Thanks to one of the best ergonomics ever seen on the market, Datalogic Skorpio reduces operator fatigue with no compromise in terms of reliability and robustness, resisting harsh environments, multiple drops, strong shocks and repetitive tumbles. Datalogic Skorpio offers the unique feature of integrated data capture technology combined with green spot feedback (Datalogic patent), providing a good read green dot directly on the code, where the operator usually tends to be looking. Datalogic Skorpio system architecture is based on the Intel X-Scale PXA-270 series processors coupled with the Windows CE 5.0 operating system. It is ready to satisfy the most demanding customer needs (i.e. expandable memory thanks to the Mini Secure Digital standard slot). Its wireless communication capabilities (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi) enable fast transactions and complete interaction with the information system, as well as wearable peripherals, while its long lasting Li-ION batteries grant full shift coverage in terms of autonomy. Furthermore, its large high visibility color graphic display with touch screen helps users work more efficiently, while the practical 38-key alpha & numeric keypad allows data, codes and descriptions to be input very quickly. Datalogic Skorpio is able to fulfill 100% of traditional text-based applications (i.e. terminal emulation, through the DL-TCL-NET software client) as well as the most modern Web-based solutions (i.e. exploiting Microsoft Internet Explorer through the DL Locked-Web-Browser application). Developers can create and deploy single or multiple data collection applications rapidly exploiting the MCL Collection, while IT managers can centralize the management of mobile devices revising configurations, synchronizing software and updating firmware and drivers remotely and seamlessly thanks to the Wavelink Avalanche software. Datalogic Skorpio offers retailers the best mobile commerce solution to gain the greatest benefit in the least time for those selling and serving on the move!

USE AND FUNCTIONING 3 3.6 DATA CAPTURE CONFIGURATION From the Taskbar, tap the "Data Capture" icon to open a dropdown menu. Data Capture can also be accessed from the Control Panel. By selecting the Info item from this drop-down menu you can access information about the Scanner and the Software; the Configure item opens the configuration applet (Data Capture Configuration Window), while Capture accesses the data capture applet (Data Capture Window), which enables code reading. The last menu item (Wedge) enables Wedge Emulation. 3.6.1 Configure The Configuration applet contains the barcode scanning configuration parameters in a directory tree structure. The available barcode parameters are divided into two groups: Reader Parameters and Scan Parameters. The Reader Parameters depend on the type of scanner module installed on the mobile computer and allow barcode configuration (i.e. enable/disable Code 39, check digit control, etc.). The Scan Parameters are common to all scanner modules and allow control of the scanning device (i.e. LED control, laser timeout, etc.). Each Data Capture screen window corresponds to a branch of the tree, and the name of the current branch is displayed at the bottom of each screen window. 21 3 DATALOGIC SKORPIO Data Capture Configuration Window The screen format shows two columns where the left column indicates branches or parameters. Branches have three dots in the right column (...). You can navigate through the tree structure using the stylus or keyboard arrows directly on the item field or from the menu. Parameters have their corresponding current values in the right column. You can edit parameter values using the stylus or keyboard arrows directly on the item field or from the menu. To change a value for example, select the line of the value to be changed, choose Edit from the Parameter Menu then choose a new value from the values listed in the box (see following figures). Selecting Data Capture Setup Parameters Alternatively using the stylus, you can tap once directly on the value on the right column; continue tapping until the desired value is reached. To activate a new configuration select the File ->Save Menu to send the new configuration to the barcode decoding software and save the new configuration. This will save the configuration to non-volatile memory preventing loss at the next system reset. 22 USE AND FUNCTIONING 3 Reader Parameters The barcode reading parameters and values are dependent upon the type of scanner module mounted in your mobile computer. For a detailed list of parameters and of their configuration procedures, please refer to the SDK Help file on the CD. Scan Parameters The Scan Parameters are common to all scanner modules and allow control of the scanning device. The Scan parameters are described as follows:

ScanTimeout: the maximum time, in milliseconds, during which the scanner remains on without decoding any barcode. GoodReadSound: is the filename of a wav file played when the scanner reads a code. LedDuration: the length of the good-read led pulse, in milliseconds. LedPulses: the number of times the good-read led pulse is emitted when the scanner reads a code. Green Spot Duration: determines the duration (measured in milliseconds) of the green spot feedback, which provides a good read green dot directly on the code, where the operator usually tends to be looking. ContinuousMode: disables the effect of the ScanTimeout parameter. KeyboardEmulation: if enabled all scanned data are transformed into keyboard events and can therefore be displayed and saved to a file as if input from the mobile computer keyboard. SoftTrigger: when enabled, the laser can be turned on/off by the application software. ScanAlwaysOn: enables the scanner for barcode reading independently from the application software. NotPrintableChar: if set to "Remove", all not printable characters included in the scanned data are deleted and the final barcode will include only printable characters. 23 3 DATALOGIC SKORPIO Default Settings The following tables contain the default values for the major barcode setup parameters, according to the type of scan engine mounted on the mobile computer.

Saving the registry to non-volatile memory guarantees the persistence of the Windows configuration in case of battery pack replacement. Registry Administration Window 27 3 DATALOGIC SKORPIO Files Admin 3.7.3 The FILES ADMIN applet enables control of the permanence of files in the System Folder. Two functions are available on the Files Admin Main window by means of two buttons:

Files Admin Main Window Save Session: with this button all files will be permanently saved in the \Windows directory in non-volatile memory. This function guarantees the steady maintenance of every file produced during the current working session - even of sub-directories and relevant files - with the exception of the files belonging to the FLASH image. These current working session files will be backed-up in the \Backup\Windows directory. At the next hardware reset, the files previously saved in the \Backup\Windows directory will be restored to the Windows directory (see par. 3.9). Safe Setup: with this button, the installation of software programs will be saved to non-volatile memory (Backup directory). Before doing this, it will be checked that the Backup directory has enough space to save the files. If the directory space is not enough, an error message will be shown and the program will exit the Safe Setup function. Two activating procedures are available for Safe Setup:

-

Select an installation file (for example, a .CAB cabinet file) from the Safe Setup mask. 28 USE AND FUNCTIONING 3 Safe Setup First Mask Then select \Windows or a relevant sub-directory in the path box. Then, Safe Setup will recognize the new files and directories present in the \Windows directory, and will copy them to the \Backup\Windows directory. At the next hardware reset, these files will be restored (see par. 3.9). Simply skip the first mask either by closing it or by pressing the ESC key. When it closes, a new mask will pop up: it will enable any type of installation (even remote ones like ActiveSync installations). Make sure the installation directory is \Windows or one of its sub-directories. After installation, tap OK: Safe Setup will save the new files in the \Backup\Windows directory.

FTP Server Setup 3.8.4 The Datalogic Skorpio Operating System includes a sample File Transfer Protocol

(FTP) server. FTP is used for copying files to and from remote computer systems over a network using TCP/IP. You can establish a connection to your Datalogic Skorpio using its FTP Server through the following interfaces:

WLAN using the WiFi radio LAN through the Datalogic Skorpio Ethernet Multi Cradle (see par. 3.7.5) Proceed as follows:

1. Create a registry file (extension .reg) to setup and enable FTP Server communication. A simple example file for anonymous logon is given below:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\FTPD]

"DefaultDir"="\\"

"AllowAnonymousUpload"=dword:00000001

"UseAuthentication"=dword:00000000

"BaseDir"="\\"

"IsEnabled"=dword:00000001

"LogSize"=dword:00001000

"DebugOutputMask"=dword:00000017

"DebugOutputChannels"=dword:00000002

"IdleTimeout"=dword:0000012c

"AllowAnonymous"=dword:00000001

"AllowAnonymousVroots"=dword:00000001 2. Copy this file to the Datalogic Skorpio using ActiveSync or the RS232 protocol (par. 3.8.2). 39 3 DATALOGIC SKORPIO 3. Launch the .reg file from the Datalogic Skorpio. 4. Perform a software reset on the Datalogic Skorpio. 5. From the PC > Explorer address bar (or running an FTP Client from the PC), enter the Datalogic Skorpio IP address. For more information on FTP Client/Server connections refer to the following web page:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa922316.aspx. NOTE Datalogic Skorpio xxx-xxx-433 and xxx-xxx-436 models do not contain the FTP Server. If necessary you can install it from the CD-

ROM in the Utilities folder. NOTE 3.9 BACKUP DIRECTORY FILE MANAGEMENT All of the Windows CE system files reside in RAM (volatile memory) except for the Backup directory, which resides in FLASH (non-volatile memory). Therefore the contents of the Backup directory are persistent even if the mobile computer is re-

booted or the battery pack is changed. You can save your more important files that you don't want to lose due to mobile computer re-boot, in the Backup directory or create a sub-directory within Backup. Even though the Windows Directory resides in RAM, it often contains files or sub-

directories created by the user or by installation programs that you don't want to lose at re-boot. To keep these files persistent it is necessary to copy them to the directory

\Backup\Windows. This directory doesn't exist originally (only Backup exists), and therefore it must be created. At the next hardware reset, before activating the shell, Windows CE will copy the contents including all sub-directories of \Backup\Windows to \Windows. Likewise, to maintain files that must be run at Windows CE startup, (i.e. exe, .lnk,

.vb, .htm, etc.), it is necessary to copy them to the directory \Backup\Startup. This directory does not exist originally (only Backup exists), and therefore it must be created. The application programs will be run after any type of re-boot (both software and hardware reset). 40 USE AND FUNCTIONING 3 As an alternative to the Safe Setup function, it is possible to copy the .cab files to the directory \Backup\Cabfiles (the Cabfiles sub-directory doesn't exists originally and must therefore be created) and perform a mobile computer cold boot to have the application installed. Once these files are copied to the directory \Backup\Cabfiles, the application will be run after each re-boot. From the second cold boot on, a message may be displayed such as "<application name> is already installed. Re-install?". This message blocks the boot process. Press the [Enter] key to continue the system initialization. 41 4 4 MAINTENANCE DATALOGIC SKORPIO Rechargeable battery packs are not initially charged. Therefore the first operation to perform is to charge them. See below. NOTE 4.1 CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK The battery pack autonomy varies according to factors, such as the frequency of barcode scanning, RF usage, etc. When the battery pack is low, the LED positioned at the right side of the display blinks red. It is possible to recharge the battery pack by using the PG5-20 MiniUSB AC/DC Power Supply directly connected to the Datalogic Skorpio. Alternatively, it is also possible to recharge the battery pack by using the Datalogic Skorpio Single USB Cradle or one of the Datalogic Skorpio/F-COLOR cradles (even when not connected to the host). During the charging process the LED positioned at the right side of the display is red constant. Once the charging process has been completed this LED is green constant

(see par. 3.5). If the battery pack is removed from the mobile computer, it can be recharged by inserting it into the MBC8600 Multi-Battery Charger. If the battery pack is new or has not been recharged for a long time, it is necessary to perform two or three charging and discharging cycles (complete use) before it can reach its maximum charge capability. The maximum time required to recharge a completely run-down battery pack is 4 hours if recharged into the mobile computer. CAUTION 42 MAINTENANCE 4 4.2 REPLACING THE BATTERY PACK To correctly replace the battery pack, proceed as follows. 1. Turn off the Datalogic Skorpio. 2. Turn the battery lock screw to the open position (horizontal), then pull the lock runner up, as indicated in the figure below. 3. Remove the battery pack. Battery Contacts 43 4 DATALOGIC SKORPIO 4. To correctly insert the new battery pack, first insert the bottom and then the upper part of the battery pack into the slot as indicated in the following figure:

5. Press it until the battery latch is automatically closed. WARNING Do not incinerate, disassemble, short terminals or expose to high temperature. Risk of fire, explosion. Use specified charger only. Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of the batteries as required by the relevant laws in force. In order to guarantee an adequate operating autonomy, when replacing the battery pack the mobile computer checks the battery energy level. If the battery is not sufficiently charged, Datalogic Skorpio does not turn on (when pressing the ON button). In this case, either substitute the battery pack with a charged one

(sufficiently charged) or insert Datalogic Skorpio into a powered cradle or plug it into the direct power supply. Due to a large internal capacitor, Datalogic Skorpio can remain on for about two minutes with no loss of data in the volatile memory, for example when replacing the battery pack. NOTE NOTE 44 MAINTENANCE 4 4.3 COMPACT FLASH AND SECURE STORAGE CARDS The Datalogic Skorpio supports both Compact Flash and Mini Secure Digital storage cards. The Mini Secure Digital storage card slot accepts storage cards only, while the Compact Flash card slot accepts either a storage card or a 802.11b/g radio card. To install a Compact Flash, it is recommended to contact a Datalogic representative for technical assistance since to access the card slot it is necessary to open the mobile computer by removing its screws and causes warranty loss, while the Mini Secure Digital storage card can be installed by removing the battery, without opening the mobile computer. Opening components. the Datalogic Skorpio may damage internal CAUTION 4.4 CLEANING THE MOBILE COMPUTER Periodically clean the Datalogic Skorpio with a slightly dampened cloth. Do not use alcohol, corrosive products or solvents. 45 5 DATALOGIC SKORPIO 5 TECHNICAL FEATURES 5.1 TECHNICAL DATA DC supply Battery pack Electrical Features Power Communication Features Bluetooth interface Serial interface Wireless Features WLAN WPAN Hardware Features FLASH RAM Microprocessor Audio LED Display 5.25 V 6%

Interleaved 2/5 Code 128 EAN 13 EAN 8 50 interoperable GLOSSARY Access Point A device that provides transparent access between Ethernet wired networks and IEEE 802.11 radio-equipped mobile units. Hand-held mobile computers, PDAs or other devices equipped with radio cards, communicate with wired networks using Access Points (AP). The mobile unit (mobile computer) may roam among the APs in the same subnet while maintaining a continuous, seamless connection to the wired network. Barcode A pattern of variable-width bars and spaces which represents numeric or alphanumeric data in binary form. The general format of a barcode symbol consists of a leading margin, start character, data or message character, check character (if any), stop character, and trailing margin. Within this framework, each recognizable symbology uses its own unique format. Baud Rate A measure for data transmission speed. Bit Binary digit. One bit is the basic unit of binary information. Generally, eight consecutive bits compose one byte of data. The pattern of 0 and 1 values within the byte determines its meaning. Bluetooth A standard radio technology using a proprietary protocol. The onboard Bluetooth module in the mobile computer is compatible with the 1.2 protocol. Byte On an addressable boundary, eight adjacent binary digits (0 and 1) combined in a pattern to represent a specific character or numeric value. Bits are numbered from the right, 0 through 7, with bit 0 the low-order bit. One byte in memory can be used to store one ASCII character. Decode To recognize a bar code symbology (e.g., Codabar, Code 128, Code 3 of 9, UPC/EAN, etc.) and analyze the content of the bar code scanned. EEPROM Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory. An on-board non-volatile memory chip. 51 Flash Disk Non-volatile memory for storing application and configuration files. Host A computer that serves other mobile computers in a network, providing services such as network control, database access, special programs, supervisory programs, or programming languages. Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) A display that uses liquid crystal sealed between two glass plates. The crystals are excited by precise electrical charges, causing them to reflect light outside according to their bias. They use little electricity and react relatively quickly. They require external light to reflect their information to the user. Light Emitting Diode (LED) A low power electronic light source commonly used as an indicator light. It uses less power than an incandescent light bulb but more than a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). RAM Random Access Memory. Data in RAM can be accessed in random order, and quickly written and read.
