5.6.3 Servers Tab
When a remote Bluetooth device initiates a Bluetooth connection to Omnii, the remote
device is considered the ‘Bluetooth master’ and the hand-held, the ‘Bluetooth slave’. In
order for the remote device to connect to the hand-held, Omnii must offer a service in the
form of a server. The Servers tab allows these services to be enabled and configured. There
are three server services available: Serial, Scanner and OBEX OPP.
Serial server enables the Serial Port Profile server; a Serial Port can be selected from the
drop-down menu.
You can assign either a BSP or a COM prefix from the drop-down menu. BSP (Bluetooth
Serial Port) was created by Microsoft to allow Bluetooth to have its own serial prefix in
order to free up virtual COM prefixes as these are limited and are widely used.
Scanner server enables a Serial Port Profile server and then relays it to the Scanner Service
(SCS). This is used for Bluetooth bar code scanners that operate in client mode. SCS opens
the server port and handles the scanner input.
Note: Even after a Serial Port Profile server is created, an application must open the cre-
ated port before a remote device can connect.
Chapter 5: Configuration

mode, the GPS module is turned off.
5.9.2 Profiles
Tapping on the GPS Profile Selection drop-down menu allows you to choose an appropriate
profile: Default, Automotive or Pedestrian.
•Default profile is a good general profile suitable for most uses.
•Automotive profile is designed for in-vehicle use, providing quick location updates as
the vehicle moves. When the GPS module is set to this profile and the vehicle enters an
area such as a tunnel where satellite coverage is interrupted, it will attempt to predict the
vehicle position.
•Pedestrian profile is designed for those using the GPS module while walking. It takes
into account the slower pace of the pedestrian when mapping the location of the user.
When the GPS module is set to this profile and the operator moves into an area where
satellite coverage is interrupted, the GPS module will not attempt to predict the opera-
tor’s movement.

AGPS (Assisted Global Positioning System)
Psion Teklogix Omnii Hand-Held Computer User Manual 151
5.9.4 AGPS (Assisted Global Positioning System)
To determine your location, a GPS module receives data from three or more GPS satellites
in fixed orbit around the Earth. The GPS module triangulates your location based on the
time it takes for signals to get to and from the satellites. This works well in fairly clear areas,
outdoors for example. However, if you’re attempting to triangulate your location in city
centres where signals bounce off tall concrete buildings or from within a building, the GPS
module will have greater difficulty calculating a fix.
AGPS reduces Time To First Fix (TTFF) and increases the likelihood of finding and keeping
a fix in poor coverage areas such as indoor sites. AGPS downloads satellite ephemeris (or-
bital) data to Omnii periodically through Wi-Fi or WWAN. The downloaded data is used by
the GPS module to speed the process of getting a fix.

Update
•Click on the Update button to download Extended Ephemeris (EE) files from a secure
host on the Internet using any interface that has an Internet connection. These files
contain several days worth of ephemeris (orbital) data that can be used if the satellite’s
broadcast ephemeris is not available.
The Status field above the Update button displays the progress of the download, and once
successfully downloaded, the Status field will read Idle.
Settings
•Click on the Settings button to define the AGPS server connection settings.
The AGPS server connection settings drop-down menu allows you to choose from two set-
tings: Use default settings and Use custom settings.
The Use default settings option is generally acceptable for most applications. Note that aside
from the Update field in which you can choose how long the fix is stored in your Omnii, the
field values cannot be edited.
The Use custom settings option is generally used to configure devices that will have access
only to an intranet rather than the Internet and should only be altered with the assistance of
qualified Psion Teklogix personnel. They will be able to help you configure your Psion Tek-
logix devices and web server to retrieve the ephemeris data.

5.12.2 Options Tab
This tab allows you to tailor the double-click parameters, display, and data handling options
associated with your scanner.
5.12.2.1 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-
sidered a double-click. The allowable range is 0 to 1000. A value of zero disables this
feature.
Chapter 5: Configuration
Options Tab
162 Psion Teklogix Omnii Hand-Held Computer User Manual
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
This parameter determines which character is sent to the application installed in your Omnii
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 keypress is displayed.
Pressing the [ESC] key in this dialog box resets the data to zero.
5.12.2.2 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.
Good Scan Beep and Bad Scan Beep
These parameters determine whether or not Omnii 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.
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.
Chapter 5: Configuration
Options Tab
Psion Teklogix Omnii Hand-Held Computer User Manual 163
Multiple Beep Tones
You can set the audible scanner ‘beep’ to emit a series of three beeps instead of one. Set this
parameter to on to enable the multiple beep tones.
Good Scan Vibrates and Bad Scan Vibrates
These parameters determine whether or not Omnii creates a vibration when a good (success-
ful) scan or a bad (unsuccessful) scan is performed. Set these parameters to on to enable the
vibration. You can set the Number and Duration of vibrations, as well as the Pause between
vibrations. The screen above shows the default settings.
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.

Latin 1 codepage to be used. The default value is Default Local ASCII.
5.12.3 Translations Tab
The Translations menu allows you to define up to 10 cases, each consisting of up to 10 rules

The case rules are defined as follows:
•No rule—ignored.
•Search and replace—replaces all instances of the match string. (Note that this rule
cannot fail.)
•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 163) 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.

Data Bits
This parameter determines the number of data bits included in each asynchronous data byte.
Most devices use 8-bit data bytes. Double-tapping on this option displays a pop-up window
in which you can choose either 7 or 8 data bits.
Parity
This parameter determines the type of parity checking used on the data going through the
port replicator port. Double-tapping on this option displays a pop-up window in which you
can choose the appropriate parity.
Stop Bits
This parameter specifies the number of stop bits—1, 1.5 or 2—used for asynchronous
communication.
Trigg er On Sequence And Trigger Of f Se quence
If a SICK scanner connected to an Omnii port requires a serial stream of data bytes to trigger
the scanner on and another to trigger the scanner off, the Trigger On Sequence and Trigger
Off Sequence parameters allow you to define these serial streams.
Chapter 5: Configuration
Total Recall
Psion Teklogix Omnii Hand-Held Computer User Manual 169
Double-tapping on Trigger On Sequence or Trigger Off Sequence displays a screen with a
hex array of 10 elements.
These parameters work in conjunction with Manage Triggers sending on and off data
streams to the trigger module you assigned. For example, suppose you launch Manage Trig-
gers and choose Decoded Scanner as the ‘module to trigger’. Next, you assign a ‘trigger
key’—for this example, . (period). To define the serial stream of data bytes to control the on
and off function of the ‘trigger key’, enter a hex value in the Trigger On Sequence and the
Trigger Off Sequence fields. When you press the trigger key, the Trigger On Sequence is
sent and when you release the trigger key, the Trigger Off Sequence is sent, turning the
trigger key on and off.

• Next, choose the profile Type you want to create:
-ManualRestore – creates a backup that is manually restored by the operator.
-AutoRestore – creates a profile that automatically restores itself following a cold reset
or a clean reset.
• Finally, if you want to choose another location for your backup file (optional), tap on the
[...] button to the right of the Profile Location field.
• Navigate to the new location, and tap on OK to save it.
• Tap on the (Next) button.
Defining the Type of Backup
Default Backup
Default Backup is selected so that all installed or copied files, database entries, and the Reg-
istry are saved. Choose Advanced Backup if you want to tailor your backup.
Important: Any profile not stored in persistent memory (flash disk, external usb drive)
will be erased during a clean boot, therefore you should store profiles on a
persistent drive.
When performing an autorestore, the program only searches for profiles
located in the root folder of persistent drives. If you store your profile any-
where else it will not be restored.
When there are multiple autorestore profiles found, only the latest is
restored.

Wireless Information Tab
•Ad Hoc And Infrastructure: If you are using an Infrastructure network—one in which
the hand-helds 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 the hand-helds pass data
directly to other Ad Hoc devices without an access point—add a checkmark in the
checkbox next to This is an ad hoc network to enable Ad Hoc.
•Encryption: WEP (Wired-Equivalent Privacy) encryption prevents others from acci-
dentally accessing your network. If you are not using encryption, you can choose
Disabled from the drop-down encryption menu. Otherwise, leave this field as is.
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is a standard for protecting data through encryp-
tion. AES supports key sizes of 128 bits, 192 bits and 256 bits and will serve as a
replacement for the Data Encryption Standard (DES), which has a key size of 56 bits. In
addition to the increased security that comes with larger key sizes, the AES algorithm is
a symmetrical block cipher that can encrypt (encipher) and decrypt (decipher)
information.
•Authentication: 802.11 supports several subtypes of network authentication services:
Open, Shared, WPA, and WPA-PSK. Under Open authentication, any wireless station
can request authentication. The station that needs to authenticate with another wireless
station sends an authentication management frame that contains the identity of the
sending station. The receiving station then sends back a frame that indicates whether it
recognizes the identity of the sending station.
Under Shared authentication, each wireless station is assumed to have received a secret
shared key over a secure channel that is independent from the 802.11 wireless network
communications channel.
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.
•Network Key: This text box is used to specify a 5 or 13 ASCII character sequence or an
equivalent 10 or 26 Hexadecimal digit sequence that matches the active WEP key on the
access point.
To assign a Network key, highlight The key is provided automatically, and uncheck
the checkbox to disable this option.
Important: Keep in mind that Omnii will only communicate with access points that are
configured with the same SSID.

•Key Index: This field is used to identify the WEP key.
Enter a value from 1 to 4.
•Enable 802.1x authentication: 802.1X is the IEEE standard that offers additional secu-
rity for local area networks. It provides authentication for user devices attached to an
Ethernet network, whether wired or wireless. A security protocol packet such as TLS or
MD5 encapsulated in an EAP is used in conjunction with the 802.1X standard to
authenticate users at the MAC layer. Available EAPs are listed in the drop-down menu
next to the EAP option.
To activate 802.1X, highlight 802.1x authentication, and check the checkbox.
•EAP Type (Extensible Authentication Protocol): This drop-down menu lists the EAP
types available on your system. The items in this drop-down menu will vary depending
on your network setup. Keep in mind also that some authentication protocols require
that you select a Certificate. By selecting the Properties button, you will be able to
select a Certificate. “Certificates” on page 95 provides a website that outlines how to
create certificates for your network.
•Saving and exiting the radio setup: Once you’ve completed the configuration, press
[ENTER], or tap on OK.
The connection you created will be listed in the Wireless Information tab as a preferred
network. The radio will search for the SSID and compare the WEP and authentication
information you specified. If there is a match between the hand-held settings and the
access point settings, the hand-held will communicate on the network through the
access point.

C.1 Bar Code Settings
The Teklogix Scanners icon in the Control Panel provides dialog boxes in which you can
tailor bar code scanner configurations 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 (HHP), Decoded (Intermec ISCP, and Non-decoded Scanners.
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: To enable a newly-installed scanner, press and hold down the [FN] key and the
[ENTER/Power] key simultaneously for a minimum of three seconds.
For information on configuring the Options, Translations, and Ports settings, see
“Teklogix Scanners” on page 158.
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.
C.1.2 Restoring Default Settings
If you want to restore the factory defaults after making changes, the defaults can be applied
to a selected parameter, sub-tree of parameters, or all scanner parameters.
• Press and hold on a symbology (e.g., Code 128) to display a pop up a menu.
• Choose Default subtree to reset only the parameters in the symbology you selected, or
choose Default all settings to reset all scanner parameters to default settings.
To reset a single parameter to its default setting:
• Press and hold on the parameter you want to reset.
Note: Your Omnii 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.

• Choose Default parameter to reset the parameter to the default setting.
C.2 Decoded (Internal) Scanners
• Tap on the Scanner drop-down menu, and choose Decoded (internal).
C.2.1 Options
Dot Time (msec)
The value selected for Dot Time (msec) determines (in milliseconds) how long the targeting
dot remains on before the scanner switches to a normal scan sweep. When you double-tap
Note: Some options are available only for specific scanners. Refer to the option names in
this section for scanner model identification.

Appendix C: Bar Code Settings - TBD
Decoded (Internal) Advanced Options
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.
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. The value is measured in tenths of seconds.
C.2.2 Decoded (Internal) Advanced Options
Scan Mode
You can set the method of scanning by setting this parameter to Scan beam only, Aim with
Scan: 1 trigger pull, Aim with Scan: 2 trigger pulls, Aim with Scan on trigger release, and
Continuous Scan Mode. Default is Scan beam only.
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.
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 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
for battery powered applications, there will be a slight delay while the scanner powers up to
scan a bar code.
Psion Teklogix Omnii Hand-Held Computer User Manual C-7
Appendix C: Bar Code Settings - TBD
Decoded (Internal) Scanners
Decoded (Internal) Advanced Options
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 flashing.
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
Omnii 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.
C.2.3 Decoded (Internal) Data Options
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.
When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can choose a
transmit code: None, AIM or Symbol.
Scan Data Format
This parameter allows you to change the scan data transmission format.
Double-tapping on Scan Data Format displays the following options from which you can
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].

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.
C.2.4 Code 39
Enabled
Setting this parameter to on enables “Code 39”.
Enable Trioptic Code 39
Trioptic Code 39 symbols always contain six characters. Setting this parameter to on allows
this type of symbology to be recognized.
Convert To Code 32
Setting this parameter to on allows the scanner to convert the bar code from “Code 39” to

Code 32 Prefix
When this parameter is enabled, the prefix character “A” is added to all “Code 32”
bar codes.
Set Length L1 and Set Length L2
Lengths for “Code 39” can be set for Any length, Length within a range, One discrete length
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.
Choosing One discrete length allows you to decode only those codes containing a selected
length. Choosing Two discrete lengths allows you to decode only those codes containing two
selected lengths. Length within a range allows you to decode a code type within a specified
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.
Note: “Convert to Code 32” must be enabled in order for this parameter to function.

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.
Decode Performance
If this parameter is enabled, one of three decode levels can be chosen in the Decode Perfor-
mance Level parameter.
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.

C.4.9 UPC/EAN Shared Settings
The setting assigned to the “Addendum” parameter associated with this option is shared
across all UPC and EAN bar codes.
Addendum
An addendum is a separate bar code, supplementary to the main bar code. This parameter
provides two options: Not Required but Transmitted if Read or Required and Transmitted.
• Double-tap on Addendum to display a dialog box listing your options.
• Highlight an item, and tap on OK.
When “Addendum” is set to Not Required but Transmitted if Read, the scanner searches for
an addendum and if one exists, appends it to the main bar code. When the parameter is set to
Required and Transmitted, the scanner does not accept the main bar code without
an addendum.

Dot Time (msec)
The value selected for “Dot Time (msec)” determines (in milliseconds) how long the target-
ing 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 from 0 to
3000. A value of 0 (zero) disables the target dot.
Short Code
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.

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.

Appendix D: Teklogix Imagers Applet
Required Applets
Psion Teklogix Omnii Hand-Held Computer User Manual D-3
The Teklogix Imagers applet is used to create, modify, delete, and activate imager settings.
The principal uses of the application are to decode bar codes and to capture images. This
imager services application is used for cameras and imagers to configure linear (1D),
stacked linear, matrix (true 2D) and postal bar codes. A Demonstration Application is pro-
vided to demonstrate how the imager works. Refer to “Demo” on page 71 for details.
D.1 Required Applets
In order to configure imaging, the Manage Triggers applet must be present in the Control
Panel, along with the Teklogix Imagers applet.
D.2 Presets
There are two methods that can be used to configure an imager using the Teklogix Imagers
applet:
• Use a predefined preset.
• Create a custom preset based on a predefined preset.
A preset is a group of exposure and image correction settings. Each preset configures the
imager for a specific purpose such as bar code decoding or image capture.
Presets also allow easier and faster configuration of the imager after power-on or resume
from suspend.
The predefined presets are generic and satisfy most user requirements. A custom preset can
be created for a specific user application, such as: include only specified bar codes, read
only a specified number of bar codes or for reading unusual media.
Every preset belongs to a preset type. The following preset types are available:
Note: The Teklogix Imagers icon is only displayed when the appropriate imager is
installed in your Omnii. If there is an imager installed but this icon is not present,
additional software (ICS) may need to be installed.
To enable a newly-installed imager, press and hold down the [FN] key and the
[ENTER/Power] key simultaneously for a minimum of three seconds.
Important: It is strongly recommended that a predefined preset is used
whenever possible. Each predefined preset contains a coherent
group of settings that are known to work together in the intended
environment. In almost all situations, at least one of the prede-
fined presets results in a satisfactory outcome.

D-4 Psion Teklogix Omnii Hand-Held Computer User Manual
Appendix D: Teklogix Imagers Applet
Predefined Presets
• Imaging for photo capture.
• Imaging for bar code decoding.
• Symbology selection.
At any time, only one preset of each type can be designated as the user-selected
active preset.
D.2.1 Predefined Presets
Predefined presets are built into the imaging software and cannot be changed. The pre-
defined presets allow you to use the imager to perform specified tasks without having to
understand and set numerous variables. In almost all cases these predefined presets
are sufficient.
D.2.2 Bar Code Predefined Presets (Barcoding Tab)
These presets encompass the majority of the most popular bar codes and their subtypes. The
bar code decoding symbology predefined presets define which bar codes can be decoded.
The bar code decoding camera predefined presets determine how the bar code images
are captured.
D.2.2.1 Bar Code Decoding Symbology Predefined Presets
The following presets select groups of similar bar codes for decoding.
My Default
This preset uses the Symbology Settings menu to define the preset. For details about the
Symbology Settings menu, refer to “Barcoding Tab – Configuring Symbologies” on page D-
17.
Factory Default
This preset enables the decoding of frequently used bar codes.
All
This preset enables the decoding of all bar codes that the imager can decode.
Linear
This preset enables the decoding of all the 1D symbologies that the imager can decode.
Note: It is recommended that the default preset be used whenever possible.

Linear and PDF417
This preset enables the decoding of all the 1D and PDF symbologies that the imager can
decode.
Matrix
This preset enables the decoding of all 2D symbologies that the imager can decode.
Postal
This preset enables the decoding of all the postal symbologies that the imager can decode.
D.2.2.2 Bar Code Decoding Camera Predefined Presets
The following presets enable successful bar code image capture in almost all conditions.
Default
This preset works in a wide range of conditions. It is optimized for a normal office lighting
(about 300 Lux).
Low Light
This preset is designed for very dark conditions such as inside a warehouse where the lights
are kept low, or inside an unlit truck. This preset increases either the exposure time or the
gain.
Low Power
This preset minimizes the use of the flash so as to conserve the battery power on the hand-
held.
Glossy Surface
This preset minimizes the use of the flash so as to reduce reflection. This preset is used to
read bar codes that are behind glass, or inside the plastic window of an envelope.
D.2.3 Image Capture Predefined Presets (Imaging Tab)
The following presets enable successful image capture in almost all conditions.
Note: It is recommended that the default preset be used whenever possible.

Max Number of Auto Retry
The value assigned for this parameter governs the number of times the imager will attempt
to capture a bar code if the first attempt fails to a maximum of 99 times.
Decoder Timeout
This parameter determines the maximum time that the decoder will spend searching for
barcode on captured image. The value assigned here is dependent on the type of bar code
and quality of the image being capture. For example, the value may need to be increased to
compensate for larger bar codes with more data encoded or for poor quality images. On the
other hand, the value can be decreased for smaller, good quality images. The allowable
value ranges from 200 to 500 msec.
Perspective Pattern Enabled - TBD
Document perspective correction manipulates a captured image—usually a document—so
that it appears that the camera was perpendicular to the image plane, when in fact the image
was distorted because the camera was at an angle to the image plane. After perspective cor-
rection all lines that are parallel on the original, are parallel on the image, and the image is
displayed as it appears on the original page. When this parameter is enabled,
Single Target Mode Enabled
When this parameter is enabled, the decoder assumes that a single bar code exists in the
image and that it is located in the centre of the image.
Add AIM ID Prefix
The AIM ID (Association for Automatic Identification and Mobility) is an international bar
code identifier. When this parameter is enabled, the AIM ID is inserted at the beginning of
the decoded bar code.

Code 128
Full ASCII Enabled
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 Char
When this parameter is enabled, before data is output, the “Code 39” symbol integrity is ver-
ified based on a parity character that must be present in the code. If the parity character is not
part of the code, the code is not output. Keep in mind the parity character may not be part of
your output setup; in this case, this parameter should be turned off.
Check Char Strip
If this parameter is set to on, check characters – if present – are not output.
