Variations
When using Code 128, you can choose the variation or type of bar code variation the
scanner will recognize. The options available are Standard, UCC and EAN/UCC.
These options are described below.
Standard
Enable (set to ‘ON’) “Standard” if Code 128 is desired.
UCC 128
“UCC” is a variation of Code 128.
EAN/UCC 128
To successfully scan this type of bar code, “EAN/UCC” must be enabled (set to
‘ON’). “EAN/UCC” bar codes include group separators and start codes.
Field Size/Chars
Refer to the description beginning on page 123 for details.
5.7.2.3 EAN 13 Settings
Include Country
If this parameter is enabled (set to ‘ON’), the country code is included with the
decoded bar code data.
Include Check
If this parameter is enabled (set to ‘ON’), the check digit is included with the
decoded bar code data.
Addendum
Important: Before “Addendum” can take effect, the “Short Code” parameter
in the Options menu (see page 120) must be enabled (set to ‘ON’).
An addendum is a separate bar code, supplementary to the main bar code.
This parameter provides three options: Disabled, Optional and Required.
Depending on the value chosen for this parameter, an addendum is recognized
or ignored.

126 Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual
When “Addendum” is set to Disabled, the scanner does not recognize an
addendum. If this parameter is set to Optional, the scanner searches for
an addendum and if one exists, appends it to the main bar code. When the
parameter is set to Required, the scanner does not accept the main bar code
without an addendum.
Prefix/Suffix
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 <ESC> key in this dialogue box resets the data to zero.
Suffix Char
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 <ESC> 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: The appended character is treated as any other keyboard character. For
example, if <BKSP> is pressed, the usual action for that key is per-
formed. If your 7535 is operating with the Psion Teklogix ANSI emulation
application, the hand-held transmits the escape sequence associated with
the function immediately after the bar code data.
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.

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) Setup
134 Psion Teklogix 7535 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 7535 product
supports SNMPv1 (RFC 1157).
• In the Control Panel, choose the SNMP icon.

Chapter 6: Tekterm Application
The Tekterm Application
6.1 The Tekterm Application
Tekterm is a powerful emulation application ideally suited for real time data
transaction applications associated with mainframes and servers. The 7535 includes
unique features that support Tekterm – a Psion Teklogix application that has the
ability to maintain multiple simultaneous sessions with a variety of host computers.
6.2 Additional Keyboard Functions
In addition to the standard keyboard functions (see “The Keyboard” on page 35),
Tekterm supports function keys, softkeys and macro keys.
6.2.1 Function Keys And Softkeys
6.2.1.1 Function Keys
The 7535 is equipped with a series of function keys each of which is defined in the
application software. Depending on the type of keyboard your 7535 has – 58-key or
36-key – the number and location of the function keys on the keyboard varies
slightly.
58-Key Keyboard Function Keys
The 58-key keyboard is equipped with thirty function keys. Function keys <F1> to
<F6> are located across the top of the keyboard and are directly accessible – a key
combination is not required. Function keys <F7> to <F30> are colour coded in blue
print above the alpha keys and are accessed using a key combination – <BLUE>
followed by the appropriate alpha key.
To access function keys <F7> to <F30>:
• Press the <BLUE> key followed by the alpha key to which the
function key you want to use is mapped. For example:
To access function key <F7>, press <BLUE> <C>.
To access function key <F8>, press <BLUE> <D>, and so on.
36-Key Keyboard Function Keys
The 36-key keyboard is equipped with thirty function keys. Function keys <F1> to
<F4> are located across the top of the keyboard and function keys <F5> to <F10>
are located at the bottom of the keyboard.
Chapter 6: Tekterm Application
Softkey Function Keys

• Press the <ORANGE> key followed by the appropriate function key.
For example:
To access function key <F11>, press the <ORANGE> key followed
by <F1>.
To access function key <F12>, press <ORANGE> followed by <F2>,
and so on.
To access function keys <F21> to <F30>, you’ll need to press <SHIFT> <F1> to
<F10>.
To access function keys <F21> to <F30>:
• Press the <SHIFT> key followed by the appropriate function key.
For example:
To access function key <F21>, press the <SHIFT> key followed
by <F1>.
To access function key <F22>, press <SHIFT> followed by <F2>,
and so on.
6.2.1.2 Softkey Function Keys
To speed the process of moving through menus and changing parameters, function
keys <F1> to <F5> have been programmed to perform specific actions in the
Tekterm menus. Table 6.1 describes these function keys.
These softkeys can be reprogrammed to perform different functions within TESS
and ANSI applications.
Important: If your 7535 is equipped with a touchscreen, tapping the stylus on
the appropriate softkey label executes the function of the softkey
providing that the labels are visible at the bottom of the 7535
screen. See “Softkeys” on page 182 if they are not visible.

6.3.1 View Mode
Placing the 7535 keyboard in View mode allows you to choose another screen font and
to pan the contents of the screen.
To place the computer keyboard in View mode:
• Press <CTRL> <ALT> <V>.
When the hand-held is in View mode, the onscreen message –
View
– is displayed in the
status area at the bottom of the screen.
Keep in mind that this is a toggle key combination – pressing <CTRL> <ALT> <V>
a second time turns View mode off.
6.3.1.1 Changing Font Sizes
To cycle through the available fonts (with the unit in View mode):
• Press the <F> key.
Each time you press the <F> key, the font on the screen changes. Once you’ve
displayed the appropriate font:

6.3.1.2 Panning The Screen Contents
If the content of a screen is too large to fit in the margins of the 7535 display, the
content can be panned or shifted to bring the information outside the margins into
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 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 151

<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.

<BKSP> Key Behaviour In TESS
158 Psion Teklogix 7535 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
160 Psion Teklogix 7535 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 7535 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 7535,
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
162 Psion Teklogix 7535 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 7535 without waiting for
a response. These pages are stored in a queue within the 7535 hand-held. The
operator completes the entries on the first page and then, presses a function key.
The 7535 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 7535 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 7535 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 7535 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 7535 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 7535 and each
application session in each 7535 across your system must have a unique number
assigned. This parameter is described in the section titled “ANSI Settings” on
page 195.
Once the 7535 is configured, an ANSI operation can be selected from the startup
“Display Menu”.

Chapter 6: Tekterm Application
Sending Data To The Host
6.6.2 Sending Data To The Host
7535 hand-helds running ANSI sessions transmit characters to the host as soon as
they are typed. The 7535 provides parameters that determine when the computer
transmits characters to the host.
The 7535 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 7535 transmits immediately after the
<ENTER> key, an arrow key, or a function key is pressed.
The 7535 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.

Radio Address
The value entered in the “Radio address” parameter is used to identify the
7535 over the radio link. A unique value from 1 to 3840 must be assigned
for each 7535 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 7535s 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 7535 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 7535.
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 7535s 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 display the split screen on the 7535:

6.17.1.2 Moving Between Split Screens
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

6.17.2 Custom Characters (Unicode™)
Note: The Unicode ™ characters created here are accessible only within the
Tekterm application. To create Unicode ™ characters that are accessible
system-wide, refer to “Unicode Mapping” on page 97.
The “Custom Characters” parameter allows you to create Unicode™ characters not
available directly from the keyboard, including accented characters. Unicode is a
trademark of The Unicode Consortium. You can create up to 20 Unicode™
characters that will be stored in a pop-up menu accessible from any application.
6.17.2.1 Creating A Unicode™ Character
Note: You can create a Unicode™ character by pressing and holding down
the <ALT> while typing the decimal value that represents the Unicode™
character you want to use. However, you will need to press <ALT> and
retype the decimal value each time you want to use the special character.
The advantage to creating special characters using the “Custom Chars”
parameters is that the characters you create in the customer characters
table are saved in a pop-up window that is accessible from any application.
• In the Parameters menu, highlight “View Manager” and press <F1>.
• Highlight “Custom Chars”, and press <F1> to display the custom
characters table.
• Position the cursor on the Fonts at the top of the table.
• Press the <LEFT> or <RIGHT> arrow keys until the character set you want
to use is displayed.
You can create up to 20 Unicode™ characters in the custom characters table.
To create a Unicode™ value:
• Replace the 0000 value with a hex value that represents the Unicode™
character you want to use.

To display the pop-up window within any application:
• Press <CTRL> <ALT> <A>.
Note: Unicode™ characters that cannot be displayed on your screen with the
font you are currently using are displayed as rectangles in the pop-up
window. (See the sample menu on page 192.) However, the actual Uni-
code™ value you created will be sent to the host.
• Use the <LEFT> or <RIGHT> arrow key to position the cursor on the

at the 7535, 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 7535 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.

Xmit Enter
The <ENTER> key normally enters data into a field and moves the cursor to the
next field. However, some applications require that the <ENTER> key start a
transmission from the 7535. 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.

Serial IO Character
Serial I/O fields are special entry and fixed fields that accept input from and output
to a serial port. The application program distinguishes this field as Serial I/O by
preceding the field with a special character. If this character precedes a fixed field,
the data will be sent to the 7535’s serial port. If it precedes an entry field, the field
accepts data from the 7535’s serial port.
This parameter allows you to enter a decimal representation of the ASCII character

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.

Initial RTT (Round Trip Time)
Round trip time is the elapsed time between a 7535 hand-held computer transmis-
sion and an access point acknowledgement. Each 7535 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 7535 will resend the transmission.
Because 7535s cannot calculate an average round trip time without a number of
transmissions, a starting point or “Initial Round Trip Time” is required. The 7535
uses the time assigned to the “Initial RTT” parameter as a starting value for round
trip calculations. Once the 7535 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 7535 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 7535s.
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

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 7535 USB host controller. The 7535
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 7535 hand-held. The host
application uses standard TCP/IP protocol to name, locate and communicate with a
specific 7535 on the network.
If a link is established between a 7535 and a host, the application on the host and on
the 7535 must have a recovery mechanism in the event that the 7535 is removed
from the dock and the link is interrupted.
7.8.5 Battery Charging
The quad dock supplies DC power to enable the 7535 internal fast charger. Charge
status is displayed on the 7535 charge LED (see “Charge LED” on page 43). Battery
charging continues whether the 7535 is switched on or off.

power supply, USB cables and RS232D 9-pin cable.
A cigarette lighter adaptor (PN HU3012) is also available to connect the PDM to a
12 VDC vehicle’s power. Use only the recommended adaptor with the PDM – it
includes transient suppressors that protect your 7535 from damage.
The PDM contains reverse polarity and over voltage protection. If the DC power
jack is wired backwards or exceeds 20VDC, the PDM shuts down to protect the
7535, the PDM and the power supply from damage. Psion Teklogix does not
recommend substituting the DC power supply provided with your PDM.
The DC power supplied by the PDM is sufficient to operate the 7535 and fast charge
its internal battery at the same time. The 7535 can run from a PDM without a battery
installed.

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
270 Psion Teklogix 7535 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 7535 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 7535, 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 7535 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 7535 securely in the cradle. For replacement parts and instructions contact Psion
Teklogix (see Appendix A: Support Services And Worldwide Offices). Partial
disassembly is required.

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
272 Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual
7.11.6 Powered Cradle Installation
The powered cradle option is designed to allow the 7535 to be powered by a vehicle
battery. The battery installed in the 7535 is also recharged by the vehicle battery.
This option accepts DC power sources over the range 12V to 80V.
The 7535 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 7535 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.

Chapter 7: Peripheral Devices & Accessories
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 7535 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.

The Port Replicator
274 Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual
7.11.7 The Port Replicator
The port replicator is an optional accessory that allows tethered devices (e.g.,
scanners) as well as mounted peripherals (e.g., bar code printers or weigh scales) to
be attached to the picker cradle. The replicator can be used with or without the
cradle power option.
The functionality of the 7535 tether port is duplicated on the port replicator. In
addition to the tether port, the replicator is equipped with a standard 9 pin RS232D
serial interface. This interface is typically used for fixed peripherals such as printers.
Your serial device likely includes a suitable cable connector for this port.
Note: The 7535 picker cradle can be ordered with the port replicator option
installed, or it can be retrofitted later by an authorized Psion Teklogix
service depot. Service offices are listed in Appendix A: Support Services
And Worldwide Offices.

USB SETUP APPLICATION
C.1 USB Setup
The USB Setup application (PN 1000997) is used to update a Windows PC so that it
can connect to a Psion Teklogix 7535.
System Requirements
•Windows® 2000 or XP
•ActiveSync 3.1 or later
The two driver classes that control USB communication are usbstor (for commu-
nication with a device running BooSt) and wceusbsh (for communication
through ActiveSync with a device running Windows CE). These drivers must be
updated with 7535-specific information so that the 7535 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 7535, and
•installs the 7535 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-2 Psion Teklogix 7535 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 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual C-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 7535 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.

Installation: Installing The 7535 As a Device On Your PC
C-4 Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual
C.1.3 Installation: Installing The 7535 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 7535 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
Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual C-5
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
7535 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.
