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, an RS232 cable 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. For data transmission you can use the cradle, an RS232 cable or an infrared adapter to connect the terminal to the PC.

OPERATION OF THE TERMINAL

Page 16

USER’S MANUAL PHL2700 TERMINAL / IRU2700 CRADLE

The terminal is a Class I laser product conforming to the strictest laser safety standards. However, we recommend

that

you avoid looking directly into the laser beam emitter, or pointing the laser beam directly into someone’s eyes.

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.

If the bar code is larger than the laser

beam, try moving the terminal a bit further away from the bar code.

Please take care of the handling precautions.

Please make sure that the terminal is installed according to the installation instructions.

Never remove the main battery pack while the terminal is turned on.

Doing so can cause data in the terminal to be deleted or corrupted.

4.1 How to read the barcode

The scanning sequence is defined by the user’s application. A typical sequence is:

Press the [PW] key to turn power on. Check the display for the message:

READ BAR CODE

Point the terminal to the barcode and

press the Trigger key.

Point the laserbeam to barcode as shown

in the scan position illustration.

The barcode will be read and the reading

results will be indicated.

A ‘Good Read’ means that the scanner has effectively recognised and decoded the bar code. In most cases, the application program will provide an indicator signal or a buzzer signal to indicate a good read to the user.

When the read is incorrect you can try again, paying attention to the instructions in this chapter.

USER’S MANUAL PHL2700 TERMINAL / IRU2700 CRADLE

This chapter contains information on solving problems you may encounter when using the terminal and/or cradle. If problems occur, first carry out some general checks, before verifying the problem with the descriptions in this chapter.

General checks:

Make sure everything is installed properly Check the power supply of all devices Is the reading window of the terminal clean? Is the optical window of the cradle clean? Are the bar code labels readable, eg. not

damaged or poorly printed?

If the equipment still does not work after these checks have been performed, please verify if one of the problems described in this chapter applies to the problem you have with the scanner.

It is possible that you may not solve the problems, despite our descriptions. In this instance, please contact your dealer or Opticon.

When the terminal needs to be repaired, please ensure that the label with the serial number is still present. If sending the terminal or cradle, please use the original packing to minimise the chances of damage.

No communication from the cradle to the device, or data is transmitted distorted or corrupted.

Power indicator of the cradle is not green.

Check if the battery case cover of the

PHL2700 is closed properly.

Check all cables.

When the power indicator is still not green, the cradle needs service.

Clean the optical interface window of the

cradle and/or terminal, and try again.

Data is corrupted, or no data is transmitted.

Is the proper baudrate selected?

The computer needs the same baudrate as the terminal.

Clean the optical interface window of the

cradle and/or terminal, and try again.

The terminal looses data when the battery pack is removed for a short period.

The backup battery is empty.

Replace the Lithium CR2032 battery by

a new one.

PROBLEMS

Page 21

USER’S MANUAL PHL2700 TERMINAL / IRU2700 CRADLE

When the terminal has a problem with reading the label:

The resolution of the bar code is too

high.

Decrease the distance between the bar

code and the terminal.

The angle between the label and the

terminal is too high.

Change the angle between the bar code

and the terminal.

The distance is too far or too close.

Change the distance between the bar

code and the terminal.

The bar code is larger than the laser

beam.

Try moving the terminal a bit further away

from the bar code.

The read window is dirty.

Clean the read window of the terminal.

The read window is scratched.

The terminal needs service.

The type of the bar code label is not

enabled.

Red LED indicator on the terminal is

flashing on and off.

The charging contacts of the cradle and/or

the terminal are dirty. Clean the contacts.

Red LED indicator on the terminal is not

turned on.

The typical charging procedure requires

the terminal to be switched off. Check this.

The cradle needs a rechargeable battery

pack to charge. When a battery holder for dry cell batteries Is used, the charger does not work at all.

There is no contact between the terminal

and the cradle. Try again to place the terminal properly, or clean the contacts of either the cradle and/or the terminal.

Replace the battery pack and try again.

The rechargeable battery pack is still not charged. Red LED indicator on terminal keeps on.

The charger for the battery pack is

probably defect. The cradle will need service.
