SECTION 1

Key Descriptions

This section includes a description of how the shift keys work and the differences between a 41-key and 51-key keyboard. Your particular keyboard may have an overlay that has additional keys other than those described in this section. Refer to your application operation manual for descriptions of those keys. The following descriptions cover both the 41-key and 51-key computers using a DOS/PC overlay.

ENT (Enter) Key

Two Enter keys are provided for the convenience of both left and right handed users. These keys are the same as an

(Enter) key on a PC. You use them to enter data, or as a

“Yes” response to display prompts.

SCAN Key

This key is used with an integrated scanner to read bar code labels. If your application does not use a scanner or if you are using an optional tethered scanner, you probably will not use this key. Pressing this key also resumes operation (awaken your computer) if it is in the suspend mode.

Period [.] Key

Use the period [.] key as a period or a decimal point.

Minus [- ] Key

Use the minus [--] key to enter negative values or dashes in character fields. The minus key is also used for “No” responses to display prompts.


SECTION 1


Numeric Keys

Use the numeric keys as you would those on a calculator.

Numeric values are single keystroke operations.

Alphabetic Keys

Your computer provides the full alphabet on both the 41and 51-key keyboards. Alphabetic characters are single keystroke operations with the 51-key keyboard but are two keystrokes on a 41-key keyboard. Alphabetic characters can be entered on the 41-key keyboard by using the blue shift key.

Backspace [ ] Key

Use the backspace key to back the cursor up one character at a time. Holding this key down causes the cursor to continuously move backwards until you stop or you run out of space to move.

Shift Keys

Your computer has three different “shift” function keys.

These keys temporarily shift the function of the keyboard.

Your keyboard has a green [SHFT] key, a blue key and a yellow key. The green shift key is a standard shift key. Both the blue and yellow keys work just like the shift key, and allow access to different alternate functions. Your keyboard may have up to three color-coded legends (words or characters) above some of the keys. The green, blue, or yellow

“shift” keys correspond to those options.



SECTION 1

Green [SHFT] Key

Pressing the green [SHFT] key shifts the keyboard between uppercase and lowercase for a single keystroke entry. If the keyboard is set for uppercase character entry, pressing green [SHFT] followed by a character key enters a single lowercase character.

Blue Key

Use the blue shift key to enter single keystroke entries of that shifted option. The blue shifted function relates to the blue legends located above the keys.

Using a 41-Key Keyboard

On the 41-key keyboard, above the yellow shift key is Alphabetic Lock, illustrated by the symbol ALPHA . This locks the keyboard so only the alphabetical characters are entered. Press the blue key and then the yellow key.

The blue padlock is CAPS LOCK. This causes alphabetic characters to be capitalized. Press the blue key and then the space key.

ALPHABETIC or CAPS lock continues until the blue then yellow shift keys are pressed again.

Using a 51-Key Keyboard

On the 51-key keyboard, there is no ALPHA Lock key because the alphabetical letters are not shifted functions.

Yellow Key

Use the yellow shift key to enter single keystroke entries of that shifted option. The yellow shift functions relates to the yellow legends on your keyboard.


SECTION 1

EXAMPLE:


Using Shifted Functions

This section explains the use of the shift keys.

The Rules

The green [SHFT] key is the same as the SHIFT key on a

PC except that the green shift key also relates to those characters where green legends appear above the keys.

On a PC, SHIFT [3] produces the # character, and that is the same on the hand-held computer.

Contrast and backlighting are on the window scrolling arrow keys. The contrast control and backlight control are not the same as the PC shift. This hand-held computer uses shift left, shift right and shift up for contrast and backlight control. On a PC these key strokes produce a 4, 6, and 8.

Numeric values 0--9 are available on all the 6400 Hand-

Held Computer versions, those keys are used for special controls without causing compatibility issues.

Using the Shifted Functions

If the function you want is printed on the keyboard overlay

(in blue, yellow, or green) then you must first press that colored shift key immediately before the desired color function. That two-key combination always defines that key.

A 41-key DOS/PC keyboard has the letter S in blue over the [F9] key. Therefore, to produce a lowercase ’s’, press blue shift then the

[F9] key.

To produce an uppercase S, press the green [SHFT] key, then blue shift, then the [F9] key.

‘S’ is always produced by pressing blue shift, then the [F9] key; if you want to modify this, you press a modifier first.

To produce CTRL-S, press the [CTRL] key, then blue shift, then the

[F9] key for ‘S’.

To produce ALT-F9, press the [ALT] key, then the [F9] key.



SECTION 1

EXAMPLE:

Pressing the green [SHFT] key and then the [DEL] key produces a dot instead of deleting the character at the cursor. The nearby keys on that row [CTRL], [ALT], and [ESC] still behave normally when the green [SHFT] is pressed first.

This is why annunciators are absolutely crucial, since you must only press one key at a time. The annunciators tell you which shift key you are pressing and holding down. Refer to page 1-14 for locations and meanings of display annunciators.

Pressing more than one shift key along with another key may not always produce the result you expected. This happens as a result:

"

Of the sequence of keys pressed, and

"

The mode your computer is in at the time the key is pressed.

There is no problem when you press the green [SHFT] and the yellow key. But if you press the [SHFT] and either the blue or yellow shift key, you usually experience different results than you expect.

Summary of Shift Key Combinations

"

Green [SHFT] and either blue or yellow shift key and another keystroke, no confusion

"

Green [SHFT] and blue and yellow shift key along with another key, confusion can occur

This is similar to your PC, if the NUM LOCK or CAPS

LOCK is engaged then pressing shift and a key usually produces something other than what you want. Therefore, just like with a PC, to get the result you want you have to change a mode or the sequence you press the keys.


SECTION 1


Display Annunciator Locations on

Display Window

Annunciators are located at the extreme bottom of the display, in 20 separate positions. The following figure illustrates where each annunciator is positioned. Position 1 is located in the lower left hand corner and position 20 completes the row in the lower right hand corner.

Figure 1-7

Annunciator Locations On Display



SECTION 1

Annunciator Descriptions

Annunciators appear on the bottom line of the display.

Display Annunciators (Messages)

The symbols contained in this section are larger than actual size. The meaning of the annunciators is described below:

Shift mode: After holding down the green Shift [SHFT] key, the next character will be uppercase or the alternative function.

Control mode: Generally you use the Control mode as it is designed in by your particular application.


SECTION 1


EXAMPLE:

A

S

N

C

A

Alt mode: Generally you use the Alt mode as required by your particular application.

Scroll lock mode: This mode locks the keyboard for scrolling only. By using the scroll arrows on the [WINDOW] keys you can continuously scroll through all data entered.

Your application and keyboard definition show you which key is defined for scrolling. To unlock, press the key again.

NUM lock mode: Both the 41-key and 51-key DOS/PC keyboards have the option for locking the keyboard in numeric lock mode. Pressing the yellow shift then the number

8 key sets this function. To unlock, press the yellow shift then the number 8 key again.

CAPS lock mode: The keyboard is in CAPS lock mode when this annunciator is displayed on the bottom row of the screen. All keystrokes are entered as uppercase characters. To unlock CAPS press the [CAPS] key (51-key keyboard) again or the blue shift and space key using the

41-key keyboard.

Alphabetic lock mode: Only the 41-key keyboards have the option for locking the keyboard in alphabetic mode.

Only those keys that have alphabetic characters in the blue shift mode are affected. The primary key function and the alphabetic are swapped in Alphabetic Lock. Pressing the blue shift and then the yellow shift toggles Alphabetic Lock on and off. The following example shows how by using the number 1 key you can produce characters 1 or A.

Normal Operation: Pressing the [1] key produces the character ‘1’; pressing the blue shift key and then the [1] key produces an ‘A’.

Using the Alphabetic Lock: Pressing the [1] key produces an ‘A’; pressing the blue shift key and then the [1] key produces the character ‘1’.



SECTION 1

" NOTE:

Blue Shift Mode: This annunciator shows you that the keyboard is in the blue shift mode. Pressing a key enters the character or performs the function shown in blue on the overlay to the upper left of the key.

Yellow Shift Mode: This annunciator displays when the keyboard is in the yellow shift mode. Pressing a key enters the character or performs the function shown on the overlay in yellow to the upper right of the key.

Battery Pack Gas Gauge Icons:

These battery icons represent the charge level in your main battery pack.

"

"

"

"

Four icons indicates more than 76 % charge level

Three icons indicates between 51--75%

Two icons indicates between 26--50%

One icon indicates between 21--25%

Once your computer gets below the 20% range, the icons are replaced by “Ls” and after the charge level is less than

10% your computer emits a series of beeps.

"

"

"

"

Four Ls indicates between 16--20% charge level

Three Ls indicates between 11--15%. At the 15% charge level, your computer beeps once. The sound duration and frequency are at levels you have set for your computer.

Two Ls indicates between 6--10%. At the 10% and 7% charge levels, your computer beeps once. The sound duration and frequency are at levels you have set.

One L indicates between 0--5%. At this charge level, your computer beeps three times at its current setting level for both duration and frequency.

If you have the beeper turned off, you will not hear any of the low battery beep warnings.


SECTION 1


The battery pack icons on your computer display reflect the same status as the LEDs on the battery pack. However, there may be a one minute delay for updating the icons on the display when the battery pack is replaced.

Display Contrast

You can adjust the contrast of your display. Display contrast adjustment is a green [SHFT] function. To increase the contrast, press the green [SHFT] key and then the [ ] key (the window scroll-right arrow). To decrease the contrast, press the green [SHFT] key and then the [ ] key (the left window scroll arrow).

Backlight

Your hand-held computer display has a backlight feature.

Backlighting the display helps when using your hand-held computer in poorly lit working areas. To toggle the backlight on and off press and hold the green [SHFT] key then the backlight [ ] key (the window scroll-up arrow).

Window Scrolling Arrows

Use the window scrolling arrows while in the blue shift mode to adjust the area of the screen that is visible. Pressing the blue shift key and then one of the arrow keys moves the display one row or column at a time until the arrow key is released. This allows you to pan across the entire virtual

CGA screen.



SECTION 1

[l/O] Suspend or Resume

Pressing the

[I/O] key does not turn the computer off completely, but instead puts it into a suspend mode. Suspend mode enables the computer to conserve power but also enables it to respond quickly to data entry. Your hand-held computer responds to the scan key, the trigger on the scanner handle, or the

[I/O] key. To force your computer into suspend, press the

[I/O] key. Opening the battery pack door latch also puts your computer into suspend.

Thecomputer puts itself into suspend mode if no activity has occurred for a set period of time. The time that elapses before it suspends is determined by the parameters you set using your application software, AUTOEXEC.BAT or CON-

FIG.SYS files.

Handstrap

An elastic handstrap is included for your hand-held computer. Using the handstrap provides comfort to you and also helps prevent you from accidentally dropping your computer.

Whether you are left or right handed, the handstrap can be secured to accommodate your need. Figure 1-8 and

Figure 1-9 on page 1-19 show how to fasten the handstrap to the top and bottom of your computer.

Available as options and accessories are an adjustable handstrap and an adjustable wriststrap. These are shown in NO TAG and NO TAG on pages 1-29 and NO TAG and can be attached for either left or right handed use.

Buzzer

B CAUTION:

The buzzer sounds when you press a key (the “key click”) or make a good scan, or when certain error conditions occur.

Refer to Figure 1-1 on page 1-3 for the location of the buzzer.

Keep all foreign material out of the buzzer opening. The buzzer opening is not a pencil or pen holder. The buzzer is sealed but could be punctured by sharp objects which harm the buzzer and allow rain, dirt, or other materials to get inside your hand-held computer.

You can adjust the frequency and length of time of the buzzer tones through your parameter settings. The parameter settings are detailed in Section 3.

Infrared (IrDA) Port

The IrDA port provides for the transmitting of an infrared signal to:

"

"

"

A printer equipped with an IrDA adapter

A personal computer with IrDA serial adapter

Any other IrDA compatible device

Battery Management

The normal charge time for the main battery pack is 1.5

hours for a 2 cell pack and 3 hours for a 4 cell pack.

You should charge the battery pack until the green LED on the charger comes on, indicating a fully charged pack.


SECTION 1

EXAMPLE:


A fully charged battery pack, left outside of a charger or your computer, self discharges in about 20 days. It is best to take batteries directly from the charging device and install them into your computer.

Your battery packs are rated for 500 full charge/discharge cycles after which they have 50% of their original capacity.

The main and backup batteries will not charge below 32_F

(0_C) and above 104_F(40_C). The battery life of the cells is reduced when running in cold temperatures.

Your computer should be used only two shifts a day in a below 0_C environment to allow eight hours for the internal backup battery to recharge in room temperature.

It is always a good idea to check the capacity of your battery pack before inserting it into your computer, and charge accordingly. Refer to Measuring Battery Pack Charge

Level on page 2-7 for instructions.

WARNING: The battery can explode if it is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent kind.

AVERTISSEMENT: La batterie au lithium peut exploser si elle est replacée de manière incorrecte. Elle ne doit être remplacée que par une batterie identique ou similaire.

WARNING: The lithium battery can explode if placed incorrectly in the charger.

AVERTISSEMENT: Les batteries au lithium peuvent exploser ou prendre feu si elles sont trop chargées à cause d’une mauvaise installation de la station d’accueil.

When your computer goes into suspend mode because of low main battery condition, the data is protected by the backup battery. Your computer will not accept data or process transactions until you deal with the low battery condition.

The backup battery protects the data that you have entered for at least 100 hours.


SECTION 1


Backup Battery

Your hand-held computer contains a rechargeable nickelmetal hydride backup battery. This backup battery recharges when needed from either an external charging source (like a printer or dock) or from the main battery pack. If the backup battery is completely run down it takes a minimum of 8 hours to completely recharge but it is better to recharge it for a full 12 hours.

The backup battery remains ready to protect the computers data whenever the main battery pack is removed or needs recharging. The backup battery should last about 500 cycles (discharge and recharge equals a cycle). This battery should last for about 5 years before it needs to be replaced.

If your computer fails to hold data for at least 100 hours in the suspend mode, send your computer to the Intermec

Customer Support Center for replacement.

Memory

This hand-held computer design uses these types of memory:

"

"

Main Memory DRAM

Flash

Main Memory

Your main memory DRAM options available are 2, 4 or 8

Megabytes. The main memory was ordered at the time your unit was purchased. To add additional memory, send your computer into your Intermec Customer Support Center.

The main memory is protected by the backup battery during low or dead main battery conditions or when the main battery pack is removed.



SECTION 1

Flash

Flash memory is available in 2 or 4 Megabytes. Flash stores the BIOS and DOS. Software stored in flash is copied into DRAM for execution. Your application may also store information in flash memory. Flash memory retains data even if all power sources are depleted.

Diagnostic EEPROM

The hand-held computer collects and stores diagnostics.

They can provide useful information to an Intermec Customer Support Specialist, should your computer fail to operate. You will be instructed by Intermec service personnel to complete the necessary steps while they are troubleshooting your system with you.

Resetting

In the rare event that your hand-held computer fails to respond to your input, it may be necessary to “reset.” A

“hard” reset of your computer is done by holding down the

Blue, Yellow and both ENT (Enter) keys all at the same time, until your computer starts beeping. This usually takes about 1--2 seconds. This method is equivalent to powering off and on with a PC. Resetting (also called rebooting) can up to 45 seconds.

Depending on the type of overlay your computer is programmed for, usually a “soft” reset is done by pressing Ctrl,

Alt, and Delete.


SECTION 1


Batch Terminal Operation

Your hand-held computer contains internal memory so it can collect and store data and then at the end of a day or shift, transmit (send) it to a centrally located host computer. Many applications do this upload and download of information daily, but sometimes this may happen several times a day, or only occur weekly.

Terminal Emulation

In Terminal Emulation you are using your hand-held computer to imitate the appearance and operation of another terminal (usually a particular IBM or DEC display monitor). The keyboard overlays for the emulated terminals supported by this computer are contained in Appendix B.

Accessories and Options

Internal Scanner

Your hand-held computer can be ordered with an internal integrated scanner. An integrated scanner provides the convenience of having a computer and scanner in one, for the freedom of one handed operation.

Internal Radio

Your hand-held computer can be factory equipped with either a 902 MHz or 2.4 GHz spread spectrum radio. This computer with a radio provides for both batch (store and forward data transfer later) and real-time (right now) interaction with your host computer or network for flexibility of operation.



SECTION 1

B CAUTION:

Communication Adapter

The pins on the external connectors of the hand-held computer are fragile. Attach or disconnect cables with care to prevent damaging the connectors.

External Scanner Connector

The Communication Adapter contains a 9-pin connector for attaching a tethered scanner. Appendix A on page A-2 contains the pinouts for this connector.

SECTION 1

Configuring Terminal Emulation over IP

For TE/IP, the host is usually specified by an IP address

(unless you are using a domain name server). This can cause a problem because often the 6400 computer needs to know which port the host application is residing on. The default port number (23) is automatically assumed in TE/

IP. Therefore, if the default port is where the application is residing, only the host IP address needs to be entered for the TE program’s Host Name parameter.

If your application resides on a port other than 23, you must configure the 6400 computer’s PCTCP.INI file and host table file, and then configure the TE program’s Host

Name parameter.

1. Open the PCTCP.INI file and enter:

EXAMPLE:

" NOTE:

host--table = c:\<pathname>\<host table filename>

2. Open the host table file and enter:

127.0.0.1

LOCALHOST

<host IP address> <variable>

127.0.0.1

192.168.5.40

LOCALHOST

X

3. Enter the Terminal Emulation menus and go to the

Host Name parameter. Enter the variable located in the host table file followed by a space and then the port number to which the terminal connects to the host. For example x 15

You cannot enter the host IP address, a space, and then the port number for the Host Name parameter, because the length of the

Before Using Your Hand-Held Computer for the First Time

Your hand-held computer is shipped with uncharged batteries for safety reasons. Charge your computer for 12 hours before using it the first time. This ensures that both the main and backup batteries are fully charged. For complete charging instructions refer to Charging Your Battery

Pack beginning on page 2-8.

" NOTE:

After the initial charging of 12 hours, the normal charge time for the main battery pack is 1.5 hours for a 2 cell pack and 3 hours for a optional scanner handle with 4 cell pack.

If you use batteries and external battery pack chargers but do not use docks to charge the batteries, you need to fully charge your backup battery. To ensure the backup battery is fully charged:

1. Insert a fully charged main battery into your computer.

2. Perform the four finger reset (both Enter keys, blue shift, and yellow shift keys) simultaneously. See

Figure 2-1 (page 2-3) for location of keys.

Red indicates that the battery is charging.

Green indicates the battery pack is fully charged.

A combination of a blinking red and orange LED can indicate one of two basic conditions: Either a bad connection, in which case you need to remove and reinsert the battery pack into the charger, or there is a faulty battery that needs to be replaced. However, the indicator can also alert you of a more serious charging or product error. Table 2-1 and Table 2-2 on page 2-10 show you this more extensive list of error codes and the solution notes.

Solution Notes

Solution

To isolate the issue to the battery pack itself, put the “suspected” battery pack into a computer and operate for a few minutes. Then, try the battery pack in different charger cups to see if this error still occurs. If it does occur, send the battery pack to your service center for replacement.

This situation could be caused by a bad charger cup or a computer

.

Insert different batteries into this same charger cup. If the cup produces this same error with the other batteries, this indicates that the cup on the charger is bad. To get the battery back into a good state, put the battery pack back in the computer and operate for a few minutes. Then place the battery pack into a different charger cup and recharge. Send the charger to your service center.

Leave the battery pack in the charger for a minimum of 16 hours. If the error condition still exists, send the battery pack to your service center.

Backup Battery

A fully charged backup battery provides protection for maintaining data approximately 100 hours with the main battery removed or completely run down. The backup battery is charged from the main battery pack and every time your hand-held computer is placed in a dock or charging source.

" NOTE:

Your computer should be placed on a charging source for 12 hours before using the first time to fully charge the backup battery.

The backup battery is not user-replaceable. To have your backup battery replaced, send it in to the Intermec

Customer Service Center nearest to you. Whenever you send in your computer for service, include a description of what you would like to have done to it.


Operation

SECTION 2

Downloading Programs To Your

Hand-Held Computer

Downloading parameters, program data, or inventory is done by placing your hand-held computer into a dock, through the IrDA port, or through the connector on the optional Communication Adapter endcap. The docking devices not only transmit data between your computer and the host, but also provide charging.

Programming the Flash

The flash drive (c:\) is readable and writeable; therefore, you can modify, create and delete files, etc. as your needs

R demand. The PEN*KEY

Model 6400 Programmer ’s

Reference Guide NPN: 977-054-004 contains the complete details for programming flash. The upper 256 KB of flash is reserved for the BIOS and DOS files. If this area ever needs updating you will be furnished with complete instructions along with the updated files.


SECTION 2

Operation

Turning Your Hand-Held Computer On and Off (Suspending)

Turning On Your Computer

Turn your hand-held computer on by pressing and releasing the

[I/O] key. When your computer is cold booted (turning on the first time or after resetting), it displays several messages in rapid succession. The first message shows the firmware version and its release date (DD/MMM/YY). If you are just resuming, the display is restored to its previous state.

The screens that follow depend on your application. The documentation that addresses using this computer as a batch (store now and send later) unit instruct you about all remaining operations.

Suspending Your Hand-Held

Computer

To suspend operation, press and release the

[I/O] key once.

Suspending operation works only if your computer is not plugged into a charging source. The memory contents are protected when the power is suspended.

Automatic Suspend

Your computer automatically puts itself into the suspend mode after a period of inactivity. However, waiting to suspend uses battery energy. Therefore it is best to manually suspend it by pressing the

[I/O] key when not entering data. The memory contents are protected when the power is suspended.

Terminal Emulation programs do not automatically suspend. When lying idle but not manually suspended, the integrated radio module is still active and will drain battery


Operation

SECTION 2

much as if it is actively being used. Therefore, it is necessary to manually suspend your computer by pressing the

[I/O] key.

Understanding the Key Clicks

EXAMPLE:

You communicate your intended action to your hand-held computer through pressing a key on the keyboard. Your computer communicates back to you through an audible response, a “key click.”

Each time you press a key, your computer lets you know with a single audible key click. Pressing certain keys causes two consecutive key clicks that occur one after another so quickly that they almost sound like a single beep. These two consecutive key clicks occur because your computer automatically “presses” the shift key for you in these cases.

An example of consecutive key clicks is the same as what happens when you use the “shift” key on a PC. These keys include a colon(:), double quote(”), and percent sign(%).

If you enter an incorrect action or keystroke, you hear a

“beep.” An error “beep” is longer than a key click. An error

“beep” is intended to get your attention and let you know an error occurred.


SECTION 2

Operation

Scanning

You can order an integrated scanner as part of your handheld computer or you can attach a tethered 5-volt serial, decoded out bar code scanner to your computer. Scanners allow the computer to read and interpret bar codes.

Operation

" NOTE:

SECTION 2

To use the integrated scanner, simply point the top of your unit at the bar code, press the [SCAN] key and listen for the beep acknowledging a good scan. A short high-tone beep indicates a good scan. If you hear no beep, scan the bar code again. If you are still not getting a “good scan” beep, follow these instructions.

1. Ensure you are positioning the scan lens properly across the bar code.

2. The scan beam must cross every bar and space on the symbol.

3. Hold the scanner farther away for larger symbols.

4. Hold the scanner closer for symbols with bars that are close together.

Tip: After reading a bar code, aim the lens away from the bar codes and press the SCAN key within 1/2 second, to get the laser beam back on. With the laser beam on, you have five seconds to find and scan the next bar code.

Terminal Emulation Menu Screens

" " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " "

Introduction

The Terminal Emulation Menu Screens are provided to support terminals running Intermec Terminal Emulation or

6400 TCP/IP software. This section describes the menus used to set operating and scanning parameters for the hand-held computer. Additional information can be found in the programmer ’s guide or technical overview for your particular emulation program.

Keyboard Functions

Some keys on the hand-held computer have special functions, which can vary depending upon the application software. General function keys (keys that perform the same task, regardless of the application) are described in the following paragraphs.

Yellow and Blue Shift Keys

Use the yellow and blue shift keys to put the keyboard in the desired (yellow or blue) shift mode. These shifted key functions are shown on the keyboard overlays in Appendix

C.


Terminal Emulation Menu Screens

SECTION 3

ENTER [ENT] Keys

Press either [ENT] key to select the option that is highlighted in the menu shown on the display. After selecting an option [ENT] either restores the display to the previous menu or advances to the next menu.

Number Keys [0] Through [9]

Many menus have numbered options. To choose a particular option, press the numeric key that corresponds to that option.

Once you make a selection and you remain at that menu screen, the option is highlighted, but you can select additional options. To deselect an enabled option, press the number corresponding to that option.

In some cases, pressing a number brings up a different menu (submenu). This allows you to further modify the choice made in the parent menu. Press the [ENT] key to confirm the settings and exit this menu.

After the modification(s), you may (depending on the menu and function) be permitted to return to the parent menu to make additional selections. There are also situations where pressing [6] causes your computer to exit from a submenu or reboot.

Various menus require entering a number, but do not necessarily have simple choices such as 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. Instead, you may have to enter a number from a range (example:

0--32). You may have to press [ENT] after these.

These instances are detailed in the text that applies to those menus, or in the menu displays.

Adjust the length and frequency of the key click and error buzzers.

Set the display size (the number of rows displayed and characters per row) of the display.

Display Annunciators

Annunciators show the current status or operation in progress. The following lists some of the annunciators common to all emulations. These annunciators occupy positions 0 through 8 of the display. A bibliography follows that tells where more information can be found.

Display Position 0

Radio computer. The radio is transmitting data to the base station.


If the radio icon is displayed in position 0 then position 1 shows the status of the radio transmission (either receiving, sending, communication loss, or message waiting). If there is no radio icon shown in position 0 then this position is blank and position 1 shows the active session number 1 or

2.

Sending. Radio is sending data to the base station.

Receiving. Radio is receiving data from the base station.

This annunciator appears only when the information is for this particular computer’s address.



SECTION 3

X

Communications loss. No communication with the host computer has occurred for at least 60 seconds. The radio computer may be out of radio range, the base station may not have power, or communications from the host computer to the base station may not be properly set up.

Message. You have received a message and it has not been read.


Input Inhibited. The keyboard has accepted enough information for the current input field. If the “key ahead” feature is on, the terminal stores the keystrokes made after

“input inhibited” appears. The host may also inhibit (lockout) the keyboard upon certain errors or when sending additional information to your computer.

Insert Mode. Characters are inserted, not overwritten.

Communication

Use the Communication menu to set, view, or change the hand-held computer identification number. This number allows the host computer to identify individual hand-held computer in the radio data network. Each hand-held computer must have a unique number in the same network.

The Radio Setup and the Host/Cntl menus, are shown on the following pages. Depending on which option you are exercising you will either advance to the WTP Stack settings or the TCP/IP Stack settings.

WTP Settings

To set or change the hand-held computer identification number, use the numeric keys on the computer keyboard.

After entering a number (between 0 and 126), press the

[ENT] key to go to the Host/Cntl Setup menus.

The LAN ID number can be 0--255 depending on the radio you are using. With the RM60/70 radio the number can be

0--255 and with the RM80/90 radio the range is 0--15. Your computer only communicates with equipment using the same ID number that you assigned to your LAN.

If you enter a LAN ID number that is different from what is configured in your NET.CFG file you get this message.

LAN ID changed

Need to reboot to take effect.

If this happens the system modifies your net.cfg file which is used by the WTPPKT.EXE program on initialization of your computer.

Selected options are highlighted on the display. To deselect a selected option, press the key that corresponds to that option.


SECTION 3


Scan Options

Use the Scan Options menu to designate how the hand-held computer handles scanned bar codes. The Scan Options menu is shown below. Descriptions of the options follow.

Scan Options

1) Redundancy

2) MOD 10 Check

3) Concatenate

4) BC Type Char

5) Stream Scan

6) Scan All Flds

7) More

Redundancy: This option requires two identical scans of a bar code, one right after another, before the hand-held computer accepts the scan as valid.

Mod 10 Check: When you select this option, a check digit is added at the end of the bar code after a good read. This is a variation of the modulus 10 formula and is used infrequently.

For additional information on Mod10, refer to the book

PEN*KEY

R 6400 Programmers Reference Guide p/n:

977-054-004.

Concatenate: Each bar code read is added to the end of the previous bar code read until the computer meets a condition that forces transmission to the host.

When this option is OFF, each bar code read is placed at the beginning of the current input field. After a bar code is placed in a field, any subsequent read replaces the first read.

BC Type Char: This option adds a character associated with the bar code type at the beginning of the scanned bar code.

Stream Scan: If the scanned bar code is too big for the input field, the overflow information appears in the next field. This continues until the entire bar code is entered.



SECTION 3

When this option is OFF, and the scanned bar code is too big for the input field, the overflow information is dropped.

Scan All Fields: When you select this option the scanner is enabled whenever the cursor is in an input field. When this option is OFF, the host computer must enable the scanner for each input field that requires scanned data.

After you press the [ENT] key, the display advances to additional Scan Options menus.

To enable the scan options, press the numeric key(s) corresponding to the options you want, then press [ENT]. You

can enable more than one Scan Option at a time.

Scan PreChar and Scan PostChar: Enter a hexadecimal value from 00--FF for the character to be sent preceding the scanned data or after the scanned data. The value of 20h means that pre or post characters are not sent.

I 2 of 5 only supports fixed lengths 1 and 2. Entries in fixed lengths 3 and 4 are ignored as well as minimum and maximum lengths.

The next prompts set fixed bar code lengths (the enabled bar code must be of a certain length—determined by your entry). Fixed-length entries override the maximum and minimum length entries (minimum and maximum are used for chosen codes). If you do not want fixed lengths for the enabled bar code, enter zero (0).

3. Enter the fixed length (0--99) for the defined bar code, then press [ENT]. Each time you set a fixed length,

(then press the [ENT] key) you are prompted to set another fixed length—up to four. To set fewer than four fixed lengths, enter zero (0) for the unused fixed lengths. (For example, if you only require 2 fixed lengths, enter zero when the Fixed Length 3 and 4 prompts appear on the display.)

Use the next two prompts to drop a particular number of characters from the front (leading) or rear (trailing) edge of the scanned bar code.

4. Enter the number of characters (0--15) to drop from the beginning of the scanned bar code, then press

[ENT].

5. Enter the number of characters (0--15) to drop from the end of the scanned bar code, then press [ENT] .

After you have set all of the length options for the enabled bar code the display returns to one of the Scan Options menus (depending on which menu you enabled the bar code from).



SECTION 3

Protocol Options

Use this selection to designate the hand-held computer type of the host computer. You can also designate which additional commands and command sets are available.

The Protocol Opts menu has seven submenus to customize your hand-held computer. The Protocol Opts menu is shown on the next page.

7) Native

Host View Size

The Host View Size option tells the hand-held computer the format of display information sent from the host. The display viewing size equals 1920 (determined by taking the number of rows times the number of columns). The exception is with 5250 Terminal Emulation which can have an additional row for error messages and therefore can have

2000 characters instead of 1920.

The default setting for 6400 WTP using Native Terminal

Emulation is 120 columns by 16 rows (equals 1920). The default for VT220 Terminal Emulation is 80 columns by 24 rows (equals 1920). The default for 5250 Terminal Emulation is 80 columns by 24 rows (25 with error messages).

The default for 3270 Terminal Emulation depends on what the original setting was before you changed to 3270 Terminal Emulation. Remember that the total characters must equal 1920 (number of rows by the number of columns) unless using 5250 Terminal Emulation with error messages.

To change the screen size:

1. Press the arrow keys. Each key press moves the word

On one position in the direction of the arrow key pressed. The word On indicates the current setting (the setting above is 18 rows with 20 characters per line— the word On is in the row 18, column 20).

2. When the word On appears in the position corresponding to the desired screen size, press the [ENT] key.

Screen Mode

Use Screen Mode to select cursor position and movement as you scroll through data in the display buffer. This buffer stores data in a standard CRT format (as sent from the host computer). Since your hand-held computer display is smaller than a CRT, these Screen Mode options allow you to optimize your view of information (data) on the hand-held computer display.

In order to see all of the data on the screen, use the arrow keys to scroll (or “move”) the view port of the screen on the display.


SECTION 3


Screen Mode

1) Center Cursor

2) Corner Mode

3) Page Mode

4) Lazy Mode

5) Locked Mode

Center Cursor is the default mode. In this mode, the cursor begins near the center of the display and attempts to remain there as you scroll through the data. Upon reaching an outside boundary of the full CRT screen, the display stops advancing while the cursor moves beyond the center of the screen. When the cursor reaches the boundary of the

CRT screen, an error tone sounds (the hand-held computer

“beeps”). The cursor does not wrap to the next line in the display. This option is recommended when your application program sends the full CRT display to the hand-held computer.

The Corner Mode option starts the display at the upperleft corner of the full CRT screen and keeps the cursor in the lower-right corner of the display. As you scroll, the cursor remains there as data advances in the scrolled direction

(up, down, right, or left)—until an outside boundary of the full CRT screen is reached. Then the screen stops moving in relation to the display and the cursor moves in the scrolled direction (the cursor no longer remains in the corner of the display). When the cursor reaches the CRT screen boundary it stops moving. The cursor does not wrap to the next line in the display. An error tone sounds if you try to move the cursor beyond the boundary. This option is recommended when your application uses only the upper-left corner of the full

CRT screen.

The Page Mode option divides the full CRT screen into predefined “pages,” and starts the hand-held computer display on page 1. The cursor first appears in the upper-right corner of the display. As you scroll, only the cursor moves



SECTION 3

" NOTE:

" NOTE:

(the data on the screen does not appear to move). When you scroll off the edge of the displayed page, the display snaps to the next (or previous) page. Upon reaching the boundary of the CRT screen, the cursor stops moving and an error tone sounds each time you attempt to move beyond the boundary.

Some “pages” in Page Mode overlap each other (the same information is shown on both pages). This overlap occurs because the 24 row by 80 column CRT screen cannot be divided equally.

Lazy Mode starts the cursor in the upper left corner of the hand-held computer display. The cursor moves across the display in the scrolled direction. When the cursor goes beyond the edge of the display, the data begins to move in the opposite direction that the cursor is moving in and the cursor remains at the edge of the display. When you reach an outside boundary of the full CRT display, an error tone sounds each time you try to move beyond the boundary.

When Locked Mode is selected the screen view is locked to the upper left hand corner of the display. Any characters outside of the display window size you select are written to the screen, but you can not see them. The windowing keys do not move the visible window.

In 5250 emulation the err_row is mapped to the last row of the screen size selected.

Annunciators

You can select and change the location of the annunciators on your display screen. The default is the lower right corner, the other choices are any of the other three corners.

You can also select Stealth Mode which displays the annunciators only when you make a change and then hides it when you press a key.


SECTION 3


Key Uppercase

The Key Uppercase option, when enabled, causes the alphabetic keys (A--Z) to display as uppercase characters regardless of the shift or caps lock mode settings.

Scroll Window

Menu items are: (1) Tab Size, (2) Screen Size, (3) Define

Width, and (4) Define Height. Choices 1 and 2 allow you to define the size (tab or screen size) of cursor movement: how far it moves with each press of the arrow key. Choices 3 and

4 allow you to customize the screen size.

Scroll Window

1) Tab Size

2) Screen size

3) Define Width

RFLink, is a general description of the overall quality of RF connection between the Lucent radio in the 6400

(station) and the radio in the AP. The Lucent radio grades the RF link on a scale between 0 and 92. This value represents the RF channel Signal-to-Noise Ratio. The RF link quality descriptions are assigned as shown in this table.

EXAMPLE:

"

Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), is calculated by dividing the RF signal level by the RF noise level. The result is a number that indicates the overall communications quality of the RF link and is expressed in dBm.

Service Set ID (SSID), is a 32 character, alphanumeric string that identifies the service set, or infrastructure, with which the 6400 is currently associated. The SSID is a user configurable parameter. The SSID is configured by the keyword WaveLAN_Network_Name in the net.cfg file. Setting WaveLAN_Network_Name to ANY allows the station to associate with any service set.

Basic Service Set ID (BSSI), it the 6 byte MAC address of the Lucent radio in the AP with which the station is associated. The Lucent radio in the terminal may associate with a non-Lucent (but 802.11 compliant) radio in an AP. Looking at the first three bytes of the MAC address (OUI) can help identify the AP radio’s manufacturer.

An OUI of “00601D” points to a Lucent radio, while “0020A6” indicates a Proxim radio.


SECTION 3


"

TXRate, is the data rate (in Mb/s) of the last message transmitted by the Lucent radio. The default TXRate of 2 Mb/s and will be displayed when the terminal starts up and has not transmitted a frame yet. High speed Lucent radio’s are capable of data rates of 1 Mb/ s, 2 Mb/s, 5.5 Mb/s, and 11 Mb/s. The TxRate 5.5 Mb/s data rate is displayed as 6 Mb/s. This occurs because the Lucent radio reports an integer value for current transmission data rate, so the data rate of 5.5 Mb/s is rounded up to 6 Mb/s.

Several factors influence the rate at which a frame is transmitted. First, you can configure the radio’s transmission rate in the net.cfg file. The keyword Trans-

mit_Rate in the net.cfg holds a numeric value indicating the transmission rate. Table 2 shows the

Transmit_Rate values and their respective supported transmission rates that are available in the high speed Lucent radio’s.

The transmission rate is also affected by the characteristics of the RF link. If the radio encounters problems sending a higher transmission rate because the

RF link is weak, busy, or noisy, then the radio may retry the transmission at a lower data rate. Therefore, the TxRate reported may be lower than the configured transmission rate. We only report the transmission rate of the most recent and successful transmission.

Two Ls indicates between 6--10%. At the 10% and 7% charge levels, your computer beeps once. The sound duration and frequency are at levels you have set for your computer.


" NOTE:


The battery pack icons on your computer display reflect the same status as the LEDs on the battery pack. However, there may be a one-minute delay for updating the icons on the display when the battery pack is replaced.

If you turn your computer on and it does not respond, this may mean that both the main and backup battery are run down. Just to be sure, insert your computer in a dock or other charging device, turn it on, and see if the computer responds. If it does, follow the “Charging Your Battery

Pack” instructions beginning on page 2-8 and the “Back-

up Battery” instructions on page 2-11. If it does not respond when inserted into the equipment that provides charge, another problem could exist. If this happens, refer to the Troubleshooting section for solutions.


SECTION 4


Cleaning Your Hand-Held Computer

Periodic cleaning helps maintain the appearance and reliability of your hand-held computer. When cleaning your computer, inspect the keyboard, covers, display, connectors, and peripheral products for obvious signs of damage or wear.

B CAUTION:

Do not use any abrasive cleaning compounds, ketonic solvents

(acetone or ketone) or aromatic solvents (toluene or xylene) to clean any part of your computer. These solutions cause permanent damage to your computer.

Never pour cleaners directly on the display nor the case.

Instead put the cleanser on a soft cloth and gently wipe the case.

Case and Display

Intermec Corporation recommends cleaning the exterior of your computer using a soft cloth dampened with:

"

"

MICRO-CLEAN II cleanser, made by Foresight International, Inc. 4887 F Street, Omaha, NE

68127-0205, telephone 1-800-637-1344

Glass cleaner or isopropyl alcohol

Docking Connectors

If the docking connector contacts become dirty or tarnished, clean them with a cotton swab dipped in isopropyl (and not ethyl) alcohol. It may also be necessary to lightly burnish them with a pencil eraser.



SECTION 4

Troubleshooting

Should you encounter difficulties in routine operation, printing, or communications, there are a few things you may do to correct the problem:

"

"

"

Refer to your applications (software user) manual operating procedures.

Ensure that electrical and mechanical connections are secure and undamaged.

Check battery condition.

Table 4-1

Basic Troubleshooting

Solution

This is the lowest battery charge level that your computer will operate before shutting down. Do not continue using until you recharge the main battery pack.

Lithium Ion batteries lose about half of their available capacity after 500 cycles (use and recharge = 1 cycle).

Therefore, a fully charged battery pack after 500 cycles shows less than four lit LEDs, this is normal. Plan your charging needs accordingly, and note that the capacity continues to decrease with each cycle.

Solution

Leave the same battery pack in your computer for at least

30 minutes, to allow some time to put some charge into your backup battery. Then replace the battery pack with a fully charged pack. Put the original battery pack into an external battery charger.

It takes a minute after you put in the battery pack for your computer to check the status and display the updated battery charge level.

The computer was left for the weekend without a battery pack in it. Therefore, when you start out the week with the fresh charged battery it has to build up the charge level in the backup battery and that leaves less power for its normal days use.

The computer was not suspended (pressing the [I/O] key to blank the display) before the battery was replaced.

Another reason can be that the backup battery may be drained. Recharge the computer for a minimum of 12 hours.

If a problem still exists then send your computer to the service center.

There is a fault state condition occurring in the battery pack or the charger. For the complete details concerning the sequence of the colors of the blinks refer to Section 2

Battery Charger LED and Error Codes on page 2-10.

* Ensure that there is a main battery in.

* Ensure that the main battery is charged.

* Ensure that the battery compartment door is closed.

* Ensure the dock is plugged in.


* Reseat computer into dock to ensure proper connection.

* You may have a very low battery. Try recharging the main battery.

* You may have hit the battery door latch; this causes your computer to suspend. Check the latch then press the [I/O] key to continue operation.

The backup battery may not be fully charged, allow at least

8 hours to completely recharge the backup battery.

Solution

* The computer may not be making full contact with the dock. Try reseating the unit in the dock.

* The dock may not be properly connected to the host. Make sure there is a connection. TCOM errors may happen when telephone service is lost, or for reasons not related to the physical connection.

Normal time is between 30--45 seconds. If you do not have your computer connected to a charging source the booting should be less than 30 seconds. Short beeps about one second apart occur during the booting process to indicate that your computer is working.

If it takes longer than that, contact personnel.

* Ensure the scanner lens is clean.

* Ensure the bar code is free of smears or dirt.

Refer to instructions for Scanning beginning on page 2-15.

* Normal operation is that the scan key on computer wakes it up, but if using a tethered scanner it does not.

* Ensure that there is a main battery installed.



Can Not Scan

Interleaved 2 Of 5

Bar Codes

Interleaved 2 of 5 only decodes bar codes that are exactly the same number of characters as programmed into the integrated scanner lengths 1 and 2 parameters. By default, the lengths are 14 and 0. A length of 0 means disabled, so only 14 character bar codes will decode. Ensure one of the lengths is set to the length of your bar code and the other disabled. Do not leave both lengths set, if only one is needed, because Interleaved 2 of 5 can easily mis-decode into an incorrect length.

Solution

Beeps are heard at the end of a programming sequence.

Enabling Interleaved 2 of 5 is a one-bar code sequence.

Setting an Interleaved 2 of 5 length is a three-bar code sequence. You will not hear the beep until the third (last) bar code is scanned. Please note, you must scan each bar code of a multiple sequence within a 1/2 second of each other. This is most easily accomplished by making a high resolution copy of the appropriate bar codes and arranging them one above the other.

Ensure when loading 64SCN7B that the “--t0” switch is used to disable its handling of serial port data as scanner data. Otherwise, 64SCN7B is reading any XON/XOFF messages from the printer.

Press any key to proceed. By default, 64SCN7B will try to initialize the integrated scanner. If your computer does not have an integrated scanner, turn off the handling of it with the 64SCN7B command line switch “--i0”. The error message will not cause any problems. If you do have an integrated scanner, it is inoperative and needs to be repaired.

Add the “--p” command line switch to 64SCN7B --e--w. Also, ensure the [PCTCP TN] section of the PCTCP.INI files contains “screen-saver=yes”. TN.EXE bypasses the BIOS key buffer, but TN is not reading the buffer. The “--p” switch causes 64SCN7B to send the keys to the hardware instead of the BIOS. The “--p” switch may be tried for any software that reads keys directly from the hardware rather than the

BIOS.

If these basic solutions do not solve your problem, there could be a number of possible causes. Additional things to try:
