Using the Cradle
To communicate through the cradle:
1. Make sure all connections between the cradle and the host
computer are secure. See the Quick Reference Guide that
shipped with your cradle for instructions on setting up the cra-
dle.
2. Power on the host computer, the cradle, and the terminal.
3. Insert the terminal into the cradle.
4. Begin host communications as specified by your application.
Communicating with Printers
The PDT 7500 communicates with IrDA-compliant peripherals
through the IrDA interface in the base of the terminal. To print,
point the PDT 7500’s IrDA port at the IrDA port on the IrDA-
compliant printer from a maximum distance of 39 inches (1 meter)
and run the application’s print function. Printer communication can
also be established through an RS-232 cable connected directly to
the printer.
Using the Touch Screen
Some PDT 7500 terminals are equipped with a Touch Screen, which
has software that allows the stylus to function as a mouse. An
optional stylus is available from Symbol for use with the terminal.
Further use of the stylus function is application-dependent. Refer to
application documentation for more information.
