1 GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 F732 WIZARD™ TERMINAL DESCRIPTION
For vast majority of small businesses and retailers, the
complete Formula Wizard™ package represents the
simplest and most cost-effective solution for entering the
world of bar code data acquisition.
The Formula 732 Wizard™ (abbreviated in this manual to
F732) portable terminal with its integrated laser scanner is
at the heart of the Formula Wizard™ solution. Fast and
reliable in reading the most common symbologies, it comes
equipped with a handy 25-key alphanumeric keyboard and
has a large display with icons. Data transfer to the PC takes
place by simply placing the terminal into the Formula 952
Transceiver/Charger, which is equipped with a RS232 serial
port, and using Systools™ 2001 - an effective software
utility for transferring data to standard ASCII files.
By using the EasyGen™ software package, developers can
quickly build personalized applications according to the
required contexts by easily creating programs of average
complexity in a Windows environment.

The EasyGen™ Demo Version with five ready-to-use
example applications can be downloaded from the
Datalogic web site free of charge. They cover the most
common operating requirements in data collection, assisted
sales, inventory and goods picking, thus making the
Formula Wizard™ solution immediately productive.
The EasyGen™ package also includes Systools™ 2001
and OLE for Formula, the ActiveX software module that
allows data to be integrated into applications such as Visual
Basic, Excel, Access, Delphi, etc.
Furthermore, the Formula 732 terminals are fully
programmable in C language using DS for Formula, thus
solving even the most complex application needs.

4 USE AND OPERATION
When an EasyGen™ application program is loaded onto
the F732 terminal (either a Demo example or an application
developed with EasyGen™ for Formula) to launch it, it is
necessary to extract the F732 terminal from the cradle and
press <SHIFT> and then the <UP ARROW> key.
If the barcode scanning function has been used in the
application, scanning is possible.

F732 WIZARD™
4.1 LOADING APPLICATION PROGRAMS
If you are using application programs for EasyGen™ (see
par. 1.2 or par. 1.3) refer to chapter 6 of the EasyGen™
User's Manual.
If you are using applications developed with DS for Formula
(see par. 1.3) refer to the "Tools" paragraph in the DS for
Formula Manual.
4.2 BAR CODE SCANNING
Point the F732 terminal laser beam at the code from an
appropriate distance and simultaneously press the <SCAN>
key. The beam emitted by the laser must completely cover
the barcode; the LED (and the acoustic signal, if activated)
will indicate if the scan was carried out correctly.

4.3 DESCRIPTION OF KEYS
Although EasyGen™ for Formula allows assigning
customized functions to function keys, there are some
standard functions common to all applications because they
are implemented in the interpreter software.

key functions.
Every time a key is pressed, the F732
terminal remains turned on for a maximum
of 20 seconds.
ARROW KEYS: only available for the
application when not in “Select or Data
Edit” mode.
Ed.: 06/01
SCAN KEY: activates the laser for
barcode scanning and turns on the
F732 terminal when it is off.
FUNCTION KEYS: keys <F1>, <F2>,
<F3> and <F4> are available for the
loaded application. Function F5
activates the “Select” mode and only
in this mode you can use F6, F7 and
F8 functions:

SHIFT KEY: Enables the entry of
alphabetical characters (written in
white on the keyboard) when followed
by the pressing of a numeric key: for
example if you want to enter the
alphabetical character “A”, you have to
press <SHIFT>+<7>.
The number of times the SHIFT key is
pressed determines the choice of
alphabetical character: for example if
you want to enter the alphabetical
character “N”, you have to press
<SHIFT>+<SHIFT>+<5>, if you want
to enter the alphabetical character “X”,
you have to press
<SHIFT>+<SHIFT>+<SHIFT>+<2>
and so on.
The fourth time the SHIFT key is
pressed, the SHIFT function is
disabled. The SHIFT function can also
be disabled by waiting for a time-out of
2 seconds after being pressed.
22
By pressing the <SHIFT> key followed
by the <RIGHT ARROW> key, the
graphic display’s contrast increases to
the allowed maximum, and then
returns to 0 value.
NUMERIC KEYS: allow the entry and
display of the main numeric symbol. If
the <SHIFT> has first been pressed,
the choice of alternative alphabetic
characters will be activated.

BACKSPACE KEY: deletes the last
character entered.
SPACE KEY: allows the introduction of
a blank space. If the <SHIFT> has
been pressed previously, the choice of

Rechargeable battery packs (NiCd) are not
initially charged. Therefore the first
operation to perform is to charge them in
the appropriate cradle. See chapter 3 and
NOTE
the following paragraph "Charging the
Batteries".

5.1 CHARGING THE BATTERIES
Battery charge life depends on many variables but, under
normal conditions, autonomy is more than enough for a
day’s work.
Information on the battery-charge status is provided by the
dedicated icon on the display
by the icon is valid only when the F732 terminal is not
inserted in the cradle.
Four different charge levels are given from a maximum
value (all the icon segments full) to a minimum one which
warns of pre-low-battery (icon empty and intermittently
flashing).

Recharging should be made after using the terminal until
the batteries are nearly flat.
When the F732 terminal display window
shows the message "BATTERY LOW",
wait until the F732 terminal is turned off
ATTENTION
before inserting it in the cradle.
Recharge the terminal by
simply inserting it into its
cradle; Datalogic S.p.A.
recommends a minimum
uninterrupted recharging
time of eight hours.
When batteries are new, or
have not been recharged
for a long time, it is
necessary to perform two or
three charge and discharge
cycles (with complete use)
before the batteries are able
to reach their maximum
capacity.
NOTE
ATTENTION
26
While the batteries are recharging, the color
of the LED on the cradle changes from red to
green. This switching takes place when 7080% of the complete charge is reached.
If the terminal remains inactive for a
prolonged period such as two weeks, it
is advisable to download all the stored
data onto a computer and extract the
battery pack.
Ed.: 06/01

5.2 REPLACING THE BATTERIES
Before proceeding, ensure that the
terminal is switched off and that the data
it contains has been downloaded onto

To replace the batteries correctly, proceed as follows.
1- Turn over the F732

Dispose of used batteries in accordance
with the relevant laws in force.
NOTE
5.3 CLEANING THE TERMINAL
Clean the terminal from time to time with a slightly damp
cloth.
