F732 WIZARD™ 3 3.3 CONNECTION CABLES Several types of cables are available depending on the type of computer and connection. The following cables are listed with their order number.
USE AND OPERATION 4 4 USE AND OPERATION When an EasyGen™ application program is loaded onto the F732 terminal (either a Demo example or an application developed with EasyGen™ for Formula) to launch it, it is necessary to extract the F732 terminal from the cradle and press and then the key. If the barcode scanning function has been used in the application, scanning is possible. Ed.
F732 WIZARD™ 4 4.1 LOADING APPLICATION PROGRAMS If you are using application programs for EasyGen™ (see par. 1.2 or par. 1.3) refer to chapter 6 of the EasyGen™ User's Manual. If you are using applications developed with DS for Formula (see par. 1.3) refer to the "Tools" paragraph in the DS for Formula Manual. 4.2 BAR CODE SCANNING Point the F732 terminal laser beam at the code from an appropriate distance and simultaneously press the key.
USE AND OPERATION 4.3 4 DESCRIPTION OF KEYS Although EasyGen™ for Formula allows assigning customized functions to function keys, there are some standard functions common to all applications because they are implemented in the interpreter software. ATTENTION Refer to chapter 6 "EasyGen™ Interpreter Program" of the EasyGen™ User's Manual for more details about the key functions. Every time a key is pressed, the F732 terminal remains turned on for a maximum of 20 seconds.
4 F732 WIZARD™ ESC KEY: used in the “Data display” mode. SHIFT KEY: Enables the entry of alphabetical characters (written in white on the keyboard) when followed by the pressing of a numeric key: for example if you want to enter the alphabetical character “A”, you have to press +<7>.
USE AND OPERATION 4 BACKSPACE KEY: deletes the last character entered. SPACE KEY: allows the introduction of a blank space. If the has been pressed previously, the choice of alternative characters will be activated. ENTER KEY: allows validation of what has been typed. SHIELDED RESET KEY: it is activated by inserting a blunt object in the slot while simultaneously pressing the key. Ed.
F732 WIZARD™ 4 4.4 DOWNLOADING DATA TO HOST Data can be downloaded from the terminal to the host PC in different ways, depending on the application loaded: − automatically, by simply inserting the terminal into the cradle; − by direct operator intervention on the terminal or host computer; SCAN ESC F2 F1 SHIFT F4 F3 ABC 7 JKL 4 STU 1 ,;? ¥ BS DEF 8 MNO 5 VWX 2 $%: 0 SP GHI 9 PQR 6 YZ* 3 R E T N E 24 Ed.
MAINTENANCE 5 5 MAINTENANCE NOTE 5.1 Rechargeable battery packs (NiCd) are not initially charged. Therefore the first operation to perform is to charge them in the appropriate cradle. See chapter 3 and the following paragraph "Charging the Batteries". CHARGING THE BATTERIES Battery charge life depends on many variables but, under normal conditions, autonomy is more than enough for a day’s work. Information on the battery-charge status is provided by the dedicated icon on the display .
F732 WIZARD™ 5 Recharging should be made after using the terminal until the batteries are nearly flat. ATTENTION When the F732 terminal display window shows the message "BATTERY LOW", wait until the F732 terminal is turned off before inserting it in the cradle. Recharge the terminal by simply inserting it into its cradle; Datalogic S.p.A. recommends a minimum uninterrupted recharging time of eight hours.
MAINTENANCE 5.2 5 REPLACING THE BATTERIES ATTENTION Before proceeding, ensure that the terminal is switched off and that the data it contains has been downloaded onto the host computer. To replace the batteries correctly, proceed as follows. 1- Turn over the F732 terminal and remove the two battery cover screws. 2- Lift the battery cover as shown in the figure and extract the old battery pack. Ed.
F732 WIZARD™ 5 3- 4- Replace the battery pack, making sure the batteries are inserted in the right direction as indicated on the cover. Close the battery cover and tighten the screws. Dispose of used batteries in accordance with the relevant laws in force. NOTE 5.3 CLEANING THE TERMINAL Clean the terminal from time to time with a slightly damp cloth. Do not use alcohol, corrosive products or solvents. 28 Ed.
TROUBLESHOOTING 6 6 TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM CAUSE REMEDY When the button is pressed the terminal does not come on. Flat batteries. Recharge terminal. Batteries completely flat or broken.
