Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535 Scanning Techniques 3.7.1 Scanning Techniques Note: The scanning techniques described here apply to internal and external scanners. • • • • • • Hold the scanner at an angle. Do not hold it perpendicular to the bar code. Do not hold the scanner directly over the bar code. In this position, light can reflect back into the scanner’s exit window and prevent a successful decode. Scan the entire bar code.
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535 Troubleshooting 3.7.3 Troubleshooting If the scanner is not working, investigate the following: • Is the 7535 on? • Check that the bar code symbology being scanned is enabled for the 7535 you are using. Check any other parameters that affect the scanning procedure or the bar code. • Check the bar code to make sure it is not damaged. Try scanning a different bar code to verify that the problem is not with the bar code.
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535 Operating Internal PDF Laser Scanners 3.7.5 Operating Internal PDF Laser Scanners This scanner decodes PDF417 two-dimensional bar codes. • • Turn the 7535 on. Wait until the unit has booted up completely. Aim at the bar code and press the scan key or the trigger. The beam expands into a rectangle covering the bar code to properly scan it. The scan beam and a warning indicator are visible until a successful decode is achieved or three seconds have elapsed. 3.7.
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535 Connecting & Disconnecting Tethered Peripherals • When the scan button or trigger is pressed, a red, oval shaped light (the framing marker) is displayed. Centre the framing marker in the field – either in the centre of the bar code you want to scan or in the centre of the area in which multiple bar codes are to be scanned. Illumination LEDs will flash and a picture of the bar code(s) is taken. 3.
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535 Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time To remove the peripheral: • Grasp the shell of the plug, and pull it back gently to unlock and release the connector. Figure 3.9 Disconnecting The Tether Cable Important: Never attempt to disconnect a peripheral by pulling the connector by the wire. The connector is locked into place and can only be unlocked and removed by pulling back the plug shell. 3.
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535 Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time To maximize the run time of your batteries, consider the following: • • • The display backlight is the largest drain on the battery. Try to keep its brightness as low as possible. The hand-held is ‘event’ driven – that is, when the unit is not in use, it reverts to sleep mode (even when it appears to be running), saving battery power. Events include a key press, touchscreen taps and scan triggers.
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535 Storing Batteries 3.9.1 Storing Batteries Long term battery storage is not recommended. If storage is necessary: • • • • • Always try to use a ‘first-in first-out’ approach to minimize storage time. Lithium-Ion batteries age much faster at elevated temperatures. Store batteries at temperatures between 0˚ C and 20˚C. Always charge batteries to 40 to 60% before storing them.
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535 Uploading Data In A Docking Station 3.11 Uploading Data In A Docking Station The Combo Docking and Quad Docking peripherals allow the 7535 to link to an Ethernet network.

When a 7535 is properly inserted in a docking station, a dock icon is displayed in the taskbar at the bottom of the 7535 screen. The 7535 also detects the presence of the Ethernet network.
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535 Cleaning The 7535 3.12.2 Cleaning The 7535 Important: • • • Do not immerse the unit in water. Dampen a soft cloth with mild detergent to wipe the unit clean. Use only mild detergent or soapy water to clean the hand-held unit. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents or strong chemicals for cleaning. The 7535 has a plastic case that is susceptible to harsh chemicals. The plastic is partially soluble in oils, mineral spirits and gasoline.

Chapter 5: Configuration SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) Setup 5.8 SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) Setup Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is the protocol used to monitor and manage devices attached to a TCP/IP network (providing they support SNMP). SNMP uses Management Information Bases (MIBs) that define the variables an SNMP Network Management Station can access. Each product has a defined set of MIBs that determine how SNMP operates, the type of access allowed and so on.
Chapter 5: Configuration Contact Tab 5.8.1 Contact Tab The SNMP dialogue box is displayed. Figure 5.51 Contact Tab Contact This field identifies the contact person for this managed node along with information about how to get in touch with this person. The content of this parameter is accessible through MIB-II’s sysContact object. Location This parameter is used to identify the physical location of this node (e.g., Warehouse A: Pillar 32B).
Chapter 5: Configuration Communities Tab 5.8.2 Communities Tab Figure 5.52 Community Settings The “Communities” tab provides a means of limiting access to SNMP managed devices to those SNMP Managers with matching “community names”, as specified by RFC 1157. Enable SNMP Enabling (√) ‘Enable SNMP’ allows the device to respond to SNMP queries and to send Traps. After enabling this option and rebooting the device, the SNMP Agent will automatically start up.
Chapter 5: Configuration Adding A Community 5.8.2.1 • Adding A Community Choose the Add button to add a new ‘community’. Figure 5.53 Adding A Community Name The value assigned here is the name assigned by the network administrator to the set of devices to which this managed node belongs.
Chapter 5: Configuration Modifying A Community Setting 5.8.2.2 Modifying A Community Setting To modify an existing community: • • Highlight the community you want to alter. Choose the Change button. Figure 5.54 Changing Or Removing A Community A Modify Community dialogue box is displayed, listing the community you highlighted. • 5.8.2.3 Edit the Name and/or Rights, and press to save your changes.
Chapter 5: Configuration Trap Destination Tab 5.8.3 Trap Destination Tab A trap is an unsolicited report sent to SNMP Managers by the SNMP Agent running on the managed node. This option allows you to define where the report will be sent. Figure 5.55 Trap Destination Tab 5.8.3.1 Enabling Authentication TRAPS Enabling (√) ‘Enable Authentication TRAPS’ allows authorization traps to be sent when a failure is detected (e.g., an SNMP message received with a bad community name). 5.8.3.
Chapter 5: Configuration Changing A Destination 5.8.3.3 Changing A Destination To change an existing trap destination: • Highlight the destination you want to alter in the Trap Destination tab, and then choose the Change button. A dialogue box like the one displayed when you add a destination is displayed. Figure 5.57 Changing A Destination • 5.8.3.4 Make the changes to the destination, and press to save the changes.
Chapter 5: Configuration Permitted Hosts Tab 5.8.4 Permitted Hosts Tab For security reasons, the Network Administrator may want to restrict SNMP-node access to a known sub-set of SNMP Managers. This tab lists the IP addresses of all the SNMP Managers which are allowed to monitor and manage this device. If no entries are listed, the device will accept SNMP queries from any host. Figure 5.58 Permitted Hosts Tab 5.8.4.1 Adding A Host To add a new host: • Highlight the Add button, and press .
