1. Introduction The 8071 Series Portable Terminals are compact, high performance data terminals designed for all-day, everyday use. They are powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery pack. They are supported by a rich set of development tools, including a Windows-based application generator, “C” and “Basic” compilers. With their integrated barcode scanning units, the 8071 Series Portable Terminals are ideal for applications such as inventory control, access control and shop floor management, etc.

3. Software Architecture The system software of 80x0/80x1 Series Portable Terminal consists of three modules: the kernel & Application Manager module, the System module and the Application module. 3.1 Kernel & Application Manager The kernel is the innermost core of the system. It has the highest security and is always protected by the system. Only the failure of flash memory or improperly power off during system restart after updating kernel will the kernel be destroyed.
terminal to be cloned without going through a PC. 3.2 System The system module provides the following services: y 1. Information The system information includes hardware version (H/W), serial number (S/N), manufacturing date (M/D), kernel version (KNL), C library (LIB) or BASIC run-time version (BAS), application program version (USR) and hardware configurations (DEV). y 2. Settings The system settings include the following: 1. Clock Set date and time for the system. 2.

Buzzer To test the buzzer with different Frequency/Duration. Press ENTER key to start and then press any key to stop the test. 3. LCD & LED To test LCD display and LED indicator. Press ENTER key to start and then press any key to stop the test. 4. Keyboard To test the rubber keys.
the terminal. For detailed information, please refer to “Application Generator User’s Guide”. 3.4 Programming the terminal There are three software tools available for developing application programs for the terminal. 1. The Application Generator 2. The “BASIC” Compiler 3. The “C” Compiler For detailed information, please contact Syntech Information Co., Ltd. 3.5 Programming the communication cradle The communication cradle of the 8071 Portable Terminal supports serial IR interface only.
4. Operations Batteries must be fresh and properly loaded before start operation. 4.1 Keyboard Operations The keypad of the 8000 Portable Data Terminal has 21 keys. The functions of some special keys are as follows: SCAN Scan a barcode. Press this button will trigger the scanner to read a barcode if the scanner port is enabled. ENTER Enter. There are two enter keys on the side of the scan key. Normally the enter keys are used for command execution or input confirmation. ESC Escape.
4.3 System mode To enter the system menu, you need to press the 7, 9 and POWER keys simultaneously upon power up the terminal. For details of the services provided by the system, please refer to section 3.2. 4.4 Kernel mode To enter the kernel menu, you need to press 7, 9 and POWER keys simultaneously to enter the system menu first, then power off the unit and press 1, 7 and POWER key simultaneously.
5. Troubleshooting a) Does not power up after pressing POWER key. ¾ Make sure the batteries are loaded and check if the batteries are properly installed with battery cap firmly closed. ¾ If it doesn’t help, change the batteries and try again. ¾ Call for service if problem persists. b) Cannot transmit data or programs via the terminal’s communication port.
