3 - 8 MC95XX Series Mobile Computer User GuideInteractive Sensing TechnologyThis section describes the functionality of the Interactive Sensing Technology (IST) feature on the MC95XX.The IST supports the following features.•Power Management – manage power by configuring IST to control switching on/off the backlight, control suspend mode of the MC95XX by monitoring motion and orientation.•Display Orientation – switch the screen orientation to either landscape or portrait depending on the MC95XX orientation.•Gesture Input – configure the MC95XX to perform various tasks by monitoring user gestures and reacting to them.•Free Fall Detection – monitors free fall duration and records the time and type of the drop event.Power ManagementThe MC95XX orientation and motion sensitive data can be used as an indicator of MC95XX usage and can be used to manage the battery power of the mobile computer. For example, IST can be configured to control the backlight on and off functionality or go into suspend according to a user gesture by placing screen facing down. It can also be used to keep the MC95XX active while it is in movement to prevent it from quickly going into suspend mode while in use.Display OrientationThe screen can be rotated between portrait and landscape modes automatically, depending on the physical orientation of the MC95XX. For example, if the MC95XX is rotated 90° counterclockwise, IST rotates the display counterclockwise 90° so that the screen display appears correct.This functionality is achieved by monitoring screen angle and rotating the display to counter any changes. IST only rotates the screen in multiples of 90°.Figure 3-8 Display OrientationPreliminary
Using the MC95XX 3 - 9Gesture InputGesture detection can be used to determine user intent and acts accordingly. IST can control screen scrolling line-by-line or page-by page according to a user gesture of flick of the wrist whilst holding the mobile computer.Figure 3-9 Gesture InputsFree Fall DetectionIST continuously monitors gravitational force on the MC95XX according to its current position. When the MC95XX free falls, IST detects the absence of gravitational force and records the event data if it detects a free fall more than 450 ms, which may indicates nearly a one meter drop. This data can be used as an indicator of potential abuse or misuse.IST features a log for recording the free fall events. This log records the date, time and the time period of the free fall.Preliminary

Chapter 4 Data CaptureIntroductionThe MC95XX offers three types of data capture options:•Linear scanning•Imaging•Digital camera.Linear ScanningMC95XX with an integrated linear laser scanner have the following features:•Reading of a variety of bar code symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal, and 1-D code types. •Intuitive aiming for easy point-and-shoot operation.Scanning ConsiderationsTypically, scanning is a simple matter of aim, scan, and decode and a few quick trial efforts master it. However, consider the following to optimize scanning performance:•RangeAny scanning device decodes well over a particular working range — minimum and maximum distances from the bar code. This range varies according to bar code density and scanning device optics.Scanning within range brings quick and constant decodes; scanning too close or too far away prevents decodes. Move the scanner closer and further away to find the right working range for the bar codes being scanned. NOTE To perform data capture, a scanning enabled application must be installed on the MC95XX. A sample scanning application can be downloaded from the Motorola Support Central site at http://www.motorola.com/enterprisemobility/support.Preliminary
4 - 2 MC95XX Series Mobile Computer User Guide•AngleScanning angle is important for promoting quick decodes. When laser beams reflect directly back into the scanner from the bar code, this specular reflection can “blind” the scanner.To avoid this, scan the bar code so that the beam does not bounce directly back. But don’t scan at too sharp an angle; the scanner needs to collect scattered reflections from the scan to make a successful decode. Practice quickly shows what tolerances to work within.•Hold the MC95XX farther away for larger symbols.•Move the MC95XX closer for symbols with bars that are close together.Linear Scanning1. Ensure that a scan enabled application is loaded on the MC95XX.2. Aim the exit window at the bar code.Figure 4-1 Linear Scanning3. Press the scan button. Ensure the red scan beam covers the entire bar code. The Decode LED lights red to indicate that scanning is in process, then lights green and a beep sounds, by default, to indicate the bar code was decoded successfully.Figure 4-2 Linear Scanner Aiming PatternImagingMC95XX with an integrated imager have the following features:•Omnidirectional reading of a variety of bar code symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal, PDF417, and 2D matrix code types.•The ability to capture and download images to a host for a variety of imaging applications.•Advanced intuitive laser aiming for easy point-and-shoot operation.NOTE Scanning procedures depend on the application and MC95XX configuration. An application may use different scanning procedures from the one listed above.IncorrectCorrectPreliminary
Data Capture 4 - 3The imager uses digital camera technology to take a digital picture of a bar code, stores the resulting image in its memory, and executes state-of-the-art software decoding algorithms to extract the data from the image.Operational ModesMC95XX with an integrated imager support three modes of operation, listed below. Activate each mode pressing the Scan button.•Decode Mode: In this mode, the MC95XX attempts to locate and decode enabled bar codes within its field of view. The imager remains in this mode as long as you hold the scan button, or until it decodes a bar code.•Pick List Mode: This mode allows you to selectively decode a bar code when more than one bar code is in the MC95XX’s field of view. To accomplish this, move the aiming crosshair center dot over the required bar code to decode only that bar code. This feature is ideal for pick lists containing multiple bar codes and manufacturing or transport labels containing more than one bar code type (either 1D or 2D).•Image Capture Mode: Use this mode to capture an image within the MC95XX’s field of view. This is useful for capturing signatures or images of items like damaged boxes.Imager Scanning1. Ensure that a scan-enabled application is loaded on the MC95XX.2. Aim the exit window at the bar code.3. Press the scan button.The red laser aiming pattern turns on to assist in aiming. Ensure the cross-hair is on top of the bar code.The Decode LED lights red to indicate that scanning is in process, then lights green and a beep sounds, by default, to indicate the bar code was decoded successfully. Note that when the MC95XX is in Pick List Mode, the imager does not decode the bar code until the crosshair center dot touches the bar code.Figure 4-3 Imager Aiming Pattern: Bar Code CenteredFigure 4-4 Pick List Mode with Multiple Bar Codes4. Release the scan button.NOTE To enable Pick List Mode, download the Control Panel applet from the Support Central web site at http://www.motorola.com/enterprisemobility/support. Pick List can also be set in an application using a API command.Preliminary

Ensure that a scan-enabled application is loaded on the MC95XX.2. Aim the camera lens on the back of the MC95XX at a bar code.3. Press and hold the scan button. A preview window appears on the display window with a red aiming reticle in the center. The Decode LED lights red to indicate that scanning is in process.Figure 4-5 Sample Scan Application with Preview Window4. Move the MC95XX until the red aiming reticle is over the bar code to scan. 5. The Decode LED lights green and a beep sounds, by default, to indicate the bar code was decoded successfully.NOTE Imager decoding usually occurs instantaneously. The MC95XX repeats the steps required to take a digital picture (image) of a poor or difficult bar code as long as the scan button remains pressed.NOTE The camera decode feature is set by default to automatically decode the bar code when read.
