PAGE 84
2-36 MC9000-K/S for Embedded Windows® CE .NET Product Reference Guide Scanning Considerations Typically, scanning is a simple matter of aim, scan/decode and a few quick trial efforts master it. However, two important considerations can be used to optimize any scanning performance: • Range Any scanning device decodes well over a particular working range — minimum and maximum distances from the bar code. This range varies according to bar code density and scanning device optics.
PAGE 85

Mobile Computer Configuration Introduction Terminal Configuration Manager (TCM) is an application used to customize flash file system partitions for the mobile computer. The most common use is to create an application partition hex file that contains the customer's application. TCM can also be used to load hex files to the flash memory of the mobile computer. The program resident on the mobile computer that receives the hex file and burns it to the flash memory is called Initial Program Loader (IPL).
