Introduction

The XP Series from Janam Technologies is the world’s first fully-featured, Palm OS

®

-based, rugged, barcode scanning mobile computer. Purpose-built for maximum performance, the XP Series delivers the benefits of Palm OS Garnet with the advanced technologies that industrial applications demand.

About the Janam XP20 Series

Janam designed the XP20 Series to execute mission-critical data collection tasks in the enterprise. Every element of the product’s form and function has a purpose. For example, the XP20 Series’ custom, brightwhite, monochrome display was created because it offers the same 160x160 screen resolution as legacy

Palm OS products, thereby facilitating application migration across hardware platforms. Yet the XP20

Series also delivers significant improvements over legacy Palm OS products, each one aimed at extending the product’s reach into the enterprise. These include a numeric keypad, 2D barcode scanning, permanent memory backup of applications and data, keypad backlighting, user-accessible mini-SD slot, latest WLAN security, extra capacity battery and more.

Hardware features

About Access and Palm

• Available with numeric or PDA-style keypad

• 32MB SDRAM/64MB NAND

NAND flash backup of OS, applications and user data

• User-accessible mini-SD slot

Weighs less than 10 ounces

• 1D and 2D barcode scanning capability

• Sealed to IP54 standards

• Rugged design: withstands multiple four-foot drops to concrete

• Enterprise-class WLAN with advanced WEP and WPA security protocols

In October 2006, Access announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, PalmSource, Inc., changed its name to Access Systems Americas, Inc. Likewise, the Palm OS was renamed and is now known as Garnet OS.

Garnet OS expands the solid foundation of Palm OS 5 by incorporating standard support for a broad range of screen resolutions and expanded support for wireless connections. It also includes enhanced multimedia capabilities, a suite of robust security options and support for a broad set of languages.

To charge the battery:

Important Note: The main battery charges the backup battery in the XP20. Once the main battery is fully charged, do not remove it from the unit for 24 hours. If removed during this period, the device cannot maintain any user data if the battery is removed.

To charge the battery using the USB syncing/charging cable or serial charging cable:

1. Connect the power supply to the USB syncing/charging cable or serial/syncing charging cable.

2. Connect snap-on end of USB syncing/charging cable or serial/syncing charging cable to bottom of

XP20 making sure the word TOP on the connector faces front.

3. Insert country-specific AC plug and plug in the power supply.

To charge the battery using the single-slot or four-slot cradle:

1. Connect the power supply to the cradle.

2. Connect the line cord to the appropriate power supply.

3. Plug in the power supply.

4. Insert the XP20 into the cradle. Important: Proper insertion is required to ensure connection. Be sure to insert the device as follows:

• Place the XP20 in cradle well (seating the device without trying to join connectors).

• Tilt-rotate the XP20 forward (bringing the top end of the unit forward) as you apply downward pressure to fully insert in cradle well, joining connectors.

5. The LED will illuminate to confirm connection (orange indicates charging, green indicates fully charged and red indicates fault).

6. The battery is fully charged in approximately two hours.

Remove the battery from spare battery charging well

Do not force-pull the battery from charging well. Follow these instructions to remove the battery:

A hard reset returns the XP20 to factory settings, removing ALL applications and data from the device

(including the Hotsync ID name). Be sure that all data is backed up before performing a hard reset.

To perform a hard reset, do the following:

1. Remove battery door from the back of the unit.

2. While holding down the on/off switch, use the stylus to press the reset button (once). Continue to

hold on/off switch at the end of the line.

3. After the reset has occurred and the Palm logo appears on the screen, release the on/off switch, and the following message will appear:

Erase all data? To answer YES*: use “up” or down” arrows, or NO: use any other button.

*Note: If you select yes, all data and installed applications will be erased but factory settings remain.

IMPORTANT NOTE about battery door: XP20 mobile computers feature a battery door removal

detection switch. This is designed to protect against data loss if the battery is removed during data collection or processing. The system will not fully operate when the battery cover is removed. As a result of this feature, XP20 devices automatically create a safe state until the battery cover is secured, meaning a device will power-down until the battery door is closed. It will then recall and resume from the user’s most recent screen when the battery door is fully in place.

Power-down: Upon performing a reset, you may find that the device automatically powers-down shortly after the reset begins to take. This is a normal function of the battery door removal detection switch; the reset will hold. Simply secure the battery door and the XP20 device will resume activity at the last screen.

While there is no technical reason to rush to secure the battery door, you may avoid the power-down activity by quickly securing the battery door.

Update your ROM

NOTE: ALL applications and data will be DELETED, so make sure you are properly backed up before starting this process.

To check your current ROM version:

1. Select the memo pad application on the XP20.

2. Select new.

3. Write the symbols for shortcut dot 9 (shown at right) in the numeric section of the graffiti pad.

4. Your unit’s ROM build date and time will be displayed. Write this down for reference.

To download the correct BIN file:

1. Download the appropriate ROM by logging in to Janam PartnerZone. (You will need a login name and password.)

2. Accept the terms and conditions, and go to PartnerZone.

3. Locate the BIN file for the XP20.

4. Click the arrow at right to begin download. Remember to store the BIN file in an easily accessible location, like your desktop. You will need this file for the next section.

To troubleshoot during ROM update:

The following helps resolve any issues that might be encountered during the ROM update process.

Description Resolution Explanation

The scanner turns on when pressing the right scanner button.

Return to the main application display of the device, remove the battery and restart the ROM installation process.

In some situations, the application may cause the device to focus on the scanner. It is best to perform the upgrade process from the main application display.

The front LED is staying on and the device is nonfunctional.

Perform a soft reset of the device.

It is possible that the ROM update process was unexpectedly terminated and the device needs a reboot.

Windows is not recognizing the device.

• Disconnect the sync cable from the device and perform a soft reset. With the cable already plugged into the host computer, reconnect the XP20.

• Perform reset first.

Sometimes, Windows attempts to find the device and the appropriate driver, but it takes too long, so the process aborts. Typically, on the second (or sometimes third) attempt, Windows will properly discover the device.

Windows finds the device, but the My Computer screen is not displaying an associated removable drive.

Same as previous resolution. The speed of the host computer and the version of Windows XP being used may impact the process.

The letters USB are not displaying on the screen of the device.

Hard reset the device, and restart the ROM update process.

This can happen when the process is aborted and the updated ROM file has been placed on the removable drive. In some situations, the letters USB may no longer appear, and you will need to presume the update will take place.

That means, the device has a bootprogram that can still connect with

Windows, but the display is no longer functional.

Barcode Scanning

As a drop-in replacement for existing rugged Palm OS® mobile computers, the XP20 provides an easy migration path. As a result, minimal application code changes are required for barcode scanning applications.

Barcode scanning demonstration and setup

IMPORTANT: When you enter the barcode scanner demo application (the icon labeled JANAM), the program will turn the scanner on. The scanner will remain on while the demo is running, even if the unit is turned off. To conserve your battery, exit from the application.

To run the demo:

1. Tap the home button, and tap the Janam icon.

2. Tap the barcode scanner demo (application menu) in the upper left corner of the screen to display the setup options.

3. Three menus will appear (setup, OCR, options).

4. After starting the demo application, a variety of options become available:

Beep sound: you can enable or disable the sound whenever a successful barcode or optional character recognition (OCR) occurs.

- Note: you can control the volume of the sound from the prefs application located in home or main menu. In the upper right corner’s drop-down menu, click and select general to change the volume.

Light mode: This menu presents several options. You can turn off the illumination and aimer; turn the aimer only on; turn on the illumination only; or turn on both aimer and illumination.

Bar type: Display only – shows the symbology of the barcode scanned.

Bar data: Display only – shows the result of the decoded object.

Use the interface

Your handheld computer includes the following interface elements:

• The menu bar contains a set of menu commands specific to the application. Not all applications have a menu bar.

• The command bar lets you tap icons or write a ShortCut stroke to initiate a command instead of tapping a command in the menu bar. The icons displayed in the command bar vary within each application.

Command buttons initiate a command when tapped. Command buttons appear in the dialog and at the bottom of application screens.

Icons open applications and menus and find text anywhere in your data.

• The abc dot in the input area activates the alphabetic keyboard when tapped; note that the cursor must be in an input field for this option to work.

• The 123 dot in the input area displays the numeric keyboard when tapped; note that the cursor must be in an input field for this option to work.

Check boxes indicate the state of the corresponding option. A check mark in a check box means the option is active. If a check box is empty, tapping it inserts a check mark. If a check box is checked, tapping it removes the check mark.

Pick lists display a list of choices. Tap the black triangle next to the pick list name to display a list of choices, and then tap an item in the list to select it.

• The scroll bar moves through long notes or memos. Tap and hold down the scroll bar slider to scroll through pages; tap the slider arrow at either end to move one line at a time.

Use menus and menu commands

Menus on your handheld computer are easy to use, and work the same way in all applications. Menu bars and manual commands differ based on the application and the area of the application in which you’re working. For example, memo list screen and the memo screen display different menus.

Most menu commands have an equivalent Graffiti 2 command stroke, which is similar to keyboard shortcuts used to execute commands on computers. To use Graffiti 2 menu commands, menus must be closed.

To display a menu bar and choose a command, do one of the following:

• Open an application (such as the date book); then tap the menu icon. Select the desired

command from the menu.

• Tap the inverted tab at the top of any application’s screen (the calculator does not have an inverted tab); then tap the desired command.

Learn to write Graffiti 2 characters

The Graffiti 2 demo shows how to use the handwriting software. The first time you turn on your

XP20

, or perform a hard reset, the welcome application will automatically guide you through the setup process. When you complete setup, you will be invited to learn how to use your handwriting software.

After this process, the Graffiti 2 demo icon will appear with your other applications. Tap on this icon to view the demo at any time.

TIP: When you reach the stroke lookup screen of the demo, use the pick list to view the wide variety of characters that you can make.

General guidelines for Graffiti 2 writing

Follow these guidelines to learn and use Graffiti 2 writing strokes successfully:

• To achieve 100% accuracy, practice drawing characters exactly as they appear in the tables later in this chapter.

• The heavy dot on each shape indicates where to start the stroke.

• Graffiti 2 includes symbols made with a single stroke and symbols made with multiple strokes.

- For multi-stroke characters, a temporary character is displayed after the first stroke, to show that the stroke was recognized. For example, after the first vertical stroke of “t”, a temporary “l” is shown. There is a limited time window during which the second stroke must be drawn. Otherwise the temporary stroke is recorded.

To write Graffiti 2 letters:

1.

Tap the screen where you want to write text.

NOTE: A blinking cursor must appear onscreen above the Graffiti 2 writing area before you can begin writing text.

2.

Use the tables to find the stroke shape for the letter you want to write.

• For example, the stroke shown at right creates the letter n. You use the same shape to create both the lowercase letter and the uppercase letter.

3.

Position the stylus in the appropriate place of the text input area.

4.

Start your stroke at the heavy dot, and draw the stroke shape as it appears in the tables.

5.

Lift the stylus from the screen at the end of the stroke shape.

6.

The letter displays at the insertion point onscreen. Lift the stylus from the screen to begin the next stroke.

The Graffiti 2 alphabet

Graffiti 2 tips

Draw Graffiti 2 letters according to the following alphabet.

ƒ For greater accuracy, draw letters with large strokes; strokes that nearly fill the text input area is easily interpreted.

ƒ To delete characters, set the insertion point to the right of the character you want to delete, and draw the backspace stroke (a line from right to left) in the text input area.

ƒ Write at natural speed. Writing too slowly can produce errors.

ƒ Do not write at a slant. Keep vertical strokes parallel to the sides of the text input area.

ƒ

Letters and numbers can be written using two different strokes.

ƒ Press firmly.

Write punctuation marks and other special characters

Using Graffiti 2 writing, you can create any punctuation symbol and special character available from a standard keyboard.

• Period and comma punctuation marks can be written on either side of the text input area (the letter or number side).

• Other common punctuation marks can be written on one side of the text input area according to the chart below (in general, the more frequently used punctuation is on the left side).

Note: punctuation characters can also be entered anywhere on the text input area if you first use the shift character. This requires an additional shift stroke.

To write letters with accent marks:

• First write the letter stroke on the left side (in center for uppercase) of the input area.

• Then quickly write the accent stroke on the right side of the input area.

TIP: To write uppercase accented characters, write the letter across the division mark, just as you would do with an ordinary letter.

Janam Technologies LLC

XP20 User Manual

To write symbols and other special characters:

• Make a vertical stroke from the bottom to the top in the text input area

• The shift indicator arrow appears in the lower right corner of the screen.

• While the arrow is visible, you can make the Symbols and other special characters shown below.

• When the arrow goes away, the punctuation mark appears.

TIP: Using an additional shift stroke to finish writing the character (as shown in the demo) is optional but will make the character appear more quickly.

TIP: Samples of the character strokes are available in the Graffiti 2 help file. To view the help file, use the full-screen pen stroke, dragging the stylus from the text input area to the top of the screen.

Use the Graffiti 2 tuner

The Graffiti 2 tuner provides alternate strokes for making the T, P, Y, and $ characters. For example, you may want to form the letter “T” by using strokes similar to a space and an “L.” But if this technique is difficult to control, you can turn off this option.

To use the tuner:

Use the Attention Manager

Many applications (date book and clock) have some sort of alarm. Attention manager allows you to conveniently manage all of these notifications in one place.

Insistent alarms

Insistent applications open a reminders dialog, and may play a sound, flash an LED or vibrate, depending on your hardware configuration. Alarms continue until you snooze or dismiss them. If the sound can be interrupted, you can tap anywhere on the dialog, or push any button to silence it.

Attention manager always open immediately when new insistent alarms are posted.

To use the reminder dialog:

The reminder dialog has three buttons for responding to an alarm:

OK: Makes the reminder go away, with no further notification.

Snooze: Switches to the application that was running when the alarm went off, and returns to the reminder dialog after five minutes. Go back to the reminder dialog right away by tapping on the blinking indicator in the upper left corner of the dialog.

Go to: Switches to the application that created the alarm, and shows the record that caused the alarm, although you may have to navigate within the application. There is no further notification.

To set alarm volume:

You control most alarm volumes globally in the general panel of the prefs menu:

1. Tap the prefs icon in the applications launcher.

2. Tap the general pick list in the upper right corner of the dialog.

3. Set the volume using the alarm sound pick list. If your device has an alarm or vibrate LED feature, turn these features on or off using their pick lists in this menu.

To set alarm sound effects:

1.

Tap the menu icon while displaying the date book application.

2.

Tap the options menu > preferences.

3.

Tap the alarm preset check box, if you want alarms to sound

4.

Play every: The pause between each time the alarm sounds

To use the reminders list dialog:

The reminders dialog changes to a list of items that require your attention under two insistent alarm conditions:

• When a second application attempts to get your attention and the first has not been dismissed or snoozed.

• When a first application makes a second attempt and has not been dismissed or snoozed. o Each listed reminder contains the date and time of the event. o Depending on the application displaying the reminder, you may see an icon representing the application and up to two lines of text.

• Tapping on the text or icon will “go to” that item and delete the event from the reminders list dialog.

• Tapping in the check box will clear that item. The attention manager will draw a line through the text lines, pause for a moment and then remove the item from the list.

• The reminders list dialog displays three buttons that are used to respond to all of the items in the list: o Snooze: Puts the reminders list dialog to sleep for five minutes. o Done: If the reminders list appeared because of more than one insistent alarm, tapping done closes the reminders list dialog.

ƒ

If the reminders list appeared after you tapped the snooze button, tap the blinking alarm indicator, then tap the done button and the reminder will continue to snooze. o Clear all: removes all of the items from the list, but does not close the reminders dialog. Tap this button to erase a list of events that have passed

Subtle alarms

Some applications provide a visual and optionally audible indication, but do not otherwise disrupt your workflow. Subtle alarms do not display a reminders dialog. Instead, a blinking indicator will flash in the upper left corner of the title bar (of applications that allow it) when an alarm is present.

To understand the blinking alarm indicator:

The indicator appears in three different states:

Off: The indicator is not shown at all when the list is empty.

Blinking, two states: When the list is not empty but there are no new items, then the “star” indicator will blink on and off until the list has been emptied.

Blinking, three states: When a new subtle alarm is received, the star will alternate flashing solid, exploded, then off, until you view the new event.

Tapping on the indicator opens the attention manager in list mode, even if there is only one item.

Perform Common Tasks

The tasks described in this section use the term records to refer to an individual item in any of the basic applications: a single date book event, address book event, to do list item or memo pad memo.

Create records

Use the following procedure to create a new record in date book, address book, to do list and memo pad.

To create a record:

1.

Select the application.

5.

Tap done only in the address book and memo pad. Your handheld computer saves the new record automatically.

Edit records

After you create a record, you can change, delete or add new information at any time. When the screen is in edit mode, a blinking cursor appears within the information and the information appears on a dotted gray line called an edit line.

To select text:

Select the text you want to edit using one of the following techniques:

• Double-tap on a word in a field to select the word.

• Triple-tap on any word on a line to select the entire line.

• Drag across a line of text to select some or all of the information, or drag down to select text across multiple lines.

To use the edit menu:

The edit menu is available from any screen where you enter or edit text. As a general rule, commands affect selected text. Display the edit menu in three ways: tap the menu icon, tap the inverted tab at the top of the screen or by writing a Graffiti

®

2 ShortCut.

Exchange and Update Data using HotSync

®

12

HotSync technology lets you synchronize—exchange and update—data between one or more Janam connected organizers and Palm Desktop using either a USB or serial cable. To synchronize data, you must connect your Janam XP20 and Palm Desktop either directly, by placing your handheld computer in the cradle attached to your computer or using infrared communications, or indirectly, with a modem or network.

The first time you synchronize your data, you must enter user information on both the handheld computer and Palm Desktop. After you enter this information and synchronize, the HotSync Manager recognizes your handheld computer and doesn’t ask for this information again.

If you are a System Administrator preparing several handheld computers for a group of users, you may want to create a user profile. See creating a user profile later in this chapter before performing the following steps.

Perform the first local HotSync operation

You must perform your first HotSync operation with a local, direct connection, rather than using a modem.

The following steps assume that you have already installed the Palm Desktop.

To perform a local HotSync operation:

1.

Insert your handheld computer into the cradle. The bottom edge of the handheld computer should align smoothly with the cradle when it is inserted properly.

2.

Connect the cradle to your computer using the appropriate cable.

3.

On the Janam XP, tap applications > HotSync icon.

4.

Tap local > cradle/cable.

Windows. On Windows, the HotSync Manager must be running for the HotSync operation to proceed. If it is running, the HotSync icon appears in the Windows system tray. If the HotSync

Manager is not running, select the start button > programs > Palm Desktop program group

> palmOne Hotsync manager.

5.

Press the HotSync button on the cradle.

6.

Select local > cradle/cable.

NOTE: If you are using an optional HotSync cable instead of a cradle, tap the HotSync Manager icon in the Windows system tray and select local from the menu.

7.

Select the user name you entered when you installed Palm Desktop. The HotSync Progress dialog appears and synchronization begins.

8.

When the HotSync process is complete, a message appears, and you can remove your handheld computer from the cradle.

Create a user profile

You can create a user profile to load data into a Janam XP20 without associating that data with a user name. This feature lets system administrators configure several

Janam handheld computer

s with specific information (such as a company phone list) before distributing them to their actual users. On

Windows, you use the file link feature of the Palm Desktop to import information from external files later in this chapter. The user profile feature is designed only for the first-time HotSync operation, before you assign a user ID to a particular

handheld computer

.

IR HotSync operations

Your organizer is equipped with an infrared (IR) port that supports the IrCOMM implementation of the standards for infrared communication established by the Infrared Data Association (IrDA). This means that you can beam data to any other device that supports the IrCOMM implementation of the IrDA standards. Most importantly, you can use the IR port to perform HotSync operations. You don’t need a cradle to do this.

To prepare your computer for infrared communication:

Before you can perform a HotSync operation using the IR port, the computer you want to synchronize with must meet the following requirements:

• The computer must support the IrCOMM implementation of the IrDA standards.

• The computer must have an enabled infrared port built-in, or an enabled infrared device attached to the computer.

Desktop computers are likely to require an infrared device attached to a physical serial port. Laptops are likely to have a built-in IR port. Your computer must also have an installed infrared driver.

To check if your Windows 95 computer supports infrared communication:

1.

Click start in the Windows taskbar.

2.

Choose settings > control panel.

3.

Find the infrared icon in the control panel.

If the icon is there, your computer is enabled for infrared communication. If it isn’t there, you need to install an infrared driver. After you install the infrared driver or determine that the infrared driver is already installed, check the ports used by your computer for infrared communication.

Conduct a HotSync operation via a network

When you use the network HotSync software, you can take advantage of the LAN and WAN connectivity available in many office environments. The network HotSync software lets you perform a HotSync operation by dialing in to a network or by using a cradle that is connected to any computer on your LAN or

WAN (provided that the computer connected to the cradle also has the network HotSync software installed, your computer is on, and the HotSync Manager is running).

The network HotSync software requires the following:

• Your computer has TCP/IP support installed.

• Both your company’s network system and its remote access server support TCP/IP. (Your system administrator has this information.)

• You have a remote access account. (If you don’t have an account, consult your system administrator.)

This product is marked with in accordance with the Class II product requirements specified in the

R&TTE Directive, 1005/5/EC. The equipment is intended for use throughout the European Community. Its authorization for use in France is restricted as follows.

PAN European Frequency Range: 2.402-2.480 GHz

Restrictions in France:

Indoor use: Maximum power (EIRP*) of 100 mW for the 2400-2483.5 MHz band.

Outdoor use:

Pacemakers, hearing aids and other electrically powered devices

Maximum power (EIRP*) of 100 mW for the 2400-2454 MHz band and maximum power (EIRP*) of 10 mW for the 2454-2483 MHz band.

Most manufacturers of medical devices adhere to the IEC 601-1-2 standard. This standard requires devices to operate properly in an EM Field with strength of 3V/m over a frequency range of 26 to

1000MHz.

The maximum allowable field strength emitted by the XP20 is 0.3V/m according to Subpart B of Part 1 of the FCC rules. Therefore, the XP Series has no effect on medical devices that meet the IEC specification.

Microwaves. The radio in the XP Series terminal operates on the same frequency band as a microwave oven. Therefore, if you use a microwave within range of the XP20 you may notice performance degradation in your wireless network. However, both your microwave and your wireless network will continue to function. The XP Series batch devices do not contain a radio, and therefore, are not affected by microwave ovens.

Care and cleaning of terminals

When needed, clean the image engine window and the LCD display with a clean, non-abrasive, lint-free cloth. The terminal can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
