Chapter 1 — Using the Computer

Using the Battery

The computer comes with a 14.4 Watt-hour, 7.2V, replaceable Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery. You must fully charge the main battery before you can use the computer. When you change the main battery, a backup battery maintains your status, memory, and real-time clock for at least 10 minutes.

To view the status of the battery

1 Ta p Start > Settings > the System tab > Power.

2 Ta p ok to exit.

If your computer shuts down because of a low battery condition, your computer will not operate. The computer shuts down to make sure that your data is protected. Although the battery protects the data against loss for several hours, you should connect your computer to a power source when you first detect a low battery condition.

Note: In addition to protecting data for up to 10 minutes, the internal backup super capacitor shuts down the computer if the main battery is removed from the computer. Depending on the processes running, it may not have adequate power for a graceful shutdown. If so, the computer performs a cold boot the next time you apply power.

Make sure you put the computer into a suspend (sleep) mode before you remove the main battery.

If you have at least one device in your 741 or 751 (radio, scanner, or imager), the battery power fail level is set so that after the system shuts down in a low battery condition, there is still sufficient charge to allow the unit to remain configured, keep proper time, and maintain DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) for at least 72 hours at room temperature if the main battery remains in the computer.

The configuration and time are lost if:

• The battery discharges beyond the battery power fail level.

Scanning Bar Codes

Do not look directly into the window area or at a reflection of the laser beam while the laser is scanning. Long-term exposure to the laser beam can damage your vision.

Use the internal scanner to scan and enter bar code data. The type of scanner you are using and the type of bar code you are decoding determines the way you scan the bar code. The computer supports the scanning of 1D linear bar codes and 2D images, depending on the scanner model you chose to purchase. Plus, if you are using an integrated handle or a scanner attached to the serial port, the way you scan bar codes is different.

When you unpack the computer, these bar code symbologies are enabled:

• Code 39

• Code 128

• PDF417 (if supported)

•UPC/EAN

• DataMatrix (area imagers only)

If you are using bar code labels that are encoded in a different symbology, you need to enable the symbology on the computer. Use Intermec Settings to enable and disable symbologies for your scanner. For help using Intermec Settings, see “Configuring the Computer With Intermec Settings” on

page 38.

For information on scanner reading distances, see “Scanner Reading

Distances” on page 90. The following two sections describe how to scan a

bar code label with the laser scanner (EL10), linear imager (EV10), and area imager (EA11).

Scanning With the Laser Scanner or Linear Imager

If your computer has a standard range laser or a linear imager, use the following procedure to practice scanning a bar code. The linear imager can decode PDF417 bar codes as well as bar codes with high-density, lowdensity, and poor quality in any lighting conditions. For help scanning PDF417 bar codes, see the procedure on the next page.

*123456*

When the computer successfully reads a bar code label, you hear a high beep and the green Scanning LED turns on briefly.

4 Release the side Scan button or the trigger.

To scan a PDF417 or Micro PDF417 bar code with the linear imager

1 Press I/O to turn on the computer.

2 Point the scanner window at the PDF417 or Micro PDF417 bar code

label and hold the computer at a slight angle 15 to 25 cm (6 to 10 in) from the label.

3 Press either side Scan button, or pull the trigger on a handle, and direct

the red beam so that it falls across the top row of the bar code label.

Use this test bar code:

PDF417 Test Bar Code

*123456789abcdefg*

4 Move the beam down all rows of the bar code label. The computer

clicks as it reads each row.

5 The computer emits a high beep and the Scanning LED turns on briefly

when the computer successfully reads the entire bar code label.

6 Release the side Scan button or the trigger.

Scanning With an Area Imager

If the computer has an area imager, use the following procedure to practice scanning a bar code. The area imager lets you scan 2D bar code symbologies and supports omni-directional (360°) scanning. Omnidirectional scanning means that you can position the computer in any orientation to scan a bar code label. Using the area imager is very similar to taking a picture with a digital camera.

Synchronizing the Computer System Time with a Time Server

It is important that the time on all of your computers be synchronized with a network time server to ensure real-time communications and updates. Network time servers acquire Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) from an outside source such as the U.S. Naval Observatory (USNO). The 741 and 751 use Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) to synchronize with a network time server.

The default reference time server is the USNO (tock.usno.navy.mil). To synchronize the time on your computer with this time server, you must have a valid connection to the Internet. You can also synchronize the computer system time with a corporate network server within your firewall that is SNTP-capable. To use an internal corporate network server, you need to set the command name in the registry.

Configuring Personal Area Networks

Bluetooth™ is a technology standard that uses short-range radio links, intended to replace cable s connecting portable and fixed electronic devices. The key features of Bluetooth are robustness, low complexity, low power, and low cost. The technology offers wireless access to LANs, the mobile phone network, and mobile computers.

You can also print wirelessly by using Microsoft APIs, including Bluetooth extensions for Winsock and Bluetooth virtual COM ports. Information about other Bluetooth software is in the Bluetooth Resource Kit and the Bluetooth Resource Kit User’s Guide which is part of the Intermec Developer Library (IDL). The IDL is available as a download from the Intermec web site at www.intermec.com/idl.

You can send and receive information to a Bluetooth device wirelessly using the Bluetooth radio in the computer.

The adapter cup provides an RJ-45 connector off of it to connect to your Ethernet network and the communications docks provide an Ethernet connector that allows your computer to communicate in an Ethernet network.

Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer

To use your computer in an Ethernet network

1 Tap the iConnect icon ( ) in the lower right corner of the Today

screen. The iConnect pop-up menu appears:

2 Select Enable > Ethernet.

3 (Optional) Configure the IP Settings for the Ethernet Adapter if you are

not using DHCP. DHCP is the default setting.

4 (Optional) If required for your network, you may also need to set these

parameters on each computer:

• Primary and secondary DNS servers

• Primary and secondary WINS servers

5 Make sure that your computer is talking to the network and that the

network can see your computer.

Configuring 802.11 Radio Communications

The 751 Mobile Computer has an internal 802.11 b/g radio to transfer data using wireless communications. This section of the manual assumes that you have already set up your wireless communications network including your access points. If you are using a UDP Plus network, have your Intermec Application Server communicate with a host computer.

Your computer supports these network protocols:

•TCP/IP

• UDP Plus

The next sections explain the parameters you need to configure for the 751 to work in your wireless network.

Configuring the Network Parameters for a TCP/IP Network

In a TCP/IP network, the 751 communicates with a host computer directly using TCP/IP. The access point acts as a bridge to allow communications between the wired network and the wireless network.

To use wireless communications in a TCP/IP network

1 Go to Start > Settings > the Systems tab > Intermec Settings.

2 Configure these network parameters on each 751 in the network:

• Network name (SSID)

• IP settings (if not using DHCP)

3 Make sure that the 751 is talking to the network and that the network

can see the 751.

4 Configure security. For help, see “Configuring Security on the Wireless

Network” on page 47.

The easiest way to configure the network parameters on the 751 is to use Intermec Settings. For help, see “Configuring the Computer With

Intermec Settings” on page 38.

Configuring the Network Parameters for a UDP Plus Network

In a UDP Plus network, the 751 communicates with a host computer through the Intermec Application Server. The Intermec Application Server translates UDP Plus packets on the wireless network into TCP/IP packets on the wired networks and vice versa. The access point acts as a bridge to allow communications between the wired network and the wireless network.

To use wireless communications in a UDP Plus network

1 Go to Start > Settings > the Systems tab > Intermec Settings.

2 Configure these network parameters on the 751:

• Network name (SSID)

46 741 and 751 Mobile Computers (Windows Mobile 5.0) User’s Manual

Page 57

• Controller IP address

• IP settings (if not using DHCP)

• Network port

3 Make sure the 751 is talking to the network and that the network can

see the 751.

4 Configure security. For help, see “Configuring Security on the Wireless

Network” on this page.

Checking the Status of Your Wireless Connection

After you configure your wireless settings, you can use iConnect to check the status of your connection.

To check the status of your wireless connection

1 Tap the iConnect icon ( ) in the lower right corner of the Today

screen.

2 From the menu, select Status > Wireless. The Wireless Status screen

appears and checks the connection.

Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer

You can also use iConnect to configure or change the network settings by tapping Tools > Wireless Settings from the iConnect menu.

Configuring Security on the Wireless Network

Your wireless adapter (network interface card) connects to wireless networks of two types: infrastructure networks and ad-hoc networks.

• Infrastructure networks connect you to your corporate network and the internet. Your computer establishes a wireless connection to an access point, which links you to the rest of the network.

• Ad-hoc networks are private networks shared between two or more clients, even without an access point.

Each wireless network is assigned a name (or SSID) to allow multiple networks to coexist in the same area without infringement.

Intermec recommends using security measures with wireless networks to prevent unauthorized access to your network and to ensure the privacy of transmitted data. These elements are required for secure networks:

• Authentication by both the network and the user

• Authentication is cryptographically protected

• Transmitted data

741 and 751 Mobile Computers (Windows Mobile 5.0) User’s Manual 47

Page 58

Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer

There are many schemes available to implement these features. Use the following tables to understand the common terminology for wireless network security.

Encryption Terminology

Acronym Description

AES (Advanced Encryption Standard)

CKIP (Cisco Key Integrity Protocol)

TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol)

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption

A block cipher, a type of symmetric key cipher that uses groups of bits of a fixed length - called blocks. A symmetric key cipher is a cipher using the same key for both encryption and decryption.

As implemented for wireless, this is also known as CCMP, which implements AES as TKIP and WEP are implementations of RC4.

This is Cisco’s version of the TKIP protocol, compatible with Cisco Aironet products.

This protocol is part of the IEEE 802.11i encryption standard for wireless LANs, which provides per-packet key mixing, a message integrity check and a re-keying mechanism, thus overcoming most of the weak points of WEP. This encryption is more difficult to crack than the standard WEP. Weak points of WEP include: No Initiation Vector (IV) reuse protection, weak keys, no protection against message replay, no detection of message tampering, and no key updates.

With preconfigured WEP, both the client 751 and access point are assigned the same key, which can encrypt all data between the two devices. WEP keys also authenticate the 751 to the access point - unless the 751 can prove it knows the WEP key, it is not allowed onto the network. WEP keys are only needed if they are expected by your clients. There are two types available: 64-bit (5character strings, 12345) (default) and 128-bit (13-character strings, 1234567890123).

Key Management Protocols Terminology

Acronym Description

WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)

WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access)

48 741 and 751 Mobile Computers (Windows Mobile 5.0) User’s Manual

This is an enhanced version of WEP that does not rely on a static, shared key. It encompasses a number of security enhancements over WEP, including improved data encryption via TKIP and 802.11b/g authentication with EAP. WiFi Alliance security standard is designed to work with existing 802.11 products and to offer forward compatibility with 802.11i.

Second generation of WPA security. Like WPA, WPA2 provides enterprise and home Wi-Fi users with a high level of assurance that their data remains protected and that only authorized users can access their wireless networks. WPA2 is based on the final IEEE 802.11i amendment to the 802.11 standard ratified in June 2004. WPA2 uses the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for data encryption and is eligible for FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards) 140-2 compliance.

Page 59

Authentication Terminology

Acronym Description

EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol)

EAP-FAST (Flexible Authentication via Secure Tu n n e l i n g )

LEAP (Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol)

EAP-PEAP (Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol)

EAP-TLS (Transport Layer Security)

EAP-TTLS (Tunneled Tr a n s po r t La yer Security)

802.11b/g uses this protocol to perform authentication. This is not necessarily an authentication mechanism, but is a common framework for transporting actual authentication protocols. Intermec provides a number of EAP protocols for you to choose the best for your network.

A publicly accessible IEEE 802.1X EAP type developed by Cisco Systems. It is available as an IETF informational draft. An 802.1X EAP type that does not require digital certificates, supports a variety of user and password database types, supports password expiration and change, and is flexible, easy to deploy, and easy to manage.

Also known as Cisco-Wireless EAP, provides username/password based authentication between a wireless client and a RADIUS server. In the 802.1x framework, traffic cannot pass through a wireless network access point until it successfully authenticates itself.

Performs secure authentication against Windows domains and directory services. It is comparable to EAP-TTLS both in its method of operation and its security, though not as flexible. This does not support the range of inside-the-tunnel authentication methods supported by EAP-TTLS. Microsoft and Cisco both support this protocol.

Based on the TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocol widely used to secure web sites. This requires both the user and authentication server have certificates for mutual authentication. While cryptically strong, this requires corporations that deploy this to maintain a certificate infrastructure for all users.

This protocol provides authentication like EAP-TLS but does not require certificates for every user. Instead, authentication servers are issued certificates. User authentication is done using a password or other credentials that are transported in a securely encrypted “tunnel” established using server certificates.

EAP-TTLS works by creating a secure, encrypted tunnel through which you present your credentials to the authentication server. Thus, inside EAP-TTLS there is another inner authentication protocol that you must configure via Additional TTLS Settings.

Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer

The 751 provides three types of security for your wireless network: Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2/802.11i), WPA, and WEP. 802.1x should be referred to as an authentication method used for WPA and WPA2. Another authentication method for WPA and WPA2 would be the Pre-Shared Key (PSK).

Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer

Choosing Between Microsoft and Funk Security

Before you can implement a security solution on the 751, you need to choose between Microsoft and Funk security:

• By default, Funk security is enabled. It provides everything you get with Microsoft security plus the addition of Cisco Compatible Extensions features. It also provides additional authentication types like EAPTTLS, LEAP, and EAP-FAST.

• Microsoft security, with its Microsoft Zero Config feature, is also available. To switch to Microsoft security, go to “Configuring Microsoft

Security” on page 62 to start.

Note: Your security choice does not depend on your authentication server.

For example, you can choose Funk security if you use Microsoft Active Directory® to issue certificates.

If you want to use the default Funk security, you need to select a profile. For help, see one of the following sections, “Configuring Funk Security Using Intermec Settings” on this page or “Configuring Funk Security Using the

Profile Wizard” on page 53.

If you want to use Microsoft security, you need to select it as your security choice. For help, see “Configuring Microsoft Security” on page 62.

Configuring Funk Security Using Intermec Settings

You can define up to four profiles for Funk security. Different profiles let your 751 communicate in different networks without having to change all of your security settings. For example, you may want to set up one profile for the manufacturing floor and one for the warehouse. By default, the active profile is Profile_1.

To select a profile for Funk security

1 Select Start > Settings > the Systems tab > Intermec Settings.

2 Select Communications > 802.11 Radio > Funk Security.

3 Select Active Profile, choose a profile from the list, and save your

settings.

Chapter 4 — Developing and Installing Applications

Developing Applications for the Computer

The 741 and 751 mobile computers run applications programmed in Microsoft Visual Studio 2005. You can also use Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0, but some features may not be available. Use this section to understand the hardware and software you need to:

• develop a new application for the computer

• develop a web-based application for the computer

Developing a New Application

Use the Intermec resource kits to develop new applications to run on the mobile computer. The Intermec resource kits are a library of C++ and .NET components grouped by functionality that you can use to create applications for the computer. The resource kits are part of the Intermec Developer Library (IDL), and can be downloaded from the Intermec web site at www.intermec.com/idl.

You need these hardware and software components to use the Intermec resource kits:

• Pentium PC, 400 MHz or higher

• Windows 2000 (Service Pack 2 or later) or Windows XP (Home, Professional, or Server)

• For native and managed development, Microsoft Visual Studio 2005

• 128 MB RAM (196 MB recommended)

• 360 MB hard drive space for minimum installation (720 MB for complete)

• CD-ROM drive compatible with multimedia PC specification

• VGA or higher-resolution monitor (Super VGA recommended)

• Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device

Developing a Web-Based Application

You can develop web-based data collection applications for use on the computer. For help, see any HTML source book. The mobile computer contains Internet Explorer Mobile for you to use. Microsoft Internet Explorer Mobile is available from the Start menu and provides all of the common elements you expect to find.

Installing Applications

There are several ways you can install applications on your mobile computer:

• You can package your application as a cabinet (.cab) file.

68 741 and 751 Mobile Computers (Windows Mobile 5.0) User’s Manual

Page 79

Chapter 4 — Developing and Installing Applications

• If you have a simple application, you may only need to deliver the .exe file.

• You can copy a directory structure that contains the application, supporting files, DLLs, images, and data files.

Intermec recommends using .cab files to install your applications. The mobile computer uses standard Windows Mobile .cab files and will install third-party .cab files. You can have your .cab files place your application in any of these memory locations on the mobile computer:

• The Object Store or the Flash File Store. The Object Store is a DiskOnChip® flash that looks like a disk. The Flash File Store is an area of storage which is embedded in a section of the system flash memory. This storage is not erased during a reset, although it might be erased during the reflashing process. In addition to storing applications and data files, you have the option to store persistent registry information to the Flash File Store region.

• The optional Secure Digital (SD) card or CompactFlash (CF) card. If you are using an SD or CF card, this should be the primary location to place application installation files. The following folders represent either card:

• The SD card creates the \SDMMC Disk folder.

• The CF card creates the \Storage Card folder.

• The non-volatile Flash File Store region of the storage. Use the small non-volatile Flash File Store region to hold .cab files that rebuild the system at clean boot or install applications from a .cab file into the Flash File Store so that they are “ready-to-run” when you perform clean boot. Since the flash in the system has a limited number of write cycles, do not use the Flash File Store for excessive writing.

Files copied to any of these locations are safe when you cold boot the computer as long as the AutoRun system is installed in the appropriate location. You can find information about this system in the Intermec Developer’s Library (IDL) Resource Kit Developer’s Guide which is available from www.intermec.com/idl. When you copy a .cab file to the \CabFiles folder, the folder automatically extracts that .cab file on every cold boot.

There are several ways you can install files and applications on the computer:

• SmartSystems server

• ActiveSync

•SD card

• FTP server

• Wavelink Avalanche

The following sections explain how to use each one of these processes to install your application on the computer.

741 and 751 Mobile Computers (Windows Mobile 5.0) User’s Manual 69

Page 80

Chapter 4 — Developing and Installing Applications

Installing Applications Using SmartSystems Server

You can use the SmartSystems server to drag-and-drop Intermec applications onto your mobile computers. The computer ships with the SmartSystems client, which means it is SmartSystems-enabled. The console is part of SmartSystems Foundation, which you can download from

www.intermec.com/SmartSystems. For help using the console, see the

online help.

To use SmartSystems console to install an application

1 Download your application file from the Intermec web site and unzip it

on your desktop PC.

2 Double-click the application file to install it. The application file should

appear in the Software Vault.

3 From the SmartSystems console in the Software Vault, drag-and-drop

the application onto each mobile computer in your network.

Installing Applications Using Microsoft ActiveSync

You can use Microsoft ActiveSync to establish a connection between your PC and the computer. ActiveSync transfers files, synchronizes files, performs remote debugging, and other device management activities. For more information on installing and using ActiveSync, see “Using Microsoft

ActiveSync” on page 33.

You can have a serial or USB ActiveSync connection to the mobile computer. When you only have a few computers to update, you can copy files using Windows Explorer on a PC.

This procedure assumes that Microsoft ActiveSync is installed on your PC and is up and running.

To install an application on the computer using ActiveSync

1 Connect the mobile computer to a PC using a USB cable. You may have

to disconnect and then connect the cable to “wake” the connection.

2 Wait for a “Connected” message to appear in the Microsoft ActiveSync

application to signal a connection to the mobile computer. If necessary, select File > Get Connected to initiate a connection.

Chapter 4 — Developing and Installing Applications

3 Click Explore to open the Mobile Device window that shows the files

and folders on the mobile computer.

4 On your desktop PC, locate the .cab file you want to download to the

mobile computer and copy it.

5 From the Mobile Device window, open the My Windows Mobile-

Based Device folder and navigate to the folder where you want to paste

the .cab file.

6 Paste the .cab file into the desired folder.

7 When you are done copying files, warm boot the mobile computer.

8 After the mobile computer is done warm booting, tap Start > Programs

> File Explorer to locate the newly copied files.

9 Tap the .cab files to install them.

Installing Applications Using a Storage Card

If you have an SD or CF card for your mobile computer, this is the best place for you to install applications.

To install applications using the storage card

1 Suspend the mobile computer and remove the storage card.

2 Insert the storage card into the storage card reader connected to your

desktop PC.

3 Copy your application file to the storage card.

If you are using ActiveSync, an FTP server, or Wavelink Avalanche to copy the files to the SD card, place the application in the Storage Card folder located in My Windows Mobile-Based Device.

4 Insert the storage card back into the mobile computer.

5 Navigate to the storage card folder and run your application.

741 and 751 Mobile Computers (Windows Mobile 5.0) User’s Manual 71

Page 82

Chapter 4 — Developing and Installing Applications

Installing Applications Using the FTP Server

The computer has a built-in FTP server that connects to a network through the 802.11 b/g radio. You can use the server to transfer your application file to the computer. Another benefit of using the FTP server is that you can create FTP scripts to automate the process of copying your files to the computer. This option is useful when you need to send files to a large number of computers.

If you want to disable the FTP server use a CAB file or another method to modify the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMM\FTPD. You need to set the value IsEnabled (a REG_DWORD) to zero (0). If you set the value to zero, the Web server will not accept connections from the network, even from the local host.

Installing Applications Using Wavelink Avalanche

You can use the Wavelink Avalanche device management system to install applications on all of your wireless 751s. The 751 ships with the Avalanche Enabler already loaded on it.

Each time the Avalanche Enabler is activated (typically on a reset), the 751 attempts to connect to the Avalanche Agent. When the 751 connects to the agent, the agent determines whether an update is available and immediately starts the software upgrade, file transfer, or configuration update.

To use Avalanche to remotely manage the 751

1 Install software packages and updates for the 751 using the Avalanche

Administrative console.

2 Schedule the 751 updates or manually initiate an update using the

Avalanche Administrative console.

For more information on using Wavelink Avalanche, contact your local Intermec representative or visit the Wavelink web site at

www.wavelink.com.

Freeing Up Virtual Memory for Applications

You can use the InstallSelect application to reduce the amount of virtual memory used by portions of the SmartSystems Platform Bundle (SSPB). Freeing up virtual memory provides you with more space to load and run custom applications. In technical terms, virtual memory allows software to run in a memory address space whose size and addressing are not necessarily tied to the physical memory of the computer.

Note: InstallSelect is designed for use only by administrators, developers, integrators, or Intermec service representatives.

Note: Do not run InstallSelect while using any other applications.

72 741 and 751 Mobile Computers (Windows Mobile 5.0) User’s Manual

Page 83

InstallSelect manages the installation of value-added software features of the computer. Removing software features may result in loss of computer functionality or the ability to manage device settings. See “Understanding

the InstallSelect Software Components” on page 74 or contact your

Intermec service representative for information about each software feature before making changes.

To free up virtual memory, select items from the InstallSelect list that you do not want to install. When you perform a clean boot, the items you selected are not installed. However, you can reinstall any of these SSPB components at any time with InstallSelect. Be sure to back up any related files that you want before you use the InstallSelect application. The InstallSelect application is part of the SSPB and is installed at the factory.

For more information on SSPB, see “Upgrading the System Software” on

page 75.

Launching An Application Automatically

There are two ways to automatically launch your application when you perform a reset on the computer:

• Make sure your CAB file places a shortcut to your application in the \Windows\StartUp folder.

• Configure the AutoRun program to launch your application.

The computer contains a program called AutoRun.exe which automates operations such as launching other processes. You can configure AutoRun.exe through the AutoRun data file, AutoRun.dat. This script file must be located in the same directory as the program.

AutoRun supports the following script commands in AutoRun.dat:

AutoRun Script Commands

Command Description

EXEC Launches a specified program and waits for it to finish (up to 10

minutes) CALL Processes a specified file of commands and returns. CHAIN Processes a specified file of commands and does not return. RUN Loads a specified program and executes it. LOAD Loads a specified program and executes it.

Chapter 5 — Troubleshooting and Maintaining the Computer

Problems While Scanning Bar Codes (continued)

Problem Solution

The input device attached to the computer does not work well or read bar code labels very quickly.

The scanner will not read the bar code label.

The scanner does not read the bar code labels quickly, or the scanning beam seems to be faint or obscured.

You scan a valid bar code label to enter data for your application. The data decoded by the scan module does not match the data encoded in the bar code label.

Set the Scanner Model command to the specific attached input device. Check enabled bar code symbologies and enable only the symbologies being used.

• Aim the scanner beam to cross entire bar code label in one pass. Vary the scanning angle.

• Check the quality of the bar code label, Scan a bar code label that you know will scan. Compare the two bar code labels to see if the bar code quality is too low. You may need to replace the label that you cannot scan.

• Make sure the bar code symbology is enabled. Use Intermec Settings to check the symbologies. Expand Data Collection > Symbologies beneath devices listed (scanner, virtual wedge) to check and enable symbologies, then scan the bar code label again.

• Make sure the computer application is expecting input from a bar code. You may need to type this information instead.

The scanner window may be dirty. Clean the window with a solution of ammonia and water. Wipe dry. Do not allow abrasive material to touch the window.

The computer may have decoded the bar code label in a symbology other than the label’s actual symbology. Try scanning the bar code label again. Make sure you scan the entire label.

Resetting Your Computer

You rarely need to reset the computer. If the computer does not resume after pressing the I/O key, or if the computer or an application is locked up, you may need to reset it. The computer uses the configuration currently saved in flash memory during the boot process. There are three ways to reset the computer:

• Warm booting the computer

• Cold booting the computer

• Clean booting the computer

Warm Booting the Computer

You may need to perform a warm boot to correct conditions where an application stops responding to the system.

• Press and hold the Power key for ten seconds.

The computer systematically shuts down, restarts, and goes through the initialization process.

Cold Booting the Computer

In some cases where the computer completely stops responding, it may be necessary to perform a cold boot. Because cold booting may result in data loss, only use this method if all other recovery methods have failed.

Note: Cold booting deletes all programs and data stored in RAM including the Object Store. Make sure data is backed up to your host computer or a storage card before performing a cold boot.

To cold boot your computer

1 Release the lower clip of the hand strap and remove the battery pack.

2 Press the Reset button.

Clean Booting the Computer

When you clean boot the computer, it loads only those files and programs that are absolutely required by the operating system. Use the clean boot to troubleshoot the computer by getting it up and running so that you can perform diagnostic tests to determine which elements of the normal boot process are causing problems.

The clean boot process will erase the memory in the mobile computer, including all applications and data files found in the object store.

Reset button

To preserve application programs through a clean boot, you must store them in the Flash File Store.

Clean the scanner window as often as needed for the environment in which you are using the computer. To clean the computer, use a solution of ammonia and water.

There are no user-serviceable parts inside the computer. Opening the unit will void the warranty and may cause damage to the internal components.

To clean the scanner window and computer screen

1 Press the Power key to turn off the computer.

2 Dip a clean towel or rag in the ammonia solution and wring out the

excess.

3 Wipe off the scanner window and screen. Do not allow any abrasive

material to touch these surfaces.
