Scanning From iBrowse

Note: iBrowse supports built-in scanners. The 700 Color and CN3 computers support the SF51 Cordless Scanner.

Three different methods for scanning are available. Use care when deciding which method to use, as it can have an impact on how the web pages are designed.

Wedge

You can press the trigger for the scanner at any time to display the aiming beam. If a valid bar code is successfully decoded, the data returned is wedged into the keyboard buffer. The control with the current focus receives the data. You do not have to add unique Intermec tags or code to the HTML page for this mode. Set the UseWedgeMode key in the .ini file to TRUE and any <input> text box is able to get the scanned data when it has focus.

Note: You must use Wedge mode if the web pages the user needs to scan contain bookmarks or frames.

META Tag

When using the META tag method, the scanner is disabled when iBrowse starts and is enabled on a page-by-page basis. In addition, you can use the META tags to automatically pass the scanned data to another web page, to a JavaScript function, or to continually fire and receive data from the scanner. For more information on this method of scanning, see “Custom

META Tags for iBrowse” on page 41.

Note: If you set the UseWedgeMode key in the .ini file to FALSE, scanning may only be enabled or disabled by the use of META Tags.

ITCAXEdit ActiveX control

This control is available for Intermec computers running Windows Mobile 2003 and Windows Mobile 5.0.

iBrowse installs a custom ActiveX edit control used from within web pages in place of <input> tags. This control has a property that enables the scanner on a field-by-field basis. When the control loses focus, the scanner is disabled. If wedge mode is enabled, this mode does not function. For information on this control, see the ENABLESCANNER function in

“Using the ITCAXEdit Control on a Web Page” on page 57.

Designing Web Pages for iBrowse

Some key things to consider when designing web pages for iBrowse.

• iBrowse on computers running the Windows Mobile operating system use a version of Pocket Internet Explorer to support these technologies:

HTML V3.20

JavaScript 1.2

ActiveX Components

XML and XSL

WML

• CK30 computers with the standard operating system and computers with the Windows Mobile operating system support these technologies:

HTML V4.01

Extensible HTML (XHTML)

Cascading style sheets

Microsoft JScript version 5.5

Enhanced scripting and Document Object Model support

Wireless Markup Language (WML) 2.0 (XHTML + WML 1.x)

Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) in IPv4/IPv6 mixed-mode environments

• CK30 computers with the Windows Mobile Premium operating system and Windows CE are based on Internet Explorer 6.0 (IE6) and have capabilities similar to the desktop browser.

Note: iBrowse may render pages differently on CK30 Standard operating systems when compared to CK30 Premium operating systems due to the underlying components used to render web pages.

Pages may appear differently on different computers due to different Internet Explorer modes or operating systems. For example, pages displayed on CK30 Standard computers, which use Pocket Internet Explorer, may appear to be different than the same pages on a CK30 Premium computer, which uses Internet Explorer 6 mode. Pages viewed on a computer running Windows Mobile 2003 may also appear to be different than the same pages viewed on a computer running Windows Mobile 5.0, even though both operating systems use the Pocket Internet Explorer mode.

iBrowse User’s Guide 39

Here are some helpful tips to keep in mind when designing web pages for iBrowse.

Force the user to follow a specific path

In most situations, the HTML should lead through a narrow path for entering or processing information. Pages designed for the desktop browser usually have dozens of links providing a myriad of paths on which to continue. In the business environment, it is usually more useful to force a select path. The limited screen area is also a factor.

Design pages to fit on one screen

Scroll bars reduce screen size by at least 15 pixels. On a 700 Color, CK31, CK60, CN2A, CN2B, and CN30 computers, the display is approximately 235 pixels wide by 290 pixels high. For CK30 computers, the display is about 160 pixels wide by 140 pixels high. Design screens and images to fit.

Load quickly with low throughput

In a wireless environment, throughput is affected by signal strength. The lower the signal strength from the access points, the slower the throughput. For this reason, it is best to design the pages to be as small as possible. Use graphics sparingly. Find ways to split large pages into two or more pages that the user can step through. This prevents the user from long waits when they are in a low coverage area. Optimally, the pages are transferred at 11 Mbps but transfer speed can be as low as 2 Mbps.

Avoid frames and bookmarks

Due to limited screen space and throughput concerns, frames and bookmarks are not recommended. A page with two frames downloads three different web pages. A page with bookmarks takes longer to download and the scroll bar that is at the side of the screen could easily confuse a new user if they accidentally scroll to a different section of the page. META tags that work on a per-page basis do not function in frame and bookmark pages.

Support both keyboard and stylus input

When possible, navigate through the web pages using the keypad because it is more convenient and efficient. The stylus is often lost by users, which then requires the use of a finger or another object, and a substitute is rarely small enough to tap on the correct item without several tries. You can set the META Tag OnKey feature keys on the keypad to run a JavaScript or navigate to a new page with a single keystroke. You can set up a screen full of links like a menu so each link is assigned a number. The user could then press that number on the keypad instead of having to tap on the screen. When a user is required to tap on the screen, make sure the button or link is large enough for easy selection with a finger.

Limit the use of JavaScript

Web applications are, by definition, thin clients. Try to push most, if not all, data processing to the back-end system. Overloading a Windows CE computer with JavaScript causes performance degradation.

40 iBrowse User’s Guide

Custom META Tags for iBrowse

Some custom META tags have been defined for the iBrowse web browser. These tags allow web pages to enable specific functionality in the browser. These tags do not work on web browsers other than iBrowse. Following is a list of all available tags and information on how to use them.

You can specify multiple META tags on each page. All META tags are processed in the order in which they are encountered in the HTML file.

If META tags are used, the HTML should not use frames or bookmarks. When navigating to certain frames or to a bookmark, iBrowse does not read the META tags and so the single-page settings like IBrowse_Scanner are not available.

There are two parts to each tag, the “HTTP-Equiv” and the “content”. The case of the META tags do not prevent them from incorrect interpretation.

All sample HTML in this appendix is provided “as is”. For working examples of most META tag features, see the sample HTML files installed by the iBrowse .cab file in the “\Windows\IBrowse\” folder on your Intermec computer.

IBrowse_Command

When this tag is encountered, the iBrowse application immediately exits without displaying a password prompt.

Syntax

HTTP-Equiv=”IBrowse_Command” content=”exit”

Comments

This allows the HTML to control when the user can exit the application. This tag applies only to the page on which it is located.

Example

<HTML> <HEAD> <META HTTP-Equiv=” IBrowse_Command” content=”exit”> </HEAD> <BODY> <P>You should not be seeing this right now.</P> </BODY> </HTML>

iBrowse User’s Guide 41

IBrowse_GetBluetoothScannerInfo

This meta tag is used to get the unique identifier of any SF51 computers that are connected to the hand held computer. Possible return values are “NONE” if no scanners are found or a list of the friendly names of the scanners separated by semicolons if more than one are found.

Syntax

HTTP-Equiv=“IBrowse_GetBluetoothScannerInfo”

content= URL | JavaScript function

Comments

The URL or JavaScript placed in the content tag is not executed until the entire page has loaded. This tag applies only to the page on which it is located.

Example

IBrowse_GetUnitInformation

This tag retrieves valuable information about the unit on which iBrowse is running. Three items of data are returned in the following order: serial number, UUID (a globally unique Pocket PC identifier), and current iBrowse version number.

Syntax

HTTP-Equiv=”IBrowse_GetUnitInformation” content= URL | JavaScript function

Comments

The URL or JavaScript placed in the content tag is not executed until the entire page has loaded. This applies only to the page on which it is located.

Example

<HTML> <HEAD> <META HTTP-Equiv=”IBrowse_GetUnitInformation” Content=”Javascript:ShowUnitInfo(’%s’, ’%s’, ’%s’);”> <SCRIPT> LANGUAGE=JAVASCRIPT> function SetUnitInfo(serial,uuid,version) { document.Frm3.Fld1.value = serial; document.Frm3.Fld2.value = uuid; document.Frm3.Fld3.value = version;

document.Frm3.Fld1.focus(); } </SCRIPT> </HEAD> <BODY onload=”document.Frm3.Fld1.focus()”> <form name=”Frm3”> <table id=”AutoNumber1”> <tr><td width=”100%”>SerialNumber:</td></tr> <tr><td width=”100%”><input type=”text” name=”Fld1” size=”20”></td></tr> <tr><td width=”100%”>UUID:</td></tr> <tr><td width=”100%”><input type=”text” name=”Fld2” size=”50”></td></tr> <tr><td width=”100%”>Version:</td></tr> <tr><td width=”100%”><input type=”text” name=”Fld3” size=”12”></td></tr> <tr><td width=”100%” colspan=”2”> </td></tr> </table> </form> </BODY> </HTML>

Note: “UUID” is not supported on CV60 computers and is always blank.

IBrowse_OnKey

This changes the action of a particular key. The key mapped is mapped for the current page only. The key value, which is 0x1b in the following example, can be either a hexadecimal value (0x1b) or a decimal value (27).

Syntax

HTTP-Equiv=”IBrowse_OnKey0x1b” content= URL | JavaScript function

Comments

The content can include a web page to navigate to or a JavaScript function to perform. This tag affects only the page on which it is placed, so do any key remapping on a page-by-page basis. You must precede hexadecimal values by 0x. You cannot remap system keys such as Application Key 1 in the TE 2000 version of iBrowse.

Note: Keys mapped using this method take precedence over persistent key mapping like those done in the [Keys] section of the .ini file.

Note: Function keys 1-24 can be mapped in a similar manner using the .ini file. Function key mappings created using the .ini files are persistent and do not have to be re-enabled on a page-by-page basis. Update the Function key values using the IBrowse_UpdateINI meta tag.

Example

<HTML> <HEAD> <META HTTP-Equiv=” IBrowse_OnKey0x1b” content=” http:// appserver\home.htm”> <META HTTP-Equiv=” IBrowse_OnKey032” content=” http:// appserver\page1.htm”> <META HTTP-Equiv=” IBrowse_OnKey49” content=” Javascript:OnKeyOne();”> <script> function OnKeyOne() { alert(”The 1 key was pressed.”); } </script>

</HEAD> <BODY> <H2>Key Mapping</H2> <P>Press the escape key to return to the home page</P> <P>Press the space key to go to page 1</P> <P>Press the 1 key will show an alert</P> </BODY> </HTML>

iBrowse User’s Guide 45

IBrowse_Reboot

This forces the computer running iBrowse to reboot. Use extreme care when using this tag.

Syntax

HTTP-Equiv=”IBrowse_Reboot” content=”cold | warm”

Comments

The computer immediately reboots when this tag is encountered. A warm boot loses any work or files not saved to storage. A cold boot clears the computer of all memory except for the memory stored on non-volatile media, such as a Secure Digital card, or the Flash File System. A cold boot may also lose certain settings like the wireless network settings. Use extreme care when using this tag.

Example

<HTML> <HEAD> <META HTTP-Equiv=” IBrowse_Reboot” content=”warm”> </HEAD> <BODY> <H2>Reboot Test</H2> </BODY> </HTML>

IBrowse_SetDate

This updates the system date on the computer running iBrowse. If an invalid value is passed, the date is not changed.

Syntax

HTTP-Equiv=”IBrowse_SetDate” content=”02/01/2003”

Comments

The date passed in the content tag must be the current GMT date. in mm/ dd/yyyy format. You can use characters other than the forward slash ( / ) to separate the month, day, and year. Valid separators are the backslash ( \ ), forward slash ( / ), comma ( , ), and hyphen ( - ) characters.

Example

<HTML> <HEAD> <META HTTP-Equiv=”IBrowse_SetDate” content=”02/01/2003”> </HEAD> <BODY> <H2>The date has been updated</H2> </BODY> </HTML>

46 iBrowse User’s Guide

IBrowse_SetTime

This updates the system time on the computer running iBrowse. If an invalid value is passed, the time is not changed.

Syntax

HTTP-Equiv=”IBrowse_SetTime” content=”15:35”

Comments

The time passed in the content tag must be the current GMT time. The computer converts the time using the set time zone. This is useful when there are multiple units spread across different time zones. You can use characters other than a colon ( : ) to separate the hours and minutes. Valid separators are the colon ( : ) and comma ( , ) characters.

Example

<HTML> <HEAD> <META HTTP-Equiv=”IBrowse_SetTime” content=”15:35”> </HEAD> <BODY> <H2>The time has been updated</H2> </BODY> </HTML>

IBrowse_Scanner

This is page-specific and applies only to the current page. When this tag is used alone (not with the IBrowse_ScannerNavigate tag), the bar code data is sent to the keyboard buffer and any input field that has focus receives the data.

Syntax

HTTP-Equiv=”IBrowse_Scanner” content=”Enabled | Disabled | AutoTab | AutoEnter | AutoEnterAndTab”

Comments

The scanner is disabled on a page by default. This tag does not function if UseWedgeMode is enabled in the Browse.ini file.

• Content=“Enabled” enables the scanner for the current web page and simply wedges the data into the object with focus. For more control over scanning, see IBrowse_ScannerNavigate on page 48.

• Content=“Disabled” ensures the scanner is disabled on a specific page. This should not be required on any page as the scanner is disabled on every page unless a tag is provided to enable scanning.

• Content= “AutoTab” This mode is similar to “Enable.” This mode also appends a Ta b character to the end of every scan to move through fields on a form without user interaction.

iBrowse User’s Guide 47

• Content=“AutoEnter” This mode is similar to “Enable.” This mode appends an Enter character to the end of every scan to automatically submit a form or provide other automatic operation after a scan.

• Content=“AutoEnterAndTab” This mode is similar to “Enable.” This mode also appends an Enter and a Ta b character to the end of every scan to move through fields on a form without user interaction. Some Pocket PC and Windows Mobile operating systems require an Enter and then a Ta b to move to the next field.

Example

<HTML> <HEAD> <META HTTP-Equiv=”IBrowse_Scanner” Content=”Enabled”> </HEAD> <BODY> <FORM NAME=”FRM1”> <TABLE> <TR> <TD>Barcode:</TD> <TD><INPUT TYPE=”text” NAME=”FLD1” SIZE=”12”></TD> </TR> </TABLE> </FORM> </BODY> </HTML>

IBrowse_ScannerNavigate

Note: This tag does not work with file-based web pages but will work with these pages if the page using it is hosted on a web server.

This tag is page-specific and enables the scanner. When there is a successful scan, iBrowse either navigates to the given URL or executes the given JavaScript function.

Syntax

HTTP-Equiv=”IBrowse_ScannerNavigate” content= URL | JavaScript function

Comments

You can populate the data from the scan into the URL Query string replacing “%s” with the following pieces of information: “barcode”, “type”, and “time” in that order. You can also pass this information to a JavaScript function defined on the page. This tag does not function if UseWedgeMode is enabled in the Browse.ini file.

48 iBrowse User’s Guide

IBrowse_SIPUp

Example

........

</BODY> <SCRIPT> function OnScan(data, type, time) { alert(”Scanned barcode: ” + data + ” type: ” + type + ” time: ” + time); } </SCRIPT> </HTML>

Note: This tag is available for all computers except the CK30.

You can specify this tag when the onscreen keyboard is required for data entry. When this tag is specified, the onscreen keyboard is enabled. The user may still disable the onscreen keyboard by tapping on the keyboard icon on the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen.

Syntax

HTTP-Equiv=”IBrowse_SIPUp” content=””

Comments

No text is required in the content tag but you must specify the content tag for this META tag to work successfully. This affects only the page on which it is placed. Navigating to another page disables the onscreen keyboard.

Example

<HTML> <HEAD> <META HTTP-Equiv=”IBrowse_SIPUp” content=””> </HEAD> <BODY> <H2>The SIP is now displayed</H2> </BODY> </HTML>

iBrowse User’s Guide 49

IBrowse_TextSize

This sets the size of the text that appears onscreen, not the TextSize set in the .ini file. Use IBrowse_UpdateIni to change the .ini file.

Syntax

HTTP-Equiv=“IBrowse_TextSize” content= smallest, smaller, medium, larger, largest

Comments

This tag changes the size of the text displayed in the browser window. This setting continues to be used until another IBrowse_TextSize is encountered. If iBrowse is restarted, the text size reverts to the value in the .ini file. This tag is only valid for iBrowse when running in Internet Explorer 6 mode.

Example

<HTML> <HEAD> <META HTTP-Equiv=“IBrowse_TextSize” content=“medium”> </HEAD> <BODY> <H2>Text Size Update</H2> <P>The text size has been set to medium</P> </BODY> </HTML>

IBrowse_UpdateIni

This updates the settings stored in the Browse.ini file. This can be used for modifying settings without having to have someone physically touch each one. This is also useful if there is a need to change settings such as battery status display and available menus on a regular basis.

Syntax

HTTP-Equiv=”IBrowse_UpdateIni” content= Section;Key;Value

Comments

The content section contains the section, key, and value to update in the .ini file. A semicolon must separate these values. The section and key must be valid values for the .ini file or the update does not occur.

This META Tag can be used to update the following sections and keys:

• [Admin]: HomePage, DisableHomeCommand, DisableExitCommand, DisableSIPCommand, DisableOptionsMenu, PerformNetworkTests, F1HelpPage, DisablePageRefreshCommand

• [PLSeriesPrinter]: COMPort, BaudRate

• [Display]: DisplayBatteryStatus, DisplaySignalStrength, UpdateInterval, TextSize

• [Keys]: AboutKey, HomeKey, OptionsKey, ExitKey, F1HelpKey, FKeyX

IBrowse_ScannerAutoTrigger

This tag is page-specific. When used, the scanner trigger is automatically enabled, allowing continuous and repeated scans.

Note: Some scanning devices may flash the scanner beam. The iBrowse application does not control the frequency of this action.

Note: CV60 computers do not support the auto-trigger feature.

Syntax

HTTP-Equiv=”IBrowse_ScannerAutoTrigger” content=”Enabled | Disabled | AutoTab | AutoEnter | AutoEnterAndTab”

Comments

This tag is currently supported only for the laser scanner. Be careful with its use, as powering the scanner continuously drains the battery very quickly. This tag does not function if UseWedgeMode is enabled in the Browse.ini file.

Example

iBrowse Custom Edit Control

The iBrowse custom edit control (ITCAXEdit.DLL) is automatically installed with the iBrowse application. Although ITCAXEdit is not required, it provides additional functionality beyond what the standard edit box provides. Note that the custom edit control is only available on computers running Windows Mobile.

Using the ITCAXEdit Control on a Web Page

Note: ITCAXEdit control is not supported on Windows CE computers.

Instantiate the control once for each edit box that needs to go on a page. Thus, a page with five edit boxes needs to instantiate ITCAXEdit five times. Do the instantiation in the HTML source where the control is needed.

Example

This source creates a simple page with two edit boxes. The first one is named IBEAX1 and the second is named IBEAX2.

<HTML> <HEAD></HEAD> <BODY> EditBox1 <OBJECT ID=”IBEAX1” CLASSID=”CLSID:D8A6AACE-0F024440-8F07-64CF68F33DE9” WIDTH=”50” HEIGHT=”25”> <br> EditBox2 <OBJECT ID=”IBEAX2” CLASSID=”CLSID:D8A6AACE-0F024440-8F07-64CF68F33DE9” WIDTH=”50” HEIGHT=”25”> <br> </BODY> </HTML>

ITCAXEdit Parameters and Functions

You can call all functions using the <PARAM> tag when instantiating the control or from JavaScript code in the HTML.

ALIGNMENT

ALIGNMENT controls the justification of the text in the Edit Box. Password fields are automatically left-aligned.

Syntax

/*[out, retval]*/ BSTR *pVal /*[in]*/ BSTR newVal);

ENABLESCANNER

ENABLESCANNER controls whether the scanner is enabled when the edit box gets focus. When the edit box loses focus, the scanner is disabled. Do not use this parameter if using META tags to control scanning. JavaScript code can get and set this value. If UseWedgeMode is enabled in the .ini file, this setting has no effect on scanning. If JavaScript sets

58 iBrowse User’s Guide

ENABLESCANNER to TRUE, the scanner is not enabled until the next time the Edit Box gets focus.

Syntax

/*[out, retval]*/ BSTR *pVal /*[in]*/ BSTR newVal);

Value Action

ENABLED Enables the scanner when the edit box gets focus and disables the

scanner when focus is lost

DISABLED Does not attempt to enable or disable the scanner (default)

AUTOTAB Enables the scanner when the edit box gets focus and disables the

scanner when focus is lost. When a valid scan is received, the scanner appends a tab to the bar code value.

AUTOENTER Enables the scanner when the edit box gets focus and disables the

scanner when focus is lost. When a valid scan is received, the scanner appends an enter to the bar code value.

Example

Creates a single edit box, enables the scanner when the edit box gets focus.

<HTML> <HEAD></HEAD> <BODY> EditBox1 <OBJECT ID=”IBEAX1” CLASSID=”CLSID:D8A6AACE-0F024440-8F07-64CF68F33DE9” WIDTH=”50” HEIGHT=”25”> <PARAM NAME=”ENABLESCANNER” VALUE=”ENABLED” </BODY>

iBrowse Navigation

The following information is directly relevant to the CK30 and CK31 computers because they do not have touch screens; however, it can be used with any of the other computer models as well.

Keyboard Navigation

To aid in navigation on computers with no touch screen, iBrowse contains many specific features to allow navigation though the keyboard.

• The IBrowse_OnKey Meta tag maps key values on a page-by-page basis

• [F1] Help option. Through the .ini file, you can set iBrowse to set the

to navigate to a specific web page or run a JavaScript function on the current page. With this, you can assign each link available on a page a navigation key, and can set up a key to navigate back to the previous page. See the sample web pages installed to the “\windows\ibrowse” directory for examples.

[F1] key to bring up a custom help page. This page could contain generic instructions on how to use iBrowse or a list of links to help bring up other windows such as Options, About, or Exit. See “Reserved HREF Values” on the next page for more information on HREF values. A default help page, F1HELP.HTML, is installed to the “\windows\ibrowse” directory.

• Persistent key remapping through the [Keys] section of the .ini file maps keys permanently to features such as Return to the Home Page, Options screen, About screen, and Exit screen.

• On CK30 computers with the standard operating system and certain Windows Mobile computers, you can use the arrow keys to scroll up, down, left and right when scroll bars are present.

• On a page with edit boxes, you can toggle between the arrow key scrolling in the edit box and scrolling the page by pressing the Enter key. For example, when a page loads and if the Edit box has focus, pressing the arrow keys scroll the cursor in the edit box.

• If the Enter key is pressed, the cursor leaves the edit box and pressing the arrow keys scrolls the entire web page. You can avoid this need to scroll the web page if all pages are designed to fit on one screen. When the Edit box has focus, press [Enter], then [Tab] to tab between multiple edit boxes.

Error message at startup:

A Wireless network is not currently available.

Microsoft ActiveSync does not work after installing iBrowse.

When moving between edit fields on a web page, the onscreen keyboard disappears and takes several taps on the keyboard icon to bring it back up.

Bluetooth does not seem to set up correctly after a cold boot.

The scanner is enabled on a page where it should not be .

The scanner is not enabled on a page where it should be.

Enable showing scripting errors by creating the following key and value. For more information on this topic, see the Pocket PC SDK online help, then tap Find to search for “Scripting”.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]”ShowScriptErrors”=dword:00000001

When using ActiveX controls, mark the controls as “Safe for Scripting” when they are compiled. Controls not marked “Safe for Scripting” are not allowed to run. For more information on this topic, see the Pocket PC SDK online help, then search for “Declaring Your Control as ‘Safe for Scripting’”.

Make sure your CK30 computer is running a current operating system and that you have the most recent version of iBrowse.

Ensure the computer is connected to a network. Ensure that a gateway or default router is set.

iBrowse ensures the computer has network access before starting up. If no signal strength is found from the wireless radio, then this message is displayed. The wireless network settings may not be properly configured.

iBrowse disables ActiveSync to help maintain its locked-down mode. To enable ActiveSync, exit iBrowse, go to Start > ActiveSync, then select Tools > Options in the bottom left corner. In this screen, you can enable ActiveSync. You have to do this after each time you run iBrowse.

This is usually because the INPUT tag lacks the type attribute. To correct this problem, ensure that all <input> tags include ‘type=“text”’. For example <input type=“text” name=“Field1”size=“12” ID=“Text1”>

There was an issue with the installation process. Bluetooth would install its drivers and then required some user interaction to finish setting it up. In the meantime, iBrowse would install and tell the computer to reboot. This meant Bluetooth was never installed correctly. This issue was fixed with some updated system software.

Versions of the 700 Color computer operating system prior to 1.31 did not correctly disable built-in scanners. Tethered scanners are not supported.

For built-in scanners, if using META tags, this issue can occur when a page is made of frames or bookmarks. The only current options are to use wedge mode scanning or the ITCAXEdit control for scanning.

The iBrowse application is a locked-down application. Users can not move between applications.

iBrowse User’s Guide 75

Known Issues

\n\t as a postamble for scanning does not correctly move to the next field on some computers. Use \r\t instead.

CK30 Printing from meta tags and the line printer control do not work.

CE 5.0 computers may show Too... instead of To o ls on the navigation bar.

Windows Mobile prompts for where to reinstall files if more than one storage option is available on the computer. To prevent this, add the /noaskdest or /noui flag to the HKEY\cabfile\shell\open\command registry key, for example: Under HKEY\cabfile\shell\open\command, set the default value to \windows\wceload /noui “%1”

CN2 scanning does not work properly and may take an extraordinarily long time to start up and exit the iBrowse application.

ITCAXEdit works only on 700 Color computers running either the Pocket PC orWindows Mobile operating system.

The use of the F3 function key on Intermec Windows Mobile 5.0 handhelds may trigger an error popup message that says "':MSCprog' cannot be opened". This “error” is caused by the operating system intercepting the function key before it gets to iBrowse and interpreting it as a request to launch a program called MSCprog.exe. This interception is by Microsoft design. Please note that as the Windows Mobile 5.0 platforms continue to evolve, more of the function keys are being reserved for the use of the operating system.

Application Version History

Version 1.48

Added:

Added support for 700 Color and CK32 computers running Windows Mobile 5.0 along with CV30 computers running Windows CE 5.0.

Added new SIP selection section to the .ini file.

Corrected SIP handling so that the SIP is properly hidden when navigating to a new page on Windows Mobile computers.

Corrected the handling of the META Tag IBrowse_Code39_Format_FullAscii.

The Page Not Found functionality could no longer be supported with new Windows Mobile 6.0 browser object now being installed with the latest release of Windows Mobile 5.0 Operating Systems for Intermec mobile computers. The Page Not Found functionality has been removed. Page load errors should be handled by returning to the Home Page or Refreshing the current page.

Corrected the application lockup issue that would occur when the iBrowse application was opened multiple times via the Windows Mobile application keys.

Version 1.45

Added

Added support for the CK60, CN30 computers running Windows Mobile 5.0.

Added support for CN2, CV60 computers with Windows CE 4.2, CK60 with Windows CE 5.0, and CK60, CN30 computers with Windows Mobile.

Updated iBrowse desktop icon.

Changed Meta tag Scanning to disable scanner and keep disabled until any required navigation is complete.

Meta tag IBrowse_GetDeviceType added to return the Intermec Device Type. See “Custom META Tags for iBrowse”

on page 41 for more information.

.cab file now contains compressed files to speed download and file copy.

Version 1.40

Added:

Internet Explorer 6 Mode can change font size using a META tag or INI file setting.

Meta tag IBrowse_GetBluetoothScannerInfo.

FKey mapping via META tags or the INI file to persistent jscript or URL.

When scanning a maximum of 80 bytes was returned. iBrowse will now allow a maximum of 2048 bytes.

About screen was not centering the Intermec logo.

Fixed an issue when scanning that some characters would not display correctly.

iBrowse User’s Guide 77

Version 1.30

Added:

iBrowse works on CK30 Premium Computers. On these computers, iBrowse is in an IE6 compatible mode, not the Pocket Internet Explorer (IE) mode.

After exiting iBrowse, the autosync activesync state is reset to the value it was at previous to starting iBrowse.

Added PerformNetworkTests setting to the INI file so the pinging on startup and before every page navigation can be disabled if desired.

Added ability to disable the SIP button from displaying and hiding the SIP keyboard.

Added a new scanning meta tag option that automatically adds an Enter and a Tab after the scanned data to help move between fields (see “IBrowse_Scanner” on page 47 for more information).

CK30 Premium browser shows a download progress bar in the upper left corner of the screen instead of an hour glass when navigating to a new page.

Added a message box that displays “The page you are looking for cannot be found.” if the LinkNotFoundPage option of the INI file is disabled. This provides users with better feedback when a page navigation fails.

Corrected:

PageNotFound navigation could cause a lockup if a link was double tapped.

When closing iBrowse on Windows Mobile 2003 computers, iBrowse was not exiting fully and so iBrowse could not be restarted. Correction involves ensuring that the correct system components are properly loaded. This is done by installing the 700ppc2003cab.cab file from the latest 700 series SDK.

Some computers, when updated to the latest operating system, were required to update 802.1x radio drivers. This caused an issue that would make iBrowse report that there was no network connection available. A more generic method of determining the gateway address to check for connectivity is now used and a setting was added to the INI file to allow customers to disable the network tests that would display this error.

Printing to the PL4 Series Printer did not function. Changes were made to iBrowse to correct this issue but Windows Mobile 2003 computers still require the latest Bluetooth updates (SR04188001.cab) to function correctly.

iBrowse does not always appear on the Start Menu on Windows Mobile 2003. This is a feature of Windows Mobile 2003 that only allows nine items to appear on the Start Menu. Reduce the number of items by going to Settings and selecting the Menu applet.

CK30 Computers were not correctly reporting the UUID.

Warm booting with the iBrowse Meta tag caused the scanner state to change instead of resetting the scanner state to what it was prior to iBrowse starting.

Version 1.20

Added:

Added support for CK30 Handheld Computers with a standard operating system and 700 Series computers with Windows Mobile 2003.

Added checks to provide extended feedback to the user about network errors. See “iBrowse Connectivity Messages” on

page 21.

Added INI based persistent Keymappings to provide hotkeys to various functionality in iBrowse (Exit, options, about, Home). See page 18 .

Added F1Helpkey abilities so that when the F1 key is pressed a web page will be displayed with help for the user. See

page 14.

Added a notfoundpage option that will display a predefined web page when the browser could not successfully navigate to the appropriate page. See page 14.

Fixed:

IBrowse_OnKey key remapping is only limited by memory and the number of keys available.

Version 1.10

Added:

Added support for custom META tags. See “Custom META Tags for iBrowse” on page 41 for more information.

The onscreen keyboard does not flash up on the screen when an edit box was selected but the keyboard icon was not tapped.

Added built-in support for scanning. See “Custom META Tags for iBrowse” on page 41 for more information

Added built-in support for the Intermec PL4 Portable Printer. See “Custom META Tags for iBrowse” on page 41 for information.

Added indicators for battery status and signal strength.

Added ability to disable some of the icons and menu options.

Added support for the ITCAXEdit ActiveX control.

Fixed:

Temporary fix was added for a Bluetooth issue. After a suspend/resume, the Bluetooth stack is reloaded and it brings the command bar to the foreground. iBrowse now looks for a message that indicates the stack is reloaded and then disables the command bar again, but this leaves a short amount of time where a user could get into the system.

Version 1.01

Added:

Added support for the special TE Bundle.

Added code to ensure that iBrowse was still full screen after applications opened on top of iBrowse are closed.
