Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive 2002/96/EC
Preliminary Draft 3
Restriction On Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive 2002/95/EC
What is RoHS?
The European Union has mandated that high environmental standards be met in the design
and manufacture of electronic and electrical products sold in Europe, to reduce hazardous
substances from entering the environment. The “Restriction on Hazardous Substances Di-
rective (RoHS)” prescribes the maximum trace levels of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexava-
lent chromium, and flame retardants PBB and PBDE that may be contained in a product.
Only products meeting these high environmental standards may be “placed on the market”
in EU member states after July 1, 2006.
Although there is no legal requirement to mark RoHS-compliant products, Psion Teklogix
Inc. indicates its compliance with the directive as follows:
The RoHS logo located either on the back of the product or underneath the battery in the
battery compartment (or on a related accessory such as the charger or docking station) signi-
fies that the product is RoHS-compliant as per the EU directive. Other than as noted below,
a Psion Teklogix product that does not have an accompanying RoHS logo signifies that it
was placed on the EU market prior to July 1, 2006, and is thereby exempt from the directive.
RoHS Logo
Note: Not all accessories or peripherals will have a RoHS logo due to physical space
limitations or as a result of their exempt status.

14 Psion Teklogix 7545 Hand-Held Computer User Manual
2.2 Preparing The 7545 For Operation
Typically, 7545 Hand-Held Computers are configured at the factory and arrive ready for use.
Although these computers are 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.
2.2.1 Equipment You Need To Get Started
You’ll need:
• A 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 (#2) Phillips head screwdriver (if you need to attach a carrying strap or
pistol grip handle).
2.3 Powering Up The 7545
2.3.1 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 per-
formed. Batteries can be charged using a gang charger or the unit’s internal charger. When
using the internal charger, a suitable power source is required. All chargers and docking sta-
tions are described in Chapter 6: “Peripheral Devices & Accessories”.

Calibrating The Touchscreen
Psion Teklogix 7545 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 19
2.5 Calibrating The Touchscreen
If you have the 7545 touchscreen feature, it is factory-calibrated and ready-to-go; however,
over time the touchscreen's operating parameters may change, and it may need to be recali-
brated for correct operation. Refer to “Calibrating The Touchscreen” on page 51 for details.
2.6 Configuring Your Radio
Psion Teklogix provides two types of 802.11 Compact Flash (CF) wireless LAN radio cards
for the 7545: the Motorola RA2043a/b/g radio and the Summit RA2041b/g radio. Both
models are Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum radios.
If your 7545 is equipped with an RA2041 CF radio, follow the steps under “Summit Client
Utility (SCU) For 802.11b/g Radio” on page 28 to set up this type of radio for communica-
tion with a wireless LAN.
If your computer is equipped with an RA2043 CF radio, follow the steps outlined under the
heading “Configuring An IEEE 802.11 Radio In The Unit”, below.
2.7 Configuring An IEEE 802.11 Radio In The Unit
The most common 802.11 settings are configured as defaults. However, there are some
fields that must be completed, including the SSID of your access point and the security
methods implemented in the network (including access keys).
To configure the 802.11 radio:
1. Tap on Start>Settings>Network and Dial-up Connections. (If the Start Menu isn’t
displayed in the taskbar, press [BLUE] [0] to display it.)
Note: Keep in mind that 7545 Hand-Held Computers can be ordered with or without
touchscreens, and that the touchscreen function can be turned off (see “Touch” on
page 124).
Note: In most situations the configuration of your 802.11 radio will require parameters,
settings, and access keys from a network administrator.
Network administrators should review the detailed security information in this sec-
tion in order to effectively configure the 802.11 wireless network.
Important: If the 7545 is equipped with a radio that has never been configured, the
radio settings dialog box opens automatically when the unit is powered on.
In this case, skip to Step 4 on page 21.

Ad Hoc And Infrastructure
If you are using an Infrastructure network—one in which 7545s must pass data through
an access point—leave the checkbox next to This is an ad hoc network blank.
If you are using an Ad Hoc network—a network in which 7545s pass data directly to
other 7545s without an access point—highlight This is an ad hoc network, and add a
checkmark in the checkbox to enable Ad Hoc.
Encryption
WEP (Wired-Equivalent Privacy) encryption prevents others from accidentally access-
ing your network. If you are not using encryption, you can choose Disabled from the
drop-down encryption menu. Otherwise, leave this field as is.
TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) is an encryption protocol included as part of
the IEEE 802.11 standard for wireless LANs. Designed to enhance WEP, TKIP uses the
original WEP encryption but ‘wraps’ additional code at the beginning and end to encap-
sulate and modify it, encrypting each data packet with a unique encryption key.
Authentication
802.11 supports four subtypes of network authentication services: Open, Shared, WPA,
and WPA-PSK. Under Open authentication, any wireless station can request authentica-
tion. 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 iden-
tity 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.
Under WPA and WPA-PSK authentication, the use of 802.1x authentication is required.
For wireless networks without a Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service
(RADIUS) infrastructure, WPA supports the use of a preshared key. For wireless net-
works with a RADIUS infrastructure, Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) and
RADIUS is supported.
Important: Keep in mind that the 7545 will only communicate with access points that
are configured with the same SSID.
Note: WEP cannot be disabled if you are using WPA or WPA-PSK authentication.

The Battery
Psion Teklogix 7545 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 39
3.1 The Battery
The hand-held operates with a lithium-ion battery pack. Preparing the unit for operation re-
quires that a battery pack be charged and installed in the 7545.
3.1.1 Battery Safety
3.1.2 Removing And Installing The Battery Pack
Removing The Battery Pack
• If your unit is equipped with a hand strap, unhook it from the base of the battery.
• Press down the release tab at the top of the battery, and slide the battery out.
Installing The Battery Pack
To install the battery pack:
• Slide the battery pack with the contoured plastic facing you into the 7545. Click the
battery into place.
Important: Before attempting to install, use or charge the battery pack, it is critical that
you review and follow the important safety guidelines in the 7545 Hand-
Held Computer Regulatory & Warranty Guide (PN 8000191).
Important: Always switch the unit off before changing the battery. If you do not turn
the hand-held off before removing the battery, it may be necessary to reboot
the unit. Any active sessions may be lost. While the battery is being
replaced, the 7545 will save its current data for up to 20 minutes.
Note: If your hand-held is equipped with a battery contact protective gasket
(P/N 1020250), to remove the battery, you will need to hold the 7545 face down with
both hands, making certain that your fingers are not touching the keypad. Press
down firmly on the battery release with both thumbs and slide the battery out.

Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time
Psion Teklogix 7545 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 41
• Quad Docking Station (Model #HU4004): can charge the battery of up to four hand-
helds inserted in the docking station while transferring data through an Ethernet
connection.
• Powered Cradle (Model # HU1010): can charge the hand-held with the battery installed
in the hand-held.
It can take from 1.5 to 4 hours to charge a battery. The unit’s intelligent charging system pro-
tects the battery from over-charging by terminating the charge process when the battery is at
maximum capacity.
3.1.4 Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time
Under normal operating conditions, fully charged batteries last for 8 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 7545 at temperature extremes will shorten
the battery life.
Lithium-ion batteries do not require conditioning cycles and the 7545 battery system (in-
cluding chargers) requires no user interaction to maintain peak performance.
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. Adjusting the keyboard backlight also helps.
• 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.
Note: Refer to “Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time” on page 41 for addi-
tional information about the 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 53 for
details.

Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7545
Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time
42 Psion Teklogix 7545 Hand-Held Computer User Manual
• The hand-held 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 impor-
tant 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 dialog box that provides detailed information
about the battery status and performance. If the remaining capacity indication seems inaccu-
rate, 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.
• When the hand-held is switched off, it goes into a low-power, suspend state but contin-
ues 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, operated in the hand-held until the battery is empty (i.e. the low battery
warning appears), and then charged again before use. This recalibrates the gas gauge
and allows the internal electronics to determine the actual capacity of the battery. See
“Battery Gas Gauge Calibration” on page 176 for a detailed discussion of battery
calibration.
3.1.4.1 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 tem-
peratures 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.

Switching On The Unit
• Press and hold down the [ENTER/ON] key for at least one second.
• When all four LEDs flash yellow, release the [ENTER/ON] button.
Switching Off The Unit
To switch off the 7545:
• Press the [BLUE] key, and then press the [ENTER/ON] key.
3.3 The Keyboard
The 7545 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 com-
puter. Where a key or key function is not consistent with the PC keyboard, the differences
are noted.
Note: If the 7545 is in suspend state, pressing [ENTER/ON] key ‘wakes’ the unit from this
state. The screen in which you were working before the computer entered suspend
state is displayed.
Important: Keep in mind that turning off the 7545 does not result in a complete reboot;
rather, the unit enters a power-saving, “suspend” state. When the 7545 is
turned on from suspend state, operation resumes within a few seconds.
Important: If the word ‘BLUE’ is displayed in uppercase in the taskbar area at the
bottom of the screen, this key is locked “on” and the 7545 will not switch
off. Press the [BLUE] key twice followed by [ENTER/ON] to switch the
7545 off.
If, however, you’ve disabled the “Blue Key” in the ‘One Shot’ dialog box
(see “Keyboard One Shot Modes” on page 105), the 7545 can be turned off
even when the [BLUE] key is locked ‘on’.

Psion Teklogix 7545 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 45
3.3.1.2 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, the uppercase representation at the bottom of the
screen is no longer displayed.
3.3.2 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.
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.
Note: The locking function of the [ORANGE] and [BLUE] 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 [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 105

behaviour of the keypad backlight is tailored in the Keyboard Properties dialog box. Refer to
“Keyboard Backlight” on page 104 for details about this option.
3.4 The Display
7545s 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.
3.4.1 Adjusting The Display Backlight
The behaviour of the display backlight (the ambient light threshold below which the back-
light will become active) and the intensity of the backlight can be specified in the Display
Properties dialog box in the Control Panel.
Note: Keep in mind that this option may be restricted to supervisory use only.
Note: Refer to “Backlight” on page 99 for details about the Display Properties dialog
box.

Internal Scanners
58 Psion Teklogix 7545 Hand-Held Computer User Manual
3.6 Internal Scanners
The 7545 supports a wide range of scanner options to address a variety of user application
requirements. The scanner installed in your unit can be configured using the Scanner Set-
tings dialog box in the Control Panel (see page 135) and the Manage Triggers application
(see page 113). External, non-decoded scanners are also configured through the Scanner
Settings and Manage Triggers applications.
However, external decoded scanners must be configured by scanning special configuration
bar codes. In these cases, the scanner manufacturer provides programming manuals for con-
figuration purposes.
• For Symbol decoded scanners, refer to the LS3408 Programming Guide
• For Symbol non-decoded scanners, refer to the LS3200 Programming Guide.
• For PowerScan® (PSC) decoded and non-decoded scanners, refer to the PowerScan
Programing Guide (PSC).
Scanner types include:
• Advanced Long Range: reads very large 1D bar codes (60 mil+) at very long distances
(up to 14m).
• Long Range: reads large 1D bar codes (55 mil) at long distances (up to 3m).
• High Performance: reads 1D linear bar codes (5 - 55 mil) at medium distances (up to
1m).
• Extended Range: reads regular 1D bar codes (5 - 55mil) at short to medium distances
(1m), as well as large 1D bar codes (e.g. 55 mil) at long distances.
• RFID: The RD7950 UHF RFID Reader is an EPC-compliant 900MHz RFID reader
which can be integrated with laser bar code scanning or imaging.
• Fuzzy Logic: reads damaged or low contrast regular 1D bar codes (5 - 55mil) at medium
distances (up to 1m).
• PDF Raster Laser: reads 2D PDF bar codes or regular 1D bar codes at short to medium
distances.
• 2D Imager: reads regular 1D and all 2D bar codes at short to medium distances.
• 1D Imager: reads regular 1D and PDF417 bar codes at short to medium distances.
It is critical that you review the “Laser Warnings” in the 7545 Hand-Held Computer Regula-
tory & Warranty Guide (PN 8000191) before using any of the scanners described in this
Important: For detailed scanner specifications and decode zone tables, refer to “Inter-
nal Scanners and Imagers” on page 202.

chapter. “Scanning Techniques” on page 59 outlines the mechanics of a successful scan. In
addition, review “Scan LED Indicators” on page 59 to better understand how to interpret
whether or not a bar code has been successfully scanned. Finally, “Troubleshooting” on
page 60 provides some helpful suggestions should the scan fail.
3.6.1 Scanning Techniques
• 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.
• When using imaging scanners, do not move the scanner while decoding the bar code.
Movement blurs the image.
• Hold the scanner farther away for larger bar codes.
• Hold the scanner closer for bar codes with bars that are close together.
3.6.2 Scan LED Indicators
The 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 you want to turn off the onscreen message, disable
“Scan Indication” in the Options tab of the Scanner Settings menu in the Control Panel
When the scan is successful, the bar code data is displayed on the screen until the scan
button (or pistol trigger) is released, but only if “Scan Result” is turned on in the Options tab
of the Scanner Settings menu in the Control Panel.
Note: The scanning techniques described here apply to internal and external scanners.

Troubleshooting
60 Psion Teklogix 7545 Hand-Held Computer User Manual
3.6.3 Troubleshooting
If the scanner is not working, investigate the following:
• Is the unit on?
• Check that the bar code symbology being scanned is enabled for the hand-held 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 hand-held.
• Is the laser beam scanning across the bar code?
• Once the scan beam has stopped, check the scanner window for dirt or fogging.
3.6.4 Operating One Dimensional (1D) Internal Laser Scanners
• Turn the hand-held on. Wait until the unit has booted up completely.
• 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.
3.6.5 Operating Internal PDF Laser Scanners
This scanner decodes PDF417 two-dimensional bar codes.
• Turn the hand-held 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 rec-
tangle 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.
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 C-8 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.

Operating Internal Two Dimensional (2D) Imager Scanners
Psion Teklogix 7545 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 61
3.6.6 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 hand-held will be decoded successfully.
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 hand-held.
• Turn the hand-held computer on. Wait until the unit has booted up completely.
• Aim at the bar code and press the scan key or the trigger. Hold the trigger until a suc-
cessful or failed scan result is obtained.
• 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.
The illumination LEDs will flash (typically several times) and a picture of the bar code(s)
is taken.
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 will 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.
Important: Keep in mind that the imager scanner is a camera, and the LED illumina-
tion 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.
Most imagers take several ‘snap shots’ of the bar code in order to decode it.
It is normal for the LEDs to flash two or three times. Hold the unit steady
between flashes to improve decode performance.

64 Psion Teklogix 7545 Hand-Held Computer User Manual
3.9 Uploading Data In A Docking Station
The Combo Docking and Quad Docking peripherals allow your hand-held to link to an
Ethernet network. They are typically used to upload transaction data to a server computer
when a radio link is not available. When a 7545 is properly inserted in a docking station, a
dock icon is displayed in the taskbar at the bottom of the unit screen. The hand-held also
detects the presence of the Ethernet network. Review the documentation provided with the
user application installed in your 7545 before preforming data uploads.
3.10 General Maintenance
3.10.1 Caring For The Touchscreen
The touchscreen is covered with 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, ketchup
• sodium hydroxide,
• concentrated caustic solutions,
• benzyl alcohol, and
• concentrated acids.
If the touchscreen is used in harsh environments, consider applying a disposable screen pro-
tector (P/N 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.
3.10.2 Cleaning The 7545
• Use only mild detergent or soapy water to clean the hand-held unit.
Important: Do not immerse the unit in water. Dampen a soft cloth with mild detergent
to wipe the unit clean.
To prevent damage to the touchscreen, use only the stylus (pen) supplied
with your 7545.

Cleaning The 7545
Psion Teklogix 7545 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 65
• Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents or strong chemicals for cleaning. The 7545 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.

Psion Teklogix 7545 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 69
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 avail-
able 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 key-
board shortcuts or touchscreen tapping.
4.1.1 Navigating Using A Touchscreen And Stylus
A touchscreen is an optional feature on 7545s. A hand-held equipped with a touchscreen
comes equipped with a stylus—a pointing tool that looks like a pen—stored in a slot at the
top of the unit. The stylus is used to select objects on the touchscreen.
To choose an icon, open a file, launch an applet or open a folder:
• Double-tap the stylus on the appropriate icon.
4.1.2 Navigating Using The Keyboard
If your 7545 has a standard screen (rather than a touchscreen), choosing icons and navigat-
ing dialog boxes, displaying the desktop, and so on requires keyed input. If your unit has
already been fully configured and your application is launched at startup, you’ll have little
need for keyboard navigation, but you can refer to Table 4.1: “Keyboard Navigation” on
page 70 for a description of the navigation keys.
Note: In order to access many of the menus discussed in this chapter, the security level
must be set to ‘Supervisor’ (see “Security Settings” on page 76).
Note: If the touchscreen is not registering your screen taps accurately, the touchscreen
may need recalibration. Refer to “Calibrating The Touchscreen” on page 51.
Note: To prevent damage to the touchscreen, use only the stylus (pen) supplied with
your 7545.

each modifier key—[ALT], [SHIFT], [CTRL], [ORANGE] and [BLUE]—you have the fol-
lowing options in the drop-down menu: Lock, OneShot, and OneShot/Lock.
Lock
If you choose Lock from the drop-down menu, pressing a modifier key once locks it ‘on’
until you press the modifier key a second time to unlock or turn it off.
OneShot
If you choose OneShot, the modifier key remains active only until the next key is pressed.
Note: Keep in mind that checking the taskbar lets you know whether or not these keys are
locked on. For example, if the [ORANGE] key is locked ‘on’, the taskbar at the bot-
tom of the screen displays it in uppercase characters, ORANGE KEY. If this key is
displayed in lowercase characters in the taskbar, you’ll know that the orange key is
not locked. It will become inactive following a key press.

5.6.5.6 Scancode Remapping
A scancode is a number that is associated with a physical key on a keyboard. Every key has
a unique scancode that is mapped to a virtual key, a function or a macro. Scancode Remap-
ping allows you to change the functionality of any key on the keyboard. A key can be
remapped to send a virtual key (e.g. VK_F represents the ‘F’ key; VK_RETURN represents
the [ENTER/ON] key, etc.), perform a function (e.g. turn the scanner on, change vol-
ume/contrast, etc.) or run a macro.
There are three different tables of scancode mappings: the Normal table, the Blue table and
the Orange table. The Normal table defines unmodified key presses; the Blue table defines

key presses that occur when the [BLUE] modifier is on; the Orange table defines key
presses that occur when the [ORANGE] modifier is on. The default mappings of these scan-
codes can be overwritten for each of these three tables using the Scancode Remapping tab
accessed from the Keyboard Properties dialog box.
The first column in the Scancode Remapping tab displays the scancodes in hexadecimal. If
the scancode is remapped to a virtual key, that virtual key is displayed in the next column la-
belled ‘V-Key’. A virtual key that is ‘Shifted’ or ‘Unshifted’ is displayed in the third column
labelled ‘Function’.
If the scancode is remapped to a function or a macro, the first and second columns remain
blank while the third column contains the function name or macro key number
(e.g., Macro 2).

5.6.6.1 Trigger Mappings
A trigger mapping is an association between a particular key on the keyboard and a driver or
application, the module(s)—sometimes referred to as “trigger consumer(s)”—of the trigger
source. Along with keyboard keys, the external trigger (scan button) is software-based.
When the specified key is pressed, the owner (for example, a decoded scanner) is sent
amessage.
Double-Click
When a key is pressed and released, then pressed again within the configured time (between
0 to 1000 milliseconds), a double-click occurs. See also “Trigger-Press Type” on page 116.
Important: It is not possible to have two or more identical mappings—for example [F1]
cannot be mapped to the Non-Decoded Scanner twice—even if the trigger
type is different.
A keyboard key that is used as a trigger source will no longer generate key
data, or perform its normal function. For example, if the space button is
used as a trigger source, it will not be able to send space characters to
applications.

this list, tap on the Add Key button. A dialog will pop up and allow you to select the key-
board key to use as a trigger source.
Trigger-Press Type
You can enable either an Up/Down or Double Click response to a trigger press. Normally,
when a trigger (keyboard key, etc.) is pressed and released, a “trigger down” event is sent to
the “owner”—that is, the application receiving the trigger press information—followed by a
“trigger up”. If Double Click is chosen in this menu, when the trigger is pressed, released,
and then pressed again, a “double-click” event will have occurred. If a mapping with the
type Up/Down has also been configured for the same source, it will only receive the first set
of trigger events.
Note: It is possible to map the same source to different modules (trigger consumers)—for
example, to both the Imager and Non-Decoded Scanner. If so, both devices/opera-
tions will occur simultaneously. This is not recommended in most cases, especially
with devices such as Imagers or RFID Readers.
It is also possible to map different sources to the same module (trigger con-
sumer)—for example, two different trigger keys can be mapped to the RFID
File System.

Suspend Timeout
When the 7545 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 Suspend Timeout field to determine when the unit will go
to sleep (appear to be off).
When the time in the Suspend Timeout field elapses without any activity, the unit enters
suspend state. In suspend state, the 7545 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 7545 is in suspend state, the network connection will not be
broken immediately. If the connection is dropped, you must re-establish the network
connection.
Important: Psion Teklogix recommends setting the Suspend value to 10 minutes. To
further reduce power consumption, carefully consider the duration of time
that the display backlight is ‘on’ (see “Backlight” on page 99).

5.6.7.3 Suspend Threshold And Estimated Battery Backup
The Suspend Threshold adjustment tells the system when to shut down when the battery
drains. If you choose Maximum Operating Time, the unit will run until the battery is com-
pletely empty; the RAM is only backed up for a short period of time. If you choose
Maximum Backup Time, the hand-held shuts off with more energy left in the battery so
RAM can be backed up for a longer period of time.
The Estimated Battery Backup is the amount of battery power that has been reserved or set
aside to protect data until a charged battery can be installed in the 7545. When the battery
capacity is depleted up to the Estimated Battery Backup reserve specified in the Suspend
Threshold menu, the 7545 shuts off automatically and uses the reserve power to preserve the
Important: Selecting Maximum backup time will reserve approximately 20% of the
battery capacity for memory backup. Once the battery is drained, the system
RAM memory is lost and the unit must cold boot.
In most real-time transaction environments this is not a problem (it only
takes a few seconds to cold boot). Batch transaction environments, where
data is not saved to a non-volatile memory (such as an SD FLASH card),
may need to pay particular attention to this parameter. Psion Teklogix does
not recommend the storage of any valuable data in system RAM.
The 7545 Windows CE 5.0 environment does not store any critical data in
RAM (such as the registry or file system).
If your application does not save data to RAM, Psion Teklogix recommends
keeping the Suspend Threshold setting as low as possible to maximize
battery run time.

•Slide the Suspend Threshold button to the right to increase the battery capacity
reserved for backup purposes. Data will be preserved to a maximum of 124 hours.
•Slide the Suspend Threshold button to the left to decrease the power reserved for
backup purposes; this increases the 7545 operating time—the amount of time the unit
will operate before shutting down—but reduces the power reserved for backup purposes

light a device in the list box, both the Services and Set PIN buttons become available.
Services
A discovered device may display several service profiles that it can use to communicate, and
you will want to activate the type you need. Supported profiles that can be activated include:
DUN (Dial-Up Networking service), Printer (serial service), and LANPPP (LANAccessUs-
ingPPP service). ASync (ActiveSync) is another available profile.
• To start the service scan, highlight a device in the Devices menu list, and then click on
the Services button or double-click on the device entry.
Once the device’s service profiles are displayed in the Services list box:
• Highlight the service to be activated.
• Press [SPACE] or right-click to display the Activation menu.
The Activation menu contains four options: Activate, Authenticate, Outgoing, and Encrypt.
Once the service is successfully activated, the assigned port (if applicable) will appear in the
Port column of the Services list box. You can choose to use BSP or COM as the port name.
BSP is the latest Microsoft Bluetooth stack standard, but older applications assume serial
ports are COM. When using COM as the port name, the Bluetooth manager will try to find
and use a free port between COM7 and COM9. When using BSP as the port name, BSP2 to
BSP9 are available for use. The port is available as soon as it is activated.
Note: During the scanning process, addresses are located first, followed by names. Only
the names of devices that are within the Bluetooth radio coverage range will
be retrieved.
Note: If the remote device is out of reach or turned off, it can take a considerable amount
of time for the Services dialog box to appear—it may appear to be frozen.
Note: The CH column shows the RFCOMM channel of the service if the service is
RFCOMM-based. This information is not generally needed except for
debugging purposes.

Outgoing Port acts as a serial port that can be used to connect to a list of Bluetooth devices
(one at a time), but you have the freedom to switch on-the-fly.
The Outgoing Port checkbox allows you to create the Outgoing port. When the port is cre-
ated, the Outgoing tab lists the port name.
The Outgoing list dialog box displays a list of services marked as ‘Outgoing’. The * column
indicates the currently selected service. You can tap on Unselect to reset the current selec-
tion, or you can tap on Select to make a selection. The Remove button deletes the service
from the outgoing list.
The Prompt menu determines the behaviour of the pop-up Selection menu. Choosing Every-
time causes the Selection menu to be displayed each time an outgoing port is created. If you
choose Once, the menu is displayed only when a partner service is not selected.
To display the Selection menu at any time:
• Press [CTRL] [ALT] [F1], and switch the partner Bluetooth device.
If a connection to a partner device already exists, the connection is dropped and another con-
nection to the newly selected device is created instantly without disrupting the application
that has opened the outgoing port.
Note: To add a service to the Outgoing port, an active service must first be deactivated.
Then you can choose the ‘Outgoing’ option from the Activation menu (highlight a

The drop-down menu to the right of the Scanner option allows you to choose configurations
for one of the following scanner types, depending on what is installed in/on your hand-held:
Decoded (internal), Decoded (Intermec ISCP), Imager and Non-decoded.
The symbologies listed in the Barcodes tab change to reflect the scanner you choose and the
bar codes it supports. Always defer to your bar code scanner’s programming manual when
in doubt about the availability or settings for any parameter.
Keep in mind that some bar code types are only available when an internal imaging scanner
is installed. All internal scanners can be configured using these dialog boxes. External, non-
decoded scanners are also configured through the Scanner Properties dialog box.
However, external decoded scanners must be configured by scanning special configuration
bar codes. In these cases, the scanner manufacturer provides programming manuals for con-
figuration purposes.
Note: Your 7545 comes preconfigured from the factory for internal scanner types. The
type of scanner installed can be determined from the System icon in the Control
Panel, under the System Properties tab.
Important: To improve the decode speed and performance, enable (set to ‘on’) only
those codes that are required by the application.

5.10.2 Options
This tab allows you to tailor the double-click parameters and the display options associated
with your scanner.
5.10.2.1 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 con-

Options
Psion Teklogix 7545 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 139
sidered 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-click-
ing 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 7545 following a double-click. A dialog box appears,
asking that you press the key you want to insert. The ASCII/Unicode key value of the key-
press is displayed.
Pressing the [ESC] key in this dialog box resets the data to zero.
5.10.2.2 Display Parameters
Scan Result
When this parameter is enabled, 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.
Scan Indicator
When this parameter is enabled, 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 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. When you choose this option, a dialog box appears where
you can enter a value.
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.

Good Scan Beep And Bad Scan Beep
These parameters determine whether or not the 7545 emits an audible scanner ‘beep’ when a
good (successful) scan or a bad (unsuccessful) scan is performed. Set these parameters to
either on to enable the beeper or off to disable it.
Soft Scan Timeout
This parameter is used by the SDK “Scan” function (soft-scan: starting a scan session via the
SDK function, instead of a physical user trigger press). The value assigned to this parameter
determines the soft-scan timeout from 1 to 10 sec (default is 3 sec).
Scan Log File
If this parameter is enabled, the input bar code and the modified/translated output bar code
are logged in the file \Flash Disk\ScanLog.txt. Keep in mind that if Scan Log File is enabled,
there is a slight performance reduction when performing multiple scans since the log file is
written to persistent storage.

The Translations menu allows you to define up to 10 cases, each consisting of up to 10 rules
in sequential order. Only one case will be applied to a bar code and a case will only be
applied if all rules specified in the case are successful—if a rule within a case fails, the entire

•Match at index—matches the match string at a specified index.
•Match and replace at index—matches the match string at a specified index and
replaces/changes it.
•Replace at index—replaces/changes unspecified data in a given range.
•Add barcode prefix/suffix—adds a global prefix or suffix.
•Verify barcode size—verifies the bar code size. This rule should generally be assigned
first, before creating subsequent rules.
Translation information about the status of each case/rule is displayed in the scan log file
(see “Scan Log File” on page 140) when enabled. This is useful if a case fails, and you are
trying to determine why a rule is failing.
Note: Keep in mind that the effects of previously applied rules must be taken into account
when creating subsequent rules. For example, if the bar code size is important, it
should be checked before any rules that might change the size are applied.

5.11 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 deter-
mine how SNMP operates, the type of access allowed and so on.
All Psion Teklogix products support the TEKLOGIX-GENERIC-MIB—a MIB that defines
some common features across Psion 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 7545 product
supports SNMPv1 (RFC 1157).

Intermediate Driver Support
The 7545 employs a custom intermediate driver that is used to indicate radio transmission
and reception on its LEDs. As well, the intermediate driver is employed to support the Psion
Teklogix 802.IQ v1 protocol. This TweakIt option is included to allow the driver to be dis-
abled in cases where it interferes with third party drivers or security supplicants. By
disabling the intermediate driver the Rx/Tx LEDs will no longer illuminate.
Important: If 802.IQ v1 is required, this driver must not be disabled.

5.16.1.4 Radio Features
AP Density
This option allows you to determine the signal strength at which the 7545 radio will begin
searching for a new Access Point (AP): High, Medium or Low. If, for example, this option is
set to High, the radio will begin searching for a new Access Point while still at a fairly strong
signal strength. Setting AP Density to Low will cause the radio to wait until the signal
strength is significantly low before attempting to connect to another Access Point.
Depending on your site configuration—for example, the shelving, the Access Point cover-
age, etc.—a higher setting may improve through-put, increase and maintain signal strength,
and reduce missed transmissions.
Radio Power Management
When this option is enabled, access points that support it will use Radio Power Management
guidelines to control the client (7545) radio. Access points determine how often the 7545
radio enters sleep mode when no activity is detected to reduce power consumption on the
client side. Another benefit is that when Radio Power Management is enabled, even when
no activity is detected, the access point does not disassociate the 7545 (client).

•EAP-Type & Encryption: Security settings. These settings allow you to enhance the
security of data across the wireless LAN. Refer to “EAP Credentials” on page B-7 and
‘SCU Security Capabilities’ below, for details about these settings.
B.1.2.1 SCU Security Capabilities
The SCU provides integrated security to protect transmitted data as well as the 7545 and
wireless WAN infrastructure that transmit and receive data.
A foundational element of the IEEE 802.11i WLAN security standard is IEEE 802.1X and a
critical application on a mobile device is an 802.1X supplicant. This supplicant provides an
interface between the radio and the operating system and supports the authentication and en-
cryption elements required for 802.11i, also known as Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2), as
well as predecessors such as WPA and WEP. Summit software includes an integrated suppli-
cant that supports a broad range of security capabilities, including:
• 802.1X authentication using pre-shared keys or an EAP type, required for WPA2 and
WPA.
• Data encryption and decryption using WPA2 AES, WPA TKIP or WEP.
Common EAP types include:
•EAP-TLS: Uses the same technology as a follow-on to Secure Socket Layer (SSL). It
provides strong security, but relies on client certificates for user authentication.
Credentials Authentication credentials for the
selected EAP type.
Refer to “EAP Credentials” on
page B-7.
User: Username or Domain/User-
name (up to 64 characters).
Password: up to 64 characters.
For PEAP: CA Cert–CA server
certificate filename.
None
Encryption Type of encryption used to protect
transmitted data.
None, Manual WEP, Auto WEP
(generated during EAP authenti-
cation), WPA PSK, WPA TKIP,
WPA2 PSK, WPA2 TKIP, WPA2
AES, CCKM TKIP.
For Manual WEP: Up to four
static WEP keys.
For PSK: ASCII passphrase or
hex PSK.

•PEAP: Provides secure user authentication by using a TLS tunnel to encrypt EAP traf-
fic. Two different inner methods are used with PEAP:
- EAP-MSCHAPV2, resulting in PEAP-MSCHAP: This is appropriate for use against
Windows Active Directory and domains.
- EAP-GTC, resulting in PEAP-GTC: This is for authentication with one-time pass-
words (OTPs) against OTP databases such as SecureID.
•LEAP: Is an authentication method for use with Cisco WLAN access points. LEAP
does not require the use of server or client certificates. LEAP supports Windows Active
Directory and domains but requires the use of strong passwords to avoid vulnerability to
offline dictionary attacks.
•EAP-FAST: Is a successor to LEAP and does not require strong passwords to protect
against offline dictionary attacks. Like LEAP, EAP-FAST does not require the use of
server or client certificates and supports Windows Active Directory and domains.
B.1.2.2 SCU EAP Types
The following EAP types are supported by the integrated supplicant and can be configured
in SCU: PEAP-MSCHAP, PEAP-GTC, LEAP and EAP-FAST. With each of these four
types, if authentication credentials are not stored in the profile, you will be prompted to enter
credentials the first time the radio attempts to associate to an access point that supports
802.1X (EAP).
Consider the following when configuring one of the EAP types:
•PEAP-GTC: SCU supports static (login) passwords only.
•LEAP: Strong passwords are recommended.
•EAP-FAST: SCU supports automatic, not manual, PAC provisioning.
EAP-TLS will work with an 802.11a/b/g radio module when Windows Zero Config (WZC)
rather than the SCU is used to configure the type. With WZC, the native Windows supplicant
instead of the SCU integrated supplicant is used.
B.1.2.3 EAP Credentials
Keep the following in mind when defining security settings:
• If the credentials specified in the profile are incorrect and that profile is used, the
authentication fails without an error message; you will not be prompted to enter
correct credentials.
Note: PEAP and EAP-TLS require the use of Windows facilities for the configuration of
digital certificates.

• If the credentials are not specified in the profile, when the radio tries to associate using
that profile, you will be prompted to enter the credentials.
• When prompted, you can enter valid credentials, enter invalid credentials, or cancel
the operation.
- If you enter valid credentials and tap OK, the radio will associate and authenticate.
- If you enter invalid credentials and tap on OK, the radio will associate but will not
authenticate; you will be prompted again to enter credentials.
- If you tap on Cancel or clear the credentials fields and tap on OK, the radio will not
attempt to associate with that profile until you perform one of the following actions
(while the profile is the active profile):
- Cause the 7545 to go through a power cycle or suspend/resume.

- Modify the Profile, and tap on Commit.
Alternatively, you can choose another profile as the active profile and then switch back to
the profile for which EAP authentication was cancelled.
B.1.2.4 ThirdPartyConfig
If you choose to configure ThirdPartyConfig, the SCU will work with the operating sys-
tem’s Windows Zero Config (WZC) to configure radio and security settings for the CF radio
installed in the unit.
Choosing this profile means that WZC must be used to define the following radio and secu-
rity options: SSID, Auth Type, EAP Type, and Encryption.The SCU settings for
ThirdPartyConfig include: Client Name, Power Save, Tx Power, Bit Rate, and Radio Mode.
These SCU settings along with SCU global settings and the WZC settings will be applied to
the radio module.

C.1 Bar Code Settings
The Teklogix Scanners icon in the Control Panel provides dialog boxes in which you can
tailor bar code options and choose the bar codes your scanner will recognize.
The parameters are preset with the default settings of the decoded scanner installed in the
unit. For a listing of available scanners and their specifications, please refer to Chapter 7:
“Specifications”.
C.1.1 Scanner Options
The drop-down menu to the right of the Scanner option allows you to choose configurations
for one of the following scanner types, depending on what is installed in/on your hand-held:
Decoded (internal), Decoded (Intermec ISCP), Imager, and Non-decoded.
The symbologies listed change to reflect the scanner you choose and the bar codes it sup-
ports. Always defer to your bar code scanner’s programming manual when in doubt about
the availability or settings for any parameter.
Note: Your 7545 comes preconfigured from the factory for internal scanner types. The
type of scanner installed can be determined from the System icon in the Control
Panel, under the System Properties tab.

Restoring Default Settings
Keep in mind that some bar code types are only available when an internal imaging scanner
is installed. All internal scanners can be configured using these dialog boxes. External, non-
decoded scanners are also configured through the Scanner Properties dialog box.
However, external decoded scanners must be configured by scanning special configuration
bar codes. In these cases, the scanner manufacturer provides programming manuals for con-
figuration purposes.
• For the Symbol LS3408 decoded scanner, refer to the programming guide supplied with
your scanner.
•For PowerScan

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. When you double-tap
on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can enter a value of 0 msec, 200
msec or 400 msec. A value of 0 (zero) disables the target dot.
Aim Duration
This parameter determines the total time the aiming pattern appears before the scanner laser
begins sweeping. When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which
you can enter a value from 0 to 30 (0 to 3 sec.). A value of 0 (zero) disables the aiming-dot.
Laser On Time
The value assigned to this parameter determines how long the laser will remain on when the
scan button or trigger is pressed.
Double-tapping on this parameter displays a dialog box in which you can enter a value
between 5 and 99, each number representing 0.1 seconds.
C.2.2 Decoded (Internal) Advanced Options
Continuous Scan Mode
Setting this parameter to on keeps the laser on and continuously decoding as long as the
scanner button is pressed and held down.
Minimum Cancel Time
The value assigned to this parameter determines the time delay before the scanner is turned
off, once the scanner trigger or button is released. This gives the scanner a minimum amount
of time to complete its current decode before the scan is cancelled when you quickly trigger
on/off.
Power Mode
This parameter is a power-saving option. Tapping on it displays a screen listing two power
mode options: Continuous Power and Low Power.
In Continuous Power mode, the scanner is always on, waiting for a trigger pull or a serial
communication.
In Low Power mode, the scanner is in a standby state, drawing minimal power until a trigger
pull or serial communication wakes it. Keep in mind that while this option is more suitable
Preliminary Draft 3

Appendix C: Bar Code Settings
Decoded (Internal) Scanners
Decoded (Internal) Advanced Options
for battery powered applications, there will be a slight delay while the scanner powers up to
scan a bar code.
Low Power Timeout
To extend laser life, you can select the time the scanner remains active following a success-
ful decode. The scanner wakes from low power mode when a bar code is scanned—a
successful decode restores normal blinking.
This is only used if the unit’s Trigger Mode has been changed to Continuous On. If the
unit is used in a fixed mount this parameter might be used, but not if the unit is used as
a hand-held.
When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can choose a
value of 30 sec., 1 min., 2 min. or 3 min.
Parameter Scanning
Setting this parameter to on enables decoding of parameter bar codes.
Linear Security Level
This parameter allows you to select the security level appropriate for your bar code quality.
There are four levels of decode security for linear code types (e.g., Code 39,
Interleaved 2 of 5). Higher security levels should be selected for decreasing levels of bar
code quality. As security levels increase, the scanner’s decode speed decreases.
Double-tapping on this parameter displays a dialog box in which you can enter a value from
1 to 4.
Linear security level 1 specifies that the following code types must be successfully read
twice before being decoded:
Linear security level 2 specifies that all types of codes must be successfully read twice
before being decoded.
Note: This parameter is only used if the Trigger Mode has been set to Continuous On and
the 7545 is mounted in a fixed position; otherwise, ‘Low Power Timeout’ is not used.

Linear security level 3 specifies that code types other than the following must be success-
fully read twice before being decoded. The following codes must be read three times:
Linear security level 4 requires that all code types be successfully read three times before
being decoded.
Bi-Direction Redundancy
When this parameter is enabled, a bar code must be successfully scanned in both directions
(forward and reverse) before being decoded.
Scan Angle
This option allows you to choose from two scan angles: Normal Angle or Alternate Angle.
Choosing Normal Angle allows the normal operation for scanning long range and short
range. Choosing Alternate Angle widens the beam to allow scanning of long bar codes at
short range but at the cost of long range scanning.
C.2.3 Decoded (Internal) 2D Scanning Options
Scanning Mode
When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can choose
one of the following scanning modes: Smart Raster, Always Raster, Programmable Raster,
Slab Pattern, Cyclone Pattern, or Semi-Omni Pattern.
Raster Height And Raster Expand Rate
These parameters determine the laser pattern’s height and rate of expansion.
Code Type Length

choose a data format: data (as-is), data [S1], data [S2], data [S1][S2], [P] data, [P] data
[S1], [P] data [S2] and [P] data [S1][S2].
Prefix [P], Suffix [S1] And Suffix [S2]
A prefix and/or one or two suffixes may be appended to scan data for use in data editing.
When you double-tap on these parameters, dialog boxes are displayed in which you can
enter a value from 0 to 255.
Delete Char Set ECIs
Setting this parameter to on enables the scanner to delete any escape sequences representing
Character Set ECIs (Extended Channel Interpretations [also known as GLIs]) from its buffer
before transmission.
When this parameter is enabled, the scanner transmits data from PDF417 and MicroPDF417
bar codes containing Character Set ECIs, even when the ECI Protocol is disabled.
ECI Decoder
Setting this parameter to on enables the scanner to interpret any Extended Channel Interpre-
tations (ECIs) supported by the scanner. This parameter has no effect on symbols that were
not encoded using ECIs.
If this parameter is set to off and a symbol that was encoded using an ECI escape is scanned,
the scanner transmits the ECI escape followed by the uninterpreted data.

or Two discrete lengths. The length of a code refers to the number of characters (i.e., human
readable characters), including check digit(s).
Double-tapping on these parameters displays dialog boxes labelled Set Code Lengths where
you can define the code length that will be decoded by your scanner.
Note: “Trioptic Code 39” and “Full ASCII” should not be enabled simultaneously. The
scanner does not automatically discriminate between these two symbologies.
Note: “Code 39” must be enabled in order for this parameter to function.

range from 2 to 55.
Check Digit Verification
When this parameter is enabled, the integrity of a “Code 39” symbol is checked to ensure
that it complies with specified algorithms.
Transmit Check Digit
If the check digit is to be transmitted with the data, this parameter must be enabled.
Full ASCII
If this parameter is enabled, 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.

Decode Perf. Level
This parameter provides three levels of decode performance or “aggressiveness” for Code
39 symbols. Increasing the performance level reduces the amount of required bar code ori-
entation—this is useful when scanning very long and/or truncated bar codes. Keep in mind
that increased levels reduce decode security.
When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can enter a
decode performance level of between 1 and 3.
Length Restriction
The parameters in this sub-menu allow you to define the length of the bar codes that will be
decoded using either the Field Size parameter or the Minimum Size and Maximum Size pa-
rameters (see below). The order of operation to either match the Field Size or determine if
the length falls between the Minimum Size and Maximum Size is as follows:
• Strip the leading and trailing characters.
• Add the prefix and suffix characters.
• Count the number of characters remaining to either match the field size or determine if
the length falls between the minimum and maximum size.
Field Size
When a value is assigned for this parameter, only bar codes that match the field size exactly
can be transmitted. If a value is assigned to this parameter, a Minimum Size and Maximum
Size value is not required.
Minimum Size And Maximum Size
When a value is assigned to these parameters, only bar code lengths that fall between the
minimum and maximum value can be decoded. If values are assigned to these parameters, a
Field Size value is not required.

Decode Performance
If this parameter is set to on, one of three decode levels assigned to the Decode Performance
Level parameter can be selected.
Decode Perf. Level
This parameter provides three levels of decode performance or “aggressiveness” for Code
128 symbols. Increasing the performance level reduces the amount of required bar code ori-
entation, allowing you to scan at an angle horizontal to the bar code. This is useful when
scanning very long and/or truncated bar codes. Keep in mind that increased levels reduce
decode security. There is a limitation that it can only be used with one fixed length.
When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can enter a
decode performance level of between 1 and 3.

Continuous Scan Mode
Setting this parameter to on keeps image capture active and continuously decoding as long
as the scanner button is pressed and held down.
Center Barcode Only
When more than one bar code is visible in a single snap shot, this parameter allows you to
specify that only the centre image within the imager framing marker be read. When this pa-
rameter is set to on, the target dot is pointed at the centre image and only that image is
returned.
Max Number Barcodes
Specifies the maximum number of bar codes the imager attempts to decode in an image. A
maximum of 6 bar codes can be decoded at one time.
Barcodes Must Decode
This parameter specifies the minimum number of bar codes that the imager must decode in
order to report success.
Window Width
“Window Width” determines the width of the captured image in pixels.
Window Height
This parameter determines the height of the captured image in pixels.
Note: This parameter must be disabled when reading Composite bar codes.
Note: This number must be less than the number of bar codes assigned to Max Number
Barcodes. The driver validates and reassigns the value if necessary.
Note: The driver will validate and reassign the value assigned to this parameter, if neces-
sary; the driver will also use the Window Width value to horizontally center the

C.4.2 Imager Advanced Options
Factory Defaults On Reboot
The value assigned to this parameter determines whether or not the driver will restore the
factory defaults to the imager device on the next reboot.
Min Scan Duration
This parameter defines the minimum amount of time in seconds that the imager will scan
when the trigger is pressed and held down without successful decode.
Captures Per HW Trigger
The value assigned to this parameter determines the number of captures the imager device
will take while the imager's internal hardware trigger is held down.
Important: Do not adjust the advanced options without first consulting Psion Teklogix
technical support.
Note: The driver will default the imager device on a ‘clean’ reset, regardless of the value
of this parameter.
Note: The actual scan duration when the trigger is pressed relies on the value assigned to
“Captures Per HW Trigger”, below.
Note: This parameter, together with “Min Scan Duration”, determines the actual scan
duration. When the scan trigger is pressed and held down, the driver starts a timer
based on the value of “Min Scan Duration” and also sends a command to emulate
the hardware trigger. When completed, if the time has not yet expired, it will send
another command to the imager device, forcing the imager to flash again using the
value assigned to “Captures Per HW Trigger”.

Auto Exposure
Setting this parameter to on allows the imager to make automatic gain, integration and illu-
mination adjustments based on ambient light before capturing the bar code. If the
adjustment is insufficient, further adjustments are made automatically before another image
is captured.
Fast Converge
Setting this parameter to on speeds the “Auto Exposure” process. It allows the imager to
rapidly snap a number of bar code capture attempts while finding ideal values for gain, inte-
gration and illumination.
Max Gain, Max Integration And Max Illumination
These parameters represent internal values used by the 2D imager. The “Auto Exposure” pa-
rameter automatically adjusts the Max Gain, Max Integration and Max Illumination
parameters to produce the best bar code read. Keep in mind that “Auto Exposure” must be
set to on in order for these parameter values to be automatically adjusted.
Double-tapping on any of these parameters displays an associated dialog box in which an al-
lowable range is displayed: Max Gain – 357 to 7920, Max Integration – 0 to 65535,
Max Illumination – 0 to 7.
Decoder Timeout
The decoder is a set of algorithms that examine the image and attempt to find the bar codes,
and then turn the pixels into data that the computer can use—this process takes time. “De-
coder Timeout” limits the amount of time the decoder will spend attempting to decode an
image, and forces it to stop and grab a new image, which will probably be easier to decode.
Important: This parameter value should only be changed by qualified Psion Teklogix
personnel. It should be left at the default value: on.
Note: “Auto Exposure” must be set to on in order for this parameter to function.
Keep in mind that while this parameter can improve imager performance, “Fast
Converge” increases battery power consumption.
Important: These parameter values should only be changed by qualified Psion
Teklogix personnel.

Code 39
Adaptive Windowing
“Adaptive Windowing” is an advanced technique used to speed up bar code recognition in
certain applications. This parameter automatically reduces the size of the window to the
user-programmed window size when it successfully decodes (which reduces decode time
the next time it is used), but increases it to the full size window on a failed decode.
Constant Illumination
“Constant Illumination” is used to reduce the intrusiveness of the device’s illumination on
the observer. Instead of the illumination turning on and off every time the device attempts a
decode (2-4 times per second), the illumination stays on from the time the trigger is pulled
until a decode is successful. This feature is useful in low light environments, since it will
also reduce the distraction that the illumination can have on nearby co-workers.
C.4.3 Code 39
Enabled
Set this parameter to on to enable “Code 39”.
Full ASCII
If this parameter is enabled, 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.
Check Digit Verification
When this parameter is enabled, the integrity of a “Code 39” symbol is checked to ensure
that it complies with specified algorithms.
Note: When decoding multiple bar codes in one image, the value assigned to ‘Decoder
Timeout’ should be increased to 200ms/extra bar code after the first.
Note: This feature assumes that you have reached an understanding about how the device
operates in your application, and that, after a learning period, operators will get
used to using the imager in one particular way. It also assumes that a trained oper-
ator will usually only have near miss scenarios.
Note: Only those “Code 39” symbols that include a MOD 43 check digit are decoded
when this parameter is enabled.

for this parameter, an addendum is recognized or ignored.
• Double-tap on Addendum to display a dialog box listing your options.
• Highlight an item, and tap on OK.
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.
Note: Setting “Addendum” to ‘Optional’ reduces performance. It should only be chosen if
at least some of the bar codes being read have addendums.

When enabled, 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 hand-held 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 re-
quired after the initial decode, prior to a bar code being 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 compro-
mise setting.
C.5.2 Code 39
Enabled
Set this parameter to on to enable “Code 39” or off to disable it.
Full ASCII
If this parameter is enabled, 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.

Code 39
Include Check
If this parameter is enabled, the check digit is included with the decoded bar code data.
AIAG Strip
If this parameter is enabled, 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.
Error Accept
If the “Err Accept” and “AIAG Strip” parameters are enabled, all label data without an
AIAG identifier character is accepted. If the “Err Accept” parameter is disabled and the
“AIAG Strip” parameter is enabled, the label data is not accepted.
MOD Checks
This parameter allows you to choose the check digit calculated: MOD 43 Check, MOD 10
Check or None.
• Double-tap on MOD Checks to display your options.
• Tap on a check digit to highlight it, and tap on OK.
If you choose None, a check is not executed.
Transmit Code ID Char
A code ID character identifies the scanned bar code type. In addition to any single character
prefix already selected, the code ID character is inserted between the prefix and the decoded
symbol.
Length Restriction
Refer to “Length Restriction” on page C-14 for details.
Add/Remove Data
Refer to “Add/Remove Data” on page C-14 for details.
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
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.

Addendum
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.
• Double-tap on Addendum to display a dialog box listing your options.
• Highlight an item, and tap on OK.
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.
Important: Before “Addendum” can take effect, the “Short Code” parameter (see
page C-55) must be enabled.
Note: Setting Addendum to Optional will reduce performance. This value should only be
used if some bar codes actually have addendums.
