Keyboard input is not accepted in this type of field. 6.5.
Chapter 6: Tekterm Application TESS Edit Modes And Cursor Movement There are several ways to configure the 7535 hand-held to complete a data field: • • • • Pressing after entering data. Pressing a function key after entering data. Pressing an arrow key after entering data. Filling an auto-tab field. 6.5.5.1 TESS Edit Modes And Cursor Movement The TESS editing modes and cursor movements in each type of mode are described in the table below.
Chapter 6: Tekterm Application Key Behaviour In TESS 6.5.5.2 Key Behaviour In TESS Field mode Replace mode Insert mode Fcursor mode • In a left justified field, the key erases all characters in the field and places the cursor in the left most position of that field. • In a right justified field, the key erases all characters in the field and places the cursor in the right most position of that field.
Chapter 6: Tekterm Application Key Behaviour In TESS 6.5.5.3 Key Behaviour In TESS Field mode Replace mode • In a left justified field, the key erases the character directly to the left of the cursor and then moves the cursor one position to the left. When the last character in the field is deleted, the field displays the value that it contained before it was modified, and the field is opened.
Chapter 6: Tekterm Application TESS Status Message Insert mode • In a left justified field, the function erases the character on which the cursor is positioned, unless it is at the right end of the character string; in this case, it erases the character to the left of the cursor. When the last character in a field is erased, the field remains empty, and any further functions in the empty field result in a keyboard error beep.
Chapter 6: Tekterm Application Lock Messages 6.5.7 Lock Messages When information is transmitted to the host computer, the keyboard locks to prevent further data entry until the 7535 receives a reply. A locked state is indicated by either “LOCK-B” (base) or “LOCK-H” (host) in the lower left corner of the display. When the reply is received by the 7535, the lock message disappears and the keyboard can be used again. 6.5.
Chapter 6: Tekterm Application The Local Menu 6.5.10 The Local Menu The host can store local procedures in the 7535 for use when the unit is off-line. A menu of these procedures appears whenever is pressed (see Figure 6.3). • Press the function key corresponding to the procedure you want to perform. Local procedures will not function when the “Lcl Process” and “Queuing” parameters are disabled (see “Lcl Process – Save on Reset” on page 219 and “Queuing” on page 219).
Chapter 6: Tekterm Application Queuing Mode 6.5.12 Queuing Mode In some applications, queuing mode can decrease the computer lock time. In queuing mode, the host computer may send several pages to a 7535 without waiting for a response. These pages are stored in a queue within the 7535 hand-held. The operator completes the entries on the first page and then, presses a function key. The 7535 simultaneously transmits to the host and displays the next page in the queue.
Chapter 6: Tekterm Application Sending Data To The Host 6.6.2 Sending Data To The Host 7535 hand-helds running ANSI sessions transmit characters to the host as soon as they are typed. The 7535 provides parameters that determine when the computer transmits characters to the host. The 7535 can be configured to transmit after a number of characters are typed in (the “Xmit Count” parameter) or after some time has elapsed (the “Xmit Wait” parameter), or both.

The battery installed in the 7535 is also recharged by the vehicle battery. This option accepts DC power sources over the range 12V to 80V. The 7535 picker cradle can be ordered with the powered cradle option installed, or it can be retrofitted later at an authorized Psion Teklogix service depot.
Chapter 7: Peripheral Devices & Accessories Wiring Vehicle Power To The Cradle 7.11.6.1 Wiring Vehicle Power To The Cradle A 1.8 meter (6 foot) extension power cable (PN 13985) is supplied with your power cradle. This cable should be wired to a filtered, fused (maximum 10A) accessory supply on the vehicle. The power cradle draws no more than 8A (less if the accessory supply is greater than 12V). Any additional wiring, connectors or disconnects used should be rated for at least 10A.
Chapter 7: Peripheral Devices & Accessories The Port Replicator 7.11.7 The Port Replicator The port replicator is an optional accessory that allows tethered devices (e.g., scanners) as well as mounted peripherals (e.g., bar code printers or weigh scales) to be attached to the picker cradle. The replicator can be used with or without the cradle power option. The functionality of the 7535 tether port is duplicated on the port replicator.

APPENDIX C USB SETUP APPLICATION C.1 USB Setup The USB Setup application (PN 1000997) is used to update a Windows PC so that it can connect to a Psion Teklogix 7535. System Requirements • • Windows® 2000 or XP ActiveSync 3.1 or later The two driver classes that control USB communication are usbstor (for communication with a device running BooSt) and wceusbsh (for communication through ActiveSync with a device running Windows CE).
Appendix C: USB Setup Application Pre-Installation: Updating usbstor.inf And wceusbsh.inf C.1.2 Pre-Installation: Updating usbstor.inf And wceusbsh.inf 1. Welcome Dialogue Box: You can click on the and buttons to navigate between the pre-install windows. At any time during the pre-installation process, you can tap on to exit the program. • • Shut down all other software programs – especially ActiveSync – to avoid a restart request during installation. Tap on the button.
Appendix C: USB Setup Application Pre-Installation: Updating usbstor.inf And wceusbsh.inf • If necessary, tap on the buttons to select different paths for the inf files. 3. Device Driver Install Selection Dialogue Box: You can choose to have the device drivers installed immediately by selecting the check box (√), or you can leave the check box blank and Windows will install the 7535 the next time it is connected. It is recommended that the device be installed immediately.
Appendix C: USB Setup Application Installation: Installing The 7535 As a Device On Your PC C.1.3 Installation: Installing The 7535 As a Device On Your PC 1. Install Dialogue Box: The .sys files you selected are copied to the backup directory. If an unknown error occurs during the backup, you are asked whether you’d prefer to cancel the install or continue with the process. The wceusbsh.inf and usbstor.inf files are updated. 2.
Appendix C: USB Setup Application Post Installation completed the driver installation and the device is no longer marked for reinstall. Only one devnode per device can be ‘unset’ when the device drivers are finally installed. 3. If you indicated that the usbstor driver should be installed, the same steps as described above are carried out for usbstor except that the 7535 must be running BooSt. (Press and hold down the keys for a minimum of 6 seconds to launch the BooSt program.
