14.1.2.1 Internal Scanners
An internal scanner is built into the body of the hand-held computer. Each hand-held computer can
have only one internal scanner. The scanner can be a non-decoded scanner, a decoded scanner, an
imaging scanner, or an RFID scanner. The internal scanner is activated by the hand-held’s scanner
button, or by the pistol grip trigger mechanism.
Pressing the scan button on the keyboard and pressing the trigger on the pistol grip have identical
effects. In the rest of this description this will be referred to as pressing the trigger on the hand-
held computer.
Querying the scanner type of an internal scanner through the API returns one of the following
strings:
14.1.2.2 External Scanners
A Psion Teklogix computer can have up to two external scanners. Only one of them can be a non-
decoded scanner. The scanners can be connected through the tether port, or through a vehicle-
mount cradle.
