The [Arrow] keys move the cursor around the screen in the direction of the arrow: up, down, left and right. The left arrow key should not be confused with the [BACKSPACE] key which is depicted as a left arrow. The cursor is the flashing box or underline character that indicates where the next character you type will appear.The [BACKSPACE/DEL] KeyThe [BACKSPACE] key (represented on the keyboard as an arrow pointing left) moves the cursor one char-acter to the left, erasing the previous key stroke.The [DEL] key ([FN] +[BACKSPACE]) erases the character at the current cursor position.The [CTRL] and [ALT] KeysThe [CTRL] and [ALT] keys modify the function of the next key pressed and are application dependent. Pressing either key twice locks it 'on' (it appears underlined on the Taskbar). Pressing the key once again unlocks it.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, dialog box, or activity.The [SPACE] KeyThe [SPACE] key is represented on the keyboard by a long, low horizontal line contained by a small vertical line on each side.

The [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 func-tion you want modified.Draft #4 for review
Getting To Know Your Omnii 2 - 5[SHIFT] and [FN]The [SHIFT] and [FN] modifier keys provide access to additional keys and system functions. The functions related to these modifier keys are colour-coded in white and blue print respectively above the keyboard keys, dependant on your keyboard format.[SYM] The Symbol [SYM] modifier key is represented on the keyboard by the characters SYM and provides access to commonly used symbolic characters. Pressing the key brings up the Symbol soft input panel (SIP) onscreen keyboard, with symbols mapped to each key. If you wish to adjust the settings for the pop-up screen (e.g. time of delay before screen appears, etc.), modify the file softinputpanel.xml, located in the Windows folder.The onscreen keyboard corresponds to the specific keyboard on your Omnii — either numeric or alphanumeric. Figure 2-2Symbol Soft Input PanelsActivating Modifier KeysWhen a modifier key is pressed, it is shown in the softkey bar at the bottom of the screen, making it easier to determine whether a modifier key is active. For example, if the [CTRL] key is pressed, Ctrl 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.Locking Modifier KeysWhen a modifier key is pressed twice, it is locked on. A locked modifier key is displayed in underlined letters in the taskbar. For example, pressing the [FN] key twice locks it on — it is displayed as an underlined blue FN in the taskbar at the bottom of the computer screen. The same is true of the [SYM] key, which is shown as an underlined orange SYM in the taskbar.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 underline representation at the bottom of the screen is no longer displayed.NOTE When using the Mobile Devices SDK Developers' Guide (PN 8100016), note that the [SYM] key is interchangeable with the [ORANGE] key.NOTE Modifier keys are remapped in Control Panel, and the Symbol SIP will automatically show and use the new mappings after the next reboot.36-KEY Numeric Keyboard 59-KEY Alpha Keyboard[SPACE] KeyInternet Browser KeysDraft #4 for review

2 - 14 Omnii Hand-Held Computer with Windows CE 6.0 User Guide•Scanner Status LED, Sounds, and Vibrations on page 2-15 details how to interpret whether or not a barcode has been successfully scanned. • Barcode Parameters: Appendix C: Scanner Settings.• Imager Settings: Appendix B: Imager & Camera Settings.•Troubleshooting on page 2-15 provides some helpful suggestions should the scan fail.Scanner types include:• Long Range: reads large 1D barcodes (55 mil) at long distances (up to 3m).• Standard Range/High Performance: reads damaged or low contrast regular 1D barcodes (5 - 55mil) at medium distances (up to 1m).• Extended Range: reads regular 1D barcodes (5 - 55mil) at short to medium distances (1m), as well as large 1D barcodes (e.g. 55 mil) at long distances.• 1D Imager: reads regular 1D and PDF417 barcodes at short to medium distances.• EA11 2D imager: reads 1D and 2D barcodes including damaged and low contrast regular 1D barcodes; smallest barcode at 5 mil with a minimum read distance to 2.8 in. / maximum read distance of 5.1 in.; largest barcode at 40 mil with a minimum read distance of 3.1 in. / maximum distance of 32.4 in. • EA20X 2D imager: reads 1D and 2D barcodes including damaged and low contrast regular 1D barcodes; shortest barcode at 6 mil with a minimum read distance of 6.1 inches / maximum read distance of 9.1 inches; longest barcode at 40 mil with a minimum read distance of 5.1 inches / maximum read distance of 49.2 inches.• SE4600LR imager: captures digital images for transmission to a decoder to decode a barcode of any format supported by the decoding software. Uses laser aiming, LED illumination, and CMOS sensors to capture barcode images over an extended range and under a wide variety of lighting conditions.Basic Scanner Operations• Turn the hand-held on. Wait until the unit has booted up completely.• Aim at the barcode 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. Scanning Techniques• Hold the scanner at an angle. Do not hold it perpendicular to the barcode.• Do not hold the scanner directly over the barcode. In this position, light can reflect back into the scanner exit window and prevent a successful decode.• Scan the entire barcode. If you are using a 1D or PDF laser scanner, make certain that the scan beam crosses every bar and space on the barcode, 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 barcode you want to scan.• When using imaging scanners, do not move the scanner while decoding the barcode. Movement blurs the image.• Hold the scanner farther away for larger barcodes.• Hold the scanner closer for barcodes with bars that are close together.Draft #4 for review
Getting To Know Your Omnii 2 - 15Scanner Status LED, Sounds, and VibrationsThe scanner LED (the far right 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 barcode 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 the “Scan Indicator” parameter in the Control Panel>Scanners>Options>Display menu.When the scan is successful, the barcode data is displayed on the screen until the scan button (or pistol trigger) is released, but only if the “Scan Result” parameter is turned on in the Control Panel>Scan-ners>Options>Display menu. You can also enable sounds and vibrations to indicate good and bad scans by enabling those options in the Control Panel>Scanners>Options>Display menu.TroubleshootingIf the scanner is not working, investigate the following:• Is the unit on?• Check that the barcode symbology being scanned is enabled for the hand-held you are using. Check any other parameters that affect the scanning procedure or the barcode.• Check the barcode to make sure it is not damaged. Try scanning a different barcode to verify that the problem is not with the barcode.• Check that the barcode 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 barcode? • Once the scan beam has stopped, check the scanner window for dirt or fogging.Operating One Dimensional (1D) Internal Laser Scanners• Turn the hand-held on. Wait until the unit has booted up completely.• Aim at the barcode 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. IMPORTANT If an aiming dot is available on the installed scanner, the dot will be enabled for a config-urable time period (including off), after which normal scanning begins. Refer to Dot Time (msec) on page C-3 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.Draft #4 for review
2 - 16 Omnii Hand-Held Computer with Windows CE 6.0 User GuideOperating Internal Two Dimensional (2D) ImagersAn imager scanner takes a snap shot of a single barcode or multiple barcodes (at one time). It can find a barcode regardless of its orientation — that is, even a barcode 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 barcodes being scanned. Although the imager includes illumination LEDs, ambient light will help the imager decode the barcodes, especially if the barcode is far from the hand-held.• Turn the hand-held computer on. Wait until the unit has booted up completely.• Aim at the barcode and press the scan key or the trigger. Hold the trigger until a successful 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 barcode you want to scan or in the centre of the area in which multiple barcodes are to be scanned.The illumination LEDs will flash (typically several times) and a picture of the barcode is taken.NOTE When scanning multiple barcodes, ensure that all of the desired barcodes are within the field of view of the scanner. It is possible that even when all barcodes are within the field of view, not all of them will be decoded. Only successfully decoded barcodes are passed to the application pro-gram. The application program then issues a warning, asking that you scan the missing barcodes.When scanning a single barcode, ensure that only the desired barcode is within the field of view of the scanner.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 barcodes, just as glare is an issue for photographers. When pointing at a shiny surface, either shift the barcode to the side or top, or angle the barcode so that the glare reflects away from the imager scanner.Most imagers take several snap shots of the barcode 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. Draft #4 for review

Bluetooth® SetupBluetooth is a global standard for wireless connectivity for digital devices and is intended for Personal Area Networks (PAN). The technology is based on a short-range radio link that operates in the ISM band at 2.4 GHz. When two Bluetooth-equipped devices come within a 10 metre (32 ft.) range of each other, they can establish a connection. Because Bluetooth utilizes a radio-based link, it does not require a line-of-sight connection in order to communicate. It is possible to communicate with a variety of Bluetooth peripherals, including GSM/GPRS handsets, scan-ners, printers, and so on. We provides built-in support for: • GSM/GPRS universal handset•Bluetooth printer•Bluetooth headsetKeep in mind that Bluetooth and IEEE 802.11g radios both operate in the 2.4GHz band. Although the Omnii includes features to minimize interference, performance of the system will not be optimal if you use both radios simultaneously. Typically, when both radios operate in the hand-held at the same time, they cannot transmit simultaneously — this has a negative impact on overall system throughput. To minimize the impact on the backbone 802.11 network, we recommend using Bluetooth peripherals that have low transaction rates (such as printers and scanners).Bluetooth peripherals are configured by choosing the Bluetooth icon in the Control Panel. In addition, review the manual shipped with your Bluetooth device to determine the method used to associate with the Omnii host.NOTE The Bluetooth radio uses an internal antenna.Draft #4 for review

For further details, see Mode on page 3-13.• Once you’ve completed the information, tap on Next and then in the Services screen, click on Done.Servers When a remote Bluetooth device initiates a Bluetooth connection to the 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, the 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 barcode scanners that operate in client mode. SCS opens the server port and handles the scanner input.OBEX OPP server enables the Object Push Profile server. A warm reset must be performed on the Omnii after a change is made to this option.

Every key has a unique scan-code that is mapped to a virtual key, a function or a macro. Scancode Remapping 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] key, etc.), perform a function (e.g. turn the scanner on, change volume, etc.) or run a macro.There are three different tables of scancode mappings: the Normal table, the FN table and the SYM table.The Normal table defines unmodified key presses; the FN table defines key presses that occur when the [FN] modifier is on; the SYM table defines key presses that occur when the [SYM] modifier is on. The default mappings of these scancodes can be overwritten for each of these three tables using the Scancode Remap-ping tab accessed from the Keyboard Properties dialog box.NOTE To add a shifted state, [SHIFT] and/or [CTRL], press [TAB] to position the cursor in the check box next to SHIFT Pressed and/or CTRL Pressed. Press [SPACE] to select the shift state you want to assign.NOTE When using the Mobile Devices SDK Developers' Guide (PN 8100016), note that the [ORANGE] key is interchangeable with the [SYM] key. Similarly, in the context of the scancode mapping tables, Orange is interchangeable with SYM.Draft #4 for review

If the scancode is remapped to a virtual key, that virtual key is displayed in the next column labelled 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).Adding a RemapTo add a new remapping:• Choose the Add button at the bottom of the dialog box.The Remap Scancode dialog box is displayed.• Type the scan code in hexadecimal in the field labelled Scancode.Virtual Key, Function and MacroThe radio buttons at the bottom of the dialog box allow you to define to what the scan code will be remapped: Virtual Key, Function or Macro.

Configuration 3 - 41Suspend TimeoutWhen the Omnii 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 Omnii CPU enters a sleep state, and wireless communication is shut off. The state of the device (RAM contents) is preserved. Pressing [Enter] wakes the system from suspend state. Suspend Threshold and Estimated Battery BackupThe 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 completely 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 hand-held. When the battery capacity is depleted up to the Estimated Battery Backup reserve specified in the Suspend Threshold menu, the Omnii shuts off automatically and uses the reserve power to preserve the data stored on the computer. Once the Omnii shuts down, it cannot be switched on until a fresh battery is installed, or the unit is inserted in a docking station or cradle.IMPORTANT We recommends setting the Suspend value to 3 minutes. To further reduce power con-sumption, carefully consider the duration of time that the display backlight is on (see Backlight on page 3-20).IMPORTANT Selecting Maximum backup time will reserve approximately 20% of the battery capac-ity 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 atten-tion to this parameter. We do not recommend the storage of any valuable data in system RAM.The Omnii Windows Embedded CE 6.0 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, we recommend keeping the Suspend Threshold setting as low as possible to maximize battery run time.Draft #4 for review

The parameters are preset with the default settings of the decoded scanner installed in the unit. You can test the scanner to ensure that it is operating properly by pointing the scanner window at a barcode that your scanner was designed to decode — for example, a 1D UPC barcode or 2D barcode. Press the SCAN key or pistol trigger, and check for a valid decode on the hand-held screen.For a listing of available scanners and their specifications, please refer to Appendix E: Omnii Specifications.

Configuration 3 - 53Double 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 initi-ating a scan.Click DataThis 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.Display ParametersScan ResultWhen this parameter is enabled, the type of barcode 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 IndicatorWhen this parameter is enabled, the laser warning logo appears on the display whenever the scanner is acti-vated.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 param-eter. 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 the 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.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.NOTE To remove the scan result from the screen before the “Result Time” has expired, point the scan-ner away from the barcode and press the trigger.Draft #4 for review
3 - 54 Omnii Hand-Held Computer with Windows CE 6.0 User GuideGood Scan Vibrates and Bad Scan VibratesThese parameters determine whether or not the Omnii creates a vibration when a good (successful) 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 TimeoutThis 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 FileIf this parameter is enabled, the input barcode and the modified/translated output barcode 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.Data HandlingCodepage If you are encountering a scan failure because there is an unrecognized language character in the barcode, the Codepage option may correct the problem by allowing the ISO-8859-1 Latin 1 codepage to be used. The default value is Default Local ASCII. Translations 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 barcode 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 case fails.IMPORTANT Do not change this parameter from the default setting unless you are certain that it will correct your scan problem.Draft #4 for review
Configuration 3 - 55• In the Translation menu, tap on the Case # to create rules.• Tap on the No rule drop-down menu to display the rules.When you choose a rule, an associated screen is displayed in which you can define the rule.Draft #4 for review
3 - 56 Omnii Hand-Held Computer with Windows CE 6.0 User GuideCase RulesThe 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 barcode size. This rule should generally be assigned first, before creat-ing subsequent rules.Translation information about the status of each case/rule is displayed in the scan log file (see Scan Log File on page 3-54) when enabled. This is useful if a case fails, and you are trying to determine why a rule is failing. Ports Figure 3-5Console and Port Replicator Port SettingsWhile you cannot configure the scanner, you can configure communications with a serial decoded scanner using the options in this tab.NOTE Keep in mind that the effects of previously applied rules must be taken into account when creat-ing subsequent rules. For example, if the barcode size is important, it should be checked before any rules that might change the size are applied.Draft #4 for review
Configuration 3 - 57Use these settings to ensure that the communication ports on the Omnii match the settings of the serial devices to which they are connected. If the settings do not match exactly, the devices may not function. Note that some devices can auto-detect serial port settings (such as baud rate), and in this case the Omnii will dictate the settings. Baud rates often have a direct impact on performance — they should be set as high as possible while still ensuring reliable communication.Port Replicator Port A (COM5) and Port B (COM6)Port Replicator Port A (COM5) and Port B (COM6) are standard RS-232 DE-9 DTE ports on the Omnii port replicator module, available on some snap modules and cradle types. EnabledThis parameter must be set to ON in order for the Omnii to recognize the device connected to the Port Repli-cator 9-pin (COM5).Power (COM6 only)Pin 9 on the Omnii COM6 is reserved for 5V power out and is defaulted to OFF. This parameter must be set to ON to enable power to a Snap Module or Vehicle cradle. BaudDouble-tapping on this parameter displays a pop-up window in which you can choose an appropriate rate of data transfer.Figure 3-6Port Baud RatesData BitsThis 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.ParityThis 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 BitsThis parameter specifies the number of stop bits — 1, 1.5 or 2 — used for asynchronous communication.Draft #4 for review
3 - 58 Omnii Hand-Held Computer with Windows CE 6.0 User GuideTrigger On Sequence And Trigger Off SequenceIf 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.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 Triggers 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.Screen RotationThis option allows you to determine how your Omnii screen will behave depending on how the unit is oriented. •Tap Start>Settings>Control Panel, and then tap on the Screen Rotation icon.To Maintain Screen OrientationChoose either the Portrait or Landscape radio button and uncheck the Enable auto screen rotation box.

Your Omnii model type and OS will be identified in the cloning statement to ensure that you target devices of the same type. Give the clone profile a name and location, then tap on Next.• In this menu, select All for a Full Clone, or Selected Options for a Settings Only Clone. If you choose Selected Options, a menu will open to enable you to decide which options you want cloned.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 the profile located in the \Flash Disk\TotalRecall folder. If you store your profile anywhere else it will not be restored. Only one profile can reside in that folder.IMPORTANT The target device for a Full Clone MUST have the same model type and OS build as the source, otherwise problems can occur. For example, if the target device has a newer build of the OS, the new build may have a different set of registry keys that may conflict with the source.Draft #4 for review
