Chapter 2: Basic CheckoutConfiguring An IEEE 802.11 Radio Installed In The 753522 Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User ManualAuthentication802.11 supports two subtypes of network authentication services: Openand Shared. Under Open authentication, any wireless station can request authentication. The station that needs to authenticate with another wireless station sends an authentication management frame that contains the identity of the sending station. The receiving station then sends back a frame that indicates whether it recognizes the identity of the sending station. Under Shared authentication, each wireless station is assumed to have received a secret shared key over a secure channel that is independent from the 802.11 wireless network communications channel.Network Key:This text box is used to specify a 5 or 13 ASCII character sequence or an equivalent 10 or 26 Hexadecimal digit sequence that matches the active WEP key on the access point.• To assign a Network key, press <TAB> to highlight ‘The key is provided auto-matically’, and press the <SPACE> key to disable this option.Figure 2.10 Accessing Network Key And Key IndexKey Index:This field is used to identify the WEP key. • Enter a value from 1 to 4.Disable this option toaccess Network Key &Key Index fields.

Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 35Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535The KeyboardSwitching Off The 7535Important: Keep in mind that turning off the 7535 does not result in a complete reboot; rather, the unit enters a power-saving, “suspend” state. When the 7535 is turned on from suspend state, operation resumes within a few seconds. To switch off the 7535:• Press the <BLUE> key, and then press the <ENTER/ON> key.Important: If the word ‘BLUE’ is displayed in uppercase in the taskbar area at the bottom of the screen, this key is locked “on” – the 7535 will not switch off. Press the <BLUE> key again to unlock it; then press <BLUE> <ENTER/ON> to switch the 7535 off.If, however, you’ve disabled the “Blue Key” in the ‘One Shot’ dia-logue box (see “Keyboard One Shot Modes” on page 94), the 7535 can be turned off even when the <BLUE> key is locked ‘on’.3.4 The KeyboardThe 7535 offers two types of keyboard layouts – a 58-key keyboard and a 36-key, large button keyboard. Most of the keys on these keyboards operate much like a desktop computer. Where a key or key function is not consistent with the PC keyboard, the differences are noted. The <BLUE> and <ORANGE> modifier keys provide access to additional keys and system functions. These functions are colour coded in orange and blue print above the keyboard keys.3.4.1 Modifier KeysThe <SHIFT>, <CTRL>, <ALT>, <BLUE> and <ORANGE> keys are modifier keys. Pressing a modifier key changes the function of the next key pressed. For example, on a 58-key keyboard, a square bracket is printed in orange print above the <4> key. Pressing the <ORANGE> key followed by the <4> key displays a square bracket rather than the number 4.
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535Activating Modifier Keys36 Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User ManualThe <SHIFT>, <CTRL> and <ALT> keys operate much like a desktop keyboard except that they are not chorded (two keys held down simultaneously). The modifier key must be pressed first followed by the key whose function you want modified.3.4.1.1 Activating Modifier KeysWhen a modifier key is pressed once, it is displayed in lowercase letters in the taskbar at the bottom of the 7535 screen. For example, if the <CTRL> key is pressed, ctrl key is displayed at the bottom of the unit screen. Once the next key is pressed, the modifier key becomes inactive and disappears from the taskbar.3.4.1.2 Locking Modifier KeysWhen a modifier key is pressed twice, it is ‘locked’ on. A ‘locked’ modifier key is displayed in uppercase letters in the taskbar. For example, pressing the <BLUE> key twice locks it on – it is displayed as BLUE KEY in the taskbar at the bottom of the computer screen.The locked modifier key will remain active until it is pressed a third time to unlock or turn it off. Once a modifier key is unlocked (pressed a third time), the uppercase representation at the bottom of the screen is no longer displayed.Note: The locking function of the <ORANGE> and <BLUE> keys can be dis-abled so that pressing either of these keys once will lock the keys ‘on’. If you disable the ‘One Shot’ function of either of these keys, pressing the <BLUE> and/or <ORANGE> key once will lock the key ‘on’. Pressing the same key a second time will unlock or turn it ‘off’. Refer to “Keyboard One Shot Modes” on page 94 for details.3.4.2 The KeysThe <SHIFT> KeyThe <SHIFT> key is used to display uppercase alpha characters and provide access to the symbols above the numeric keys.The Arrow KeysThe Arrow keys move the cursor around the screen in the direction of the arrow – up, down, left and right. The cursor is the flashing box or underline character that indicates where the next character you type will appear.
Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 37Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535The 58-Key KeyboardThe <BKSP/DEL> KeyThe <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> KeyThe <CTRL> and <ALT> keys modify the function of the next key pressed and are application dependent. The <TAB> KeyTypically, the <TAB> key moves the cursor to the next field to the right or downward.The <ESC> KeyGenerally, this key is used as a keyboard shortcut to close the current menu, dialogue box or activity and return to the previous one.The <SPACE> KeyPressing this key inserts a blank space between characters. In a Windows dialogue box, pressing the <SPACE> key enables (√) or disables a checkbox.The <SCAN> KeyPressing the <SCAN> key – the yellow key with the star-burst scan symbol on it – activates the scanner beam while pressed. For units that do not have internal scanners, this key is inoperable.3.4.3 The 58-Key KeyboardIn addition to alphanumeric keys that are directly accessible on the keyboard (no key combination is required) and the keys described in this chapter, the 58-key keyboard also provides function keys and macro keys. Function keys <F1> through <F24> can be used with the CE operating system or another application. The additional function keys – <F25> through <F30> along with the macros are not used as part of the Windows CE operating system. All function keys and macro keys can be custom defined for each application. The Tekterm application utilizes these keys. Refer to “Additional Keyboard Functions” on page 147 for details about Tekterm keys.
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535The 36-Key Keyboard38 Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual3.4.4 The 36-Key KeyboardOn 36-key 7535s, all alpha characters are printed on the unit plastic in orange typeface above the numeric keys. To access an alpha character, you must first press the <ORANGE> key and then press the numeric key above which the alpha character you want to type is printed. Because the alpha keys on a 36-key keyboard are laid out much like the letters on a telephone – generally in groups of three letters per numeric key – you need to take a few extra steps to access the alphabetic characters. The examples in this section help illustrate how to access alpha characters.Choosing A Single Alpha CharacterNote: Keep in mind that the following examples assume that ‘One Shot’ is enabled for the <ORANGE> key. Refer to “Keyboard One Shot Modes” on page 94 for details.The examples below illustrate how to access A, B and C, all of which are printed in orange characters above the numeric key, <2>.To choose the letter ‘a’:• Press the <ORANGE> key, and press the numeric key <2>.To choose the letter ‘b’:• Press the <ORANGE> key twice to lock it ‘on’, and press <2> twice.• Press the <ORANGE> key again to unlock or turn it off.To choose the letter ‘c’:• Press the <ORANGE> key twice to lock it ‘on’.• Press <2> three times, and then • Press the <ORANGE> key again to unlock or turn it off.Creating Uppercase LettersTo display a capital letter:• Press the <ORANGE> key and then the <SHIFT> key before typing the alpha character.
Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 39Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535The 36-Key KeyboardChoosing More Than One Alpha Character From The Same KeyIf you need to choose more than one alpha character from a single key, you’ll need to press the ‘Accept’ key between alpha selections. The ‘Accept’ key is presented as an arrow ⇒ symbol above the ‘0’ (zero) key. Pressing this key signals the 7535 to display the alpha character you’ve chosen and await the next selection from the same key. For example, suppose you want to type the letters ‘a’, ‘b’ and ‘c’. These letters are all accessible from the numeric key, <2>.To type the letter ‘a’:• Press the <ORANGE> key twice to lock it ‘on’, and then press the numeric key, <2>.• Press the ‘Accept’ key < ⇒> to indicate that the letter ‘a’ should be accepted and that another letter from the same key will be chosen.To type the letter ‘b’:• Press the <2> key twice.• Press < ⇒> to accept the letter ‘b’.To type the letter ‘c’:• Press the <2> key three times.When you have completed your alpha selections from this key, you can do one of the following:• If you want to choose additional alpha characters from another key(s), leave the <ORANGE> key ‘on’, and press the next numeric key that supports the alpha character you require.• If you do not want to choose any additional alpha characters, press <ORANGE> again to unlock or turn ‘off’ the key and end alpha selection.Choosing Multiple Alpha Characters From A Range Of KeysIf you plan on choosing alpha characters from a number of different keys, you are not required to press the ‘Accept’ < ⇒> key after each alpha selection. The < ⇒> key is only required when you are choosing more than one alpha character from the same key – e.g., ‘a’, ‘b’ and ‘c’ from the <2> key.

In addition, review “Scan LED Indicators” on page 49 to better understand how to interpret whether or not a bar code has been successfully scanned. Finally, “Troubleshooting” on page 50 provides some helpful suggestions should the scan fail.
Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 49Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535Scanning Techniques3.7.1 Scanning TechniquesNote: The scanning techniques described here apply to internal and external scanners.• Hold the scanner at an angle. Do not hold it perpendicular to the bar code.•Do not hold the scanner directly over the bar code. In this position, light can reflect back into the scanner’s exit window and prevent a successful decode.• Scan the entire bar code. If you are using a 1D or PDF laser scanner, make certain that the scan beam crosses every bar and space on the bar code, including the margins on either end of the symbol.• If you are using a 2D imaging scanner, make certain the red, oval shaped framing mark is centered within the bar code you want to scan.• Hold the scanner farther away for larger bar codes.• Hold the scanner closer for bar codes with bars that are close together.3.7.2 Scan LED IndicatorsThe 7535 scanner LED (the lower-left LED) indicates whether or not your scan is successful. The LED behaves as follows:• Scan In Progress: scan LED displays solid red colour.• Successful Scan: scan LED displays solid green colour and turns off when the scan is ended.• Unsuccessful scan: scan LED flashes red.A bar code icon appears on the screen during a scan. While the scanner beam is active, the onscreen message states – SCANNING. If the scan is successful, the bar code data is displayed on the screen until the scan button (or pistol trigger) is released.
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535Troubleshooting50 Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual3.7.3 TroubleshootingIf the scanner is not working, investigate the following:• Is the 7535 on?• Check that the bar code symbology being scanned is enabled for the 7535 you are using. Check any other parameters that affect the scanning proce-dure or the bar code.• Check the bar code to make sure it is not damaged. Try scanning a different bar code to verify that the problem is not with the bar code.• Check that the bar code is within the proper range.• Does the hand-held display the warning without scanning? This suggests a hardware problem in the 7535.• Is the laser beam scanning across the bar code? • Once the scan beam has stopped, check the scanner window for dirt or fogging.3.7.4 Operating One Dimensional (1D) Internal Laser Scanners• Turn the 7535 on. Wait until the unit has booted up completely.Important: If an aiming dot is available on the installed scanner, the dot will be enabled for a configurable time period (including off), after which normal scanning begins. Refer to “Dot Time (msec)” on page 120 for details. Double-clicking the trigger will override the aiming delay and initiate an immediate scan. Note that the aiming dot is standard on long-range and high visibility internal scanners.• Aim at the bar code and press the scan key or the trigger. A scan beam and a warning indicator appear until a successful decode is achieved or six seconds have elapsed.
Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 51Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535Operating Internal PDF Laser Scanners3.7.5 Operating Internal PDF Laser ScannersThis scanner decodes PDF417 two-dimensional bar codes.• Turn the 7535 on. Wait until the unit has booted up completely.• Aim at the bar code and press the scan key or the trigger. The beam expands into a rectangle covering the bar code to properly scan it. The scan beam and a warning indicator are visible until a successful decode is achieved or three seconds have elapsed.3.7.6 Operating Internal Two Dimensional (2D) Imager ScannersAn imager scanner takes a snap shot of a single bar code or multiple bar codes (at one time). It can find a bar code regardless of its orientation – that is, even a bar code printed at a 45 degree angle to the 7535 will be decoded successfully. Note: When scanning multiple bar codes, ensure that all of the desired bar codes are within the field of view of the scanner. It is possible that even when all bar codes are within the field of view, not all of them may be decoded. Only successfully decoded bar codes are passed to the applica-tion program. The application program then issues a warning, asking that you scan the missing bar codes.When scanning a single bar code, ensure that only the desired bar code is within the field of view of the scanner.Because imager scanners generally have a shorter depth of field than laser scanners, some practise may be required to find the optimal distance from the types of bar codes being scanned. Although the imager includes illumination LEDs, ambient light will help the imager decode the bar codes, especially if the bar code is far from the 7535.Important: Keep in mind that the imager scanner is a camera, and the LED illumination is a flash. Glare can be an issue on reflective media such as plastic coated bar codes, just as glare is an issue for pho-tographers. When pointing at a shiny surface, either shift the bar code to the side or top, or angle the bar code so that the glare reflects away from the imager scanner.• Turn the 7535 computer on. Wait until the unit has booted up completely.• Aim at the bar code and press the scan key or the trigger.
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535Connecting & Disconnecting Tethered Peripherals52 Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual• When the scan button or trigger is pressed, a red, oval shaped light (the framing marker) is displayed. Centre the framing marker in the field – either in the centre of the bar code you want to scan or in the centre of the area in which multiple bar codes are to be scanned.Illumination LEDs will flash and a picture of the bar code(s) is taken.3.8 Connecting & Disconnecting Tethered PeripheralsTethered peripherals such as scanners and printers connect to the hand-held computer with a quick release, circular connector. When a peripheral is connected to the hand-held, the 7535 detects the peripheral and loads the necessary drivers for it. An icon in the taskbar at the bottom of the screen provides a visual representation of the peripheral and indicates that it is ready for operation.To attach the peripheral to the round, tether port on the side of the 7535:• Insert the barrel of the plug into the tether port and rotate slowly until it clicks into place. The red dot on the port and on the connector should be aligned.Figure 3.8 Attaching The Cable To The Tether Port
Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 53Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run TimeTo remove the peripheral:• Grasp the shell of the plug, and pull it back gently to unlock and release the connector. Figure 3.9 Disconnecting The Tether CableImportant: Never attempt to disconnect a peripheral by pulling the connector by the wire. The connector is locked into place and can only be unlocked and removed by pulling back the plug shell.3.9 Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run TimeUnder normal operating conditions, fully charged batteries last for 10 hours. As Lithium-Ion batteries age, their capacity decreases gradually, and they are generally considered depleted after approximately 2 years of use (less than 60% of original capacity remaining). Keep in mind however that heavy usage or operating the 7535 at temperature extremes will shorten the battery life. Lithium-Ion batteries do not require conditioning cycles and the 7535 battery system (including chargers) requires no user interaction to maintain peak performance.
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time54 Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User ManualTo maximize the run time of your batteries, consider the following:• The display backlight is the largest drain on the battery. Try to keep its brightness as low as possible.• The hand-held is ‘event’ driven – that is, when the unit is not in use, it reverts to sleep mode (even when it appears to be running), saving battery power. Events include a key press, touchscreen taps and scan triggers. Power consumption is reduced if you avoid unnecessary events, and allow the unit to sleep as much as possible.• The 7535 battery is a ‘smart battery’ with built-in intelligence. The taskbar battery icon is a linear gauge used to estimate the remaining run time of the battery. It is important to note that the battery capacity icon displays quarter percentages of nominal capacity (the capacity of a new battery). An aged battery, even when fully charged, shows somewhat less capacity than nominal. Double-tapping on the battery icon displays a dialogue box that provides detailed information about the battery status and performance. If the remaining capacity indication seems inaccurate, the battery may need recal-ibration. Recalibration requires that the battery be fully charged, discharged and then charged again before use. If the battery is fully discharged and charged on a regular basis, recalibration should not be necessary. • When the hand-held is switched off, it goes into a low-power, suspend state but continues to draw a small amount of power from the battery. This should not be an issue unless the unit is left in suspend state for more than a week – in this case, the battery should be removed.• Batteries left unused for durations of more than one or two months should be fully charged, discharged and then charged again before use. This recali-brates the gas gauge and allows the internal electronics to determine the actual capacity of the battery.• The hand-held can determine when the useful life of the battery has expired and will notify the user. Chargers may reject batteries that have exceeded their lifespan.
Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 55Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535Storing Batteries3.9.1 Storing BatteriesLong term battery storage is not recommended. If storage is necessary:• Always try to use a ‘first-in first-out’ approach to minimize storage time.• Lithium-Ion batteries age much faster at elevated temperatures. Store bat-teries at temperatures between 0˚ C and 20˚C. • Always charge batteries to 40 to 60% before storing them. Batteries can be damaged by an over-discharge phenomenon that occurs when an empty battery is stored for a long period of time such that the cell voltage drops below a lower limit. • To minimize storage degradation, recharge stored batteries to 40 to 60% every 4 or 6 months to prevent over-discharge damage.• A ‘never used’ Li-Ion battery that has been stored for 3 years may have limited or no useful life remaining once put into service. Think of batteries as perishable goods.3.10 Monitoring The Network ConnectionIf your hand-held is equipped with a wireless LAN radio, it will typically associate with the nearest access point. The radio signal quality meter in the taskbar indicates the relative strength of the communication link. To access the radio signal icon from the keyboard:• Press <BLUE> <0> to display the Start Menu.• Choose System Tray from the menu.• Use the <LEFT> and <RIGHT> arrow keys to highlight the radio signal icon in the taskbar.• Press <ENTER> to display the wireless statistics box dialogue box.If you have a touchscreen:• Tap on the radio icon in the taskbar to display the wireless statistics dialogue box.Note: Moving in and out of the radio coverage area can have varying effects on a network session. At times, you may need to renew your connection by logging in again.
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535Uploading Data In A Docking Station56 Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual3.11 Uploading Data In A Docking StationThe Combo Docking and Quad Docking peripherals allow the 7535 to link to an Ethernet network. They are typically used to upload transaction data to a server computer when a radio link in not available. When a 7535 is properly inserted in a docking station, a dock icon is displayed in the taskbar at the bottom of the 7535 screen. The 7535 also detects the presence of the Ethernet network. Review the documentation provided with the user application installed in your 7535 before preforming data uploads.3.12 General Maintenance3.12.1 Caring For The TouchscreenThe top of the touchscreen is a thin, flexible polyester plastic sheet with a conductive coating on the inside. The polyester can be permanently damaged by harsh chemicals and is susceptible to abrasions and scratches. Using sharp objects on the touchscreen can scratch or cut the plastic, or crack the internal conductive coating.The chemicals listed below must not come into contact with the touchscreen:• mustard,• sodium hydroxide,• concentrated caustic solutions,• benzyl alcohol, and• concentrated miner acids.If the touchscreen is used in harsh environments, consider applying a disposable screen protector (PN HU6110). These covers reduce the clarity of the display slightly but will dramatically extend the useful life of the touchscreen. When they become scratched and abraded, they are easily removed and replaced.
Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 57Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535Cleaning The 75353.12.2 Cleaning The 7535Important: Do not immerse the unit in water. Dampen a soft cloth with mild detergent to wipe the unit clean.• Use only mild detergent or soapy water to clean the hand-held unit.• Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents or strong chemicals for cleaning. The 7535 has a plastic case that is susceptible to harsh chemicals. The plastic is partially soluble in oils, mineral spirits and gasoline. The plastic slowly decomposes in strong alkaline solutions.• To clean ink marks from the keypad and touchscreen, use isopropyl alcohol.

An equivalent keyboard shortcut is also available for every ‘point and click’ action.Windows CE supports the same ‘point and click’ user interface and keyboard shortcuts as desktop Windows with one difference – the ‘point and click’ action is accomplished using a touchscreen rather than a mouse. Actions can be performed using any combination of keyboard shortcuts or touchscreen tapping (provided your 7535 is equipped with a touchscreen).4.1.1 Navigating Using A Touchscreen And StylusNote: If the touch screen is not registering your screen taps accurately, the touchscreen may need recalibration. Refer to “Calibrating The Touch-screen” on page 41.A touchscreen is an optional feature. A 7535 equipped with a touchscreen has a stylus – a pointing tool that looks like a pen – stored in a slot at the top of the 7535. The stylus is used to select objects on the touchscreen.Note: To prevent damage to the touchscreen, use only the stylus (pen) supplied with your 7535.To open a file, launch an applet or open a folder:• Double-tap the stylus on the appropriate icon.

5.7 Scanner Properties SetupThe Teklogix Scanners icon in the Control Panel provides dialogue boxes in which you can tailor bar code options and choose the bar codes your scanner will recognize.5.7.1 Scanner OptionsFigure 5.45 Bar Code OptionsTo display the sub-menus available in the Options tab:• Highlight the option you want to work with, and press the right <ARROW> key.To change a parameter:• Highlight the parameter and press the <RIGHT> arrow key, or press the <SPACE> key.If a field requires text entry, a text field is displayed in which you can type the appropriate value.Display ParametersScan ResultWhen this parameter is enabled (set to ‘ON’), the type of bar code and the result of the scan appear on the screen. Note that this information is only displayed after a successful decode and is visible only while the scanner trigger is pressed. When the trigger is released, this information is cleared from the screen.
Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 119Chapter 5: ConfigurationScanner OptionsScan IndicatorWhen this parameter is enabled (set to ‘ON’), the laser warning logo appears on the display whenever the scanner is activated.Scan Result Time (sec)The value assigned to the “Scan Result Time (sec)” parameter determines how long the scan results of a successful scan are displayed on the screen. Time is measured in seconds, and a value of “0” (zero) disables the parameter.Note: To remove the scan result from the screen before the “Result Time” has expired, point the scanner away from the bar code and press the trigger.Scan BeepThis parameter determines whether or not the 7535 emits an audible scanner ‘beep’ when a scan is performed. Set this parameter to either ‘ON’ to enable the beeper or ‘OFF’ to disable it.Scan Log FileIf this parameter is enabled, the input barcode and the modified/translated output bar code are logged in the file \Flash Disk\ScanLog.txt. Keep in mind that if the ‘Scan Log File’ is enabled, there is a slight performance effect when performing multiple scans since the log file is written to persistent storage.Double Click ParametersClick Time (msec)This parameter controls the maximum gap time (in milliseconds) for a double-click. If the time between the first and second clicks of the scanner trigger is within this time, it is considered a double-click. The allowable range is 0 to 1000. A value of zero disables this feature.A double-click produces different results depending on whether or not a value is assigned in the “Click Data” parameter. When a value is not assigned for the “Click Data”, double-clicking the scanner trigger overrides the target dot delay set in the “Dot Time” parameter and initiates a normal scan sweep. If a value is assigned for the “Click Data” parameter, double-clicking the scanner trigger inserts the “Click Data” value rather than initiating a scan.
Chapter 5: ConfigurationScanner Options120 Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User ManualClick DataFor both integrated and external scanners, this parameter determines which character is sent to the application installed in your 7535 following a double-click. A dialogue box appears, asking that you press the key you want to insert. The ASCII/Unicode key value of the keypress is displayed. Pressing the <ESC> key in this dialogue box resets the data to zero.OptionsDot Time (msec)The value selected for “Dot Time (msec)” determines (in milliseconds) how long the targeting dot remains on before the scanner switches to a normal scan sweep. The allowable values are: 0, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 seconds. A value of 0 (zero) disables the target dot.Short CodeWhen enabled (set to ‘ON’), this parameter allows scanning of short I 2 of 5 bar codes (2 characters). When disabled, these short bar codes are rejected.Enabling “Short Code” may reduce the robustness of the decoding since the 7535 must decode more potential bar codes; it is therefore not recommended for general-purpose bar codes with 4 or more characters.VerifyThe value entered for this parameter determines the number of correct additional decodes required after the initial decode before a bar code is accepted. Higher values significantly increase the time it takes to decode a bar code but also improve the reliability of the decoded bar code.SecurityThis parameter controls the tolerance for decoding edge-to-edge bar codes (Code 93, Code 128, UPC/EAN). Lower values have a lower tolerance for misreads, but they also increase the time it takes to decode the bar code. The default value of 30 is generally a good compromise setting.

To work with a sub-menu:• Highlight the bar code you want to work with, and press the <RIGHT> arrow key to display the sub-menu.• Use the <UP> and <DOWN> arrow keys to highlight a parameter. • To change a parameter value, press <SPACE> or the <RIGHT> arrow key. If a field requires text entry, a text box is displayed in which you can enter the appropriate value.5.7.2.1 Code 39 SettingsFull AsciiIf this parameter is enabled (set to ‘ON’), the characters +, %, and / are used as escape characters. The combination of an escape character and the next character is converted to an equivalent ASCII character.Include CheckIf this parameter is enabled (set to ‘ON’), the check digit is included with the decoded bar code data.
Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 123Chapter 5: ConfigurationCode 39 SettingsAIAG StripIf this parameter is enabled (set to ‘ON’), the AIAG data identifier is removed from each decoded Code 39 label. The data identifier occurs in the first position next to the Code 39 start character. It can be a single alphabetic character or a series of numeric digits followed by an alphabetic character. This identifier defines the general category or specific use of the data contained in the rest of the bar code.Note: If your unit is operating with the Psion Teklogix TESS application, this parameter should not be used in conjunction with the TESS AIAG feature. This is because the 7535 hand-held performs the strip function before it processes the data through the AIAG feature; if the prefix is stripped, the data is not identified as AIAG.Error AcceptIf the “Err Accept” and “AIAG Strip” parameters are enabled (set to ‘ON’), all label data without an AIAG identifier character is accepted. If the “Err Accept” parameter is disabled and the “AIAG Strip” parameter is enabled (set to ‘ON’), the label data is not accepted.Mod ChecksMod 43 CheckIf this parameter is enabled (set to ‘ON’), the Mod 43 check digit is calculated.Mod 10 CheckIf this parameter is enabled (set to ‘ON’), the Mod 10 check digit is calculated.NoneIf you choose ‘None’, a check is not executed.Field Size/CharsField SizeThe field size is the length of the field after the first character is stripped and the prefix and suffix characters are added. If the field size is non-zero, only bar codes of that length are passed through.

Chapter 5: ConfigurationSNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) Setup134 Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual5.8 SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) SetupSimple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is the protocol used to monitor and manage devices attached to a TCP/IP network (providing they support SNMP). SNMP uses Management Information Bases (MIBs) that define the variables an SNMP Network Management Station can access. Each product has a defined set of MIBs that determine how SNMP operates, the type of access allowed and so on. All Teklogix products support the TEKLOGIX-GENERIC-MIB – a MIB that defines some common features across Teklogix products. All devices also support MIB-II, a management information base that defines the common features of TCP/IP networks. The SNMP Agent software embedded in the 7535 product supports SNMPv1 (RFC 1157).• In the Control Panel, choose the SNMP icon.Figure 5.50 SNMP Icon
