Scanning Modes

Table 1-1 describes the MK22X0 scan modes.

MK22X0 Introduction 1 - 7

Table 1-1

Scan Mode Description Scan Pattern

Cyclone Omnidirectional 1D Scan Pattern (recommended)

Always Raster Scan Pattern

Smart Raster Scan Pattern

Common Scan Modes

A highly efficient scan pattern which decodes 1D and EAN/UCC reduced space symbologies in any orientation.

Note: In this mode, the MK22X0 does not decode 2D bar codes like PDF417.

Directly opens the laser to a full sized Raster pattern. Decodes 1D and PDF417.

Creates a single scan line which opens vertically for PDF417 symbols using the Smart Raster feature. This feature autodetects the type of bar code presented and adjusts its pattern accordingly. This provides optimal performance on 1D, PDF417, and EAN/UCC.

1 - 8 MK22X0 Series MicroKiosk for CE .NET 4.2 Product Reference Guide

Scanning Guidelines

When scanning a bar code:

•

Hold the bar code below the scan window at an approximately 45o angle.

•

Hold the bar code at an angle which does not cause specular reflection (see Specular Reflection on page

1-11).

•

Hold the bar code close for small bar codes and farther away for large bar codes.

Figure 1-4

Scanning with the MK22X0

MK22X0 Introduction 1 - 9

Cyclone Omnidirectional

In Cyclone Omnidirectional mode the scan pattern decodes standard 1-dimensional symbologies in any orientation. This mode cannot be used to decode 2D bar codes like PDF417.

Figure 1-5

Cyclone Omnidirectional Pattern

Smart Raster

In Smart Raster mode, a single scan line pattern appears that decodes a standard bar code. If a 2D bar code is presented, the scanning pattern opens up to a full, optimized raster pattern.

Smart Raster Scanning Pattern

1 - 10 MK22X0 Series MicroKiosk for CE .NET 4.2 Product Reference Guide

The raster pattern must cover the top and bottom of a 2D symbol. If not, pull the bar code further away until the pattern completely covers the bar code. Make sure the scan pattern extends at least three quarters of an inch beyond the edges of the bar code.

3/4”

Figure 1-7

Raster Pattern Expanded Over PDF417 Bar Code

3/4”

If the vertical scan pattern is not high enough to cover a “tall” PDF417 symbol, move the bar code slowly down toward the bottom of the scan beam, keeping the beam horizontal to the rows, then slowly back up to the top. Alternatively, move the bar code further away from the scan ner u ntil the scan pattern covers a larger portion of the bar code in the vertical direction.

Figure 1-8

The scan beam does not have to be perfectly parallel with the top and bottom of the symbol (up to a 4

permitted). Ensure the symbol is in good condition.

MK22X0 Introduction 1 - 11

Specular Reflection

When laser beams reflect directly back into the scanner from the bar code, they can “blind” the scanner and make decoding difficult. This phenomenon is called specular reflection.

To avoid this, scan the bar code so that the beam does not bounce directly back. But do not scan at too oblique an angle; the scanner needs to collect scattered reflections from the scan to make a successful decode. Practice quickly shows what tolerances to work within.

Figure 1-9

Avoiding Specular Reflection

Tilt Bar Code At Slight Angle (Up to 30°)

No specular reflection. Decode can occur.

When scanning a 1D bar code, there is only a small specular dead zone to avoid (+ The specular dead zone is larger for scanning PDF417 (+ not effective if its beams hit the bar code surface at an angle greater than 30

9o from the direct laser beam). However, the scanner is

2o from the direct laser beam).

Chapter 3 Configuration

Overview

This chapter describes how to set up and configure the MK22X0 applications, communications, and network settings which include parameters such as the device name, internet browser settings, date and time, an d several other key settings.

Configure these settings remotely using the Symbol Remote Device Manager (RDM), or locally on the MK22X0 using the System Menu. These settings are saved in the configuration re gistry file (mkconfig.reg) in the MK22X0 Application folder to maintain them across cold boot cycles.

Table 3-1

Remote Device Manager (RDM) X System Menu X Control Panel X

Methods of Configuring the MK22X0

Configuration Method Remote Local

Remote Configuration using Symbol Remote Device Manager

Use the Symbol Remote Device Manager (RDM) to configure parameters remotely. RDM is a Windows®-based utility that runs on a host computer and generates/edits an MK22X0 configuration file (mkconfig.reg). Load this file onto the MK22X0 and reboot the MK22X0 to configure the device.

See Chapter 4, Remote Device Manager for more details.

Local Configuration

Using the System Menu

The System Menu function sets configuration parameters locally on the MK22X0. The System Menu is similar to the MK22X0 Configuration Utility window of the RDM, except the virtual keyboard is used to enter information. From within the System menu, use the file (mkconfig.reg). The new settings are invoked upon the next cold boot. See System Menu on page 3-5.

File > Save option to save the changes and update the configuration registry

Using the Microsoft Windows Control Panel

The Control Panel on the MK22X0 St art menu chan ges a limited number of pa rameters. If d esired, use the Control Panel to change the functions listed in Control Panel Configuration Parameters on page 3-23; however Symbol recommends only changing the Stylus Settings/Touch Screen Calibration using the Control Panel. To save changes to the mkconfig.reg configuration file, select across cold boot cycles.

Start > Programs > Save Configuration to maintain the settings

Updating the Device Configuration File

Use one of the following methods to update the device configuration file (mkconfig.reg) locally on the MK22X0.

•

Start > Programs > Save Configuration

Figure 3-1

•

Save Configuration Screens

The Save Configuration option uses the current registry parameter values and writes them to the mkcofig.reg

file. The windows shown in Figure 3-1 appear while the file is saved and written. Not all registry values are

saved with this option; only the registry parameter values that can be configured using the RDM or the

System Menu (and some system parameters) are written and saved to the mkconfig.reg file.

Start > Programs > System Menu > File > Save.

Figure 3-2

System Menu Main Screen

This option reads the current content of the mkcofig.reg file, allows user changes, then writes them back to

the mkcofig.reg file. The window shown in Figure 3-2 reads and displays the current contents of the

mkconfig.reg file. Tap an item listed in the left window pane to display current mkconfig.reg file information.

Configuration 3 - 3

Edits are permitted to the current file information in the text boxes that appear in the right pane. Tap File >

Save

to save changes and write them to the mkconfig.reg file.

NOTE If upgrading the MK22X0 OS and a configuration (.reg) file was created using an older OS version, you

must create a new .reg file (see Creating a Configuration File on page 4-11). For more information about upgrades, see Appendix H, OS Upgrade Procedures.

Downloading the Configuration File to the MK22X0

Before downloading the configuration file (.reg file) to the MK22X0 Application folder, rename it mkconfig.reg. In MK22X0 Configuration Utility window, select file mkconfig.reg, and click Save.

Use one of the following methods to download the file to the MK22X0:

•

Use the RDM to “push” the file to the MK22X0(s) (see Downloading the Configuration File to the MK22X0

Using the RDM on page 4-13).

•

Copy the mkconfig.reg file to the MK22X0 Application folder using a USB ActiveSync connection (see

Downloading the Configuration File Using ActiveSync on page 3-3).

•

Send the file to the MK22X0 Application folder using FTP (see the instructions provided with the FTP

software) or AirBeam.

File > Open and select the file, then select File > Save As, rename the

•

Copy the mkconfig.reg file to a PCMCIA card, then transfer the file into the MK22X0 Application folder.

Downloading the Configuration File Using ActiveSync

To copy the mkconfig.reg from the host computer to the MK22X0 Application folder (My Computer/Application) using ActiveSync:

1. Connect the MK22X0 to the host computer by connecting the USB cable (Symbol p/n 25-64626-01R) to the

RS-485 port on the MK22X0, and the other end to a USB port on the host computer.

Rebooting the MK22X0

After downloading the mkconfig.reg file, perform a remote or local cold boot to apply the new setti ngs.

Remote Boot

After loading the configuration file onto the MK22X0 us ing the wir ed or wir eless Ethern et connection, use th e RDM to send a command over the network to initiate a remote cold boot of the MK22X0.

1. Select the MK22X0 to cold boot from the list box in the Remote Device Manager screen.

2. From the RDM main toolbar, select Actions > Cold Boot. Allow approximately one minute for the MK22X0 to

reboot and reconnect, then select

Local Boot

To manually cold boot the MK22X0, which enables the settings within the mkconfig.reg file to load, press and hold buttons B and C on the MK22X0 (see Figure 1-1 on page 1-2) until the display goes blank (typically 15 seconds), then release the buttons.

View > Refresh to verify the device rebooted successfully.

System Menu

Setting Defaults Using the System Menu

Use the System Menu to set parameter values locally on the MK22X0. See Default Parameters on page 3-6 for these options. The System Menu is identical to the MK22X0 Configuration Utility window, and provides local instead of remote access to the same parameters. The System Menu modifies parameters in the configuration file (mkconfig.reg) on the MK22X0.

NOTE Saving the System Menu configuration overwrites mkconfig.reg. Reboot the MK22X0 to apply the values.

To launch the System Menu, even while an application is running, press the physical buttons A, B, and C simultaneously. Use the virtual keyboard to enter data. To launch the virtual keyboard, press buttons B and C simultaneously.

Device Activity Management (Sleep/Wake-up Functionality)

Use the Device Activity Manager to manage the device usage profile and lifecycle by turning on/of f the scan engine laser and the display backlight. Set the sleep and wake-up times by day, weekday, weekend, etc.

NOTE It is strongly advised to use the Device Activity Management functionality.

If the Device Activity Manager (DAM) puts the scan engine and/or backlight into sleep mode, these subsystems repower (wake up) upon the following events:

•

a button press

•

a display touch.

The DAM only checks whether to turn devices on or off when the Inactivity Applica tion Timeout expires. If a device wakes up due to user input (a “wakeup”), it remains awake regardless of user input until another timeout expires, then goes back to sleep.

To use the DAM without the Inactivity Application Manager, configure the Inactivity Application Timeout to the default wakeup time and set the Inactivity Application parameter to nothing.

NOTE Use the RDM or System Menu to set up the Device Activity Manager. Enter valid values to all DAM

parameters (see page 3-11). Otherwise the system rejects the input values and the DAM does not invoke the Inactivity Application.

Printing

The MK22X0 supports printing text, bar codes, and bitmaps in the following environments:

•

Browser applications

•

The MK22X0 transmits data to a pr inter using an RS-232 serial or USB connection. RS-232 serial port settings (port, stop bits, data bits, parity) are shared with the tethered scanner. Table 3-5 contains the default baud rate settings for the following printers:

•

Zebra QL (QL320, Cameo, Encore)

•

Zebra EPL Series (LP/TLP 2824, LP/TLP 2844, TLP 3842)*

•

Zebra ZPL (LP/TLP 2844-Z, TLP 3844-Z)

•

Epson TML90

•

Epson TMT88III.

* Zebra LP printers ship in Gap mode. If using a printer in Continuous Paper mode, the autosense does not work and you must manually set the gap to zero. To avoid this, send a command to the printer to change the mode. Refer to the Zebra printer documentation.

Advanced Printer Monitoring Functionality

For some printers, such as the Zebra QL Series, the MK22X0 supports advanced printer monitoring functionality, such as:

•

Detecting if the printer cable is connected

•

Detecting if the printer power is on

•

Detecting if the printer is out of paper

•

Detecting if the printer door is open.

Connecting a Tethered Scanner

The MK22X0 supports attachment of the Sym bol LS1902T or LS2208 external tethered hand-held scanner. The tethered scanner data integrates into the data strea m generated by the internal scanner dr iver . The dat a originating from the tethered scanner uses the same format as the data from the internal scanner.

This feature supports the following programm ing env iro nm e nts:

•

C/C++

•

Browser

•

.NET.

To configure the MK22X0 for tethered scanner support:

1. Configure the MK22X0 serial port. In the MK22X0 Configuration Utility window, enable support for a tethered

external scanner and set the serial parameters (baud, parity, data bits, stop bits). Note that flow control is not supported. See Tethered Scanner on page 3-17.

2. Attach the external scanner using cable p/n 25-56221-20.

3. Use the tethered scanner Product Reference Guide to set the following parameters in order to operate with the

MK22X0:

• Set

• Confirm the tethered scanner baud rate matches the setting in the MK22X0 Configuration Utility window

4. Launch the application that accepts data from the MK22X0’s internal scan engine. The tethered scanner data

enters the application as though it came from the internal scan engine.

Chapter 4 Remote Device Manager

Overview

The Symbol Remote Device Manager (RDM) v 2.4.X is a simple, menu-based Windows® utility for streamlining large and small site deployments. This utility allows a user to remotely stage (discover and configure) and monitor networked MK22X0s.

The RDM functionality falls into five categories:

•

Generating a device configuration file

•

Performing discovery (detection) of devices on a network

•

Enabling automated staging/configuring/provisioning of networked devices

•

Remote monitoring

•

Remotely initiating device functionality.

Generating Configuration Files

Use the Create Local Configuration File feature of RDM to create an MK2 2 X0 co nfiguration file (mkconfig.reg). When loaded onto the device, this file customizes the MK22X0 communication settings, application settings, date and time setup, and much more.

After generating the mkconfig.reg file, load it into the MK22X0

4 - 2 MK22X0 Series MicroKiosk for CE .NET 4.2 Product Reference Guide

Performing Discovery (Detection) of Devices on a Network

The RDM discovers and displays the IP addresses of MK22X0s on dif ferent su bnet s to which the host computer is connected, provided that the broadcast IP address is set correctly. See Setting RDM Options on page 4-13 for more details.

The RDM utility broadcasts a request for discovery, and each MK22X0 responds with its IP address. The RDM utility displays all responding MK22X0 IP addresses on the main

The RDM can remotely initiate actions, such as playing a sound file, on the discovered device to help locate it in a store environment.

Automated Staging/Configuring/Provisioning of Networked Devices

The RDM can load a device configuration file (mkconfig.reg) onto an MK22X0 remotely. This process is automated and does not require user intervention.

For details, see Creating a Configuration File on p age 4-11 and Downloading the Configuration File to the MK22X0

Using the RDM on page 4-13.

Remote Monitoring

Use the RDM to determine device-specific information. After performing discovery, select an MK22X0 from the discovery list box to retrieve information to view:

•

Device general information

•

Operating System versions

•

Storage information

•

Partition information

•

Application versions

•

RF Signal Strength.

See Monitoring MK22X0s on a Network on page 4-15 for more information.

Remotely Initiating Select Device Functionality

Use the RDM to remotely initiate select functionality on MK22X0s. After performing discovery, highlight desired devices from the discovery list box to initiate remote functionality on these devices, such as launching AirBeam Smart or rebooting the device.
