4 Network Support The 700 Series Color Mobile Computer can integrate up to three radios in a single unit, and automatically installs the appropriate software for radio use when the unit is powered on. The Intermec CORE (Common Object Resource Environment) application, which provides a framework for various modules that let you configure and manage your Intermec products, defaults to the most recently used module.
Chapter 4 — Network Support CORE The Intermec CORE application provides a framework for various modules that let you configure and manage your Intermec products. These modules are software plug-ins that can be configuration tools, such as the 802.11b radio configuration module, or they can provide information on your environment, such as a battery life module. CORE modules are collections of specific information. Each module can display general and detailed information.
Chapter 4 — Network Support Note: Once CORE is running, you can return to it by tapping its icon from the System Tray via the Today screen. Tap Start > Today > the Core three-ring icon (circled in the following illustration). Network Adapters Your 700 Series Computer can have up to three radios installed. The default network adapter or radio is dependent on what radios are installed in your 700 Series Computer. The 730 Computer only has the 802.11b radio and wireless printing.
Chapter 4 — Network Support Ethernet Communications Note: This section does not apply to the 730 Computer. Follow the steps below to start Ethernet communications on the 700 Series Computer.

Chapter 5 — Printer Support NPCP Printer Driver The NPCP printer communications driver (NPCPPORT.DLL) is a Stream Device Driver built into the operating system. The driver supports only NPCP communications to and from the 6820 and 4820 printers over a selected serial port. All applications use WIN32 API functions to access the drivers. Basic operations are easily implemented by applications through the CreateFile(), WriteFile(), ReadFile(), DeviceIOControl(), and CloseHandle() Win32 APIs.
Chapter 5 — Printer Support Opening the NPCP Driver The application opens the NPCP driver by using the CreateFile() function. The call can be implemented as follows. The first parameter “LPT9:” must reflect the device name and index used in the RegisterDevice() function call and will fail for any of the following reasons: hFile = CreateFile(_T(”LPT9:”), GENERIC_WRITE | GENERIC_READ, 0, NULL, OPEN_ALWAYS, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, NULL); S The port associated with the device during RegisterDevice() is in use.
Chapter 5 — Printer Support NPCP Driver I/O Controls An application uses the DeviceIoControl() function to specify an printer operation to be performed. Certain I/O controls are required to bind and close communication sessions with the printer, and must be completed before any other commands to the driver can execute properly. The function returns TRUE to indicate the device successfully completed its specified I/O control operation, otherwise it returns FALSE.
Chapter 5 — Printer Support NPCP Printer Communications All NPCP printer communications should be based on the following flow: 1 Use CreateFile(); to open the printer driver. 2 Use IOCTL_NPCP_BIND to bind a session with the printer; IOCTL_NPCP_ERROR to check for errors on the bind to ensure success; and IOCTL_NPCP_CANCEL to cancel any outstanding print jobs. 3 Use IOCTL_NPCP_FLUSH to poll the printer to free up printer buffer resources. Use IOCTL_NPCP_FLUSH to poll the printer’s status.
Chapter 5 — Printer Support NPCP Error Codes Call the IOCTL_NPCP_ERROR I/O control function to receive PL/N compatible error codes. Applications must decide how to act upon the data returned.
Chapter 5 — Printer Support O’Neil Printer Driver The DTR printer communications driver is a Stream Device Driver named ONEIL.DLL. All applications use WIN32 API functions to access drivers. Basic operations are easily implemented by applications through the CreateFile(), WriteFile(), DeviceIOControl() and CloseHandle() Win32 APIs. The driver supports communications to 6804DM, 6804T, 6805A, 6806, 6808, 681T, and PB20 printers over a selected serial port.
Chapter 5 — Printer Support Opening the DTR Driver The application opens the DTR driver by using the CreateFile() function. The call can be implemented as follows: hFile = CreateFile(_T(”DTR1:”), GENERIC_WRITE, 0, NULL, OPEN_ALWAYS, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, NULL); The first parameter “DTR1:” must reflect the device name and index used in the RegisterDevice() function call.

Sabre 1551E / 1553 Cables connect directly to the Model 700 COM Port. Limitations and Capabilities The Tethered Scanner has the following limitations: S No auto detection of a scanner’s physical connection to COM1 port.
Chapter 6 — Scanner Support S The bar code APIs, defined in the IADC interface, are available to get bar code data from the bar code scanner. The following example shows how to programmatically collects bar code data: #include “IADC.h” #include “ITCAdcMgmt.h” // Linked with ITCUUID.LIB // Linked with ITCAdcDevMgmt.lib IADC* pIADC; HRESULT hrStatus = S_OK; // Create a ADC COM interface to collect bar code data from the 1551E/1553 // when the 1551/1553 menu option is enabled.
Chapter 6 — Scanner Support For Units With PSM Build 3.00 or Newer Configuring the Tethered Scanner Do the following before you configure your tethered scanner from the Intermec Settings control panel applet. Information about the settings you can configure with this applet is described in the Intermec Computer Command Reference Manual.

Chapter 6 — Scanner Support 4 Tap the Scanner model option for a drop-down list, then select the applicable scanner, such as “1551E” or “1553” in this sample screen. 5 Make sure a scanner is connected to your 700 Computer properly. Then, tap to check Scanner Port State, then tap File > Save Settings from the bottom of the screen. These changes will take several moments to reset.
Chapter 6 — Scanner Support 1551E or 1553 Selected for Scanner Model When “1551E” or “1553” is selected from the Scanner model option (see step 4 above), and the port state is already enabled (see step 5), the process will take several moments to reset. When 1551E or 1553 is successfully connected during this step, the unit will emit some beeps.
Chapter 6 — Scanner Support Note: When selecting either the 1551E or the 1553 Scanner or enabling the scanner port for these scanners, the 700 Computer tries to communicate with the attached scanner. If the scanner is not powered, if the cable is not connected properly, the wrong cable is used, or if the scanner firmware is older than 2.0, and the “Failed to save one or more settings” message appears, then this step failed.
Chapter 6 — Scanner Support Tethered Scanner Supported Symbologies The user interface may allow configuration of PDF417, Micro PDF417, RSS, and Codablock bar code symbologies. However, these symbologies are dependant on what scanner models and firmware versions are in use. See the following table for a guideline and Appendix B, “Bar Code Symbologies” for more information on each supported symbology: You can use a generic ASCII scanner with the 700 Computer.
