integrated SE-965 Standard Range Laser
integrated SE-4750-SR Standard Range Imager
integrated digital camera
optional RS507.
NOTE
By default, the good decode beep is set to system volume (Notifications). The good decode beep can be set to another sound (Ringer, Music and Media or Alarms) and the volume can be independently controlled. See the DataWedge section in the TC8000 Integrator Guide for more information.

Laser Scanning

The TC8000 with laser scanner has the following features:
Reading of a variety of bar code symbologies, includ ing the most popular linear, postal, and 1-D code types.
Intuitive aiming for easy point-and-shoot operation.

Imaging

The TC8000 with an integrated imager has the following features:
Omnidirectional (360°) reading of a variety of bar code symbologies, includin g the most popular linear , post al, PDF417, and 2D matrix code types.
The ability to capture and download images to a host for a variety of imaging applications.
Advanced intuitive laser aiming for easy point-and-shoot operation.
The imager uses digital camera technology to take a digital picture of a bar code, stores the resulting image in its memory, and executes state-of-the-art software decoding algorithms to extract the data from the image.

Operational Modes

The TC8000 with an integrated imager supports three modes of operation, listed below. Activate each mode pressing the Scan button.
Decode Mode: In this mode, the TC8000 attempts to locate and decode enabled bar codes within its field of view. The imager remains in this mode as long as you hold the scan button, or until it decodes a bar code.
Pick List Mode: This mode allows you to selectively decode a bar code when more than one bar code is in the TC8000’s field of view. To accomplish this, mov e the aiming crosshair center dot over the required bar code to decode only that bar code. This feature is ideal for pick lists containing multiple bar codes and manufacturing or transport labels containing more than one bar code type (either 1D or 2D).
Image Capture Mode: Use this mode to capture an image within the TC8000’s fie ld of view. This is useful for capturing signatures or images of items like damaged boxes.

Digital Camera

The device with an integrated camera based bar code scanning solution has the following feat ures:
Omnidirectional reading of a variety of bar code symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal, QR, PDF417, and 2D matrix code types.
Page 51
Review Copy
Cross-hair reticle for easy point-and-shoot operation.
Picklist mode to decode a particular bar code from many in the field of view.
The solution uses the advanced camera technology to take a digital picture of a bar code, and executes state-of-the-art software decoding algorithms to extract the data from the image.

Scanning Considerations

Scanning consists of; aim, scan and decode. Scanning performance can be optimized by considering the range and the scanning angle:
Range Any scanning device decodes well over a particular working range (minimum and maximum distances from
the bar code). This range varies according to bar code density and scanning device optics. Scanning within range brings quick and constant decodes; scannin g too close or too far away prevents
decodes. Move the scanner closer and further away to find the right working range for the bar codes being scanned. However, the situation is complicated by the availability of various integrated scanning modules. The best way to specify the appropriate working range per bar code density is through a chart called a decode zone for each scan module. A decode zone simply plots working range as a function of minimum element widths of bar code symbols.
Data Capture 3 - 3
Angle The scan angle is important for optimizing decode performance. When laser beams reflect directly back into
the scanner from the bar code, this specular reflection can “blind” the scanner. To avoid this, scan the bar code so that the beam does not bounce directly back. But do not scan at too sharp
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.
NOTE
Contact the Zebra Support if chronic scanning difficulties develop. Decoding of properly printed bar codes should be quick and effortless.

Bar Code Capture with Laser Scanner

To read a bar code, a scan-enabled application is required. The TC8000 contains the DataWedge application that allows the user to enable the scanner to decode bar code data and display the bar code content. See DataWedge
on page 3-14 for information on enabling DataWedge.

Wireless Local Area Networks

Wireless local area networks (WLANs) allow the TC8000 to communicate wirelessly inside a building. Before using the TC8000 on a WLAN, the facility must be set up with the required hardware to run the WLAN (sometimes known as infrastructure). The infrastructure and the TC8000 must both be properly configured to enable this communication.
Refer to the documentation provided with the infrastru cture (access points (APs), access ports, switches, Radius servers, etc.) for instructions on how to set up the infrastructure.
Once the infrastructure is set up to enforce the chosen WLAN security scheme, use the Wireless & networks settings configure the TC8000 to match the security scheme.
The TC8000 supports the following WLAN security options:

Configuring for a Proxy Server

A proxy server is a server that acts as an intermediary for requests from clients seeking resources from other servers. A client connects to the proxy server, requesting some service, such as a file, connection, web page, or other resource, available from a different server. The proxy server evaluates the request according to its filtering rules. For example, it may filter traffic by IP address or protocol. If the request is validated by the filter, the proxy provides the resource by connecting to the relevant server and requesting the service on behalf of the client.
It is important for enterprise customers to be able to set up secure computing environment s within their comp anies, and proxy configuration is an essential part of doing that. Proxy configuration acts as a security barrier ensurin g that the proxy server monitors all traffic between the Internet and the intranet. This is normally an integral part of security enforcement in corporate firewalls within intranets.

Bluetooth

Bluetooth-equipped devices can communicate without wires, using frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) radio frequency (RF) to transmit and receive data in the 2.4 GHz Industry Scientific and Medical (ISM) band (802.15.1). Bluetooth wireless technology is specifically designed for short-range (10 meters (32.8 feet)) communication and low power consumption.
Devices with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information (e.g., files, appointments, and tasks) with other Bluetooth enabled devices such as printers, access points, and other mobile devices.

Adaptive Frequency Hopping

Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH) is a method of avoiding fixed frequency interferers, and can be used with Bluetooth voice. All devices in the piconet (Bluetooth network) must be AFH-capable in order for AFH to work. There is no AFH when connecting and discovering devices. Avoid making Bluetooth connections and discoveries during critical 802.11b communications. AFH for Bluetooth consists of four main sections:
Channel Classification - A method of detecting an interference on a channel-by-channel basis, or
pre-defined channel mask.
Link Management - Coordinates and distributes the AFH information to the rest of the Bluetooth network.
Hop Sequence Modification - Avoids interference by selectively reducing the number of hopping channels.
Channel Maintenance - A method for periodically re-evaluating the channels.
When AFH is enabled, the Bluetooth radio “hops around” (instead of through) the 802.11b high- rate channels. AFH coexistence allows Enterprise devices to operate in any infrastructure.
The Bluetooth radio in this device operates as a Class 2 device power class. The maximum output power is 2.5 mW and the expected range is 10 meters (32.8 ft.). A definition of ranges based on power class is difficult to obtain due to power and device differences, and whether one measures open space or closed office space.
NOTE
It is not recommended to perform Bluetooth wireless technology inquiry when high rate 802.11b operation is required.

Security

The current Bluetooth specification defines security at the link level. Application-level security is not specified. This allows application developers to define security mechanisms tailored to their specific need. Link-level security occurs between devices, not users, while applic at ion -le vel security can be implemented on a per-user basis. The Bluetooth specification defines security algorithms and procedure s required to auth enticate devices, and if needed, encrypt the data flowing on the link between the devices. Device authentication is a mandatory feature of Bluetooth while link encryption is optional.
Pairing of Bluetooth devices is accomplished by creating an initialization key used to authenticate the devices and create a link key for them. Entering a common personal identification number (PIN) in the devices being paired generates the initialization key . The PIN is never sent over the air. By default, the Bluetooth stack responds with no key when a key is requested (it is up to user to respond to the key request event). Authentication of Bluetooth devices is based-upon a challenge-response transaction. Bluetooth allows for a PIN or passkey used to create other 128-bit keys used for security and encryption. The encryption key is derived from the link key used to authenticate the pairing devices. Also worthy of note is the limited range and fast frequency hopping of the Bluetooth radios that makes long-distance eavesdropping difficult.
Recommendations are:
Page 75
Review Copy
Perform pairing in a secure environment
Keep PIN codes private and do not store the PIN codes in the device
Implement application-level security.

Bluetooth Profiles

The device supports the following Bluetooth services:
Service Discovery Protocol (SDP) - Handles the search for known and specific services as well as general
services.
Serial Port Profile (SPP) - Allows use of RFCOMM protocol to emulate serial cable connection b etween two
Bluetooth peer devices. For example, connecting the device to a printer.
Generic Access Profile (GAP) - Controls connections in Bluetooth. Makes device visible and determines
how two devices communicate.
GATT -
Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) - Allows the device to stream stereo-quality audio to a
wireless headset or wireless stereo speakers.
Wireless 4 - 11
Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP) - Allows the device to control A/V equipment to which a user
has access. It may be used in concert with A2DP.
Human Interface Device Profile (HID) - Allows Bluetooth keyboards, point ing device s, gaming devices an d
remote monitoring devices to connect to the device.
FTP -
Object Push Profile (OPP) - Allows the device to push and pull objects to and from a push server.

Bluetooth Power States

The Bluetooth radio is off by default.
Suspend - When the TC8000 goes into suspend mode, the Bluetooth radio stays on.
Airplane Mode - When the TC8000 is placed in Airplane Mode, the Bluetooth radio turns off. When Airplane
mode is disabled, the Bluetooth radio returns to the prior state. When in Airplane Mode, the Bluetooth radio can be turned back on if desired.

Bluetooth Radio Power

Turn off th e Bluetooth radio to save po wer or if entering an area with radio r estrictions (e.g., a n airplane). When th e radio is off, other Bluetooth devices cannot see or connect to the device.
