The driver must be disabled in order to access the modem directly (e.g. dial-up data, fax, or in order to manually submit AT commands to the modem for development, testing, approvals, etc.). In most cases, the Virtual WWAN serial port can be used and it is not necessary to disable the WWAN driver.
Chapter 6: Settings Tools Menu the Phone field remains empty. The modem serial number is called IMEI for GSM modems and ESN for CDMA modems. The SIM ID is sometimes referred to as the ICC ID (International Charge Card Identifier). Not all modems support the retrieval of the SIM ID. In particular, the Novatel Merlin UMTS modems and the Option Globetrotter modems do not support SIM ID retrieval. If the main menu shows an error status, at least partial modem information may be available.
Chapter 6: Settings SMS Menu When the Ikôn enters suspend mode, the modem remains powered. If the Ikôn is not turned on again during the configured time, the unit briefly wakes up from suspend mode, shuts down the modem, and enters suspend mode again.

Chapter 7: Peripheral Devices & Accessories Operating Two Dimensional (2D) Imagers 7.11.4 Operating Two Dimensional (2D) Imagers An imager takes a snap shot of a single bar code or multiple bar codes (at one time). It can find a bar code regardless of its orientation—that is, even a bar code printed at a 45 degree angle to the Ikôn will be decoded successfully. Note: When scanning multiple bar codes, ensure that all of the desired bar codes are within the field of view of the scanner.

APPENDIX D BAR CODES SETTINGS D.1 Scanner Menu The dropdown menu to the right of the Scanner option allows you to choose from one of the following scanner types used with your Ikôn: Decoded (internal), Decoded (Intermec ISCP) or Imager. The symbologies listed change to reflect the scanner you choose and the bar codes it supports. Important: To improve the decode speed and performance, enable only those codes that are required by the application.
Appendix D: Bar Codes Settings Decoded (Internal) Scanner D.2 Decoded (Internal) Scanner D.2.1 Options – Decoded (Internal) Scanner Dot Time (msec) The value selected for “Dot Time (msec)” determines (in milliseconds) how long the targeting dot remains on before the scanner switches to a normal scan sweep. When you doubletap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can enter a value of 0 msec, 200 msec or 400 msec. A value of 0 (zero) disables the target dot.
Appendix D: Bar Codes Settings Advanced Options – Decoded (Internal) D.2.2 Advanced Options – Decoded (Internal) Continuous Scan Mode Setting this parameter to ‘on’ keeps the laser on and continuously decoding as long as the scanner button is pressed and held down. Minimum Cancel Time The value assigned to this parameter determines the time delay before the scanner is turned off, once the scanner trigger or button is released.
Appendix D: Bar Codes Settings Advanced Options – Decoded (Internal) 5). Higher security levels should be selected for decreasing levels of bar code quality. As security levels increase, the scanner’s decode speed decreases. Double-tapping on this parameter displays a dialog box in which you can enter a value from 1 to 4.
Appendix D: Bar Codes Settings Decoded (Internal) 2D Scanning Options Scan Angle This option allows you to choose from two scan angles: Normal Angle or Alternate Angle. Choosing Normal Angle allows the normal operation for scanning long range and short range. Choosing Alternate Angle widens the beam to allow scanning of long bar codes at short range but at the cost of long range scanning. D.2.
Appendix D: Bar Codes Settings Code 39 Prefix [P], Suffix [S1] And Suffix [S2] A prefix and/or one or two suffixes may be appended to scan data for use in data editing. When you double-tap on these parameters, a dialog box is displayed in which you can enter a value from 0 to 255. Delete Char Set ECIs Setting this parameter to on enables the scanner to delete any escape sequences representing Character Set ECIs – Extended Channel Interpretations (also known as GLIs) from its buffer before transmission.
Appendix D: Bar Codes Settings Code 39 Code 32 Prefix Note: “Convert to Code 32” must be enabled in order for this parameter to function. When this parameter is enabled, the prefix character “A” is added to all “Code 32” bar codes. Set Length L1 And Set Length L2 Lengths for “Code 39” can be set for Any length, Length within a range, One discrete length or Two discrete lengths. The length of a code refers to the number of characters (i.e., human readable characters), including check digit(s).
Appendix D: Bar Codes Settings Code 39 Transmit Check Digit If the check digit is to be transmitted with the data, this parameter must to enabled. Full ASCII If this parameter is enabled, the characters +, %, and / are used as escape characters. The combination of an escape character and the next character is converted to an equivalent ASCII character. Decode Performance If this parameter is enabled, one of three decode levels can be chosen in the “Decode Performance Level” parameter. Decode Perf.
Appendix D: Bar Codes Settings Code 128 Minimum Size And Maximum Size When a value is assigned to these parameters, only bar code lengths that fall between the minimum and maximum value can be decoded. If values are assigned to these parameters, a Field Size value is not required. Add/Remove Data Prefix Char This character, if non-zero, is added before a successfully decoded bar code. Press the key you want to insert in the dialog box attached to this parameter.
Appendix D: Bar Codes Settings EAN 13 Decode Performance If this parameter is set to on, one of three decode levels assigned to the “Decode Performance Level” parameter can be selected. Decode Perf. Level This parameter provides three levels of decode performance or “aggressiveness” for Code 128 symbols. Increasing the performance level reduces the amount of required bar code orientation – this is useful when scanning very long and/or truncated bar codes.
Appendix D: Bar Codes Settings UPC A D.2.9 UPC A Enabled Set this parameter to on to enable “UPC A”. UPC-A Check Digit If you enable this parameter, the check digit is included with the decoded bar code data.
Appendix D: Bar Codes Settings UPC/EAN Shared Settings Conv. UPC-E To UPC-A This parameter converts UPC-E (zero suppressed) decoded data to UPC-A format before transmission. After conversion, data follows UPC-A format and is affected by UPC-A programming selections (e.g., Preamble, Check Digit). Conv. UPC-E1 To UPC-A This parameter converts UPC-E1 (zero suppressed) decoded data to UPC-A format before transmission.
Appendix D: Bar Codes Settings Code 93 from 0 to 3. Lower values have a lower tolerance for misreads, but they also increase the time it takes to decode the bar code.
