Preparing The 7530 For Operation
2.1 Preparing The 7530 For Operation
Typically, 7530 hand-helds are configured at the factory and arrive ready for use.
Although the 7530 is equipped with an internal Compact Flash and SD I/O slot,
these slots are not intended for user modification. If a device needs to be changed or
added in these slots, contact qualified Psion Teklogix personnel. Refer to
Appendix A: Support Services And Worldwide Offices for the service number
closest to you.
2.1.1 Equipment You Need To Get Started
You’ll need:
• A 7530 compatible battery charger, docking station or portable docking
module (PDM) with power supply.
• An operating wireless network (if you are not operating the equipment in
batch mode).
• A medium Phillips head screwdriver.
2.1.2 Charging The Battery
Important: The 7530 uses a high capacity Lithium-Ion battery. It is critical
that you review the battery safety guidelines in “Lithium-Ion
Battery Safety Precautions” on page 252 before charging the
battery.
Batteries shipped from the factory are not charged. They must be fully charged prior
to use. Full capacity may not be reached until at least 5 full charge/discharge cycles
have been performed.
7530 batteries can be charged using a gang charger or the 7535 internal charger.
When using the internal charger, a suitable power source is required. All chargers
and docking stations are described in Chapter 7: Peripheral Devices & Accessories
beginning on page 254.
2.1.3 Attaching Carrying Accessories
Psion Teklogix recommends that a carrying accessory – a hand strap, pistol grip or
shoulder strap – be installed on the 7530 before use.
If your hand-held is not fitted with a hand strap or pistol grip, you can install either
using the carrying accessory kit supplied. You’ll need:
• A Phillips head screwdriver.

Authentication
802.11 supports two subtypes of network authentication services: Open
and 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

Chapter3:Getting To Know Your 7530
Switching The 7530 Hand-Held On And Off
34Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual
• Combo Docking Station (Model #HU4002) – operates as both a charger
and a docking station. Operating as a charger, both the battery installed in
the computer and a spare battery can be charged simultaneously.
• Quad Docking Station (Model #HU4004) – can charge the battery of up to
four 7530s inserted in the docking station while transferring data through an
Ethernet connection.
• Powered Cradle (Model #HU1000, HU1010) – can charge the 7530 with
the battery installed in the hand-held.
It can take from 1.5 to 4 hours to charge a battery. The 7535’s intelligent charging
system protects the battery from over-charging by terminating the charge process
when the battery is at maximum capacity.
Note: Refer to “Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time” on page 53
for additional information about the 7530 battery.
Important: To avoid damaging the battery, chargers will not begin the charge
process until the battery temperature is between 0˚C (32˚F) and
39˚C (102˚F). If the battery is too hot or cold, the battery status
LED flashes yellow and the charge is suspended. Refer to
Table 3.1, “Charge LEDs” on page 43 for details.

Chapter3:Getting To Know Your 7530
The Keyboard
Switching Off The 7530
Important: 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 Keyboard
The 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 Keys
The <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 7530
Activating Modifier Keys
36Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual
The <SHIFT>, <CTRL> and <ALT> keys operate much like a desktop keyboard
except that they are not chorded (two keys held down simultaneously). The modifier
key must be pressed first followed by the key whose function you want modified.
3.4.1.1 Activating Modifier Keys
When 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 Keys
When 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 Keys
The <SHIFT> Key
The <SHIFT> key is used to display uppercase alpha characters and provide access
to the symbols above the numeric keys.
The Arrow Keys
The 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 Manual37
Chapter3:Getting To Know Your 7530
The 58-Key Keyboard
The <BKSP/DEL> Key
The <BKSP> key (sometimes referred to as destructive backspace) moves the
cursor one character to the left, erasing the incorrectly entered key stroke.
The <DEL> key (<BLUE> <BKSP>) erases the character at the cursor position.
The <CTRL> And <ALT> Key
The <CTRL> and <ALT> keys modify the function of the next key pressed and are
application dependent.
The <TAB> Key
Typically, the <TAB> key moves the cursor to the next field to the right or
downward.
The <ESC> Key
Generally, this key is used as a keyboard shortcut to close the current menu,
dialogue box or activity and return to the previous one.
The <SPACE> Key
Pressing this key inserts a blank space between characters. In a Windows dialogue
box, pressing the <SPACE> key enables (√) or disables a checkbox.
The <SCAN> Key
Pressing 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 Keyboard
In 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 7530
The 36-Key Keyboard
38Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual
3.4.4 The 36-Key Keyboard
On 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 Character
Note: 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’:

Choosing More Than One Alpha Character From The Same Key
If 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 Keys
If 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.

3.7 Internal Scanners
Important: For detailed scanner specifications and decode zone tables, refer
to “Internal Scanner Specifications” beginning on page 281.
The scanner installed in your unit can be configured using the Scanner Properties
dialogue box in the Control Panel.
The 7535 can be equipped with a:
• One dimensional (1D) internal laser scanner,
• Internal PDF laser scanner, or a
• Two dimensional (2D) internal imager scanner.
It is critical that you review the warnings listed in “Laser Warnings” on page xvi in
the Approvals and Safety section at the beginning of this manual before using any of
the scanners described in this chapter. “Scanning Techniques” outlines the
mechanics of a successful scan. 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 Manual49
Chapter3:Getting To Know Your 7530
Scanning Techniques
3.7.1 Scanning Techniques
Note: 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 Indicators
The 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 7530
Troubleshooting
50Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual
3.7.3 Troubleshooting
If 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 Manual51
Chapter3:Getting To Know Your 7530
Operating Internal PDF Laser Scanners
3.7.5 Operating Internal PDF Laser Scanners
This 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 Scanners
An 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.

Connecting & Disconnecting Tethered Peripherals
52Psion 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 Peripherals
Tethered 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

Chapter3:Getting To Know Your 7530
Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time
To 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 Cable
Important: 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 Time
Under 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 7530
Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time
54Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual
To 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 Manual55
Chapter3:Getting To Know Your 7530
Storing Batteries
3.9.1 Storing Batteries
Long term battery storage is not recommended. If storage is necessary:
• Always try to use a ‘first-in first-out’ approach to minimize storage time.
• Lithium-Ion batteries age much faster at elevated temperatures. Store 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 Connection
If 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.

Uploading Data In A Docking Station
56Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual
3.11 Uploading Data In A Docking Station
The 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 Maintenance
3.12.1 Caring For The Touchscreen
The top of the touchscreen is a thin, flexible polyester plastic sheet with a
conductive coating on the inside. The polyester can be permanently damaged by
harsh chemicals and is susceptible to abrasions and scratches. Using sharp objects
on the touchscreen can scratch or cut the plastic, or crack the internal conductive
coating.
The chemicals listed below must not come into contact with the touchscreen:
• 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.

Cleaning The 7530
3.12.2 Cleaning The 7530
Important: 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.

Navigating In Windows CE And Applications
4.1 Navigating In Windows CE And Applications
Graphic 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 Stylus
Note: 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.

Switch State To Suspend
Important: Psion Teklogix recommends setting the Suspend value to 10 min-
utes. 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 7535 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.

Display Parameters
Scan Result
When 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.

Chapter 5: Configuration
Scanner Options
Scan Indicator
When 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 Beep
This 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 File
If this parameter is enabled, the input barcode and the modified/translated output bar
code are logged in the file \Flash Disk\ScanLog.txt. Keep in mind that if the ‘Scan
Log File’ is enabled, there is a slight performance effect when performing multiple
scans since the log file is written to persistent storage.
Double Click Parameters
Click Time (msec)
This parameter controls the maximum gap time (in milliseconds) for a double-click.
If the time between the first and second clicks of the scanner trigger is within this
time, it is considered a double-click. The allowable range is 0 to 1000. A value of
zero disables this feature.
A double-click produces different results depending on whether or not a value is
assigned in the “Click Data” parameter. When a value is not assigned for the “Click
Data”, double-clicking the scanner trigger overrides the target dot delay set in the
“Dot Time” parameter and initiates a normal scan sweep. If a value is assigned for
the “Click Data” parameter, double-clicking the scanner trigger inserts the “Click
Data” value rather than initiating a scan.

Click Data
For both integrated and external scanners, this parameter determines which
character is sent to the application installed in your 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.
Options
Dot Time (msec)
The value selected for “Dot Time (msec)” determines (in milliseconds) how long the
targeting dot remains on before the scanner switches to a normal scan sweep. 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 Code
When 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.
Verify
The 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.
Security
This 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.

AIAG Strip
If 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 Accept
If 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

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) Setup
134Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual
5.8 SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) Setup
Simple 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).

view. Normally, the Arrow keys move the cursor around the screen in the direction
of the arrow pressed. However, if the 7535 is operating in View mode, the <LEFT>,
<RIGHT>, <UP> and <DOWN> arrow keys pan the entire content of the screen
rather than the cursor.
• Press <CTRL> <ALT> <V> to place the 7535 in View mode. An onscreen
message – View – is displayed in the status area of the screen.
Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual151
Chapter 6: Tekterm Application
Exiting View Mode
Panning relies on the values set in the “Use Increment”, “X Increment” and

(lines) the screen contents shift.
• In the “More Parameters” menu, position the cursor on “View Manager”
and press <F1>.
• First, enable the “Use Increment” parameter – set it to “Y”.
“X Increment” determines the number of columns (spaces) the screen pans when
the <LEFT> or <RIGHT> arrow key is pressed in View mode.
“Y Increment” determines the number of rows (lines) the screen pans when the
<UP> or <DOWN> arrow key is pressed in View mode.
• Assign a value to the “X Increment” and “Y Increment” parameters.
To pan the screen contents:
• Press the <RIGHT>, <LEFT>, <UP> or <DOWN> arrow key.
Note: Pressing the <LEFT> arrow pans the screen to the right, pressing the
<RIGHT> arrow pans the screen to the left, and so on.
6.3.1.3 Exiting View Mode
To exit View mode and resume normal operation:
• Press <CTRL> <ALT> <V> again.
Note: You can press the <BLUE> key followed by the appropriate arrow key
each time you want to pan the contents one increment at a time in the
direction of the arrow key without placing the 7530 in View mode.

<DEL> Key Behaviour In TESS
6.5.5.2 <DEL> Key Behaviour In TESS
Field mode
• In a left justified field, the <DEL> key erases all characters in the
field and places the cursor in the left most position of that field.
• In a right justified field, the <DEL> key erases all characters in the
field and places the cursor in the right most position of that field.
• If the <DEL> key is used to clear data in a field that has been
pre-filled by the host application, the field is flagged as modified
and the updated information is sent to the host in the next response
message.
Replace mode
• In both left and right justified fields, the <DEL> key erases charac-
ters beginning from the current cursor position to the end of the
field. The cursor remains in the same position in the field.
• If the <DEL> key is pressed while cursor is in the right most
position in the field, the 7535 emits a keyboard error beep.
• If the <DEL> key is used to clear data in a field that has been
pre-filled by the host application, the field is flagged as modified
and the updated information is sent to the host in the next response
message.
Insert mode
• In both left and right justified fields, the <DEL> key erases the
characters from one character position to right of the cursor to
the end of the field.
• If the <DEL> key is pressed while the cursor is in the right most
position in the field, the 7535 emits a keyboard error beep.
• If the <DEL> key is used to clear data in a field that has been
pre-filled by the host application, the field is flagged as modified
and the updated information is sent to the host in the next response
message.
Fcursor mode • Refer to “Field Mode” at the beginning of this table. The <DEL>
key operates in the same manner in “Fcursor mode” as it does in

<BKSP> Key Behaviour In TESS
158Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual
6.5.5.3 <BKSP> Key Behaviour In TESS
Field 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.

<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.

Lock Messages
160Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual
6.5.7 Lock Messages
When information is transmitted to the host computer, the keyboard locks to
prevent further data entry until the 7535 receives a reply. A locked state is
indicated 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 Commands
A 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 “

nn
”
• <CTRL> <H> – Displays a menu of available hosts.
6.5.9 Resetting A TESS Session
Resetting 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.

The Local Menu
6.5.10 The Local Menu
The 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.

Queuing Mode
162Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual
6.5.12 Queuing Mode
In 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 Emulation
The 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 Configuration
To 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 Manual163
Chapter 6: Tekterm Application
Sending Data To The Host
6.6.2 Sending Data To The Host
7530 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.

Adding Additional ASCII Characters
When you’ve chosen an ASCII character and want to add another one in the same
field, the cursor must be moved to the right of the existing character. Normally,
pressing the <RIGHT> arrow key moves the cursor to the right, but in a string entry
field, pressing the <RIGHT> arrow key cycles through the available ASCII
characters instead. If you’ve already chosen an ASCII character and want to
add another one in the field, you need to take a few extra steps to move the cursor
to the right.
To add another ASCII character in the string entry field, next to the one you’ve
already chosen:
• Type a numeric character – for example, type the number 7.
• Next, press the <BKSP> key.
The cursor is now positioned to the right of the previously selected ASCII character.
• Press the <RIGHT> or <LEFT> arrow key to scroll through the ASCII
characters, and select another character.

Radio Address
The 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.

Splitting And Displaying Screens
6.17.1.1 Splitting And Displaying Screens
Before 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 move the cursor from one pane in a split screen to the next:
• Press <CTRL> <RIGHT> or <LEFT>. The cursor moves in order from the
left-most pane to the right and from the top-most pane to the bottom.
6.17.1.3 Toggling Between Full & Split Screens
To toggle between a split and full screen format:
• Press <CTRL> <DOWN> arrow.
The application displayed when toggling from a split to a full screen format is
determined by the cursor location in the split screen. For example, if the cursor
is in the pane of a split screen in which the TESS application is displayed and
<CTRL> <DOWN> is pressed to display a full screen, the TESS application will be
displayed in the full screen.
6.17.1.4 Using The Asterisk As A Wild Card
When a screen is split, the application displayed in each pane is fixed in the “View
IDs” parameter. Using an asterisk * in the “View IDs” parameter indicates that a
particular pane in the split screen is not fixed to any particular application and can be
changed as required.
For example, suppose you want to split the screen into two vertical segments with
the left pane containing the “Parameters” menu and the right pane containing no
fixed application. The “Type” and “View IDs” parameters would be completed as
follows:
To change the application displayed in the pane with no fixed application:
• If the cursor is not currently in the pane, press <CTRL> <RIGHT> or
<LEFT> arrow to move the cursor into the appropriate screen.
• Press <CTRL> <ALT><0> to display the startup “Display Menu”.
• Type the letter corresponding to the new application you want to display.

held computer as a VT220 terminal. This parameter may or may not be set,
depending on the requirements of the host computer.
Auto-Answer
This string can be up to 30 characters long and is sent by the 7530 as a reply to
an “ENQ” character from the host. The “Auto-Answer” string is programmable in
the same manner as the keyboard macros. For example, this string can be used to
automatically send the username and password when logging into the host. Refer
to "Macro Control Panel" beginning on page 181 for additional details about
macros.
7 bit
When this parameter is disabled (set to “N”), the hand-held computer transmits 8 bit

move to the next field in the direction of the arrow. When set to “cursor”, pressing
the <LEFT> and <RIGHT> arrow keys move the cursor within the current field.
Echo Mode
This parameter selects echo mode for the 7530. The available modes are “Local”,
“Host”, and “Smart”.
Local: In this mode, any character entered using the keyboard is displayed
before being sent to the host. Certain keys cause additional action
at the 7530, as shown in Table 6.5 on page 207.
Host: In this mode, the hand-held computer sends all keyboard entries to
the host and displays only data received from the host.
Smart: This mode reduces or eliminates the delay between typing a
character on the keyboard and displaying the character echoed by
the host computer. The 7530 displays all printable characters on the
screen before sending them to the host. The hand-held compares
the characters echoed by the host to the characters placed on the
page and fixes the display if the host echoes are different.

transmission from the 7530. When enabled (set to “Y”), this parameter causes the
<ENTER> key to start a transmission.
Insert
When 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).
Newline
When 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.

Pages Saved
This parameter determines the number of pages that can be stored and recalled at
the 7530. Storing frequently used page data at the 7530 reduces the need for the host
to retransmit complete page data over the radio link. Retransmitting data can reduce
the system response time. Increasing the number of saved pages decreases the
available memory for other functions.
App. Parameter
The “Application” parameter is sent to the host system as part of the response to
the TESS query command. Enter zero to disable this parameter.

Note: This menu uses string entry fields. For detailed information about com-
pleting this type of field, refer to “String Entry Parameters” on page 171.
Softkeys are function keys that have been programmed to perform specific actions
in your application. These keys are identified through softkey labels – reverse video
labels that are displayed at the bottom of the screen. These softkey labels can be
reconfigured using the menu attached to the “Label F1-F6” parameter.
To edit a label:
• Position the cursor in the appropriate function key field within the

Scan-See Sub-Menu – Mapping The Viewport
240 Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual
The 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 Column
A location on the Scan-See display – the anchor – is chosen as a reference point.
Line Offset/Column Offset
A 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”).

Follow Cursor
When 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).
Wraparound
When “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.
Panning
If “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 Scrolling
When “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
Brightness
The “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.

Note: For “Horiz” and “Vert,” changing the offset will take affect only after the
7535 display has been updated.
Version
Scan-See units with serial numbers that read 1594120224 or higher contain
firmware that implements a different communication protocol with the 7535
than older units. The “Version” numbers represent the following unit versions:

•Digits (0-9) are passed verbatim
•The CLR key forces a sign-on message and display refresh. This only
occurs when CLR is pressed and the CLR key on the display is pressed,
then released.
•The three F-keys are mapped to F1, F2 and F3, respectively.
•The ENT key is mapped to the carriage-return (‘\r’) character.
•The two arrow keys are handled locally, and control the brightness, and the
line and column offsets, as described on page 242.
•Bar-code data is stripped off any identifying headers (symbology, etc.)
and passed verbatim.

Initial RTT (Round Trip Time)
Round trip time is the elapsed time between a 7530 hand-held computer transmis-
sion and an access point acknowledgement. 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.

Troubleshooting 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 Dock
Note: 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 Installation
The 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

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 Access
The 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 Addressing
Although 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 Charging
The 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.

Picker Cradle Mounting Recommendations
7.11.1 Picker Cradle Mounting Recommendations
Warning: 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 Template
The picker cradle is shipped with detailed mounting instructions including a drill
template.
Chapter 7: Peripheral Devices & Accessories
Wiring Guidelines
270Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual
7.11.2 Wiring Guidelines
Before installing the cables between the cradle and other devices, consider
the 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 Cradle
If 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 Cradle
Two 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.

Powered Cradle Installation In High Voltage Vehicles
7.11.5 Powered Cradle Installation In High Voltage Vehicles
Warning: 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 Environments
For 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.

Powered Cradle Installation
272Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual
7.11.6 Powered Cradle Installation
The 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.

Wiring Vehicle Power To The Cradle
7.11.6.1 Wiring Vehicle Power To The Cradle
A 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.

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 Application
The log file is initialized and the program introduction is written to it.
Appendix C: USB Setup Application
Pre-Installation: Updating usbstor.inf And wceusbsh.inf
C-2Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual
C.1.2 Pre-Installation: Updating usbstor.inf And wceusbsh.inf
1. 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.
Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User ManualC-3
Appendix C: USB Setup Application
Pre-Installation: Updating usbstor.inf And wceusbsh.inf
•If necessary, tap on the <Browse> buttons to select different paths for the
inf files.
3. 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.

C-4Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual
C.1.3 Installation: Installing The 7530 As a Device On Your PC
1. 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

Appendix C: USB Setup Application
Post Installation
completed the driver installation and the device is no longer marked for
reinstall. 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 Installation
1. Done Dialogue Box:
This dialogue box indicates the success or failure of the installation.
•To view the log file, tap on the <Log File> button
•To exit the program, tap on the <Exit> button.
