Portable Docking Module (Model #HU4001 or HU1005 and HU3220 or HU3220) – charges the 7535 battery (with the battery installed in the unit). Combo Charger (Model #HU3002) – a desktop charger that charges the 7535 internal battery along with a spare battery pack. Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 33 Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535 Switching The 7535 Hand-Held On And Off • • • 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 7535s inserted in the docking station while transferring data through an Ethernet connection. Powered Cradle (Model #HU1000, HU1010) – can charge the 7535 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 7535 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. 3.3 Switching The 7535 Hand-Held On And Off Switching On The 7535 • • Press and hold down the key for at least one second. When all four LEDs flash orange, release the button. A splash screen displaying the Psion Teklogix logo and the Microsoft® Windows® CE. net logo appears followed by the startup desktop. Note: If the 7535 is in suspend state, pressing key ‘wakes’ the unit from this state. The screen in which you were working before the computer entered suspend state is displayed. 34 Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535 The Keyboard Switching Off The 7535 Important: Keep in mind that turning off the 7535 does not result in a complete reboot; rather, the unit enters a power-saving, “suspend” state. When the 7535 is turned on from suspend state, operation resumes within a few seconds. To switch off the 7535: • Press the key, and then press the 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 key again to unlock it; then press to switch the 7535 off. If, however, you’ve disabled the “Blue Key” in the ‘One Shot’ dialogue box (see “Keyboard One Shot Modes” on page 94), the 7535 can be turned off even when the key is locked ‘on’. 3.4 The Keyboard The 7535 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 and 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 , , , and 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 key followed by the <4> key displays a square bracket rather than the number 4. Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 35 Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535 Activating Modifier Keys The , and 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 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 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 and keys can be disabled 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 and/or 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 Key The 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. 36 Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535 The 58-Key Keyboard The Key The key (sometimes referred to as destructive backspace) moves the cursor one character to the left, erasing the incorrectly entered key stroke. The key () erases the character at the cursor position. The And Key The and keys modify the function of the next key pressed and are application dependent. The Key Typically, the key moves the cursor to the next field to the right or downward. The 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 Key Pressing this key inserts a blank space between characters. In a Windows dialogue box, pressing the key enables (√) or disables a checkbox. The Key Pressing the 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 through can be used with the CE operating system or another application. The additional function keys – through 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. Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 37 Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535 The 36-Key Keyboard 3.4.4 The 36-Key Keyboard On 36-key 7535s, 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 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 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 key, and press the numeric key <2>. To choose the letter ‘b’: • Press the key twice to lock it ‘on’, and press <2> twice. • Press the key again to unlock or turn it off. To choose the letter ‘c’: • Press the key twice to lock it ‘on’. • Press <2> three times, and then • Press the key again to unlock or turn it off. Creating Uppercase Letters To display a capital letter: • Press the key and then the key before typing the alpha character. 38 Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535 The 36-Key Keyboard 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 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 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 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. Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 39 Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535 The Keypad Backlight Suppose you want to type the letters ‘a’, ‘d’ and ‘g’. These alpha characters are accessed from the numeric keys <2>, <3> and <4>. • • • With the key locked ‘on’ (press twice), press <2> to type the letter ‘a’. Press <3> to type ‘d’, and press <4> to type the letter ‘g’. To end alpha selection, press the key a third time to unlock it. 3.4.5 The Keypad Backlight The intensity of the keypad backlight and the conditions under which this backlight is activated can be configured using the Keyboard icon in the Windows CE Control Panel. The behaviour of the keypad backlight is tailored in the Keyboard Properties dialogue box. Refer to “Keyboard Backlight” on page 93 for details about this option. Note: Keep in mind that this option may be restricted to supervisory use only. 3.5 The Display 7535s are equipped with display backlighting to improve character visibility in low light conditions. The backlight switches on when a key is pressed and the ambient light is below the set threshold. A light sensor on the front of the hand-held determines the ambient light level. On some displays, the contrast can also be adjusted to further improve character visibility. 3.5.1 Adjusting The Display Backlight The behaviour of the display backlight – the ambient light threshold below which the backlight will become active and the intensity of the backlight – can be specified in the Display Properties dialogue box in the Windows CE Control Panel. Note: Refer to “Display Backlight” on page 89 for details about the Display Properties dialogue box. 40 Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535 Adjusting The Contrast 3.5.2 Adjusting The Contrast Note: In addition to the manual adjustments described in this section, the display contrast can also be adjusted using the Windows CE Control Panel. Refer to “Display Contrast” on page 88 for details about this dialogue box. The display contrast can be adjusted from the unit keyboard using the key and function keys and . Pressing darkens the display, and pressing lightens the display. Keep in mind that adjusting the contrast on a colour display is much less pronounced than on a monochrome display. To adjust the display contrast: • Press the key twice to lock it on, and then press . to darken the display or . to lighten the display. • Once you’ve successfully adjusted the display contrast, remember to press the key again to turn it ‘off’. 3.5.3 Calibrating The Touchscreen If your 7535 touchscreen has never been calibrated or if you find that the stylus pointer is not accurate when you tap on an item, use the Stylus Properties dialogue box in the Windows CE Control Panel to recalibrate the screen. • In the Control Panel, choose the Stylus icon to display the Stylus Properties window.

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. 48 Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535 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. Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 49 Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535 Troubleshooting 3.7.3 Troubleshooting If the scanner is not working, investigate the following: • Is the 7535 on? • Check that the bar code symbology being scanned is enabled for the 7535 you are using. Check any other parameters that affect the scanning procedure 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 7535. • 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 7535 on. Wait until the unit has booted up completely. Important: • 50 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 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535 Operating Internal PDF Laser Scanners 3.7.5 Operating Internal PDF Laser Scanners This scanner decodes PDF417 two-dimensional bar codes. • • Turn the 7535 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 7535 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 application program. The application program then issues a warning, asking that you scan the missing bar codes. When scanning a single bar code, ensure that only the desired bar code is within the field of view of the scanner. Because 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 photographers. When pointing at a shiny surface, either shift the bar code to the side or top, or angle the bar code so that the glare reflects away from the imager scanner. Turn the 7535 computer on. Wait until the unit has booted up completely. Aim at the bar code and press the scan key or the trigger. Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 51 Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535 Connecting & Disconnecting Tethered Peripherals • 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 7535: • 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 52 Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535 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 7535 at temperature extremes will shorten the battery life. Lithium-Ion batteries do not require conditioning cycles and the 7535 battery system (including chargers) requires no user interaction to maintain peak performance. Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 53 Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535 Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time 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 recalibration. 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. • • • 54 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 recalibrates 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 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535 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 batteries 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 <0> to display the Start Menu. Choose System Tray from the menu. Use the and arrow keys to highlight the radio signal icon in the taskbar. Press 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. Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 55 Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535 Uploading Data In A Docking Station 3.11 Uploading Data In A Docking Station The Combo Docking and Quad Docking peripherals allow the 7535 to link to an Ethernet network. They are typically used to upload transaction data to a server computer when a radio link in not available. When a 7535 is properly inserted in a docking station, a dock icon is displayed in the taskbar at the bottom of the 7535 screen. The 7535 also detects the presence of the Ethernet network. Review the documentation provided with the user application installed in your 7535 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. 56 Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535 Cleaning The 7535 3.12.2 Cleaning The 7535 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 7535 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 7535 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 Touchscreen” on page 41. A touchscreen is an optional feature. A 7535 equipped with a touchscreen has a stylus – a pointing tool that looks like a pen – stored in a slot at the top of the 7535. 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 7535. 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 minutes. 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 7535 CPU enters a sleep state, and the radio is shut off. The state of the device (RAM contents) is preserved. Pressing wakes the system from suspend state. When the 7535 is in suspend state, the network connection will not be broken immediately. If the connection is dropped, you must re-establish the network connection.

Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 105 5.7 Scanner Properties Setup The 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 Options Figure 5.45 Bar Code Options To display the sub-menus available in the Options tab: • Highlight the option you want to work with, and press the right key. To change a parameter: • Highlight the parameter and press the arrow key, or press the key. If a field requires text entry, a text field is displayed in which you can type the appropriate value. 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. Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 119 Chapter 5: Configuration Scanner Options 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 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. 120 Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual Chapter 5: Configuration Bar Codes 5.7.2 Bar Codes Figure 5.46 Bar Code Selection All the available bar code symbologies can be selected from this menu. Important: To improve the decode speed and performance, enable (set to ‘ON’) only those codes that are required by the application. Keep in mind that some bar code types are only available when an internal imaging scanner is installed. The bar code settings do not affect the operation of internal or external decoded scanners. These scanners must be configured by scanning special configuration bar codes. These configuration bar codes affect the communication speed or data format between the scanner and the 7535 and must not be changed. The scanner manufacturer provides programming manuals for configuration purposes. • For Symbol, refer to “Programming Guide P300”. • For PSC, refer to “Powerscan Programing guide (PSC)”. Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 121 Chapter 5: Configuration Code 39 Settings Figure 5.47 Code 39 Bar Code Settings A ‘plus’ sign (+) to the left of the each bar code listed in this Barcodes tab indicate that that a sub-menu of parameters is attached. To work with a sub-menu: • • • Highlight the bar code you want to work with, and press the arrow key to display the sub-menu. Use the and arrow keys to highlight a parameter. To change a parameter value, press or the arrow key. 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 Settings Full Ascii If 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 Check If this parameter is enabled (set to ‘ON’), the check digit is included with the decoded bar code data. 122 Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual Chapter 5: Configuration Code 39 Settings 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 7535 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 is disabled and the “AIAG Strip” parameter is enabled (set to ‘ON’), the label data is not accepted. Mod Checks Mod 43 Check If this parameter is enabled (set to ‘ON’), the Mod 43 check digit is calculated. Mod 10 Check If this parameter is enabled (set to ‘ON’), the Mod 10 check digit is calculated. None If you choose ‘None’, a check is not executed. Field Size/Chars Field Size The 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. Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 123 Chapter 5: Configuration Code 128 Settings Prefix Char This character, if non-zero, is added before a successfully decoded bar code. Press the key you want to insert in the dialogue box attached to this parameter. The ASCII/Unicode key value of the keypress is displayed. Pressing the key in this dialogue box resets the data to zero. Suffix Char Note: The appended character is treated as any other keyboard character. For example, if is pressed, the usual action for that key is performed. If your unit is operating with the Psion Teklogix ANSI emulation application, the 7535 transmits the escape sequence associated with the function immediately after the bar code data. This character, if non-zero, is added after a successfully decoded bar code. Press the key you want to insert in the dialogue box attached to this parameter. The ASCII/Unicode key value of the keypress is displayed. Pressing the key in this dialogue box resets the data to zero. Strip Leading This parameter determines the number of characters that will be removed from the beginning of the bar code before the prefix character is added. Note: For Code 39 bar codes, the “AIAG Strip” is performed before the “Strip Leading”. Strip Trailing The value entered in this parameter determines the number of characters that will be removed from the end of the bar code before the suffix character is added. 5.7.2.2 Code 128 Settings Include Sym Setting “Include Sym” to ‘ON’ causes the group separator(s) and start code contained in this type of bar code to be displayed on the screen. Note: This option is available only when ‘EAN/UCC 128’ is selected. 124 Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual
