Introduction
Janam’s XG100 Series has been optimized to meet the unique requirements of mobile workers in
warehouses, distribution centers, loading docks and other operating venues where rugged gun-shaped
mobile computers are deployed. While its center-weighted ergonomic design makes it uniquely balanced
and light, the Microsoft Windows-based XG100 is a powerful workhorse that delivers state-of-the-art
computing performance in an exceptionally rugged package. Designed for the work at hand, the XG100
delivers superior performance and flexibility at a great price.
About the Janam XG100
The XG100 has a light, sleek, highly-functional form factor for intensive barcode scanning. Its unique,
center-weighted ergonomics, with battery positioned in handle, make it feel remarkably light and balanced
in the hand. It features a color, quarter-VGA display, Marvell XScale PXA320 624MHz processor and
robust 802.11 b/g Summit WLAN radio with Cisco’s CCX v4 support. It has an extra-wide keypad area
with large, easily-depressed buttons and superior backlighting. The XG100 meets IP64 sealin g
requirements, withstands multiple 6’ drops to concrete on all sides across wide temperature range and
survives 2,000 tumbles in a rotating test chamber.
Further enhancing its value, the XG100 features integrated 1D barcode scanning as well as built-in 2D
barcode scanning capability. Janam’s 2D scanning solution enables users to upgrade barcode scanning
capability from 1D to 1D/2D on any device at any time with a simple firmware upgrade. With Adaptus®
Imaging Technology, the XG100 easily reads all types of barcode symbologies including linear, stacked
and 2D. It offers the flexibility to adapt as business needs change, without the need to invest in new
hardware.

To Troubleshoot During ROM Update:
If windows is not recognizing the device it may be that sometimes when Windows attempts to find a
device and the appropriate driver, and it takes too long, so the process aborts. Typically, on the
second (or sometimes third) attempt, Windows will properly discover the device. If the problem
persists:
•
Disconnect the sync cable from the device and perform a soft reset. With the cable already
plugged into the host computer, reconnect the XG100.
