OPERATION OF THE TERMINAL

The functionality of the terminal is determined

by software, the so-called user application,

that is running on the terminal.

Usually, the terminal is not equipped with

software and has no functionality. At first the

user application must be loaded before the

terminal can be used for barcode scanning.

Tools for developing a user application on the

PC for use on the terminal, as supplied by

Opticon are:

Application Generator

PotStar (Limited or Professional)

C language: Microtec ANSI-C compiler

and C library for handheld terminals.

The user application must be downloaded

from the PC into the terminal. You can use the

cradle or an infrared adapter for communication

between the terminal and the PC. A program

on the PC will send the user application to the

terminal, where it is stored in FlashROM

memory.

When the functionality of the terminal is defined

by the application it is ready for operation.

In a typical application you will press the trigger

key and scan a bar code label as described in

the next chapter. Scanned data and data

entered from the keyboard is stored in the

terminal's RAM. The user application can use

this data in subsequent steps.

The collected data can be transmitted to the PC

for further processing through the cradle.

results will be indicated.

Fit the bar code in the laser beam from margin to margin and pass the scanner downward over the bar code, as shown in the scan position illustration.

When reading a small bar code, decrease the distance between the terminal and the bar code. For larger bar codes, position the terminal so that the bar code fits into the laser beam. When reading a very high density bar code, decrease the distance between the terminal and the bar code. For a low density bar code, increase the distance between the terminal and bar code.

4.2

Barcode reading problems

When the barcode can not be read, try the following:

Change the angle between the bar code

and the terminal.

Change the distance between the bar

code and the terminal.
