Data Capture
Data Capture
This section provides information for capturing barcode data using various scanning options. The device supports data capture using: · Integrated SE4770-Standard Range Imager · Integrated Camera · Hands-free and Bluetooth ring scanners such as RS6000 and RS5100 · Bluetooth barcode scanners such as DS3678 · RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) while using the WS50 RFID
Imaging
The device with an integrated 2D imager has the following features: · Omnidirectional reading of a variety of barcode symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal,
PDF417, Digimarc, and 2D matrix code types. · The ability to capture and download images to a host for a variety of imaging applications. · Advanced intuitive laser aiming cross-hair and dot aiming for easy point-and-shoot operation. The imager uses imaging technology to take a picture of a barcode, stores the resulting image in memory, and executes state-of-the-art software decoding algorithms to extract the barcode data from the image.
Operational Modes
The device with an integrated imager supports three modes of operation. Activate each mode by pressing Scan. · Decode mode -- The device attempts to locate and decode enabled barcodes within its field of view.
The imager remains in this mode as long as you hold the scan button, or until it decodes a barcode. · Picklist mode -- Selectively decode a barcode when more than one barcode is in the device's field of
view by moving the aiming crosshair or dot over the required barcode. Use this feature for pick lists containing multiple barcodes and manufacturing or transport labels containing more than one barcode type (either 1D or 2D).

Data Capture
Scanning Considerations
Typically, scanning is a simple matter of aim, scan, and decode, with a few quick trial efforts to master it. However, consider the following to optimize scanning performance: · Range -- Scanners decode optimally over a particular working range -- minimum and maximum
distances from the barcode. This range varies according to barcode density and scanning device optics. Scan within range for quick and constant decodes; scanning too close or too far away prevents decodes. Move the scanner closer and further away to find the right working range for the barcodes being scanned. · Angle -- Scanning angle is important for quick decodes. When the illumination/flash reflects directly back into the imager, the specular reflection can blind/saturate the imager. To avoid this, scan the barcode so that the beam does not bounce directly back. Do not scan at too sharp an angle; the scanner needs to collect scattered reflections from the scan to make a successful decode. Practice quickly shows what tolerances to work within. · Hold the device farther away for larger symbols. · Move the device closer for symbols with bars that are close together. NOTE: Scanning procedures depend on the app and device configuration. An app may use different scanning procedures from the one listed above.
Digital Camera

Configuring for a Proxy Server
A proxy server is a server that acts as an intermediary for requests from clients seeking resources from other servers. A client connects to the proxy server and requests some service, such as a file, connection, web page, or other resource, available from a different server. The proxy server evaluates the request according to its filtering rules. For example, it may filter traffic by IP address or protocol. If the request is validated by the filter, the proxy provides the resource by connecting to the relevant server and requesting the service on behalf of the client. It is important for enterprise customers to be able to set up secure computing environments within their companies, making proxy configuration essential. Proxy configuration acts as a security barrier ensuring that the proxy server monitors all traffic between the Internet and the intranet. This is normally an integral part of security enforcement in corporate firewalls within intranets. 1. Go to Settings. 2. Touch Network & Internet > Wi-Fi . 3.

Bluetooth
Bluetooth devices can communicate without wires, using frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) radio frequency (RF) to transmit and receive data in the 2.4 GHz Industry Scientific and Medical (ISM) band (802.15.1). Bluetooth wireless technology is specifically designed for short-range (10 m (32.8 ft)) communication and low power consumption. Devices with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information (for example, files, appointments, and tasks) with other Bluetooth enabled devices such as printers, access points, and other mobile devices.
82

Wireless
The device supports Bluetooth Low Energy. Bluetooth Low Energy is targeted at applications in the healthcare, fitness, security, and home entertainment industries. It provides reduced power consumption and cost while maintaining standard Bluetooth range.
Adaptive Frequency Hopping
Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH) is a method of avoiding fixed frequency interferers, and can be used with Bluetooth voice. All devices in the piconet (Bluetooth network) must be AFH-capable in order for AFH to work. There is no AFH when connecting and discovering devices. Avoid making Bluetooth connections and discoveries during critical 802.11b communications.
AFH for Bluetooth consists of four main sections:
· Channel Classification - A method of detecting an interference on a channel-by-channel basis, or predefined channel mask.
· Link Management - Coordinates and distributes the AFH information to the rest of the Bluetooth network.
· Hop Sequence Modification - Avoids interference by selectively reducing the number of hopping channels.
· Channel Maintenance - A method for periodically re-evaluating the channels.
When AFH is enabled, the Bluetooth radio "hops around" (instead of through) the 802.11b high-rate channels. AFH coexistence allows enterprise devices to operate in any infrastructure.
The Bluetooth radio in this device operates as a Class 1 device power class. The maximum output power is 4.5 mW and the expected range is 20 m (65.5 ft). A definition of ranges based on power class is difficult to obtain due to power and device differences, and whether in open space or closed office space.
NOTE: It is not recommended to perform Bluetooth wireless technology inquiry when high rate 802.11b operation is required.
Security
The current Bluetooth specification defines security at the link level. Application-level security is not specified. This allows application developers to define security mechanisms tailored to their specific need. Link-level security occurs between devices, not users, while application-level security can be implemented on a per-user basis. The Bluetooth specification defines security algorithms and procedures required to authenticate devices, and if needed, encrypt the data flowing on the link between the devices. Device authentication is a mandatory feature of Bluetooth while link encryption is optional.
Pairing of Bluetooth devices is accomplished by creating an initialization key used to authenticate the devices and create a link key for them. Entering a common personal identification number (PIN) in the devices being paired generates the initialization key. The PIN is never sent over the air. By default, the Bluetooth stack responds with no key when a key is requested (it is up to user to respond to the key request event). Authentication of Bluetooth devices is based-upon a challenge-response transaction. Bluetooth allows for a PIN or passkey used to create other 128-bit keys used for security and encryption. The encryption key is derived from the link key used to authenticate the pairing devices. Also worthy of note is the limited range and fast frequency hopping of the Bluetooth radios that makes long-distance eavesdropping difficult.
Recommendations are:
· Perform pairing in a secure environment
· Keep PIN codes private and do not store the PIN codes in the device
83

Wireless

· Implement application-level security.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Best Practices for Enterprise Mobile Computing Devices Operating in Hot Environments and Direct Sunlight
Exceeding the operating temperature by external hot environments will cause the device's thermal sensor to notify the user of a shutdown of the WAN modem or shutdown the device until the device's temperature returns to the operational temperature range. · Avoid direct sunlight to the device - The easiest way to prevent overheating is to keep the device out of
direct sunlight. The device absorbs light and heat from the sun and retains it, getting hotter the longer it remains in sunlight and heat. · Avoid leaving the device in a vehicle on a hot day or hot surface - Similar to leaving the device out in direct sunlight, the device will also absorb the thermal energy from a hot surface or when left on the dashboard of a vehicle or seat, getting warmer the longer it remains on the hot surface or inside the hot vehicle. · Turn off unused apps on the device. Open, unused apps running in the background can cause the device to work harder, which in turn may cause it to heat up. This will also improve your mobile computer device's battery life performance. · Avoid turning your screen brightness up - Just the same as running background apps, turning your brightness up will force your battery to work harder and create more heat. Minimizing your screen brightness may extend operating the mobile computer device in hot environments.

152

Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Housing
Thoroughly wipe the housing, including all buttons and triggers, using an approved alcohol wipe.
Display
The display can be wiped down with an approved alcohol wipe, but care should be taken not to allow any pooling of liquid around the edges of the display. Immediately dry the display with a soft, non-abrasive cloth to prevent streaking.
Camera and Exit Window
Wipe the camera and exit window periodically with lens tissue or other material suitable for cleaning optical material such as eyeglasses.
Cleaning Battery Connectors
1. Remove the main battery from the mobile computer. 2. Dip the cotton portion of the cotton-tipped applicator in isopropyl alcohol. 3. To remove any grease or dirt, rub the cotton portion of the cotton-tipped applicator back and forth
across the connectors on the battery and terminal sides. Do not leave any cotton residue on the connectors. 4. Repeat at least three times. 5. Use a dry cotton-tipped applicator and repeat steps 3 and 4. Do not leave any cotton residue on the connectors. 6. Inspect the area for any grease or dirt and repeat the cleaning process if necessary.
CAUTION: After cleaning the battery connectors with bleach-based chemicals, follow the Battery Connector Cleaning instructions to remove bleach from the connectors.
Cleaning Cradle Connectors
1. Remove the DC power cable from the cradle. 2. Dip the cotton portion of the cotton-tipped applicator in isopropyl alcohol. 3. Rub the cotton portion of the cotton-tipped applicator along the pins of the connector. Slowly move the
applicator back and forth from one side of the connector to the other. Do not leave any cotton residue on the connector. 4. All sides of the connector should also be rubbed with the cotton-tipped applicator. 5. Remove any lint left by the cotton-tipped applicator. 6. If grease and other dirt can be found on other areas of the cradle, use a lint-free cloth and alcohol to remove. 7. Allow at least 10 to 30 minutes (depending on ambient temperature and humidity) for the alcohol to air dry before applying power to cradle. If the temperature is low and humidity is high, longer drying time is required. Warm temperature and low humidity requires less drying time.
