ü Download message from the server:
When you download messages, you need to create two connections: a remote
connection and a mail server connection. The remote connection connects you
and your ISP or network. The mail server connection downloads messages from
your mail server to Inbox on your device. When you select Services> Connect in
Inbox, Inbox starts a remote connection using the connection you specified when
setting up the current mail service. If you are already connected through a remote
connection other than the one you specified in the service, you will be asked if
you want to use the current connection. If you choose not to, you will need to
disconnect from the current connection before you can check for new messages.
Ø Select the Services menu and make sure that the service you want to use
is selected (the selected service has a bullet next to it.)
Ø Select Services> Connect. The messages on your device and mail
server are synchronized: new messages are downloaded to the device
Inbox folder, messages in the device Outbox folder are sent, and
messages that have been deleted on the server are removed from the
device Inbox. Double-tap a message list to open it.
Ø If you read a message and decide that you need the full copy, select
File> Get Full Copy while in the message window or Services> Get
Full Copy while in list view. This will also download message
attachments and meeting requests if you have those options selected in
the Inbox Preferences dialog box. You can also choose to download
![](/img.php?id=731699&img=bg11.png)
5-8
full copies of messages by default.
Ø When finished, select Services> Connect to disconnect. You also need
to disconnect your dial-up connection by double-tapping the icon in the
status bar and selecting Disconnect.
Notes:
l Receiving entire messages consumes storage memory.
l The size column in the Inbox list view displays the local size and server size of
a message. Even when a message has been downloaded fully, these numbers
may differ because the size of a message can very between the server and the
device.
l When using IMAP4 to get Outlook + data, you will see the contents of your
Journal folder. File editing transactions and documents (such as Task items,
e-mail message, and Word documents) attached using drag and drop will appear
as shortcuts on the device. A copy of the document will not be moved to your
device, and the shortcut on the device cannot be used to access the documents
associated with a journal entry to the device, attach the document to the entry
rather than dragging and dropping it. Also, be sure to set your IMAP4 service to
receive full copies of messages, attachments, and meeting requests. For more
information on using Journal, see the Help for the desktop version of Outlook.
ü Working with Message Attachments:
Ø If you receive messages through a remote mail server, in Inbox on the device,
select the Get file attachments and meeting requests (IMAP4) or Get
meeting requests (POP3) setting in the Inbox Preferences dialog box. For
more information, see Set Inbox preferences.
Notes:
l Embedded images and OLE objects cannot be received as attachments
l Embedded messages can be viewed as an attachment when using IMAP4 to
receive e-mail. However, this features does not work if TNEF is enabled so
that you can receive meeting requests.
ü Check attachments status:
Ø An attachment sent with an e-mail message, whether it has been downloaded
or not, will appear as an icon at the bottom of the message in its own window
pane. If you don’t see this pane, select File> Attachments> Show
Attachments. If TNEF is turned on so you can receive meeting requests, you
will not see attachments until they are fully downloaded.
Ø To mark an attachment for downloading in a POP3 or IMAP4 service,
double-click it. The attachment will be downloaded the next time you
![](/img.php?id=731699&img=bg12.png)

ü About document conversion
If an e-mail program is installed on your device and you receive an attached
Word document or template created in Word version 6.0 or later, WordPad will
convert the file on your device. To view the document, simply open the
attachment in your e-mail program or open the file in the WordPad.
During conversion, some formatting attributes may be changed or lost. To avoid
losing these attributes permanently, close the file after viewing it rather saving
the file on your device. If you save the file, save with a different file name.
For more information about conversion performed on your device, see the
following topics.

sheets are removed during conversion to WordPad. WordPad supports
built-in headings.
l Paragraph formatting
Tabs, alignment, bullets, indentation, simple numbered lists, and paragraph
spacing are retailed and displayed in WordPad.

Use this section to program the imager to read machine readable fonts used in optical

OCR Mode
l OCR-A
l OCR-B
l U.S. Currency Serial Number (Money)
l MICR E-13B
l SEMI Font
You can either select an OCR default, or create your own custom template for the
![](/img.php?id=731699&img=bg35.png)
A-22
type of OCR format you intend to read. See "OCR Templates" if you want to create a
custom “template” or character string that defines the length and content of OCR
strings that will be read with your imager.
Note: Setting the template and check character options are essential for OCR
reading.
OCR Off turns off all OCR capability in the scanner, so the scanner will be able to
scan linear, stacked, matrix, and composite bar codes, but not OCR fonts. In addition,
any OCR templates you have created are erased. The 8 digit default templates are
reinstated for any future use of the OCR-A, OCR-B, or U.S. Currency fonts.
If you select OCR-A, OCR-B, or U.S. Currency you can scan characters in that font.
The default setting allows you to scan any 8 digit combination. If you have created an
OCR template, character combinations that fit the template can be scanned (see
Creating an OCR Template).
OCR Direction
The OCR Direction setting can be used to prevent misreads of character strings that
could be interpreted differently in different orientations when you know the
orientation of the characters that are being read in relation to the imager (e.g.,
80086996 could read as 80086996 or 96698008). Default = Left-to-Right (LtoR)
OCR Templates
You can create a custom “template”, or character string that defines the length and
content of OCR strings that will be read with your imager. There are several choices
when creating a custom template for your application. You can create a template for a
single format, you can string together several formats, and you can create a template
for a user-defined variable. These choices are described in detail below.
Creating an OCR Template
A single template allows you to program the imager to read any combination of
characters in the order you specify. Refer to examples that follow the Template
Characters table below.
Template Characters\
a represents any alphanumeric character (digit or letter)
c represents a check character position
d represents any digit
e represents any available OCR character
g represents character from user-defined variable “g”
![](/img.php?id=731699&img=bg36.png)
A-23
h represents character from user-defined variable “h”
l represents any uppercase letter
t marks the start of a new template
r multi row indicator
All other characters represent themselves. Spaces can be used.
Note: In MICR E13 B templates, TOAD characters (capital letters
T, O, A, and D), represent Transit, On Us, Amount, and Dash.
Note: OCR templates default to eight digits, no check character.
To Add an OCR Template
1. Turn on the OCR font you want to read.
2. Begin building the template.
Scan the Enter OCR Template symbol.
3. Scan the characters for the string.
Use the Template Characters chart above to determine what characters you need to
create your format. Use the OCR Programming Chart (after the Sample Codes in
the back of this manual) to scan the characters for your template.
Example: You need to read any combination of eight digits. The template would

To create this template, you would enable the OCR-A font. Scan the Enter OCR
Template symbol, and then scan the d from the OCR Programming Chart in the

Character Match Sequences
On the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), page A-4, find the Hex value
that represents the character(s) you want to match. Use the Programming Chart
(inside the back cover) to scan the numbers that represent these characters.
Example: You need to read three digits, three specific characters (ABC), three
digits. The template would be:

manual three times. Then scan 414243 from the inside back cover (the hex
characters for “A,” “B,” and “C”), and scan the d three more times. Scan Save
OCR Template. This would let you read any string of three digits, “ABC,” then
any string of three digits, for example:
Adding Spaces
You may also need to put spaces in your template.
Example: You need to read three digits, space, three specific characters (ABC),
space, three digits. The template would be:
To create this template, you would enable the OCR-A font. Scan the Enter OCR
Template symbol. Scan the d from the OCR Programming Chart in the back of this
manual three times, and then scan 2041424320 from the Programming Chart on the
inside back covers (the hex characters for “space,” “A,” “B,” “C,” “space”). Scan
the d three more times, and then scan Save OCR Template. This would let you
read any string of three digits, space, “ABC,” space, and then any string of three
digits. For example:
Note: If using Quick*View to program, use the space bar to designate a space and
not the hex value of 20.
4. Exit OCR Template Editor
Scan Save OCR Template to save your entries. Discard OCR Template exits
without saving any OCR Template changes.
Stringing Together Multiple Formats (Creating “Or” Statements)
You may want to program the imager to accept many OCR formats. To do this, you
would string together each format with a “t.” This tells the imager to read optical
characters that match any one of the formats in the template.
Example: You need to read any combination of eight digits, or a combination of four
digits, two uppercase letters, and two digits. The template would be:

Template symbol. Scan the d from the OCR Programming Chart in the back of this
manual eight times, then scan the t to create the “or” statement. Then you would scan
the characters for the second template. Scan d four times, scan l two times, then scan
d two more times. Scan Save OCR Template. This would let you read either type of
format, for example:
You can string together as many templates as you need.
OCR Template Codes
Note: Reading more than three rows of OCR is not recommended. Contact the factory
if you have an application that requires reading four or more rows of OCR.
† One or more two-digit numbers and Save are required after reading this
programming symbol. Refer to the Programming Chart on the inside the back cover of
this manual.

Send Bar Width Data Australian Post is a 4-state symbology
that was designed with a non-defined
user area. The user can define how that
area field is interpreted. Most systems
have dedicated decoders that don’t know
how to decode a symbology that is not
defined. If you select the Send Bar
Width Data, the bar levels will be
outputted (0-3 for the four states) so that
the receiving device can then decode
appropriately.
