System Features 4 - 3
Browser Applications
The PocketBrowser development tool allows Web developers to quickly create robust applications that can
include a wide range of advanced data capture capabilities. The PocketBrowser Developer Help provides
information on using each feature of the browser. Each feature includes a sample, however the sample does
not necessarily show the only way to implement each feature.
PocketBrowser extends the core rendering engine functionality of Microsoft PocketIE or Microsoft IE with
Symbol application programming interfaces (APIs). It provides interfaces to device hardware and features
using meta tags and Microsoft ActiveX
®
components designed specifically for Symbol systems.
PocketBrowser offers easy integration with bar code scanners, RFID readers, and other peripherals such as
printers and magnetic stripe readers (MSR) for complete transaction processing.
Loading Additional Fonts on the MK3000
You can program the MK3000 to support additional fonts such as Unicode and double-byte character font.
The MK3000 supports the following system fonts as shipped from the factory. The font files corresponding to
these formats are located in the
\windows folder with .ttf extension.
• Arial
• Comic Sans MS
• Courier New
• Georgia
• Symbol
• Tahoma
• Times New Roman
• Verdana
• Wingding.
The default system font path for these fonts is \windows.
Use one of the following options to load fonts not supplied with the MK3000:
• Change the system font path where the system looks for fonts. For example, to change default system
font path from
\windows to \application\fonts add the following registry to the system along with new fonts
in
\application\fonts:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\FontPath]
"FontPath"="\application\fonts"
Adding this registry changes the entire system fonts directory, so fonts supplied with the OS are no
longer available. To use both the provided system fonts and new fonts, copy the system default fonts to
the new font directory.
• Copy new/alternate fonts to the default \windows directory.
• Copy alternate fonts to the \windows\fonts directory.
Copying new fonts to the \windows or \windows\fonts preserves existing fonts. However the new fonts
consume system RAM as they are part of the ObjectStore.
