad dock is shipped with a user manual. It is critical that this man-ual be reviewed for additional information and updates.The Quad Dock permits each of four docked 7530 hand-helds to communicate with a 10/100 BaseT Ethernet network at greater than 2Mbps. It also provides sufficient power to operate and fast charge the batteries in the 7530s. 7.8.1 InstallationThe quad dock should be located away from excessive dirt, dust and contaminants. The ambient temperature must fall between 0˚ C to 39 ˚C (32˚ F to 102˚ F). The 7535 internal charger will not charge batteries outside of this temperature range. For maximum performance, it is recommended that the quad dock be operated at room temperature – from 18˚ C to 25˚ C (64˚ F to 77˚ F).The quad dock can consume up to 3A @ 120VAC or 1.5A @ 240VAC. Ensure that the mains circuit supplying the unit is adequate, especially if several docks are being powered from the same circuit. After unpacking the unit:•Visually inspect the unit for any damage. •Install the IEC power cord and apply power. A green indicator in the lower-right corner of the front panel lights up to indicate that power is present. •Attach a CAT5 RJ45 network patch cable (supplied) between your network and the RJ45 jack on the rear of the dock. A green LED is illuminated next to the RJ45 connector when a valid network link is established.A user application must be loaded onto each 7530 that utilizes the quad dock for communication. When the network is connected and this application is loaded, the quad dock is ready for use.
Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual263Chapter 7: Peripheral Devices & AccessoriesIndicators And Controls7.8.2 Indicators And ControlsThe quad dock has no user controls. It is equipped with a power indicator LED and RJ45 link and traffic indicator LEDs. When a valid network link is established, a green LED is illuminated next to the RJ45 connector.7.8.3 Using The Quad Dock•Gently slide the 7535 into the cradle portion of the quad dock until lightly latched. The 7535 detects that it is in a quad dock and displays the appropriate icon in the taskbar – . The battery charge LED on the 7535 lights up to show it has external power and may start charging the battery.Interaction with the 7535 while in the quad dock is a function of the user application software used to communicate with the host network.7.8.4 Network AccessThe quad dock includes a four port 10/100 Ethernet hub. Each of the four downstream ports are connected to dedicated USB-to-Ethernet converters. These USB converters appear as USB slaves to the 7530 USB host controller. The 7530 automatically detects insertion into a quad dock and loads the appropriate drivers to communicate with the USB/Ethernet converters.7.8.4.1 Network AddressingAlthough the USB converters have fixed Ethernet MAC addresses, there is generally no correlation between these addresses and a specific 7530 hand-held. The host application uses standard TCP/IP protocol to name, locate and communicate with a specific 7530 on the network. If a link is established between a 7530 and a host, the application on the host and on the 7530 must have a recovery mechanism in the event that the 7530 is removed from the dock and the link is interrupted.7.8.5 Battery ChargingThe quad dock supplies DC power to enable the 7530 internal fast charger. Charge status is displayed on the 7530 charge LED (see “Charge LED” on page 43). Battery charging continues whether the 7530 is switched on or off.Normally, it takes between 1.5 and 4 hours to fully charge the 7530 internal battery.
Chapter 7: Peripheral Devices & AccessoriesTroubleshooting264Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual7.8.6 TroubleshootingThe indicators, applications and drivers required to use and monitor the docking station are installed on the 7530 – no indicators or applications are present on the docking station itself.7.8.6.1 Network Link UnsuccessfulIf a network link fails, the 7530 application alerts the operator that the link was unsuccessful.7.8.6.2 7535 LED Does Not Light When Docked•Check that the quad dock has power – is the Power LED on the quad dock illuminated?• Try inserting the 7530 in another slot in the quad dock.•Check for dirt or contamination on the docking contacts at the bottom of the 7530. Wipe the contacts with a damp cloth if necessary. •Check the pogo pins inside the dock cradle for dirt. Gently wipe with a damp cloth if they appear to be dirty or discoloured.•Check that the pogo pins are not bent or damaged.• Remove and reinsert the 7530 in the cradle, and check that the latch is holding the unit in place (the pogo pins must be compressed for proper contact).• Make certain that the battery installed in the 7530 is defective.7.9 Portable Docking Module (PDM)Warning: The mains power cord for the DC adapter shall comply with national safety regulations of the country where the equipment is to be sold.The Portable Docking Module (PDM) clips onto the base of the 7530 and is most often used to charge the 7530 battery when a desktop charger is not convenient. The PDM also offers additional communication ports, making it useful for upgrading software in the 7530 from a USB-equipped laptop computer. Figure 7.2 on page 267 illustrates the connectors on the PDM.
Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual265Chapter 7: Peripheral Devices & AccessoriesPortable Docking Module (PDM)• Align the pins on the PDM with the connectors on the base of the 7530.•Gently snap the PDM into place on the base of the unit. Figure 7.1 on page 266 provides a visual representation of how to secure the PDM.Note: The latching mechanism on the PDM is designed for quick installation and release. It is not meant for heavy duty use.Psion Teklogix recommends using a powered cradle or combo charger in harsh environments.BEFORE DETACHING THE PDM FROM THE 7530, it is critical that you carry out the following instructions:•Unplug any external USB devices (mouse, etc.) from the PDM, or •Turn off the 7535 hand-held before removing the PDM.Warning: USB devices that are left attached to a PDM at the time that the PDM is detached from the hand-held can be irreparably damaged (burned out).

A cigarette lighter adaptor (PN HU3012) is also available to connect the PDM to a 12 VDC vehicle’s power. Use only the recommended adaptor with the PDM – it includes transient suppressors that protect your 7530 from damage.The PDM contains reverse polarity and over voltage protection. If the DC power jack is wired backwards or exceeds 20VDC, the PDM shuts down to protect the 7535, the PDM and the power supply from damage. Psion Teklogix does not recommend substituting the DC power supply provided with your PDM.The DC power supplied by the PDM is sufficient to operate the 7530 and fast charge its internal battery at the same time. The 7530 can run from a PDM without a battery installed.Type B USB DeviceRS232 Serial PortType A USB Host15 VDC Power Jack
Chapter 7: Peripheral Devices & AccessoriesBluetooth Peripherals268Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual7.10 Bluetooth PeripheralsIf the 7530 is equipped with a Bluetooth radio, it is possible to communicate with a variety of Bluetooth peripherals, including GSM/GPRS handsets, scanners, printers, and so on. The range of the Bluetooth radio in the 7530 is limited to approximately 2 meters.Psion Teklogix provides built-in support for the Bluetooth peripherals listed below.•GSM/GPRS tri-band universal handset•Bluetooth printerKeep in mind that Bluetooth and IEEE 802.11b radios both operate in the 2.4GHz band. Although the 7530 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 7530 at the same time, they cannot transmit simultaneously – this has a negative impact on overall system throughput. To minimize the impact on the backbone 802.11b network, Psion Teklogix recommends using Bluetooth peripherals that have low transaction rates (such as printers and scanners).Bluetooth peripherals are configured using the Bluetooth control panel applet. Refer to “Bluetooth Setup” on page 106 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 associate with the 7530 host.7.11 The 7530 Picker CradleThe 7530 picker cradle is a highly ruggedized, single station dock. Although it provides quick insertion and removal, the cradle holds the 7530 securely even when operated in high vibration environments (such as vehicles not equipped with suspensions). The7530 base picker cradle can be outfitted with two options – a power module and a port replicator. Psion Teklogix also supplies a range of standard mounts for the hand-held picker cradles, and the 7530 picker cradle is compatible with all of them.
Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual269Chapter 7: Peripheral Devices & AccessoriesPicker Cradle Mounting Recommendations7.11.1 Picker Cradle Mounting RecommendationsWarning: Before mounting a picker cradle in a vehicle, there are a number of operator safety issues that require careful attention. An improp-erly mounted cradle may result in one or more of the following: operator injury, operator visibility obstruction, operator distraction and/or poor ease of egress for the operator. Psion Teklogix strongly recommends that you seek professional mounting advice from the vehicle manufacturer. Cable routing within a vehicle cab also requires careful consider-ation, especially for separately tethered scanners and other devices with loose cables. If you are unable to obtain suitable advice, contact Psion Teklogix for assistance (see Appendix A: Support Services And Worldwide Offices). Note also that for better protec-tion, the equipment should be mounted inside the vehicle roll cage.Pedestal mounts are recommended for all fixed mount locations because they offer optimal operator access. In addition, for safety reasons, only pedestal mounts with fully locking joints should be used in vehicles. Always adjust the pedestal for the optimum viewing angle, and securely tighten the hex and wing screws.The most effective way to mount the picker cradle is to use the four #8-32 threaded inserts on the rear of the unit. Bolts must not extend more than 10mm (3/8") into the cradle.To accommodate the service loop of the connector cable, leave a 4" clearance at the bottom of the cradle. Leave a 7" (minimum) clearance at the top of the cradle to allow easy removal of the hand-held. Also remember to leave at least a 3" clearance at the sides of the cradle to allow activation of the release knobs. Refer to the detailed assembly instructions that are packaged with the cradle when selecting a mounting location.7.11.1.1 Mounting TemplateThe picker cradle is shipped with detailed mounting instructions including a drill template.
Chapter 7: Peripheral Devices & AccessoriesWiring Guidelines270Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual7.11.2 Wiring GuidelinesBefore installing the cables between the cradle and other devices, considerthe following:•Ensure that drilling holes will not damage the vehicle or its wiring.•Protect cable runs from pinching, overheating and physical damage.•Use grommets to protect cables that pass through metal.•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.7.11.3 Using The Picker CradleIf your 7535 is equipped with a shoulder strap or cover, these accessories need to be removed before installing the unit in a picker cradle. There is no need to remove handstraps, pistol grips or tethered devices from the unit.• Slide the 7530 into the cradle, and press firmly downward until it locks into place. On a vehicle, it’s a good idea to pull up on the 7535 to be certain that it is secure.• To remove the 7530, press firmly on one of the knobs on either side of the cradle until it releases. You do not need to press both knobs.7.11.4 Maintaining The Picker CradleTwo latches in the cradle hold the 7530 firmly in place. Although these latches are designed for at least 80,000 cycles, they will wear over time and will no longer lock the 7530 securely in the cradle. For replacement parts and instructions contact Psion Teklogix (see Appendix A: Support Services And Worldwide Offices). Partial disassembly is required.
Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual271Chapter 7: Peripheral Devices & AccessoriesPowered Cradle Installation In High Voltage Vehicles7.11.5 Powered Cradle Installation In High Voltage VehiclesWarning: Voltages exceeding 60VDC are considered hazardous. For powered cradle installations on vehicles with batteries above this voltage, ensure the powered cradle power connector is mounted in a dry location on the vehicle, or that the connector is insulated with an appropriate waterproof material after installation. The connector must also be installed out of the vehicle operator’s reach. Exposing an accessible power connector to water or other liquids could create a hazardous situation resulting in serious injury or death.Installation of powered cradles in vehicles that operate above 60VDC require special consideration.Due to the hazardous voltages present on these vehicles, it is necessary to ensure that the powered cradle power supply cable connector is not accessible to the vehicle operator, and does not get exposed to water or other liquids. This can be accomplished in one of the following ways:•Ensure the power connector is installed in a dry location on the vehicle, away from the vehicle operator’s reach (perhaps under a vehicle dash or in a sealed housing).•Cover the power connector with a waterproof heat shrink material (see “Extreme Wet Environments” note below for additional details).•Wrap the connector securely with a waterproof electrical tape in an area out of the vehicle operators reach.All other installation requirements outlined in this document should also be followed for High Voltage vehicles to insure safe installation and operation of the powered cradle.7.11.5.1 Extreme Wet EnvironmentsFor extreme wet environments, or environments where it is difficult to restrict vehicle operator access to the power connector, Psion Teklogix offers a waterproof heat shrink kit (PN 1030022). The kit contains 3 pieces of waterproof, high shrink ratio heat shrink tubing which can be used to encapsulate the entire connector assembly. If using this kit, please ensure that you order sufficient material to cover installation and service, remembering that heat shrink is one-time use, and must be replaced if it is removed from the connector for any reason.
Chapter 7: Peripheral Devices & AccessoriesPowered Cradle Installation272Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual7.11.6 Powered Cradle InstallationThe powered cradle option is designed to allow the 7530 to be powered by a vehicle battery. The battery installed in the 7530 is also recharged by the vehicle battery. This option accepts DC power sources over the range 12V to 80V. The 7530 picker cradle can be ordered with the powered cradle option installed, or it can be retrofitted later at an authorized Psion Teklogix service depot. Service offices are listed in Appendix A: Support Services And Worldwide Offices.The 7530 charging LED (see Section 3.6.1.1 on page 43) indicates that external power is available, and it also indicates the charging status of the internal battery.Warning: Applying a voltage above 90VDC or reversing polarity may result in permanent damage to the cradle power option and will void the product warranty.Warning: TO AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCK when the powered cradle option is installed, always ensure that the rear panel ground lug on the picker cradle is connected to the vehicle chassis. Failure to do this could result in serious injury or death.The metal chassis of the picker cradle must be connected directly to the chassis of the vehicle. A safety ground lug (clearly labelled on the rear of the cradle chassis) is provided for this purpose. The grounding strap must connect from the ground stud on the picker cradle to a solid, reliable contact point on the main portion of the vehicle chassis. It must not be connected to battery negative or a terminal block. This grounding strap ensures that if there is a fault in the vehicle wiring or in the picker cradle power module, the picker cradle cannot be at a hazardous voltage with respect to the vehicle chassis.Connection between the picker cradle ground lug and the vehicle chassis should be done with a 16 gauge ground strap (ground wire). Connect the ground strap to the picker cradle utilizing the ground lug hardware supplied with the picker cradle and a #10 heavy duty wire crimp ring terminal. Torque the ground lug hardware to 23.0 +/- 2.0 in-lbs. Connect the other end of the ground strap to a solid, reliable point on the main portion of the vehicle chassis, ensuring a solid electrical connection.As with other vehicle cables, the routing of the ground strap should be carefully considered to ensure it does not pose a hazard to the operator or the safe operation of the vehicle. If necessary, secure the ground strap with cable ties or some other mechanical means to prevent loops or loose lengths of wire that could catch on stationary items when the vehicle is in motion.
Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual273Chapter 7: Peripheral Devices & AccessoriesWiring Vehicle Power To The Cradle7.11.6.1 Wiring Vehicle Power To The CradleA 1.8 meter (6 foot) extension power cable (PN 13985) is supplied with your power cradle. This cable should be wired to a filtered, fused (maximum 10A) accessory supply on the vehicle. The power cradle draws no more than 8A (less if the accessory supply is greater than 12V). Any additional wiring, connectors or disconnects used should be rated for at least 10A. The red lead of the power cable attaches to the positive vehicle supply. The black lead connects to the negative supply – this should be connected to a proper terminal block and not to the vehicle body. The power cradle is fully isolated and can be used with both negative and positive chassis vehicles.You may have the option of connecting power before or after the ‘key’ switch. It is preferable to wire the power cradle after the key switch – that is, it cannot be turned on without the key on. However, if the operator switches the key off repeatedly for long periods during a shift, it may make more sense to wire the cradle before the switch.Keep in mind that the 7530 will continue to operate with or without vehicle power as long as its battery has sufficient charge.If an unfused power source must be used, a fuse assembly (PN 19440) must be added to the extension power cable (the fuse and instructions are supplied with the cable). Use only a 10A slow blow UL approved fuse in the fuse assembly.
Chapter 7: Peripheral Devices & AccessoriesThe Port Replicator274Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual7.11.7 The Port ReplicatorThe port replicator is an optional accessory that allows tethered devices (e.g., scanners) as well as mounted peripherals (e.g., bar code printers or weigh scales) to be attached to the picker cradle. The replicator can be used with or without the cradle power option.The functionality of the 7535 tether port is duplicated on the port replicator. In addition to the tether port, the replicator is equipped with a standard 9 pin RS232D serial interface. This interface is typically used for fixed peripherals such as printers. Your serial device likely includes a suitable cable connector for this port.Note: The 7530 picker cradle can be ordered with the port replicator option installed, or it can be retrofitted later by an authorized Psion Teklogix service depot. Service offices are listed in Appendix A: Support Services And Worldwide Offices.

Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User ManualC-1APPENDIX CCUSB SETUP APPLICATIONC.1 USB SetupThe USB Setup application (PN 1000997) is used to update a Windows PC so that it can connect to a Psion Teklogix 7530.System Requirements•Windows® 2000 or XP•ActiveSync 3.1 or laterThe two driver classes that control USB communication are usbstor (for commu-nication with a device running BooSt) and wceusbsh (for communication through ActiveSync with a device running Windows CE). These drivers must be updated with 7530-specific information so that the 7530 can be recognized by your PC. The install program:•updates copies of the device installation scripts usbstor.inf and wceusbsh.inf with Psion Teklogix-specific information,• sets up a USB connection between the PC and the 7530, and • installs the 7530 as a device on your PC. This may require notifying the PC OS that the device should be reinstalled and then reconnecting the USB device.C.1.1 Launching The ApplicationThe log file is initialized and the program introduction is written to it.

Welcome Dialogue Box:You can click on the <Back> and <Next> buttons to navigate between the pre-install windows. At any time during the pre-installation process, you can tap on <Cancel> to exit the program.•Shut down all other software programs – especially ActiveSync – to avoid a restart request during installation.•Tap on the <Next> button.The program checks that ActiveSync is installed and that it is a supported version – 3.1 or later. If the version installed on your PC is not supported, you’ll need to exit the USB Setup application, and install a later version of ActiveSync.2. Device Driver INF File Selection Dialogue Box:This dialogue box allows you to choose the paths of the appropriate inf files. Default file paths are provided in this dialogue box.

Device Driver Install Selection Dialogue Box:You can choose to have the device drivers installed immediately by selecting the check box (√), or you can leave the check box blank and Windows will install the 7530 the next time it is connected. It is recom-mended that the device be installed immediately.•Select the drivers you want to update – wceusbsh and usbstor.•Tap on the <Next> button.Note: None of the drivers are updated by default. To complete the process, you must establish USB connections.4. Device Driver Backup Selection Dialogue Box:The USB Setup application will attempt to back up the driver .sys files before attempting the installation. It specifies which files it will try to back up and the location to which it will back them up.Note: Both drivers are selected for backup by default. The backup directory is <system directory>\drivers\ptxBackup.

Install Dialogue Box:The .sys files you selected are copied to the backup directory. If an unknown error occurs during the backup, you are asked whether you’d prefer to cancel the install or continue with the process. The wceusbsh.inf and usbstor.inf files are updated.2. If you indicated that the wceusbsh driver should be installed, the Install dialogue box appears again. The USB Setup application will attempt to install the drivers immediately. This will succeed only if a valid USB connection to the device that is running Windows CE exists.•If the install fails due to an unknown error, the install for this particular driver is aborted.•If the install fails because there was an inappropriate USB connection, there are two possibilities:•An appropriate USB connection was never established between the PC and the 7530 running Windows CE. In this case, when an appropriate USB connection with this device exists, Windows will automatically attempt to install the device driver.•An appropriate USB connection exists between the PC and the 7535 running Windows CE, but it has since been severed. Windows may or may not attempt to automatically install the device drivers on the next appropriate USB connection. •A window is displayed where you can tap on <Cancel> to abort the wceusbsh driver installation and continue. It also contains instructions to boot your device into Windows CE and establish a USB connection between the device and the PC. When you create the appropriate connec-tion, Windows automatically installs the device drivers. The ‘Found New Hardware’ wizard may appear. Your only interaction with this window is to click on the <Finish> button.•If this is the first appropriate connect between the device and the PC – i.e., there was no previous devnode for the device in the system – the <Continue> button is activated as soon as the connection is made. Where there was a devnode present in the system and it has been marked for rein-stall, the <Continue> button will not become active until Windows has

Only one devnode per device can be ‘unset’ when the device drivers are finally installed.3. If you indicated that the usbstor driver should be installed, the same steps as described above are carried out for usbstor except that the 7530 must be running BooSt. (Press and hold down the <SCAN> <BLUE> <ENTER> keys for a minimum of 6 seconds to launch the BooSt program.) Keep in mind that a device running BooSt has a dif-ferent hardware ID than when it is running Windows CE.C.1.4 Post Installation1.
