VIII. GUI interface 1) LEDs BCL LED: Single blinks (e.g. *pause*pause*…) Double fast blinks (e.g.
Status area This area is always visible by the user. It displays basics information Running communication Operating Data Mode & recorded MODE hh:mm Battery level Time Battery level An icon representing the battery level is shown. Several states can be displayed: : If Vbat ≥ 70%, this icon is displayed. : If 70%> Vbat ≥ 40% ; this icon is displayed. : If 40%> Vbat ≥ 10% ; this icon is displayed. : If 10%> Vbat ≥ Vlow (ie : 5%), this icon is displayed.
3) ‘Frozen display’ In some cases, the terminal has to be focused on one (1) specific action. In other words, to guarantee a good product behavior, the user mustn’t stop/disturb the current running action. In such a case, capturing data (writing/reading of RFID tags…) is forbidden; no user application is running… During this running specific action, the following screen is displayed: [action 1] [action 2] BT name: xxx BDA: xx.xx .xx.xx.xx.xx S/N : xxxxxxx Batt.
IX. Connecting your orKan terminal There are two (2) different ways to create a connection from the host to the orKan terminal by Bluetooth: 1) Slave mode (default) The host (PC, Baracoda Desktop Manager, …) creates the connection to the terminal. In this case, the remote host is the master Bluetooth node and the orKan terminal is the slave node. The terminal can be configured to reconnect automatically with the Baracoda Desktop Manager software.
X. Configuring your orKan terminal There are two (2) ways to configure your orKan terminal: - when connected to a PC, the Baracoda Desktop Manager software can be used for multiple setting changes. - the configuration barcodes in the Programming Guide can be used to configure the terminal without using any software applications. 1) Reset to default settings To reset the orKan terminal to default settings, the user can use the Baracoda Desktop Manager or scan the Reset Configuration barcode.
3) Barcode Symbology Settings You can enable/disable/modify any type of barcode symbology with both the Baracoda Desktop Manager software (only for 1D and Laser terminals) or with the Programming Guide.
e. Data Prefix / Suffix A prefix and/or suffix can be added to every piece of data sent to the host device. You can configure the data prefix/suffix via the Baracoda Desktop Manager software or with the Programming Guide. By default there is no data prefix or suffix set on the orKan terminal. f. Capture Prefix/Suffix A capture prefix and/or suffix can be added to every piece of data sent to the host device.
7) Low Battery An alternation of red and green blinking on the two (2) LEDs indicates that the battery level is low. Recharge the battery immediately. If you continue using the terminal, it will work until a triple beep occurs: at that moment the terminal will shut down and you will be forced to charge the terminal.
