Scanning with the PPT 2700
The PPT 2700 has an integrated scanner which, if your terminal is
configured for scanning, allows you to collect data by scanning bar
codes. See the
on configuring your terminal for scanning.
To scan bar codes with the PPT 2700:
1. Aim the scanner at the bar code.
2. Press either the right, left, or center scan trigger. Make sure
the red scan beam covers the entire bar code. The green scan
LED lights and a beep sounds to indicate a successful decode.

Scanning PDF417 Bar Codes
The 2D scanning PPT 2700 terminal supports PDF417 bar code
scanning. The raster pattern has multiple scanning rows to
accommodate the PDF417 symbol’s multiple rows.
1. Point the scanner at the bar code and press the trigger.
2. Center the aiming pattern (a spot or slab raster, as programmed) on the bar code.
10
Quick Reference
3. As the raster pattern spreads, keep the pattern in the same horizontal plane as the bar code. Be sure the pattern extends
about 3/4” beyond both sides of the bar code.
3/4”
3/4”
4. The terminal indicates a successful scan by changing the LED
from red to green, beeping on e or mo re times, an d/or disp laying the bar code data on the screen.
“Tall” PDF Bar Codes
If the PDF417 symbol is “tall, ” the vertical s can pattern ma y not be
high enough to cover it.
In this case, try a slow “up and down” scanning motion. With the
raster pattern open, move the scanner slowly down toward the
bottom of the symbol, keeping the beam horizontal to the rows, and
then slowly back up toward the top.

PPT 2700 Series
Maintaining the PPT 2700
For trouble-free service, observe the following general tips when
using your PPT 2700:
• Take care not to scratch the screen of your PPT 2700. When
working with your PPT 2700, use the supplied stylus or plastic-tipped pens intended for use with a touch-sensitive screen.
Never use an a ctual pen or pe ncil or o ther sha rp object on the
surface of the PPT 2700 screen.
• Although your PPT 2700 is water and dust resistant, do not
expose it to rain or moisture for an extended period of time.
In general, treat your PPT 2700 as you would a pocket calculator or other small electronic instrument.
• The touch-sensitive screen of your PPT 2700 contains glass.
Take care not to drop your PPT 2700 or subject it to any
strong impact.
• Protect your PPT 2700 from temperature extremes. Do not
leave it on the dashboard of a car on a hot day, and keep it
away from heaters and other heat sources.
• Do not store or use your PPT 2700 in any location that is extremely dusty, damp or wet.
• Use a soft lens cloth to clean your PPT 2700. If the surface of
the PPT 2700 scree n beco mes soile d, cl ean it with a soft cloth
moistened with a diluted window-cleaning solution.
Troubleshooting
PPT 2700 terminal does not turn on:
• Adjust the co ntr as t control.
• Make sure batteries are installed properly.
• Replace the batteries. If your PP T 2700 terminal stil l does not
operate, try a soft reset, then a hard reset; see
PPT 2700 Terminal
on page 12
.

Resetting Y our
Quick Reference
No sound:
• Check the Volume Control slider in the Volume & Sounds
Properties screen (under Start/Settings) to make sure the volume is not turned down. See the
Guide
for more information.
PPT 27 00 Product Reference
PPT 2700 terminal turns itself off:
• Y our PP T 2700 termina l is designed to turn i tself off after a period of inactivity. This period can be set from one to five minutes, in one-minute intervals. Check the Power Off tab on the
Power screen (under Start/Settings), and change the setting if
you need a longer delay before the automatic shutoff feature
activates. See the
PPT 2700 Product Reference Guide
for
more information.
PPT 2700 terminal doesn’t recognize my handwriting:
• For your PPT 2700 to recognize handwriting input with the
stylus, characters must be written a certain way. See the
®
crosoft
Windows® CE Palm-size PC User’s Guide
for infor-
mation about how to write character strokes.
• Make the character strokes in the lower character entry area
on the screen — not on the display part of the screen.
• Make sure you are writing lower-case letters in the left-hand
side, numbers in th e r ight-ha nd si de, a nd up per-case letters in
the center of the writing area.
Tapping the screen buttons or icons does not activate the
corresponding feature:
• Recalibrate the digitizer. Choose Stylus from Start/Settings
and select Recalibrate.
Mi-
A message appears stating that your PPT 2700 terminal memory is
full:
• Delete unused memos and records. If necessary, you can save
these records on your computer.
15
PPT 2700 Series
• Adjust the memory allocation. See the
Microsoft
®
Windows®
CE Palm-size PC User’s Guide.
• If you have installed additional applications on your PPT
2700 terminal, remove them to recover memory.
Beamed data does no t tran smit:
• Confirm that the PPT 2700 terminals are 5” apart, and that
the path between the two devices is clear of obstacles.
When receiving beamed data an out of memory message appears:
• Y our PP T 2700 termina l requires at le ast twice the am ount of
memory available as the data you are receiving. For example,
if you are receiving a 30K ap plica tion, you must have at lea st
60K free.
Your PPT 2700 unit does not accept scan input:
• V erify that the unit is loa ded with a scannin g appl ication. S ee
your System Administrator.
• Check to be sure the bar code symbol is not defaced.
• Be sure you are within proper scanning range.
• Be sure the unit is programmed to accept the type of bar code
you are scanning.
• If you are expecting a beep on a good decode and don’t hear
one, check that the application is set to generate a beep on
good decode.
• If the scanner stops emitting a laser beam when you press the
trigger, check your battery level. When the battery is low, the
scanner shuts off before the terminal notifies you of the low
battery condition.
Note: If, after performing these checks, the scanner is still not
reading symbols, contact your distributor or Symbol
Technologies.
