Scanning Bar Codes Laser Scanning To use the scanning function on units containing a laser scanning module, complete the following steps: 1. Select and open a bar code application, such as Microsoft® WordPad. Alt Fn Power Shift Backlight Scan Esc Ctrl Caps Space

30 Falcon® 4400 Series with Windows® CE Figure 18. Scanning a Bar Code 2. Aim the scan window at the bar code following the guidelines outlined in Figure 19. 3. Press on the keypad (26, 52 or 52-key NU) or the Scan Trigger on the handle. The laser scans as long as you hold the button or trigger, or for 10 seconds, or until a good scan is obtained. 4. Aim the laser beam at the center of the bar code. • Position the unit close to bar code when scanning small bar codes. • Position it at a distance when scanning larger bar codes. • The laser is disabled after you release the key or after 10 seconds, or once a good scan is obtained. Figure 19. Laser Beam Positions Press on the keypad (26, 52 or 52-key NU) or the Scan Trigger to initiate a scan with the Falcon. Correct Scanning Positions Incorrect Scanning Positions Ideal positioning A bit high, will read correctly A bit angled, will read correctly Positioned too far to the right. Will not read entire bar code. Too angled; cannot read the entire bar code. Bar code will not read. The scanner should be posi- tioned perpendicular to the bar code bars.

Quick Reference Guide 31 5. The device beeps and the green LED indicator comes on until the trig- ger is released. The green LED and the beep tone indicate a good read. 6. The bar code data is entered in the current application. 7. Once a bar code is read successfully, the scanner turns off automatically. Refer to the section on Scanner Configuration in the PRG to modify the default settings. Bar Code Scanning with 2D Imager Scanning bar codes with the 2D imaging device is similar to scanning with a laser scanner. The operation and configuration of the scanner is performed in the same way as laser scanning devices. Trigger behavior and scanning time- outs are the same as laser scanning devices. Scanning Differences Scanning Aimer The imager contains an aiming beam rather than a red laser. The aiming beam mimics a laser line for purposes of orienting the imager to a bar code. Figure 20 shows how the aiming beam visually differs from the laser beam in laser scanning devices. Figure 20. Laser vs. Imaging beam Note that the aiming beam for the imager is green, rather than red. If the bar code scan failed, adjust the reading angle or distance. Make sure that the laser beam scans across all bars of the bar code. Refer to Figure 19. Laser Aiming Beam

Orientation Rotational orientation does not affect the imager module's ability to read bar codes. For example, the imager can read a bar code when the aimer beam is parallel to the lines of the bar code. What is important is the location of the aimer in relation to the center of the bar code. The aiming beam should be centered over the bar code, but it can be positioned in any direction for a good read. Figure 21. Aiming Beam Positioning The aiming beam is smaller when the imager is closer to the code and larger when it is farther away. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read closer to the unit. Symbologies with larger bars or elements (mil size) should be read farther from the unit. To scan a label, hold the imager at an appropriate distance from the target, pull the trigger, and center the aim- ing beam on the symbol. Scanning Illumination Another feature that can be enabled for 2D scanning is an array of illumina- tion LEDs. These LEDs provide illumination in dark environments and can improve scanning performance under certain lighting conditions. By default, the illumination LEDs are turned on. Illumination LEDs can be disabled using the PDT parameters. See the PRG for complete information on pro- gramming the LEDs. Image Capture The 2D imager can be used for capturing, manipulating, and transferring images. You can set options for image capture in the Imaging Control Panel. Various image formats can be selected, including TIFF, JPEG and BMP. You can also Linear bar codes 2D Matrix symbol

33 scale, rotate, and modify image quality settings. See the PRG for detailed infor- mation on using the Falcon 2D for image capture. Flash Memory In addition to the RAM-based storage standard on Windows CE terminals, the Falcon is also equipped with Datalight FlashFX Flash-based application and file storage area. Refer to the PRG for more information. Saving to Flash To save an application or data to the Flash Memory, from your current appli- cation, select File > Save As > navigate to the FlashFX Disk location as described below. Flash FX Location To access the contents of Flash Memory: 1. Double-tap the My Device icon on the desktop. 2. Double-tap the FlashFX Disk icon to view the FlashFX Disk. The FlashFX storage memory persists across all reset (warm/cold reboot) condi- tions and software / firmware updates. Because of this, PSC very strongly recommends installing all applications, applets, programs, and important data files to the FlashFX disk of the Falcon. If an application or a data file is only installed or saved in RAM, a hard reset will result in the loss of that application or data file.

Figure 22. Location of the FlashFX Disk FlashFX Disk Size The size of the FlashFX disk will vary, depending upon several factors, such as the size and number of currently running applications and the amount of memory currently consumed by the OS. To view the current size of Flash Memory: 1. Double-tap the My Device icon on the desktop. (See Figure 22). Figure 23. Size of FlashFX Disk B A

36 Falcon® 4400 Series with Windows® CE Resetting the Falcon There are two reset methods for the Falcon. • A warm reset terminates a “hung” application, and clears the working RAM, but preserves the file system. • A cold reset forces all applications to close and clears working RAM and files not resident on the FlashFX Disk. Warm Reset A warm reset is a transition from the on or idle condition that closes all appli- cations, clears the working RAM, but preserves the file system. If an application “hangs,” initiate a warm reset to terminate the application. Procedure to Warm Reset The reset procedure varies, depending upon the keypad on your Falcon. The first two keys of the sequence can be pressed in any order, but the unit will not reset until they both are held down and then the third key (, or ) is pressed. All three keys must be held down for the unit to reset. Refer to Figure 25 on page 37 for the location of the reset keys. 26-Key Falcon. Press and hold: ++. 48-Key Falcon. Press and hold: ++. 52-Key Falcon. Press and hold: ++. 52-Key NU Falcon. Press and hold: ++. CAUTION PSC recommends that you always attempt a warm reset before initiating a cold reset. Once you initiate a cold reset, all applications are forcibly closed and work- ing RAM and files are cleared. It is a good idea to store important data in FlashFX storage for this reason. Refer to Flash Memory on page33 for more information on Flash Memory. DO NOT use a sharp object on the reset button. Sharp objects can puncture the keypad, disabling the reset function, rupturing the Falcon’s industrial seal, and voiding your warranty.

To perform a cold reset, insert a paper clip into the cold button while pressing the button (refer to Figure 26). Figure 26. Cold Reset After Cold Reset When a Falcon goes through the cold reset sequence, it clears the working RAM and initializes the file system. You will lose any applications and data which are not stored in persistent flash memory (refer to Flash Memory start- ing on page 33). CAUTION PSC recommends that you always attempt a warm reset before initiating a cold reset. Once you initiate a cold reset, all applications are forcibly closed and work- ing RAM and files are cleared. Any applications, files, or data in RAM will be lost if you cold reset. Only the appli- cations and the files in the FlashFX Disk are preserved upon a cold reset. Refer to Flash Memory on page33 for more information on preserving applications and files with the persistent FlashFX storage memory. Do not use a sharp object on the cold reset button as this can puncture the key- pad, disabling the reset function, rupturing the Falcon industrial seal, and voiding your warranty.
