Bar Code Decoding
The MK3000 decodes any traditional retail 1D or 2D (image r-based only) b ar code presente d in its fie ld of view.
Scanning with the MK3000
When scanning a bar code using the laser-based MK3000:
•
Hold the bar code at an angle that does not cause specular reflection (see Specular Reflection on page
1-7).
•
Hold the bar code close for small bar codes and farther away for large bar codes.
•
The MK3000 beeps to indicate a successful decode.

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 a t 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.

CHAPTER 3 CONFIGURATION
Overview
This chapter describes how to set up and configure the MK3000 applications, communications, and network
settings which include parameters such as the device name, internet browser settings, date and time, and
several other key settings.
Configure these settings remotely using the System Configuration Manager (SCM), or locally on the MK3000
using the Control Panel. These settings are saved in the configuration registry file (mkconfig.reg) in th e
MK3000 Application folder to maintain them across cold boot cycles. For information on using the Control
Panel, refer to the Microsoft Applications for Mobile and Windows CE 5.0 User Guide.
System Configuration Manager
The System Configuration Manager (SCM) is a Windows®-based utility that runs on a host computer and
creates/edits an MK3000 configuration file (mkconfig.reg). Load this file onto the MK3000 and reboot the
MK3000 to set configuration parameters for the device. The configurable options for the MK3000 are defined in
an XML file that is available from Support Central at http://www.motorola.com/enterprisemobility/support. SCM
is also available at Support Central.
SCM eliminates the potential user errors that occur when manually editing registry settings.
File Types
SCM uses three types of files:
•
Symbol Configuration Template (.SCT) files are XML files that define the configurable p a rameters for a
device.
•
Registry Configuration Service Provider XML files for device provisioning.
•
CAB Provisioning Format (.CPF) file which is a .CAB archive that contains the provisioning XML. This file
is downloaded to the MK3000 and merged upon a cold boot.
Page 36
3 - 2MK3000 MicroKiosk for Windows CE 5.0 Product Reference Guide
User Interface
SCM's user interface consists of a tree control on the left side of the window that displays all the configuration
categories, and a data grid table on the right which displays all the configurable controls for the selected
category. Figure 3-1 shows the main window for a device’s .sct file.

RegMerge and CopyFiles
RegMerge and CopyFiles are two device drivers included in the Windows CE OS to assist developers in
configuring the MK3000 following a cold boot. See Flash Storage on page 5-23 for more information.
Accessing the Windows CE Desktop
If an MK3000 is configured to launch an application on power-up, you can bypass the application at boot-up to
access to the Windows
®
CE desktop.
Network Time Update: SNTP Client
The MK3000 Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) client can automatically set and update the MK3000 time
and date through the network. Use this feature to set the system time an d date af ter reboot s or power out ages.
This feature also ensures consistent time an d da te stamping across a fleet of MK3000s. The SNTP Client
program queries the specified SNTP server over the network to set the time and date.
The SNTP client shipped with MK3000 Windows CE 5.0 is the Microsoft default SNTP Client program.
Memory Management
Flash: Nonvolatile (Persistent) Memory
The MK3000 64 MB configuration has 64 MB of available nonvolatile flash memory. 5 MB is committed for
platform partition use to install external driver packs such as RF drivers, and 27 MB is available for developer’s
applications within the application partition (folder). The data partition (folder) has no available memory. The
data stored in flash memory persists through cold boot cycles.
To increase usable persistent (flash) memory, use the Terminal Configuration Manager (TCM) to adjust the
allocation of memory between the application and data partitions. See Chapter 5, Application Deployment.
Add a microSD card to the MK3000 to increase the non-volatile memory available for file storage.
RAM: Volatile (Non-Persistent) Memory
The MK3000 has 128 MB of DRAM volatile memory. Developers can automate control of the device’s RAM
(volatile) memory allocation (storage vs. memory used to run programs) to persist memory allocation settings
through cold boot cycles.

components designed specifically for Symbol systems.
Loading Additional Fonts on the MK3000
You can program the MK3000 to support additional fonts such as Unicode and double-byte character font.
The MK3000 supports the following system fonts as shipped from the factory. The font files corresponding to
these formats are located in the
\windows folder with .ttf extension.
System Features4 - 3
•
Arial
•
Comic Sans MS
•
Courier New
•
Georgia
•
Symbol
•
Tahoma
•
Times New Roman
•
Verdana
•
Wingding.
The default system font path for these fonts is \windows.
Use one of the following options to load fonts not supplied with the MK3000:
•
Change the system font path where the system looks for fonts. For example, to change default system
font path from
in
\application\fonts:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\FontPath]
"FontPath"="\application\fonts"
Adding this registry changes the entire system fonts directory, so fonts supplied with the OS ar e no
longer available. To use both the provided system fonts and new fonts, copy the system default fonts to
the new font directory.
\windows to \application\fonts add the following registry to the system along with new fonts
•
Copy new/alternate fonts to the default \windows directory.
•
Copy alternate fonts to the \windows\fonts directory.
Copying new fonts to the \windows or \windows\fonts pr eserves existing fonts. However the new fonts
consume system RAM as they are part of the ObjectStore.
Page 42
4 - 4MK3000 MicroKiosk for Windows CE 5.0 Product Reference Guide
Using the third option, i.e., copying fonts to the \windows\fonts directory, makes it easier to manage the system.
Note that fonts copied to \windows or \windows\fonts do not persist over power cycles or cold boots. Use the
copy file feature to persist them over power cycles or cold boots.
Using Additional Fonts in Native Applications
Any application written in EVC can use the additional fonts using either MFC or Win32 APIs. If a spe cified font
is missing, the system uses an available font for display.
Using Additional Fonts in Managed Applications
All fonts installed in the system are available to the .Net Compact Framework during runtime.
Using Additional Fonts in Browser Applications
Regardless of how you installed the font in the system, to reference it using a browse r page, speci fy the font as
a STYLE, or use FONT tags. Use intuitive names for the fonts (use FontViewer on a Windows desktop and
locate the
Internet Explorer uses its default font to display the text.
Typeface Name line), and use quotes to enclose names with spaces. If the specified font is missing,
Things to Consider when Using Additional Fonts
•
Different font styles (e.g., bold and italic) often require separate TTF files; be sure to provide all required
styles. Do not reference styles by name (e.g., Arial Bold); set the style separately from the font (e.g.,
using a “b” or “strong” tag, or a style).
•
For best results, do not direct the system font path to a storage card (PCMCIA), as this can negatively
impact system performance. If this method is necessary, test the use of a storage card thoroughly for
fonts to ensure proper operation.
•
Most Web pages contain information that tells the browser what language encoding (the language and
character set) to use. If the page does not include that information, and the Language Encoding
Auto-Select feature is on, Internet Explorer can usually determine the appropriate language encoding. If
not, manually select it using
NOTE If the Auto-Select feature or a specific language pack is not installed, Internet Explorer prompts you to
download the files. Adding languages does not guarantee Web pages display in the preferred language.
View menu > Encoding > More, then select the appropriate language.

Terminal Configuration Manager (TCM)
Terminal Configuration Manager (TCM) is an application that runs on the host computer and customizes flash
file system partitions for the MK3000. The most common use is to create an application p artition hex file that
contains the customer's application. Also use TCM to load hex files to the flash memory of the MK3000.
TCM scripts control the customization of partitions. The scripts cont ain all the informatio n for building an image.
The script is a list of copy commands specifying the files to copy from the development computer to the
partition.
TCM works with a pair of directory windows, one displaying the script and the other displaying the source files
on the development computer. Use standard Windows drag-and-drop operations to add and delete files from
the script window.
The DCP for MK3000 includes scripts Motorola uses to build the standard factory-installed Platform and
Application partitions on the MK3000. The standard Platform partition contains drivers and the Application
partition contains demo applications and optional compon en ts. The standard TCM scr ipts are in the follo win g
folder: C:\Program Files\Symbol Device Configuration Packages\MK3000 v1.0\TCM Scripts.
NOTE Before creating a script to build a hex image, identify the files required (system files, drivers, applications,
etc.) and locate the files’ source directories to ease the script building process.
The processes for building a hex image in TCM include:
•
Starting TCM
•
Defining script properties
•
Creating the script for the hex image
•
Building the image
•
Download the hex image to the MK3000
•
Creating a splash screen
•
Flash storage.
Initial Program Loader (IPL)
Use IPL to download files to the MK3000, to download customized flash file system partitions to the MK3000,
and load hex files to the flash memory of device.
A typical partition is a group of files, combined into a single “partition” that represents a specific area of storage.
Examples of partitions are the flash file systems such as Platform or App lication. ( Using the d esktop comp uter
comparison, these partitions are roughly equivalent to a C: or D: hard disk drive.) In addition to the “hard disk”
partitions, some partitions are used for single items such as the operating system, monitor, or splash screen.
(Again using a desktop computer comparison, these partitions are roughly the equivalent of the BIOS or
special hidden system files.) Updating a partition erases all data previously in its storage region, i.e., it is not a
merge but a replacement operation.
Use TCM to create partition images for selected partitions. All partition images suitable for use by IPL are in
hex file format for transfer by TCM from the development computer to the MK3000.
Upgrade requirements:
•
The hex files to download (on development computer)
•
A connection from the host computer and the MK3000 (either serial or wireless)
•
TCM (on development computer) to download the files.

Creating the Script for the Hex Image
On start-up, TCM displays the TCM window with the Script1 window and File Explorer window pointing to the
following directory:
The Script1 window directory pane displays two partitions: Platform and Application. Depending on the type of
flash chip, the number of partitions can change. You can add files to each of the partitions. TCM functionality
includes:
•
Opening a new or existing script file
•
Copying components to the script window
•
Saving the script file.
Opening a New or Existing Script
You can create a script file from scratch or based on an existing script file. Click Create to create a new script
or click Open to open an existing script (for example, a script provide d in the DCP for M K3000). If you o pen an
existing script and make changes, saving the changes overwrites the original script. To use an original or
Motorola supplied standard script as a base and save the changes in a new script, use the Save As function to
save the script using a different file name.

File Explorer window and dragging them to the Script
Saving the Script
Modifications to a script file can be saved using the Save or the Save As function. Saving changes to an existing
script writes over the original script. To use a Motorola-supplied standard script as a base and save the
changes in a new script, use the
Save As function.
Building the Image
After creating the script, build the hex image defined by the script.
As part of the build, TCM performs a check on the script which verifies that all files referenced in the script
exist. This check is important for previously created scripts to ensure that files referenced in the script are still
in the designated locations.
To build scripts:
1.Click Build on the TCM toolbar. The Configure Build window appears.
Figure 5-9
2.Select the items (partitions) to build using the check box(es) to the left of each named partition.
3.Use the Build Path to define where to store all built partitions.

If one of the partitions is the ESSID, a prompt appears requesting the ESSID value. Deselect the HR (High
Rate) check box when building ESSID images for a device with an FH radio.
Figure 5-10
If one of the partitions is the Splash Screen, a prompt appears requesting both the source Bitmap file and
the destination HEX file.
6.TCM performs a check, and if there are no errors, creates the partition hex files.
If the build fails, TCM does not create the hex files and displays an error message. Two common reasons for a
build failure are:
•
•
Build ESSID Partition Window
TCM could not find the files defined in the script. This error can occur when the files referenced by the
script are no longer stored on the development computer or the folders where they are stored were
renamed.
The total amount of flash memory space that the script requires exceeds the image size. To correct this,
reduce the number of files in the partition or increa se the size of the partition. See Defining Script
Properties on page 5-10 for more information about setting the image size appropriately.

Creating a Splash Screen
The DCP for MK3000 includes the source bitmap files that create the default splash screens. You can
customize the screen by modifying these files using any of the standard windows image editors.
To create a custom splash screen:
1.Use an image editor to open the Splashcolor.bmp file included with the DCP for MK3000.
2.Modify the bitmap file and save.
3.Create a splash partition. See Building the Image on page 5-12.
If you don’t use the default files to create the new splash screens, be sure to preserve the image format of 320
x 216, 8 bits per pixel. Note that 8 bits per pixel only applies to splash scr een images. Once Windows CE is
running, the color density is 16 bits per pixel. See Downloading the Image using IPL on page 5-14 for
information about loading the splash screen using TCM.

Rapid Deployment Client
The Rapid Deployment (RD) Client facilitates software downloads to an MK3000 from a Mobility Services
Platform (MSP) Console’s FTP server. The MSP Console is a web-based interface to the wireless
infrastructure monitoring and management tools provided by the MSP Lite or MSP Enterprise server.
When software packages transfer to the FTP server, an MK3000 on the wireless network can download them
by scanning RD bar codes encoding the location of the software packages. Multiple MK3000s can scan a
single RD bar code.
NOTE For detailed information about the Rapid Deployment Client and creating RD bar codes, refer to the MSP
3.X User’s Guide.
AirBEAM Smart
The AirBEAM Smart product transfers specially designed software packages between a host server and
Motorola wireless device. Before transfer, AirBEAM Smart checks and compares package version, so that only
updated packages load.
AirBEAM Smart resides on radio-equipped clien t de vice s and allows them to re qu e st, down load , an d install
software, as well as to upload files and status data. A single communications session can accomplish both
download and upload of files. The ability to transfer software over a radio network can greatly reduce the
logistical efforts of client software management.
In an AirBEAM Smart system, a network-accessible host server acts as the storage point for the software
transfer. The AirBEAM Smart Client uses the industry standard FTP or TFTP file transfer protocols to check the
host system for updates and, if necessary, to transfer updated software.
NOTE For more information about AirBEAM Smart, refer to the AirBEAM
Reference Guide and
AirBEAM Package Builder Product Reference Guide.

Flash Storage
In addition to the RAM-based storage standard on Windows CE devices, the MK3000 also includes a
non-volatile flash-based storage area which can store data (partitions) that a cold boot cannot corrupt. This
flash area is divided into two sections: flash file system (FFS) partitions and non-FFS partitions.
FFS Partitions
The MK3000 includes two FFS partitions. These partitions appear to the MK3000 as a hard drive that the OS
file system can write files to and read files from. Data is retained even if power is removed.
The two FFS partitions appear as the following two separate folders in the Windows CE file system:
•
Platform: The Platform FFS partition contains Motorola-supplied programs and Dynamic Link Libra rie s
(DLLs). This FFS is configured to include DLLs that control system operation. Since the MK3000 needs
these drivers for basic operation, only experienced users should modify the content of this partition.
•
Application: The Application FFS partition stores applicatio n pr og ra m s need ed to op er a te the MK3000.
Working with FFS Partitions
Application Deployment5 - 23
Because the FFS partitions appear as folders under the Windows CE file system, you can read and write to
them like any other folder. For example, an application program can write data to a file located in the
Application folder just as it would to the Windows folder. However, the file in the Application folder is in
non-volatile storage and is not lost on a cold boot (e.g., when power is removed for a long period of time).
Y ou can use st andard tools such as ActiveSync to copy files to and from the FFS p artitions. They appear as the
Application and Platform to the ActiveSync explorer . This is useful when inst alling applications on the MK3000.
Applications stored in the Application folder are retained even after a cold boot.
There are two device drivers included in the Windows CE image to assist developers in configuring the
MK3000 following a cold boot: RegMerge and CopyFiles.
RegMerge.dll
RegMerge.dll is a built-in driver that allows making registry edits to the Windows CE Registry. Regmerge.dll
runs very early in the boot process and looks for registry files (.reg files) in certain flash file system folders
during a cold boot. It then merges the registry changes into the system registry located in RAM.
Since the registry is re-created on every cold boot from the default ROM image, the RegMerge driver is
necessary to make registry modifications persistent over cold boots.
RegMerge looks in the root of two specific folders for .reg files in the following order:
\Platform
\Application
Regmerge continues to look for.reg files in these folders until it checks all folders. This allows folders later in
the list to override folders earlier in the list. This way, it is possible to override Registry changes made by the
Platforms partitions folders. Take care when using Regmerge to make Registry changes. The DCP contains
examples of .reg files.
NOTE Regmerge only merges the .reg files on cold boots. A warm boot skips the merge process.
Page 66
5 - 24MK3000 MicroKiosk for Windows CE 5.0 Product Reference Guide
Typically, you would not modify the registry values for drivers loaded before RegMerge, although this may be
necessary during software development. Since these early loading drivers read these keys before RegMerge
can change them, you must cold boot the MK3000. The warm boot does not re-initialize th e registry and the
early loading driver reads the new registry values.
Do not use Regmerge to modify built-in driver registry values, or merg e th e same Reg i stry value to two files in
the same folder, as the results are not predictable.
CopyFiles
Windows CE expects certain files to be in the Windows folder, residing in volatile storage. Windows CE
maintains the System Registry in volatile storage. CopyFiles copies files from one folder to another on a cold
boot. Files can be copied from a non-volatil e p artitio n (Application or Pl at form) to the Win dows or othe r volatile
partition during a cold boot. During a cold boot CopyFiles looks for files with a .CPY extension in the root of the
Platform, then the Application FFS partitions. These files are text files containing the source and destination for
the desired files to copy, separ ated by “>”. The demo application partition included in the DCP contains the
following example from the file application.cpy. Alternatively, obtain this from the Support Central web site a t
Files are copied to the Windows folder from the flash file system using copy files (*.cpy) in the following order:
\Platform
\Application
Example:
\Application\ScanSamp2.exe>\Windows\ScanSamp2.exe
This line directs CopyFiles to copy the ScanSamp2.exe application from the \Application folder to the
\Windows folder.
Non-FFS Partitions
Non-FFS Partitions include additional software and data pre-loaded on the MK3000 that you can upgrade.
Unlike FFS Partitions, these partitions are not visible when the operating system is running. They also contain
system information. Non-FFS partitions include the following:
•
Windows CE: The complete Windows CE operating system is stored on flash devices. If necessary, you
can download the entire OS image to the MK3000 usi ng Motorola provided files. The TCM installation
package includes the current OS partition on the MK3000. Obtain any upgrades from Motorola. This
partition is mandatory for the MK3000.
•
Splash Screen: a bitmap smaller tha n 16 kb (a nd limite d to 8 bi ts per pixel) appears as the MK3000 cold
boots. To download a cust om ized screen to display, see Creating a Splash Screen on page 5-21.
NOTE 8 bits per pixel only applies to splash screen images. Once Windows CE is running, the color density is
16 bits per pixel.
•
Partition Table: Identifies where each partition is loaded in the MK3000.
Downloading Partitions to the MK3000
Use TCM to specify a hex destination file for each partition and download each file to the MK3000. This
download requires a program loader stored on the MK3000.
