MX3X User’s Guide E-EQ-MX3XOGWW-C

Overview

Introduction

The LXE MX3X is a rugged, portable, hand-held Microsoft® Windows® CE .NET equipped mobile computer capable of wireless data communications. The mobile device can transmit information using a 2.4 GHz radio (with an internally mounted antenna) and it can store information for later transmission through an RS-232, InfraRed, or USB port.

The mobile device is horizontally oriented and features backlighting for the display. The touchscreen display supports graphic features and Windows icons that the Windows CE .NET operating system supports. The keys on the keypad are constructed of a phosphorescent material that can easily be seen in dimly lighted areas.

Throughout this guide, an MX3X without an RFID Module is labeled “MX3X”. The MX3X with an RFID Module is labeled “MX3-RFID”. Information specific to one or the other is labeled appropriately. No distinction is made to information that is the same for both mobile devices.

The MX3-RFID version of the MX3X has an RFID module permanently attached to the back of the device. If there is no distinction between directions for the user with an MX3X and a user with a MX3-RFID mobile device, the instruction or information in this guide is the same for both versions unless noted.

This device is a Windows CE .NET compatible computer that can be scaled from a limited function batch computer to an integrated RF scanning computer.

The stylus in the Stylus Kit (shipped with unit) is used to assist in entering data and configuring the unit. Protective film for the touchscreen is available as an accessory.

Note: Until the main battery and backup battery are completely depleted, the mobile device is

always drawing power from the batteries (On).

Quick Start 7

Quick Start

Important

If the mobile device has AppLock installed, please refer to “MX3X Reference Guide”,

“AppLock” for setup and processing information before continuing.

Note: When your mobile device is pre-configured, the radio, PCMCIA card and endcaps are

assembled by LXE to your specifications.

This section’s instructions are based on the assumption that your new system is pre-configured and requires only accessory installation (e.g. handstrap, stylus) and a power source. LXE recommends that installation or removal of accessories be performed on a clean, well-lit surface. When necessary, protect the work surface, the mobile device, and components from electrostatic discharge.

This guide takes you through an introduction to and operation of the MX3X with and without the RFID module.

In general, the sequence of events is:

1. Insert a fully charged battery and press the Power button.

2. Connect an external power source to the unit (if required).

3. If the screen does not automatically display, press the Power button.

4. Adjust screen display, audio volume and other parameters if desired.

Note: Do not connect a tethered scanner cable to a USB-C or USB-H labeled endcap port.

These ports cannot power a tethered scanner.

About Lithium-Ion Batteries

Li-Ion batteries (like all batteries) gradually lose their capacity over time (in a linear fashion) and never just stop working. This is important to remember – this mobile device is always ‘on’ even when in the Suspend state and draws battery power at all times. Use the Start | Settings | Control Panel | Power | Battery tab to check the battery status and power reading.

Always replace the used main battery with a fully charged main battery. The Battery Low Warning LED illuminates red at approximately 35% of power left in the main battery. You need to determine the point at which battery life becomes unacceptable for your business practices and replace the main battery before that point.

Note: Until the main battery and backup battery are completely depleted, the mobile device is

always drawing power from the batteries (On).

8 RFID Introduction

RFID Introduction

Radio frequency identification, or RFID, is a generic term for technologies that use radio waves to automatically identify individual items. The individual items identified/read by a RFID reader contain a tag (also known as an electronic label or transponder). Unlike barcodes that must be read by a beam passing over the barcode, RFID tags do not have to be in the line of sight of the reader before the reader can collect the data from the tag but they do need to be within the established “read” distance from the RFID-module.

See the “MX3X Reference Guide” for further information and configuration.

RFID Reader Scan Range

Small Tag 12 inches / 30 cm Class 0 Tag 2 feet

Large Tag 2.5 feet / .76 meters Class 1 Tag 3 feet

Unlike barcode scanners that require line-of-sight before successfully reading a barcode, the RFID reader does not require line-of-sight when searching for and reading tags. Pressing the RFID Read button on the MX3-RFID starts a 360 degree search “beam” that stops at the limits of the scan range of the RFID reader. The “beam” stops searching when the read timer expires.

Integrated Laser Scanner

The integrated laser barcode scanner can only read barcodes. Tethered laser barcode scanners can only read barcodes.

The RFID module can only read RFID tags.

• COM1 is the RFID module.

• COM3 is the integrated barcode scanner.

RFID Device and LXE Cradles

The MX3-RFID device is too bulky to fit in the standard MX3 powered cradles. There is a passive vehicle cradle available for the MX3-RFID device that secures the device to the cradle only. See section titled “Accessories”.

Main battery charging and host communication is not available directly through the passive vehicle cradle. The passive vehicle cradle does not have LEDs or indicators. It does not accept DC power connection. The mobile device can be directly connected to external power through the power jack located on the endcap. Host communication is available wirelessly while the mobile device is secured in the passive cradle.

The MX3-RFID can be connected to DC Power through the power jack located on the endcap while secured in the passive vehicle cradle. It can also communicate wirelessly with the host while in the passive vehicle cradle.

MX3X User’s Guide E-EQ-MX3XOGWW-C

relating to the power states of the mobile device.

Select Start | Settings | Control Panel | Power | Schemes tab. Change the parameter values and tap OK to save the changes.

Battery Power Scheme

Use this option when the device will be running on battery power only.

Switch state to User Idle: Default is After 3 seconds

Switch state to System Idle: Default is After 15 seconds

Switch state to Suspend: Default is After 5 minutes

AC Power Scheme

Use this option when the device will be running on external power (e.g. AC adapter, cigarette adapter, powered cradle).

Switch state to User Idle: Default is After 2 minute

Switch state to System Idle: Default is After 2 minutes

Switch state to Suspend: Default is After 5 minutes

These mode timers are cumulative. The System Idle timer begins the countdown after the User Idle timer has expired and the Suspend timer begins the countdown after the System Idle timer has expired. When the User Idle timer is set to “Never”, the power scheme timers never place the device in User Idle, System Idle or Suspend modes (even when the device is idle).

Because of the cumulative effect, and using the Battery Power Scheme Defaults listed above:

• The backlight turns off after 3 seconds of no activity,

• The display turns off after 18 seconds of no activity (15sec + 3sec),

• And the device enters Suspend after 5 minutes and 18 seconds of no activity.

Enter Data

You can enter data into the mobile device through several different methods. The Scanner window accepts barcode data entry, the RS-232 and the IR port are used to input/output data, and the keypad and stylus provide manual entry. The RFID module can either read or read and write data.

Keypad Entry

The keypad is used to manually input data that is not collected otherwise. Almost any function that a full sized computer keyboard can provide is duplicated on the mobile device’s keypad but it may take a few more keystrokes to accomplish a keyed task.

Almost every key has two or three different functions. The primary alpha or numeric character is printed on the key.

For example, when the 2nd key is pressed, the 2 desired second-function key the device will then produce the 2nd character. The specific 2nd character is printed above the corresponding key. The 2 finishes (unless when setting volume or contrast – the 2

Stylus Entry

Input Panel

The stylus performs the same function as a mouse that is used to point to and click elements on a desktop computer. The stylus is used in the same manner as a mouse – single tap or double tap to select menu options, drag the stylus across text to select, hold the stylus down to activate slider bars, etcetera. Always use the point of the stylus for tapping or making strokes on the display. Never use an actual pen, pencil or sharp object to write on the touchscreen.

Hold the stylus as if it were a pen or pencil. Touch an element on the screen with the tip of the stylus then remove the stylus from the screen. The touchscreen responds to an actuation force (touch) of 4 oz. (or greater) of pressure.

The stylus can be used in conjunction with the keyboard and scanner and an input/output device connected to one of the serial ports.

• Touch the stylus to the field of the data entry form to receive the next data feed.

• The cursor begins to flash in the field.

• The unit is ready to accept data from either the keyboard, integrated scanner or a scanner

connected to the serial port, if the scanner applet is configured correctly.

The Input Panel icon looks like a keyboard and is shown in the System tray. To show or hide the input panel, tap the Input Panel icon. Use the input panel to enter information in any program.

To scan with the integrated laser barcode reader, point the laser window towards a barcode and press the Scan button. You will see a red laser beam strike the barcode. The laser scanner has an SE923 scan engine.

Correct Scan Incorrect Scan Incorrect Scan

Figure 19 Scan Beam

Align the red beam so that the barcode is centered within the beam. The laser beam must cross the entire barcode. Move the mobile device towards or away from the barcode so that the barcode takes up approximately two-thirds the width of the beam.

Figure 20 Scanner LED Location

The SCNR LED turns red when the laser beam is on. Following a barcode scan and read the SCNR LED turns green and the mobile device beeps, indicating a successful scan.

The laser and SCNR LED automatically turn off after a successful or unsuccessful read. The scanner is ready to scan again when the Scan key is pressed.

Large barcodes can be scanned at the maximum distance. Hold the scanner closer to small barcodes (or with bars that are very close together).

When the scan is successful, the Scan LED turns green, then switches off, and the mobile device emits a distinctive audible tone.

When the scan is unsuccessful, the SCNR LED remains red until the 3 second timeout (default) occurs or the Scan key is released. The mobile device emits distinctive audible tones. Check the following:

• Check the barcode for marks or physical damage e.g. ripped label, missing section, etc.

• Try scanning test symbols of the same code type at different distances and angles.

• Is the scan aperture unscratched and unsoiled?

See the “Integrated Scanner Programming Guide” for barcode samples, default scanning ranges, barcode reading instruction and troubleshooting.

Touchscreen Display

The Touchscreen Display is an LCD unit capable of supporting VGA graphics modes. Display size is 640 x 240 pixels. The touchscreen allows signature capture and touch input. A pen stylus is included. The touchscreen responds to an actuation force (touch) of 4 oz. of pressure (or greater).

Figure 21 Touchscreen Display

There are two types of displays available: transflective greyscale monochrome and transmissive color. The transmissive color display is optimized for indoor lighting. It cannot be used without the backlight. The transflective monochrome display is optimized for outdoor use but may also be used indoors. The monochrome display has an electroluminescent backlight. The color display has a CCFL (Cold-Cathode Fluorescent Lighting) backlight.

The transflective display appears to have a greenish hue when the display is off. The transmissive display appears black when the display is off.

Applying the Protective Film to the Display

First, clean the display of fingerprints, lint particles, dust and smudges.

Remove the protective film from it’s container. Remove any protective backing from the film sheet by lifting the backing from a corner of the film. Discard the backing.

Apply the film to the screen starting at one side and smoothing it across the display. If air bubbles appear, raise the film slightly and continue smoothing the film across the display until it covers the glass surface of the display.

If dust, lint or smudges are trapped between the protective film and the glass display, remove the protective film, clean the display and apply the protective film again.

Display Backlight

The Display backlight is turned on when the unit returns from Suspend Mode. The display backlighting feature is programmable and activates based on power source and amount of idle time before entering the Suspend state.

See the section titled "Set the Display Backlight Timer " in the previous section "Quick Start."

Scan Buttons

Figure 23 Programmable Buttons

There are two buttons, one on each side of the display. The buttons can be programmed to perform specific functions. The programmable keys have no effect on barcode scanners tethered to the device. When there is no integrated scanner installed, both buttons default to Enter buttons (with the exception of IBM 5250 terminal emulation devices – in this case, the left button is labelled and functions as “Field Exit”).

Note: The programmable Scan key is the Field Exit key when the MX3X is an IBM 5250 /

TN5250 compatible device. It can also be programmed as the RFID Read key for an MX3-RFID device.

To edit the button parameters, select Start | Settings | Control Panel | Scanner. Change the parameter values and tap OK to save the changes.

The default setting for the right button is Enter. The default setting for the left button is Scan.

When the device does not have an integrated scanner, both buttons default to Enter keys and the

Scan selection is greyed out.

Each button can be setup as:

• Disabled – no response when pressed

• Scan – initiate a barcode scan sequence (integrated scanner only)

• Enter Key

• Tab Key

• Field Exit (IBM 5250 / TN5250 devices only)

• Virtual Key (default values F20 and F21)

• RFID Read

Field Exit Key Function (IBM 5250/TN5250 Only)

The Field Exit key is used to exit an input field. If the field is an Auto Enter field, the auto transmit function is activated. This key function is present on the IBM 5250/TN5250 specific keypad only.

Scan Buttons and the SCNR LED

The SCNR LED, located above the keypad, illuminates during an integrated barcode scanner function. It is affected by internal scanner algorithms.

Figure 26 IR Port (COM 2)

The InfraRed (IR) port provides a means of transferring information to a device with a similar port and the proper software. The IR port can be used to communicate with printers or a host computer with the use of an adapter. The IR Port is specified as COM 2 and is a bi-directional half-duplex infrared port. It supports the Slow IrDA (Infrared Data Access) PHY Layer standard that allows communication speeds up to 115k baud.

When sending data through the IR port to another MX3X's IR port, make sure both units are in close proximity to each other. The IR operating envelope has a distance range of 2 cm (.79 inches) to 1 meter (3.2 feet) with a viewing angle of 30 degrees.

See the "MX3X Reference Guide" for complete instructions when sending data through the IR port.

Note: ActiveSync will transfer files over the RS-232 connector on the cradle. The cradle

34 Batteries

Batteries

Note: New batteries must be charged prior to use. If the main battery and backup battery are

depleted, the computer reverts to factory default values. RF configuration parameters will need to re-entered when the depleted main battery is replaced. The backup battery is eventually recharged by the main battery.

The mobile device is designed to work with a Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) battery from LXE. Under normal conditions it should last approximately eight to ten hours before requiring a recharge. The more you use the scanner or the RF transmitter, the shorter the time required between battery recharges. The operating system keeps date and time valid for a minimum of four days using a fully charged backup battery and a main battery that has reached the Low Warning point.

Main Battery

The main battery has a rugged plastic enclosure that is designed to withstand the ordinary rigors of an industrial environment. Exercise care when transporting the main battery making sure it does not come in contact with excessive heat or any power source other than an LXE MultiCharger or the mobile device.

Backup Battery

The internal Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) backup battery provides power to the device for a short amount of time when the main battery has been depleted, removed or has failed. The backup battery requires no user intervention. Replacement is performed by LXE.

Note: An uninterrupted external power source (wall AC adapters or DC/DC converters)

transfers power to the computer’s internal charging circuitry which, in turn, recharges the main battery and backup battery. Frequent connection to an external power source is recommended to maintain backup battery charge status.

Battery Hot-Swapping

When the battery power level is low, the BATT-M LED illuminates and remains on. You can replace the main battery without shutting the device off. Place the device in Suspend and simply replace the discharged battery with a fully-charged battery. The backup battery will retain data during a main battery hot-swap for at least five minutes.

36 Storage Cradles

Storage Cradles

Note: The “MX3 Cradle Reference Guide” contains cradle installation and technical

information.

There are two types of cradles for the MX3X: a desktop cradle for table top charging/communication applications and a vehicle mount cradle for vehicle mounted charging/communication applications.

A passive vehicle cradle is available for the MX3-RFID device. See the following section “The MX3-RFID and Cradles”.

The powered cradles give the MX3X the ability to communicate with a host computer and other equipment. In addition, using wall AC adapters or DC/DC converters, the cradle transfers power to the internal charging circuitry of the MX3X and, in turn, the operating system recharges the main battery.

The MX3X can be either on or in Suspend mode while in the cradle. The MX3X can be inserted and removed from the cradle with one hand.

Cables are available from LXE for connecting the cradle to a printer, a personal computer or a barcode printer. Tethered scanners (for RS-232 cradle connection) are also available from LXE.

Status LED

An LED indicator on the front of the cradle shows the status of the cradle. When the indicator is not illuminated, there is no power applied to the cradle.

Connectors

The Power connector is located on the back of the cradle in the top left hand corner. The cradle can be powered, if required, by an LXE US AC Adapter or an LXE International AC Adapter. When powered, the cradle transfers power to the internal charging circuitry of the MX3X allowing it to recharge the main battery. A powered cradle supports RS-232 and IR communications.

The RS-232 connector is located in the back center of the cradle. When the MX3X is properly docked, the bi-directional half-duplex transceivers in the MX3X and cradle are aligned through their IR windows. The half-duplex IR signals from the MX3X are converted to RS-232 signals in the cradle and available at this connector.

Vehicle Mount Cradle

This cradle is specifically designed for vehicle mount applications. The cradle restrains the MX3X and isolates the computer from shock and vibration. The MX3X is inserted into the cradle by placing the base of the unit in the pocket and then firmly pressing the unit backwards until the release mechanisms latch and hold the unit in the cradle. The MX3X is removed from the cradle by pressing the release mechanisms and pulling the MX3X up and away from the cradle.

Connectors

The Power connector is located on the back of the cradle below and to the left of the RS232 port. The cradle is powered by either a vehicle's 12V battery or from an approved accessory for vehicles with higher voltage (24 to 60 VDC) batteries. When powered, the cradle transfers external power to the MX3X, which in turn, recharges the main battery. A powered cradle allows RS-232 and IR communication.

The RS-232 connector is located on the back of the cradle below and to the right of the power connector. When the MX3X is properly docked, the bi-directional half-duplex transceivers in the MX3X and cradle are aligned through their IR windows. The half-duplex IR signals from the MX3X are converted to RS-232 signals in the cradle and available at this connector.

Note: ActiveSync will transfer files over the RS-232 connector on the vehicle cradle.

ActiveSync with a Cradle

To ActiveSync, the cradle must be powered off, the ActiveSync cradle cable attached to the desktop PC and the cradle, then the cradle powered up.

Note: ActiveSync transfers files to the MX3X over the RS-232 connector on the cradle using the

MX3X070CBLD9RS232AS cable.
