Falcon

4400 Series with Windows Mobile

• If your Falcon has the 2D Imaging module installed, you can read and

decode traditional 1D linear bar codes, 2D and composite symbols,

and OCR fonts. You can also capture images such as signatures, labels,

and other items. See Bar Code Scanning with 2D Imager starting on

page 36 for further information.

Using the Stylus

The stylus is located next to the scanning pod as illustrated in Figure 13. The

stylus on the Falcon is the equivalent of the mouse on a PC. Use the stylus to:

• Navigate the touchscreen display.

• Select characters in the on-screen keyboard.

• Start programs.

• Select tabs, fields and text within applications and dialog boxes.

It is good practice to replace the stylus in the holder after each use so you don’t

misplace it. An optional Tethered Stylus is also available, preventing accidental

loss of the stylus.

Never use a pen, pencil, or other sharp object on the Falcon’s touchscreen dis-

play. Use only the supplied stylus or plastic-tipped pens intended for use with a

touch-sensitive display. Contact your reseller to replace a missing stylus; refer to

the Datalogic Mobile website listed on the back cover of this manual.
