IntroductionChapter —16 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s ManualIf your computer shuts down because of low battery conditions, your com-puter does not operate. This is done to ensure that data is protected. Al-though the battery does protect the data against loss for several hours, youshould connect your computer to a power source when you first detect alow battery condition.Your computer contains an internal super capacitor, a temporary powerstorage device, that protects data for up to ten minutes. This is to give youtime to replace the main battery pack before that data is lost. Be sure to putthe computer in a suspend mode before doing so.If you have at least one device in your 700 Series Computer (radio, scan-ner, imager, or Ethernet), the battery power fail level is set so that after thesystem shuts down in a low battery condition, there is still sufficient chargeto allow the unit to remain configured, keep proper time, and maintainDRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) for at least 23 to 32 hours atroom temperature if the main battery remains in the mobile computer.The configuration and time are lost if:SThe battery discharges beyond this level.SThe battery is removed when the computer is not in suspend mode.SA cold reset is performed on the computer.You can modify RAM maintenance in a limited way. On the 700 ColorComputer, tap Start >Settings >theSystem tab>thePower icon > theBattery tab. Drag the slider bar to the right to change the suspend voltageto favor suspend time over rundown time, then click ok to exit.

Windows Mobile 2003Chapter —272 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s ManualSynchronizing NotesNotes can be synchronized between your desktop and device eitherthrough notes synchronization or file synchronization. Notes synchroniza-tion synchronizes the notes on your 700 Color Computer with OutlookNotes on your desktop. File synchronization synchronizes all notes onyour 700 Color Computer with the My Documents folder for the 700Color Computer on your desktop.To synchronize your notes through notes synchronization, first select theNotes information type for synchronization in ActiveSync. The next timeyou synchronize, all notes in My Documents and its subfolder on yourdevice appear in Outlook Notes on your desktop. Notes that contain onlytext appear as regular notes in Outlook on your desktop, while notes con-taining written text or drawings appear in the device format. In addition,all notes in the Notes group in Outlook on the desktop appear in Notes onthe device.To synchronize your notes as files, in ActiveSync, select the Files informa-tion type for synchronization and clear the Notes information type. Whenyou select Files, the My Documents folder for the 700 Color Computer iscreated on your desktop.

Windows Mobile 2003—Chapter 273700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s ManualInbox: Sending and Receiving E-mail MessagesTo switch to Inbox on your 700 Color Computer, tap Start >Inbox.You can receive Internet e-mail messages and SMS messages in Inbox. In-ternet e-mail messages are sent by using an address you receive from yourInternet service provider (ISP) or your employer. SMS messages are sentand received through your wireless phone service provider by using aphone number as the message address.You can send and receive e-mail by synchronizing with your desktop, orby connecting to a Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3) or Internet Message Ac-cess Protocol 4 (IMAP4) mail server. You need to set up an e-mail accountfor each method that you use except for Microsoft ActiveSync, which is setup by default. The ActiveSync folder on your 700 Color Computer storesmessages that you send and receive through synchronization with a desk-top. Account names appear as folders in the folder list (located on the left,under the navigation bar) in the Inbox message list.With synchronization, messages are synchronized between the device In-box and the PC Inbox by using ActiveSync and Microsoft Exchange orMicrosoft Outlook. For more information, see “Synchronizing E-mail Mes-sages”below.When connecting to a POP3 or IMAP4 server, you use a modem to con-nect to your Internet service provider (ISP), or a modem or Ethernet cardto connect to the local area network to which your e-mail server is connec-ted. You can also use your phone to connect by using a cellular line con-nection. For more information, see “Connecting to a Mail Server”onpage75.Synchronizing E-mail MessagesAfter selecting Inbox for synchronization in ActiveSync, e-mail messagesare synchronized as part of the general synchronization process. Duringsynchronization:SMessages are copied from the Inbox folder on your desktop or theMicrosoft Exchange server to the Inbox folder on your 700 Color Com-puter. (Note that you can only synchronize information directly with anExchange Server if your company is running Microsoft Mobile Infor-mation Server 2002 or later.) By default, you receive messages from thelast three days only, the first 100 lines of each new message, and file at-tachments of less than 100 KB in size.SMessages in the Outbox folder on your device are transferred to Ex-change or Outlook and then sent from those programs.SThe messages on the two computers are linked. When you delete a mes-sage on your 700 Color Computer, it is deleted from your desktop thenext time you synchronize.SMessages in subfolders in other e-mail folders in Outlook are synchro-nized only if they were selected for synchronization in ActiveSync.For information on initiating Inbox synchronization or changing synchro-nization settings, see ActiveSync Help on your desktop or select Start >Help >Connections to see Connections Help.
Windows Mobile 2003Chapter —274 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s ManualManaging E-mail Messages and FoldersEach e-mail account and SMS account has its own folder hierarchy withfive default folders: Inbox, Outbox, Deleted Items, Drafts, and Sent Items.The messages you receive and send through the mail account are stored inthese folders. You can also create additional folders within each hierarchy.The Deleted Items folder contains messages that were deleted on the de-vice. The behavior of the Deleted Items and Sent Items folders depends onthe Inbox options you have chosen.The behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you are usingActiveSync, SMS, POP3, or IMAP4.SIf you use ActiveSync,e-mail messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook automatically synchro-nize with your device. You can select to synchronize additional foldersby designating them for ActiveSync. The folders you create and themessages you move are then mirrored on the server. For example, if youmove two messages from the Inbox folder to a folder named Family,and you have designated Family for synchronization, the server creates acopy of the Family folder and copies the messages into that folder. Youcan then read the messages while away from your desktop.SIf you use SMS,messages are stored in the Inbox folder.SIf you use POP3and you move e-mail messages to a folder you created, the link is brokenbetween the messages on the device and their copies on the mail server.The next time you connect, the mail server sees that the messages aremissing from the device Inbox and deletes them from the server. Thisprevents you from having duplicate copies of a message, but it alsomeans that you no longer have access to messages that you move to fold-ers created from anywhere except the 700 Color Computer.SIf you use IMAP4,the folders you create and the e-mail messages you move are mirroredon the server. Therefore, messages are available to you anytime you con-nect to your mail server, whether it is from your 700 Color Computeror desktop. This synchronization of folders occurs whenever you con-nect to your mail server, create new folders, or rename or delete folderswhen connected.For all accounts except ActiveSync, you can access folder options by tap-ping Tools >Manage Folders.
Windows Mobile 2003—Chapter 275700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s ManualConnecting to a Mail ServerIn addition to synchronizing e-mail messages with your desktop, you cansend and receive e-mail messages by connecting to an e-mail server using amodem or network card connected to your 700 Color Computer.

Installing ApplicationsChapter —3118 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s ManualPackaging an ApplicationUse any of these methods to package an application for installation:SFor very simple applications, the application itself might be the only filethat needs to be delivered.SIt could be a directory structure that contains the application, support-ing files like ActiveX controls, DLLs, images, sound files, and data files.SOr, you could package an application via a CAB file.Consider any of the following when choosing a location into which tostore your application:SIn the basic 700 Color Computer, there are two built-in storage op-tions: the Object Store and the Persistent Storage Manager (PSM). TheObject Store is RAM that looks like a disk. Anything copied here is de-leted when a cold-boot is performed on the 700 Color Computer. ThePSM is an area of storage which is embedded in a section of the system’sFLASH memory. This storage area is not erased during a cold-boot. Itmay, however, be erased during the reflashing process. In addition tostoring applications and data files, you do have the option to store a per-sistent registry to the PSM region.SIf the optional Secure Digital or CompactFlash storage card is in thesystem, then consider this card the primary location for placing an ap-plications install files. The following folders represent either card:SThe Secure Digital storage card creates the “\SDMMC Disk” folder.SThe CompactFlash storage card creates the “\Storage Card” folder.Note: The 730 Mobile Computer does not support the CompactFlash storage card.SUse the small non-volatile Flash File Store region to hold CAB files thatrebuild the system at cold-boot or install applications from a CAB fileinto the Flash File Store so they are ”ready-to-run” when a cold-boot isperformed. Since the FLASH in the system has a limited number ofwrite cycles, do not use the Flash File Store for excessive writing pur-poses; however, reading is okay.Files copied to any of these locations are safe when a cold-boot isperformed on a 700 Color Computer — providing the AutoRun system isinstalled in the appropriate location You can find this system in the 700Color Management Tools portion of the Intermec Developer’s Library CD.Copying a CAB file to the “\CABFILES” folder on one of these cardsautomatically extracts that CAB file on every cold-boot to ensure that yoursystem is properly set up (see page 124).
Installing Applications—Chapter 3119700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s ManualInstalling ApplicationsConsider any of the following options to get the package to the preferredlocation on your 700 Series Computer.SMicrosoft ActiveSyncSFTP Server (page 120)SSecure Digital or CompactFlash storage cards (page 120)Using Microsoft ActiveSyncNote: These instructions assume the 700 Color Management Tools por-tion of the Intermec Developer’s Library CD was installed on your desktop.The Microsoft ActiveSync tool is located on the 700 Color Companion CD.See Chapter 2, “Windows Mobile 2003,” for information about this tool asprovided by Microsoft Corporation.This can be a serial, USB, Ethernet, InfraRed, or 802.11b ActiveSync con-nection. Files can be copied using File Explorer on a desktop or a laptopcomputer. This is usually good when updating few 700 Color Computers.Note: The 730 Computer does not support Ethernet.These instructions assume that Microsoft ActiveSync was installed ontoyourdesktopandisupandrunning.Ifnot,gotoChapter2,“WindowsMobile 2003,” for an URL from which to download the latest application.1Connect your 700 Color Computer to your desktop computer via anActiveSync cable or IrDA.2Wait for a “Connected” message to appear in the Microsoft ActiveSyncapplication to signal a connection to the 700 Series Computer.

Installing ApplicationsChapter —3124 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s ManualMigrating from a 700 Monochrome ComputerAs you migrate from a 700 Monochrome Computer to a 700 Color Com-puter, you need to consider the following: When converting a 700 Mono-chrome Computer application to run on the 700 Color Computer, mostAPIs should work without changes. Below are a few exceptions:SThe 700 Monochrome Computer uses the “\Storage Card” folder fornonvolatile storage. You may need to change the application to storedata onto the “SDMMC Disk” folder instead of the “\Storage Card”folder if a Secure Digital storage card is present in the system.SIf the application uses the RegFlushKey() API, it must first verify thatthe proper media is available in the system and call the special API men-tioned in Step 7 on the previous page.SIf the application is using the 700 Color switchable dock, use theIOCTL_DOCK_SWITCH value from theIOCTL_HAL_ITC_WRITE_SYSPARM function to set the properport on the dock before communications. See more information aboutthis KernelIOControl function in Chapter 7, “Programming.”SSome WAN radio options have changed. Review the WAN radio infor-mation in Chapter 4, “Network Support,“to determine if any changes arerequired in your application.SArrow and tab keys are reversed from the 700 Monochrome Computer.Keyboard remapping is available on the 700 Color Computer shouldyou need to map these keys like that of the 700 Monochrome Comput-er (see page 121).SSpecial SDKs are not needed to compile applications for the Xscale pro-cessor. Targeting the SA1110 processor creates applications that run onthe 700 Color Computer.Cabinet File InstallationCAB files (short form of “cabinet” files) are compressed folders as defined byMicrosoft. A “cabinet” file is a single file, usually suffixed with .CAB, thatstores compressed files in a file library. A compressed file can be spreadover several cabinet files. During installation, the setup application decom-presses the files stored in a cabinet and copies them to the user’s system.For the 700 Color Computer, CAB files register DLLs, create shortcuts,modify registry entries, and run custom setup programs. Tap a CAB file toextract that file or place the CAB file on one of the approved storage de-vices in the “\CabFiles” folder, then perform a warm-boot on the 700 Col-or Computer. There are two methods available to extract a CAB file:STap a CAB file to extract it. With this method, the CAB file is automat-ically deleted when the extraction process is successful, unless the CABfile is set with the read-only attribute.SUse the AUTOCAB method to extract all files when a cold-boot is per-formed on the 700 Color Computer. This method is on the IntermecDeveloper’s Library CD,seeitsSoftware Tools User’s Manual for informa-tion.

Once you enablevoice capability, data capability, or both depending on the carrier, removethis program from the system by cold-booting your computer.Intermec Technologies does not recommend using the SB555 Watcherprogram to make data and voice calls on a daily basis for these reasons:SThe SB555 Watcher application is a third-party application unaware ofcertain power management methods used in your 760 Computer.Therefore, the application consumes more power than necessary.SThe application size consumes memory better used for your applicationdata.The process of setting up the account with your carrier and enabling theCDMA WAN radio in your 760 Computer is called activation.The CDMA radio is pre-programmed for a specific carrier, such as Sprint,Telus, Bell Mobility, Verizon, etc.). Therefore, information about yourradio should already be in your carrier’s database.You need to notify the carrier and set up mobile accounts for each unityou are activating. The Electronic Serial Number (ESN hex 63xxxxxx)that you need to supply to your carrier is located in two places:SOn the outside of the 760 Computer shipping box.SOn the inside of the 760 Computer battery compartment.The ESN comes in both decimal and hexadecimal formats. Most carriersaccept either format, but with a preference for the decimal format. Youonly need to provide one number to your carrier.SThe decimal format consists of 11 digits, beginning with “099.”SThe hexadecimal format is an 8-digit number, beginning with “63.”Accounts for Verizon and Sprint carriers can be set up for data only. Cana-dian carriers (Telus and Bell Mobility) can be set for data only, voice only,or both voice and data. This is determined by your application and theservices your carrier offers.After the all ESNs are provided to the carrier and the carrier has estab-lished the accounts, you will be provided with the lock codes and tele-phone numbers needed to complete the activation process. You use theSB555 Watcher program to accomplish this task. Be sure to write down thisinformation for future use.Note: Ensure that you receive a spreadsheet with your order that calls outall ESNs in both decimal and hexadecimal formats.

To remain compatible with other versions ofPocket PC, this setting needs to be enabled. You can configure the registrysettings in the following to set the required AutoIP/DHCP behavior:SFor Ethernet: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\LAN9001\TcpIpSFot 802.11b: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\NETWLAN1\TcpIpOther registry keys that can modify the behavior of AutoIP are as follows.You can find the appropriate settings and behavior of each of these keys inMicrosoft Help.SAutoIntervalSAutoMaskSAutoSubnetSAutoIPSAutoSeedWhen a TCP/IP client cannot find a DHCP server, it generates an AutoIPaddress from the 169.254.xxx.xxx block. The client then tries to check fora DHCP server every 300 seconds (5 minutes) and if a DHCP server isfound, the client drops the AutoIP address and uses the address from theDHCP server.In the MSDN Windows CE documentation available out on the Micro-soft Developer Network web site (http://www.msdn.com), see “AutomaticClient Configuration” for more information on AutoIP.To disable AutoIP, set the AutoCfg registry entry to “0.” If a DHCP serv-er cannot be found, instead of using AutoIP, the system will display the“Unable to obtain a server assigned IP address” message.Note: If AutoIP is defined using CAB files, the EnableDHCP registry keymust also be defined and set to “1” before the system will attempt to ob-tain a DHCP address.Note: To extend the number of attempts that a DHCP client makes to geta DHCP address, use the DhcpRetryDialogue and DhcpMaxRetry registrysettings.Note: Change the AutoInterval registry key value to make the client retrymore often to obtain a DHCP address.
Network SupportChapter —4178 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s ManualSNMP Configuration on the 700 Series ComputerIn short, SNMP is an application-layer protocol that facilitates the ex-change of management information between network devices. The 700Series Computer is such an SNMP-enabled device. Use SNMP to controland configure the 700 Series Computer anywhere on an SNMP-enablednetwork.The 700 Series Computer supports four proprietary Management Infor-mation Bases (MIBs) and Intermec Technologies provides SNMP supportfor MIB-II through seven read-only MIB-II (RFC1213-MIB) ObjectIdentifiers (OIDs).Note: You can only query these seven OIDs through an SNMP manage-ment station.Management Information BaseThe Management Information Base is a database that contains informationabout the elements to be managed. The information identifies the manage-ment element and specifies its type and access mode (Read-Only, Read-Write). MIBs are written in ASN.1 (Abstract Syntax Notation.1) — a ma-chine independent data definition language. Note: Elements to be managedare represented by objects. The MIB is a structured collection of such objects.You will find the following MIB files either in the 700 Color ManagementTools portion of the Intermec Developer’s Library CD or on the web viahttp://www.intermec.com:SINTERMEC.MIBDefines the root of the Intermec MIB tree.SITCADC.MIBDefines objects for Automated Data Collection (ADC), such as barcode symbologies.SITCSNMP.MIBDefines objects for Intermec SNMP parameters and security methods,such as an SNMP security IP address.SITCTERMINAL.MIBDefines objects for 700 Series parameters, such as key clicks.
Network Support—Chapter 4179700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s ManualObject IdentifiersEach object has a unique identifier called an OID, which consist of a se-quence of integer values represented in dot notation. Objects are stored ina tree structure and OIDs are assigned based on the position of the objectin the tree. For example, the internet OID is equal to 1.3.6.1. Seven MIBOIDs are shown in the following table:MIB Object IdentifiersMIB-II Item OID Group or Table DescriptionifNumber 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.1.0 Interfaces Group Indicates the number of adapterspresent in the system.

The default read-only commu-nity string is “public” and “private” is the default read/write communitystring. See the specific configuration parameter to find its OID. To config-ure the 700 Series Computers using SNMP:1Configure 700 Series Computers for RF or Ethernet communications.2Determine the OID (Object Identifier) for the parameter to be chan-ged. The Intermec base OID is 1.3.6.1.4.1.1963.3Use your SNMP management station to get and set variables that aredefined in the Intermec MIBs. You can set the traps, identification, orsecurity configuration parameters for SNMP. See Appendix A, “Confi-gurable Settings,” to learn more about these parameters.

The format ofthis data depends upon your application and the printer capabilities.You must understand the printer commands available for your specificprinter. Generally, applications just send raw ASCII text to the printer.Since you are sending data to the printer from your application directly tothe port you are in complete control of the printers operations. This allowsyoutodolineprinting(print one line at a time) rather than the page for-mat printing offered by the GDI approach. It is also much faster since datadoes not have to be converted from one graphics format to the other (dis-play to printer). Most Intermec®printers use Epson Escape Sequences tocontrol print format operations.These commands are available in documentation you receive with yourprinters or from technical support. Win32 APIs are required to print di-rectly to the port.Directly to a Generic Serial PortTo print directly to a generic serial port printer (non-Intermec printers):SUse CreateFile() to open ports - COM1: can be opened on most de-vices.SUse WriteFile() to send data directly to the printer.SUse CloseHandle() when you are finished printing to close the port.IrDA Printer DriverIrDA printing is only available on the certain devices and is supported di-rectly by the Windows CE load via the IrSock API provided by the Micro-soft Win32 API without need for additional drivers. Intermec 6804, 6805,6806, 6808 and 6820 and other IrDA printers are supported.

The driver supportsonly NPCP communications to and from the 6820 and 4820 printers overa selected serial port.All applications use WIN32 API functions to access the drivers. Basic op-erations are easily implemented by applications through the CreateFile(),WriteFile(), ReadFile(), DeviceIOControl(), and CloseHandle() Win32APIs.Operations to upgrade printer modules, perform printer diagnostics, andget printer configuration are performed largely via DeviceIOControl()functions.About NPCPNPCP (Norand®Portable Communications Protocol) is a proprietaryprotocol that provides session, network, and datalink services for Intermecmobile computers in the Intermec LAN environment used with printersand data communications.NPCP Driver Installation and RemovalUse LPT9: for the NPCP printer device and COM1 for the last parame-ter. COM1 is the connection available via the 700 Series Computer.Applications use the RegisterDevice() function to install the driver.DeregisterDevice() uninstalls the device driver and frees memory spacewhen the driver is not required. Use the HANDLE returned byRegisterDevice() as the parameter to DeregisterDevice().Use the RegisterDevice() function call as demonstrated below. Specify thefull path name to the driver starting at the root for the RegisterDevice()function to work properly. The last parameter to RegisterDevice() is aDWORD that represents the name of the port for the NPCP streamdriver to use. Build this parameter on the stack if it is not to be paged outduring the call. The first parameter “LPT” (Device Name) and the secondparameter “9’ (index), indicate the name of the registered device, such asLPT9. This is used in the CreateFile() function call.Install(){HANDLE hDevice;TCHAR port[6];port[0] = TCHAR(‘C’);port[1] = TCHAR(‘O’);port[2] = TCHAR(‘M’);port[3] = TCHAR(‘1’);port[4] = TCHAR(‘:’);port[5] = TCHAR(0);hDevice = RegisterDevice ( (TEXT(”LPT”), 9,TEXT(“\\STORAGE CARD\\WINDOWS\\NPCPPORT.dll”), (DWORD)port);}
Printer SupportChapter —5184 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s ManualOpening the NPCP DriverThe application opens the NPCP driver by using the CreateFile()function. The call can be implemented as follows. The first parameter“LPT9:”mustreflectthedevicenameandindexusedintheRegisterDevice() function call and will fail for any of the following reasons:hFile = CreateFile(_T(”LPT9:”), GENERIC_WRITE |GENERIC_READ, 0, NULL, OPEN_ALWAYS, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL,NULL);SThe port associated with the device during RegisterDevice() is in use.SThe NPCP device is already open.SThe share mode is not set to zero. The device cannot be shared.SAccess permissions are not set to GENERIC_WRITE |GENERIC_READ. Both modes must be specified.Closing the NPCP DriverUsing the CloseHandle() (hFile) function closes the NPCP driver. WherehFile is the handle returned by the CreateFile() function call.STRUE = the device is successfully closed.SFALSE = an attempt to close NULL HANDLE or an already closed de-vice.Reading from the NPCP DriverReading of the NPCP printers is not supported since all responses fromthe printer are the result of commands sent to the printer.DeviceIoControl() functions are provided where data is to be receivedfrom the printer.Writing to the NPCP DriverAll Print data can be sent to the printer using the WriteFile() function.The print data written to the driver must contain the proper printercommands for formatting. If the function returns FALSE, the NPCP errormay be retrieved using IOCTL_NPCP_ERROR. See the description onthe next page.
Printer Support—Chapter 5185700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s ManualNPCP Driver I/O ControlsAn application uses the DeviceIoControl() function to specify an printeroperation to be performed. Certain I/O controls are required to bind andclose communication sessions with the printer, and must be completedbefore any other commands to the driver can execute properly.The function returns TRUE to indicate the device successfully completedits specified I/O control operation, otherwise it returns FALSE. Thefollowing I/O control codes are defined:#define IOCTL_NPCP_CANCELCTL_CODE(FILE_DEVICE_SERIAL_PORT,0x400,METHOD_BUFFERED,FILE_ANY_ACCESS)#define IOCTL_NPCP_BINDCTL_CODE(FILE_DEVICE_SERIAL_PORT,0x401,METHOD_BUFFERED,FILE_ANY_ACCESS)#define IOCTL_NPCP_CLOSECTL_CODE(FILE_DEVICE_SERIAL_PORT,0x402,METHOD_BUFFERED,FILE_ANY_ACCESS)#define IOCTL_NPCP_ERRORCTL_CODE(FILE_DEVICE_SERIAL_PORT,0x403,METHOD_BUFFERED,FILE_ANY_ACCESS)#define IOCTL_NPCP_FLUSHCTL_CODE(FILE_DEVICE_SERIAL_PORT,0x404,METHOD_BUFFERED,FILE_ANY_ACCESS)#define IOCTL_NPCP_IOCTLCTL_CODE(FILE_DEVICE_SERIAL_PORT,0x405,METHOD_BUFFERED,FILE_ANY_ACCESS)#define IOCTL_NPCP_PRTVERCTL_CODE(FILE_DEVICE_SERIAL_PORT,0x406,METHOD_BUFFERED,FILE_ANY_ACCESS)SIOCTL_NPCP_CANCELThis cancels all printing at the printer. It flushes the printer buffers andreinitializes the printer to its default state. No parameters are required.SIOCTL_NPCP_BINDThis command is required before any data is sent or received by theprinter. Once the driver is opened, the application must bind the com-munications session with the printer before any data can be sent or re-ceived by the printer. If an error occurs during the bind, the applicationmay use IOCTL_NPCP_ERROR to get the current extended errorcode. No parameters are required.SIOCTL_NPCP_CLOSEThis command closes the current session with the printer. This functionalways returns TRUE. No parameters are required.SIOCTL_NPCP_ERRORThis command returns the extended NPCP error code in PL/N format.The word returned will contain the PL/N compatible error code in thelow byte and completion flags in the high byte. If the frame that re-turned an error was not received correctly by the printer theFRAME_NOT_ACKED bit will be set in the high byte. This operationalways returns TRUE. An output buffer of at least 2 bytes is required.See “NPCP Error Codes” on page 187.SIOCTL_NPCP_FLUSHThis command allows the application to poll the printer for errors whilethe report is completing the print process at the printer. If an error oc-curs during the polling process, the operation will return FALSE andthe application can get the extended error code by usingIOCTL_NPCP_ERROR. No parameters are required.
Printer SupportChapter —5186 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s ManualNPCP Printer CommunicationsAll NPCP printer communications should be based on the following flow:1Use CreateFile(); to open the printer driver.2Use IOCTL_NPCP_BIND to bind a session with the printer;IOCTL_NPCP_ERROR to check for errors on the bind to ensure suc-cess; and IOCTL_NPCP_CANCEL to cancel any outstanding printjobs.3Use IOCTL_NPCP_FLUSH to poll the printer to free up printer buff-er resources. Use IOCTL_NPCP_FLUSH to poll the printer’s status. Ifan error is reported by the IOCTL, then use IOCTL_NPCP_ERRORto get the error and determine the correct recovery procedure.4Use WriteFile(); to write your data to the printer. Check for errors andthat all data were written. Use IOCTL_NPCP_ERROR to get the ex-tended error. If the error is critical in nature, useIOCTL_NPCP_CLOSE, followed by CloseFile(), to end the commu-nications session. Start a new session, beginning with step 1 to ensureproper printing. For noncritical errors display the error and retry theoperation.5After all data is sent to the printer, ensure that the printer continues toprint the report properly by polling the printer’s status. UseIOCTL_NPCP_FLUSH to poll the printer’s status. If an error is re-ported by the IOCTL, then use IOCTL_NPCP_ERROR to get theerror and determine the correct recovery procedure.Sample CodeSee sample code in the “\700C Dev Tools\Installable Drivers\PortDrivers\Npcp\NPCPPrint\” directory for more details on printing, printercommunications and error code handling.

Scanner SupportChapter —6204 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s ManualNote: When selecting either the 1551E or the 1553 Scanner or enablingthe scanner port for these scanners, the 700 Computer tries to communi-cate with the attached scanner. If the scanner is not powered, if the cable isnot connected properly, the wrong cable is used, or if the scanner firmwareis older than 2.0, and the “Failed to save one or more settings” messageappears, then this step failed.This process can take time as the terminal is going through a group ofRS-232 settings to communicate with the scanner. After successful com-municated with the scanner (about eight beeps are generated), it initializesthe scanner with the 700 Computer’s current settings. This process mightgenerate a series of beeps pending on the firmware version installed in thescanner. These beeps are suppressed in firmware versions 2.08 or greater.Troubleshooting the 1551E/1553 Tethered ScannerDo the following to troubleshoot your 1551/1553 Tethered Scanner:1Ensure the correct cable is used for the scanner on the tethered scannerport. Note the 700 Computer cannot supply power to the scanner.2Perform a quick test to determine whether the connection is good.Temporary select the scanner model as “ASCII,” then enable the scan-ner port state. Go to a command prompt or a notepad and scan a datalabel. If a label is wedged into the command prompt or notepad, thenthe connection is good.3If step 2 passes, reset the scanner configurations to their defaults (scanthe Reset Factory Defaults label on the next page) to prevent miscom-munication, then reenable the scanner port state.4If step 2 fails, then the firmware installed in the tethered scanner may beolder than version 2.0. Upgrade your scanner firmware.Reset Factory DefaultsScan the EasySet software bar code label “Reset Factory Default” to restoreall of your scanner’s configurations to their factory defaults. When thiscommand label is scanned, reinitialize the tethered scanner (such as disablethe scanner port state, then enable it) on the 700 Computer. Otherwise,the online configuration and scanning on the 700 Computer are not func-tional. In general, scan this label only to initially reset the scanner.Do not scan EasySet command labels to change the following settings:SSymbologies code mark SCode 128, EAN29 IdentifierSPreamble and Postamble SEnable/Disable symbologiesSSymbology ID transmit optionIn some cases, scanning EasySet Command labels cause the current settingon the user interface to be out of sync with the scanner settings.
