2.1.2 Display
Basic Specifications
The QVGA (320 x 240 dots) mode is supported by the terminal.

Table 2.2
Display specification 65,536 colors 2-way TFT LCD* (16 bpp, Red: 5 bits, Green: 6 bits, Blue: 5 bits)
Display size X direction 240 dots
Y direction 320 dots

* Dead Pixels
The LCD panel employed in this product uses high precision and substantial number of components
which commonly cause a small number of the pixels not to light or to remain lit all the time. This is
due to the characteristics of LCD panel yield in accuracy over 99.99% and permissible.

Backlight Brightness
A brightness of the backlight can be changed at the Control Panel.
• Setting can be made in one of nine grades for power source either when the power is provided
by an external power supply (via cradle with AC adaptor connected) or when the power is
provided by the installed lithium-ion battery pack.
• Setting can be made in application by using ExtEscape()API function.
• If the brightness is set to 1 (minimum), the backlight is turned off.
• The default is 9 (maximum) when an external power source is used or 7 when lithium-ion
battery pack is used.

The functions of the System Library relevant to the Backlight Brightness are as follows.
SysGetBLBattery : Retrieves the brightness of screen powered by battery pack.
SysSetBLBattery : Sets up brightness of the screen powered by battery pack.
SysSetBLExpower : Sets up brightness of the backlight powered by external power source.
SysGetBLExpower : Retrieves the brightness of the backlight powered by external power
source.
SysGetBLMaximum : Retrieves the maximum value of brightness for the backlight.

19
Backlight Auto Dimming
The Control Panel can be used to set up whether or not the Auto Dimming function will be used
and the waiting time until when dimming begins. The Auto Dimming is effect only when the
power is provided by the lithium-ion battery pack. It will not become effect when an external
power supply is used.

• If the terminal is left over in idle state - absolutely no key input - while the power is turned on,
the backlight will be automatically dimmed to save the power after a given period of time has
been elapsed.
• When the terminal is in the auto dimmed state, pressing a key will disable the Auto Dimming
function to resume an ordinary brightness.
• While the Auto Dimming function has been set effect, brightness can be set in one of eight
grades. The default is 3.

During the Auto Dimming function being set effect, brightness cannot be set any brighter than the
brightness illuminated by the backlight. The defaults are “Enable the Auto Dimming function”
and “1 minute” for waiting time period until when the Auto Dimming function activates.

Auto Backlight OFF

The Control Panel can be used to set up whether or not the Auto Backlight OFF function will be
used and the waiting time until when the Auto Backlight OFF function activates. The Auto
Backlight OFF function is operable for both when the power is provided by an external power
source and when it is provided by lithium-ion battery pack.

• If the terminal is left over in idle state - absolutely no key input - with the power being turned
on, the backlight will be automatically turned off to save energy.
• When the terminal is in the Auto Backlight OFF state, pressing a key will disable the Auto
Backlight OFF function to resume an ordinary brightness.
• While the power is being provided by lithium-ion battery pack and both the Auto Dimming
function and the Auto Backlight OFF function have been set effect, either one of the functions
with preset time period shorter than the other will have the priority. The default is “Enable the
Auto Backlight OFF function” and “5 minutes for the waiting time” until when the Auto
Backlight OFF function activates.

Flipping Display Screen

Flipping display screen at 90, 180 or 270 degree is supported.
• The System Library can be used to set up flipping the screen at 180 degree in the application.
• ChangeDisplaySettingEx() API function can be used to set up flipping the screen at 90,
180 and 280 degrees in application.

See Microsoft Help for detail about ExtEscape() and ChangeDisplaySettingEx() API
functions.

The functions of the System Library relevant to the “Flipping Display Screen” are as follows.
SysSet180Rotate : Sets up flip angle for the screen.
SysGet180Rotate : Retrieves the status of flip angle for the screen.

20
2.1.3 Keys
Keyboard Layout
The following is the keyboard layout employed in the DT-X7.

Figure 2.1

Important Note
Since the DT-X7 does not feature with a touch panel display, it is not possible to click tab or icon
with stylus on the screen. However, you can direct the cursor pointer with F3 key (similar to Tab
key on PC’s keyboard) or F2 key (similar to Shift+Tab keys).
The mouse emulator preinstalled at the factory in each terminal of DT-X7 series can be invoked
by sequentially pressing Fn key and then 4 key to make the mouse pointer appear at the center of
the screen. It can be freely moved to any direction on the screen you wish with one of 1, 2, 3, 4, 6,
7, 8, and 9 numeric keys. 5 key operates similar to the left-click. For each direction determined by
the numeric keys, see Chapter 5.6 “Mouse Emulator” in this manual.

In this reference manual, all explanations are described assuming that the preinstalled mouse
emulator is being in invoked state.

2.1.6 Memory Management
RAM
The integrated RAM has a total capacity of 64 Mbytes and is used for the following purposes.
• Program memory to be used by the OS and programs.
• Object store used for temporary file saving, etc.
• Other program and OS resident areas beyond the control by the OS.
• Driver work area.

To deploy the OS into the RAM memory area, it takes certain time to start up the terminal for the
first time and also at a time of a full reset. The user can make unrestricted use with the object store,
but data stored in it may be accidentally lost due to battery run down, etc. To avoid such incident
it should be used just as a temporary storage area, and use the FlashDisk to store important data
and files.
It is possible to change the proportional memory allocation between Program memory area and
Storage memory area. To do so, navigate to Settings → Control Panel and then double click
the System icon. This initiates the System Properties screen. In the Memory tab, move the
slid to either side to set your optimum memory allocation. This setting can be also carried out with
the memory setting tool, Setmem.exe.

If you suppress the start up of Internet Explore, you can make the system area smaller and the size
of usable memory bigger. For more detailed information, refer to Chapter 2.1.7 “Disabling Startup
of Internet Explorer (IE)”.

31
FlashDisk
The terminal integrates a 64MB Flash ROM and it is used for the following purposes.
Contrary to RAM disk, content in the FlashDisk is not volatile. Any important data you do not
wish to loose must be stored in this disk. The Storage Manager at the Control Panel conducts
formatting the FlashDisk and control of it.

Boot area : Boot Loader which loads the OS to RAM is stored here.
Compressed OS image : Upon start up the terminal, the Boot Loader will decompress the OS
and load to RAM.
The rest of the OS image : “Execute In Place (XIP)” portion of the OS such as Compact
Framework 2.0 is stored here.
User disk : User area that users can use freely as disk. The initial sizes are as
follows:

DT-X7M10U, DT-X7M10E, -CN, DT-X7M10R, -CN 28.89 MB

2.1.7 Disabling Startup of Internet Explorer (IE)
Internet Explorer (“IE”) requires a large size of memory. The operation speed of the IE can be
very fast if it is loaded in memory prior to starting up. However, this method requires a wide
memory area causing the user memory area to be smaller for the user who does not require the IE.
To solve this problem, a new system is devised. It is a system that makes non-startup of the IE.
The new system hides the IT.EXE, not found under “\Windows” folder as if it has been deleted in
the DT-X7. However, it can start up again if it is set effect.

Notes:
• Perform a full reset on the terminal in order to set the IE effect or to reset. Be sure all
important data must be backed up in the FlashDisk before performing a full reset.
No guaranty of operations in the following cases:
- In case a backup file made in the IE set effect is deployed in the IE set disable.
- In case a backup file made in the IE set disable is deployed in the IE set effect.
• It is possible to confirm the mode, in either the IE effect or IE disable, at time you have started
up by seeking IE.exe with FindFirst. If you start up in the IE disabled, it is recommended to
confirm at the beginning of application program that IE.exe does not exist by carrying out
FindFirst. This way can avoid mistakes.

Steps to Change the Startup Mode

1. Start up the menu below by pressing reset switch on the back of the terminal while holding the
Power and Enter keys down together.

Checking the Current Status

To check if the selected modules are loaded or not, check the existence of a file which is included
in each module. After the OS is loaded, checking the file existence is carried out with
FindFirstFile of Win32API that can seek files included in the modules.

Table 2.14
Module File to check
IE module \Windows\IE.exe

34
Sample Program
HANDLE hFile;
WIN32_FIND_DATA FileFindData;

hFile = FindFirstFile(TEXT("\\Windows\\mshtml.dll"), &FileFindData);

if(hFile == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
{
// The IE module is not loaded.
MessageBox(NULL, TEXT("FindFile ERROR!"), TEXT("LoadModule"), MB_OK);
}
else
{
// The IE module is loaded.
MessageBox(NULL, TEXT("Find a file!"), TEXT("LoadModule"), MB_OK);
}

35
2.1.8 Reset
To reset the terminal, there are three ways to perform, Soft reset, Full reset, and Hard reset. The
following table shows memory states which are initialized by each reset mode.

Table 2.15
RAM Others
Storage
Clock
Reset Mode Program memory FlashDisk Individual Distributor
(RTC)
Memory (Including ID ID
registry)
Soft Reset Initialized No No No No No
Full Reset Initialized Initialized No No No No
Hard Reset Initialized Initialized No Initialized No No
No; the content in the memory will not be initialized by the reset.

Soft Reset
The operation requires pressing the reset switch on the back of the terminal. It initializes the
program memory and may corrupt data or files being accessed. Thus, it is necessary to save data
or files prior to the Soft reset.

Full Reset
This operation occurs if both Power and CLR keys are held down at the same time and then the
reset switch is pressed for a period of one second or longer while the terminal is in operation.
Before a full reset takes place, the following messages in Figures 2.5 and 2.6 appear to confirm
whether it is okay to continue the reset of operations.

Figure 2.5

Figure 2.6

The Trigger R key is used to confirm the Full reset. Pressing the Trigger R key twice initializes
the user memory (data storage memory and program execution memory).

36
Hard Reset
The OS performs the Soft reset and Full reset, in other words, those are carried out in software
operation. If there is no way to reset the terminal when the OS falls into freezing state by some
reason, that is, the reset routine in the OS cannot run. The Hard reset is the one that can free the
terminal from freezing state. When the hardware detects “Fn key, Trigger Center key and Reset
switch held down”, the RAM and Clock (RTC) will be initialized and then the system restarts.

Power-on Reset
This state occurs when the Power switch is turned on after all the batteries including battery pack
and memory backup battery are demounted and then put back into the terminal. This is the same
state in the Hard reset. The OS carries out the same process with that of the Hard reset.

37
2.1.9 Memory Corruption Check
At a time of reset under WindowsCE OS, RAM data corruption is detected if any. If RAM data
corruption is detected, the memory will be unconditionally initialized without issuing a warning
message to the user.
To prevent this memory initialization without issuing a message, check the status of data used for
memory check in the driver before the process for OS booting up starts up. If a memory
corruption is detected, the following message asking for confirmation of whether it is okay to
implement recovery (reset) will appear.

Figure 2.7

The Trigger R key is pressed to continue the reset of operations (reset). Once the Trigger R key is
pressed while the confirmation message is on the screen, the reset process will be carried out and
the recovery process is attempted.

5. Minimum number of digits for Interleaved 2of5 symbology
The minimum number of digits can be set to two digits when scanning Interleaved 2of5
symbology is set effect only.
6. Minimum and maximum numbers of digits for IATA symbology
The minimum and maximum numbers of digits can be set to 15 digits and 17 digits
respectively if the IATA check digit calculation is set to either “Coupon number and
Calculate data segment” or “Calculate just data segment”.

43
 7. Maximum number of digits for RSS Expanded and RSS Expanded Stacked symbologies
The maximum number of digits is 74 for numeric data only or 41 for alphabet data only.
8. The maximum numbers of digits for each symbology in Table 2.25 are based on the optimum
condition of each element such as bar code print quality, resolution, PCS, brightness
surrounded, and distance between the terminal and the bar code. Depending on these elements,
even if one of the maximum digits in the table is set to a bar code symbology, you may face to
a difficulty to scan an individual bar code of that symbology.
9. If IATA symbology with its valid minimum number of digits is set to one, the chance of
misreading will increase. If there is no need to scan a bar code of the symbology with the
minimum number of digits set, do not change the default setting which is 4.
10. The RSS symbologies change its name to “GS1 DataBar”.
y RSS-14 → GS1 DataBar Omnidirectional
y RSS Limited → GS1 DataBar Limited
y RSS Expanded → GS1 DataBar Expanded
y RSS-14 Stacked → GS1 DataBar Stacked
y RSS Expanded Stacked → GS1 DataBar Expanded Stacked

Check Digit Calculation

A bar code value is calculated in accordance with method, and then the calculation result and the
check character at a specific position are compared. If they match each other, the scanning data is
deemed correct. The calculation method differs according to each symbology.

Readable Digits
The actual readable digit on a bard code differs depending on the resolution and the scanning
distance between the terminal and the bar code.

44
2.2.2 Scanning Method
The laser scanner has “scanning state” (emits laser beam to read a bar code) and “standby state”
(scanning is halted and in standby state). These two states are controlled to start scanning bar code
and stop the scanning.

Notes:
1. The scanning method set by default is with “Continuous scanning (controlled with Trigger
key)” and “No. of preset times for continuous scanning = 1”.
2. In condition where the parameter in the registry has been set, performing a full reset on the
terminal makes emitting the laser beam is turned off intermittently between laser emissions
possible.

2.2.3 Scanning Parameters
Conditions that allow scanning a symbology in specific mode can be set for each readable
symbology.

Readable Symbology
Bar code symbologies that are enabled or disabled for scanning can be specified. If only specific
symbologies are to be scanned, set “Enable” for scanning on these symbologies only and
“Disable” on other symbologies. This will reduce decode processing time and lower the error rate.
The default is “Enable scanning on all the symbologies”.

Readable Digits
The no. of readable digits can be set for each symbology. If only specific no. of digits is to be
scanned, specify it for each readable symbology. This will reduce decode processing time and
lower the error rate.

Enable or Disable Check Digit

Check digit can be set to “Enable” or “Disable” for each readable symbology. Setting the check
digit will lower the error rate.

Output Buffer
The Laser Scanner scans a bar code and outputs the scanned data using one of the following
methods described in the table.

Table 2.42
Output Method Description
OBR buffer output - Scanned data is output to memory in the laser scanner driver.
(see note) - Scanned data already output to the memory can be captured using the
Laser Scanner Library.
Key message output - Scanned data can be output with the window message to the specified
window handle.
- The window handle is specified using the Laser Scanner Library.
Clipboard output - Scanned result is copied to the clipboard and then output to the edit
control focused by caret.
Keyboard output - Scanned result is output as a keyboard event to the edit control focused
by caret.
Note:
When a bar code is scanned, its decoded data including the symbology and data size are stored in
the memory of the laser scanner driver. This output method has the following features.
• Can capture the bar code symbology and data size.
• Can capture the data at any timing the user prefers.
• The length of one piece of data is up to 98 characters (maximum) and up to 9 labels can be
stored in the memory. If any new data scanned after exceeding over 9 labels stored already in
the memory will be disregarded.

The functions of the Laser Scanner Library relevant to the Output Buffer are as follows.
OBROpen : Sets up scanning enable status.
OBRSetBuffType : Sets up decoding data output mode.
OBRGetBuffType : Retrieves decoding data output mode.
OBRGetc : Retrieves one character from OBR buffer.
OBRGets : Reads character string for one bar code from decoding data storage buffer.

• Scanning is succeeded.
• Preset timeout period has elapsed.
• OBR buffer becomes a full.
• An abnormal condition is detected in the scan module.

55
Scan Completion Notification
When scanning is complete, a notification is issued to the application using one of the methods
described in the table. Each notification method can be set to “Enable” or “Disable”. The default
is “Notification with window message”.

Table 2.43
Method Description
Window message A window message is issued to the specified window handle. Also, the
conditions for scanning completion can be retrieved by referring to wParam
parameter of the window message.
Event A predefined event in the registry is issued. The conditions of scanning
completion can be retrieved using the Laser Scanner Library.
None No message or event is issued when scanning is complete.

The functions of the Laser Scanner Library relevant to the “Scan Completion Notification” are as
follows.
OBRSetScanningNotification : Sets up scanning complete notification.
OBRGetScanningNotification : Retrieves scanning complete notification.

Event Name
The predefined event name which is issued for event notification can be changed in the registry
described below. If there is no value set in the registry, the default event name,
OBRScanningEvent, will take place.

Capturing Event Factors

When a notification for scanning completion is issued with “Event”, factors which made the
scanning succeeded are automatically recorded. The recorded factors are also retrieved using the
Laser Scanner Library.

The function of the Laser Scanner Library relevant to the “Capturing Event Factors” is as follows.
OBRGetLastEventStatus : Retrieves last event status.

56
Setting Specific Operation Unique to Code128 Symbology
The terminal supports specific operations unique to the Code128 symbology that are initiated
when certain conditions are met at a time of scanning a symbol of the Code128 symbology.

Table 2.45
Symbology Condition Performance
Code128 At time of scanning a symbol of Scanned symbol data including the FNC2
Code128 that includes the FNC2 function character is temporarily stored in
function character. the scanner until when a next symbol is
scanned. The stored data is automatically
added at the forefront of the subsequent
scanned symbol data to be output. (note 1)
At time of scanning a symbol of The value “128” is added automatically to
Code128 symbology that includes the a data character in ASCII of scanned
FNC4 function character(s). symbol located next to the FNC4 function
character. If two sequentially laid FNC4
function characters in a symbol are
scanned, either other group of two
sequentially laid FNC4 function characters
within the same symbol are read, or “128”
is added automatically to each subsequent
ASCII character data laid next to the two
FNC4 function characters until the last.
Notes:
1. The size of combined symbol data including the FNC2 function character is limited to 98
characters (maximum). If the size of any combined symbol data exceeds the maximum number
of characters, the previous combined symbol data that have been scanned right before the
exceeded combined symbol data are output.
2. The DT-X7M10U always outputs combined result when Code128 symbology with FNC2
function character attached is decoded. It does not output data separately.

The functions of the Laser Scanner Library relevant to the “Setting Specific Operation Unique to
Code128 Symbology” are as follows.
OBRSetCode128Option : Sets up scanning with Code128 symbology.
OBRGetCode128Option : Retrieves decode options of Code128 symbology.

57
2.2.5 Scan Result Notification
When scanning a bar code is complete, a notification about the scanning result can be indicated to
the user via either LED or buzzer or vibration. Each indication method can be set to “Enable” or
“Disable”.

Notes:
1. Scanning will fail when one of the errors occurs.
• A bar code with the number of digits which exceeds over the specified range is scanned.
• Check digit calculation error occurs.
• Full ASCII conversion error occurs in scanning bar code of Code39 symbology or Code128
symbology.
2. If the “OBR buffer output” method has been set effect as scanned data output method, the
condition occurs if scanning takes place while data for 9 labels are stored already in the OBR
buffer.

The functions of the Laser Scanner Library relevant to the “Scan Result Notification” are as
follows.
OBRSetLED : Sets up LED notification.
OBRGetLED : Retrieves the status of LED notification.
OBRSetBuzzer : Sets up buzzer notification.
OBRGetBuzzer : Retrieves the status of buzzer notification.
OBRSetVibrator : Sets up vibrator notification.
OBRGetVibrator : Retrieves the status of vibrator notification.

58
2.2.6 Expanded Features
Scan Width Control
If the laser emits on bar codes located near each other, scanning may fail. By narrowing the laser
beam emission width, scanning can be focused onto only one bar code, not onto the other one
located near by. The laser beam emission width can be set to one of the four modes as shown in
Figure 2.8. The Laser Scanner Library can be used to set it. The default is “No control on laser
beam emission width”.

• No control on laser beam emission width (default)

• Wide
• Standard
• Narrow

照射幅制御なし
No laser width control

No control Wide Standard Narrow

Figure 2.8

The setting values are stored in EEPROM, and read out at time of resetting. Laser calibration (see
note below) can be used to adjust each setting value for the laser beam emission width. The setting
values adjusted must be registered in the registry. The values in the registry will have the priority.

Notes:
• Each scanner module integrated in the terminal has an individual performance different from
others. To minimize this characteristic difference, the laser calibration must be performed on
each terminal using the dedicated reference bar code.
• The DT-X7M10U does not support the Scan Width Control function.
• Setting up the scan width control function in one of four modes while the setting gain (see
page 62) is set up in Auto mode may cause a deterioration of scanning bar codes that are
printed in a poor quality. If you need to set up the scan width control function, select the
setting gain in Mode 0 to Mode 3. Or, if you select the setting gain in Auto mode, select the
scan width control function in “No control on laser beam emission width” mode only.

The functions of the Laser Scanner Library relevant to the “Scan Width Control” are as follows.
OBRSetSwingAngle : Sets up scan width control mode.
OBRGetSwingAngle : Retrieves the status of scan width control mode.

Scan Verification Beam
If scanning takes place with the laser beam emitted onto multiple bar codes located near each
other, it is difficult to distinguish by the user which bar code was correctly scanned. In such the
condition, if a laser beam can be emitted again on to the same bar code verifying the actual
scanned bar code the user wishes to scan and a notification about it is issued to the user, the
scanning can be succeeded without having any difficulty or confusion. The Laser Scanner Library
can be used to set “Enable” or “Disable” for this Scan Verification Beam function. The default
is “Disable the scan verification beam function”.

Note:
The DT-X7M10U does not support the function.

The functions of the Laser Scanner Library relevant to the “Scan Verification Beam” are as
follows.
OBRSetFocus : Sets up Scan Verification Beam.
OBRGetFocus : Retrieves the status of Scan Verification Beam.

Power ON with Trigger Key

If a Trigger key has been set to “Enable turning on the power with Trigger key”, the power can be
turned on (while the power was being turned off) when it is pressed. This function allows the user
to achieve sequential operations with only one action, turn on the power → press Trigger key →
scan a bar code. This feature is a perfect idea when the user wishes to resume scanning after the
power has been turned off. The default is “Disable turning on the power with Trigger key”.

Setting Trigger Key

Various keys such as Enter key, Cursor → key, Cursor ← key, Cursor ↑ key, Cursor ↓ key,
Trigger R key, Trigger L key, and Trigger center key on the front and sides of the terminal can be
set as scanning trigger key. The default is only Trigger R and L keys.

The functions of the Laser Scanner Library relevant to the “Setting Trigger Key” are as follows.
OBRSetScanningKey : Sets up Trigger keys.
OBRGetScanningKey : Retrieves the status of Trigger keys.

60
Noise Filter
If the background of a bar code is white color, a noise tends to be generated easily during
scanning causing the error rate to increase. To reduce such the noise, the Noise Filter function is
available with the terminal. Two methods, software noise filter and ASIC noise filter, are
available. However, the ASIC noise filter has been set always effect by the system. Thus, it is not
possible for the user to reset it in the Read operation tab of Setting Scanner (see Chapter 3.21),
and the explanation is omitted in this reference manual.

Setting Gain
The gain setting, Mode 0 to Mode 3 and Auto Mode, integrated on the laser module can be
selected. Selecting an optimum gain mode enhances scanning performance especially for a bar
code distanced far away from the terminal and a bar code printed in low resolution (“PCS”).

Table 2.48
Gain Mode Description
Mode 0 • Standard mode
(Default) This mode generates ordinary scanning performance for bar codes with various printing
qualities and in various scanning conditions.
Mode 1 • Low sensitive mode
This mode enhances scanning performance for bar codes especially with low PCS. However,
for bar codes with other levels of PCS, the mode is not recommended.
Mode 2 • High sensitive mode
This mode enhances scanning performance for bar codes distanced far away from the terminal.
However, for bar codes distanced near the terminal the performance is relatively inferior.
Mode 3 • Super sensitive mode
This mode enhances scanning performance for bar codes with thin white bars or black thin bars
or stained bars. For other conditions, the mode is not recommended.
Auto Mode • Automatic gain change mode
This mode carries out the gain modes one by one set in the registry below to perform scanning.
If decoding a scanned bar code succeeds in one of the gain modes set in the registry, that gain
mode is memorized and fixed temporarily for subsequent scanning with a few bar codes. This
allows changing gain mode by reducing the deterioration of response from scanning. In this
gain mode, the rate of success in scanning can be improved for bar codes in print quality and
scanning conditions that the gain mode is good at. Contrarily to other gain modes, it may cause
the response from scanning to be worse.

Registry for automatic gain change mode:

Location : [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\CASIO\Laser]
Parameter: GainPtn=A (DWORD value)
8 : Gain Mode 3
4 : Gain Mode 2
2 : Gain Mode 1
1 : Gain Mode 0

• Select one of the listed values above for the parameter A. Set a sum of values in the
parameter if you select several modes at a time.
Ex. Modes 0, 1, 2, 3 => Values 8+4+2+1 => 15 => Set “15” in the parameter A.
• Default is 15. The gain mode changes Mode 0 to 3 and then Auto Mode.
• Change made in the registry will be effect by performing a reset on the terminal.
• If the Auto Mode is set without the registry being existed, all the gain modes are
automatically performed one by one.

62
Notes:
• The DT-X7M10U does not support the gain control.
• Setting up the setting gain in Auto mode while the scan width control function (see page 59)
is set up may cause a deterioration of scanning bar codes that are printed in a poor quality. If
you need to set up the scan width control function, select the setting gain in Mode 0 to Mode
3. Or, if you select the Auto mode of the setting gain, select the scan width control function
in “No control on laser beam emission width” mode only.

The functions of the Laser Scanner Library relevant to the “Setting Gain” are as follows.
OBRSetGainControl : Sets up gain control.
OBRGetGainControl : Retrieves the gain control.

Configuration File
The various setting values can be stored in a file and resumed. The setting file storage location and
its name are “\FlashDisk\System Settings\OBRDRV.ini”. If there is no such configuration file, the
default values are used to initiate the scanning.

The functions of the Laser Scanner Library relevant to the “Configuration File” are as follows.
OBRSaveConfigFile : Saves all settings for the scanner driver into configuration file.
OBRLoadConfigFile : Reads and loads the configuration file into the scanner driver.
OBRSetDefaultSymbology : Sets up default status of the scanner driver.

Dual Decoders System
The dual decoders system initially decodes a scanned bar code data using the standard decoder,
but if decoding fails, it will use the following additional decoder to scan the same bar code. This
dual decoders system supports the bar code symbologies listed below.

• Code39
• Code128
• EAN

With the decoding system used for the previous Casio handheld terminals, decoding is processed
with a mean value of one module adding bar thickness of each black bar and white bar for one
character when performing binaryzation or quardruplzation of bar thickness. However, this
method does not accurately decode a bar code if it is formed with unbalanced bar thickness
between white bars and black bars.
The dual decoders system can solve it by calculating separately each mean value of black bars and
white bars for such a bar code with unbalanced thickness of white and black bars by changing the
threshold level of decoding.

Note:
The DT-X7M10U does not support the dual decoders system.

The functions of the Laser Scanner Library relevant to the “Dual Decoders System” are as
follows.
OBRSetDecodeLevel : Sets up decoding level.
OBRGetDecodeLevel : Retrieves the decoding level.

Customizing the Decoder

According to the scan environment and the bar code printed material’s quality, the decoder can be
customized to efficiently improve scanning performance. First, to maintain scanning performance
with the normal decoding logic, perform decoding using with the decoder and if it does not
succeed the decoding, customize it so that the decoding can be performed for a better scanning
performance.

Table 2.50 Customizing the elements

Element Description

values of the value and then decode it.
thickness/thinness of a bar. Value for thickening or thinning each bar can be changed.
Note:
The DT-X7M10U does not support the customization function.

72
Changing the Threshold Values for Right and Left Margins
When a bar code is printed inside of quadrangle, scanning may not be possible because there is
not enough left and/or right marginal space. By making change on the right/left marginal
threshold values, scanning a bar code becomes possible. See the table below.

Table 2.51
When the left marginal
space is narrow.

When the right marginal space is

narrow.

When both right and left

marginal spaces are narrow.

The functions of the Laser Scanner Library relevant to the “Changing the threshold values for
Right and Left margins” are as follows.
OBRSetMarginCheckRatio : Sets up a threshold value for right and left side space margin.
OBRGetMarginCheckRatio : Retrieves the threshold value for right and left side space margin.

Changing the Thickness of Bars

If bars that form a bar code are printed thick because blurring or scratchy white bars (spaces
between two bars) are printed thinly, the bar ratio will not be correct causing scanning incorrectly.
Adjusting the thickness of these bars makes scanning the bar code possible. This method is
applicable if all bars of a bar code are either too thick or too thin because the method is applied to
the whole of a bar code.

The functions of the Laser Scanner Library relevant to the “Changing the thickness of bars” are as
follows.
OBRSetBarWidthAdjustment : Sets up the adjustment of thickness of bars.
OBRGetBarWidthAdjustment : Retrieves the adjustment set for the thickness of bars.

73
Decoder Learning Function
This function is to automatically change parameters for criteria and threshold level used to judge
on decoding bar code data so that scanning a bar code printed in poor quality can be improved.
However, after changing the relevant parameters for the Decoder Learning function, the
individual scanning characteristics of each terminal may be degraded. To avoid such degrade, the
integrated decoding system starts decoding with the standard decoder and then changes with the
customized decoder if decoding at the first stage fails. If the decoding at the end of the process
does not succeed, the Decoder Learning function is used to ensure it to be succeeded. Setting
either “Enable” or “Disable” for the function to be effect can be set. See the decoding process
flow in the following figure.

Figure 2.9

The functions of the Laser Scanner Library relevant to the Decoder Learning function are as
follows.
OBRSetDecodeLearningMode : Sets up the decoder learning mode.
OBRGetDecodeLearningMode : Retrieves the decoder learning mode.

74
Parameter Precedence Change
The operating order of the relevant parameters used in success of decoding bar code data with the
Decoder Learning function can be advanced for precedence. This advance will result in quick
response of continuously scanning multiple bar codes with similar quality. Since the precedence
order is stored in the RAM memory, it will be reset to the default order if a reset is performed on
the terminal.

Erratic Scanning Avoidance

This function retrieves the bar code quality rank by calculating the decoder easiness when
scanning a bar code. If the quality rank of scanned bar code is relatively low, the error rate
becomes high causing an erratic scanning to occur. To suppress the error rate, the function
automatically makes judgment on scanning with such the bar code as “Failure”.

Settings
The Decoder Learning function can be switched to either “Enable” or “Disable”. This switch
can be made using the functions or settings file provided by the Laser Scanner Library.

Note:
Enabling the Decoder Learning function improves the scanning performance of poorly printed
bar codes. However, it may also increase the likelihood of erroneous scanning depending on the
bar code. The following settings should therefore be used in conjunction with the Decoder
Learning function in order to prevent erroneous scanning.
• Turn off the scanning function for all types of symbologies other than those to be scanned.
• Turn off the scanning function for all digits with a number of places exceeding the actual
number being used (applies to symbologies for which the number of places can be set).
• Set the Check Digit function to “Enable” (applies to symbologies for which the Check Digit
function can be set).

Learning function.

The maximum numbers of digits listed in the above table apply to cases where the entire
symbology consists of numeric characters only. The maximum number is reduced to two third
(2/3) of each maximum no. of digits for alpha-numeric characters; and reduced to one third (1/3)
for Kanji characters and binary numbers. These are merely reference, and the actual range of
readable symbologies varies according to the conditions (resolution, PCS, etc.) of individual
symbol and the surrounding environment.

2.3.2 Scanning Method
Multi-step Read
This function continuously performs decoding as long as one of the R/L Trigger keys is held down.
Once bar codes are decoded they are not read any more. This function is useful for reading all bar
codes without repeating the same action when more than one bar code is printed on one slip.

Package Read
This function outputs the read result retrieved from more than one bar code in a package. With the
multi-step read function, once bar codes are decoded they are not read any more. This is useful for
handling multiple pieces of bar code data. However, if any of the following unfavorable
conditions occur, all the bar codes may not be read in one capture:
- The objective bar code of read is not contained in the captured image.
- The focus is not sharp enough.
- The exposure is not correct.

Note:
The terminal has been designed so that a maximum of 10 bar codes or 4,095 digits of bar codes
can be read. However, it is not recommended for the user to use the package read mode for
reading bar codes consisting of a large number of digits. If the number of bar codes is greater than
4, or if the total number of digits is greater than 100, use the multiple-step read mode as much as
possible.

2.3.3 Scanning Parameters
Conditions that allow scanning a symbology in specific mode can be set for each readable
symbology.

Readable Symbology
Bar code symbologies that are enabled or disabled for scanning can be specified. If only specific
symbologies are to be scanned, set “Enable” for scanning on these symbologies only and
“Disable” on the other symbologies. This reduces decode processing time and lowers the error
rate. The default is “Enable scanning on all the symbologies”.

Readable Digits
The no. of readable digits can be set for each symbology. If only specific no. of digits is to be
scanned, specify it for each readable symbology. This reduces decode processing time and lowers
the error rate.

Enable or Disable Check Digit

Check digit can be set to “Enable” or “Disable” for each readable symbology. Setting the check
digit will lower the error rate.

2.3.5 Expanded Features
Decoder Customize
This function adjusts the scanning speed to facilitate scanning of hard-to-read symbols.

Decoder Deliberation Levels

The level of deliberation with which symbols are scanned can be set at five different levels.
Setting the level to “Very Quick” or “Quick” limits the decoding ability of symbols which can be
decoded but increases the decoding speed. Alternatively, setting the level to “Deliberate” or “Very
Deliberate” allows many symbols to be read but slows down the decoding speed.

Table 2.58

The functions of the Imager Library relevant to the “Print Weight” are as follows.
IMGSetPrintWeight : Sets up print weight of bar thickness used for decoding symbol.
IMGGetPrintWeight : Retrieves print weight of bar thickness used for decoding symbol.

Decode Window Function

This is a function that specifies an area for decoding bar code located in the center of the aimer
emitted by the CMOS Imager. It is useful for decoding a specific bar code symbol only among
plural bar codes printed on same paper sheet. If either Mode 1 or Mode 2 of the parameters is
specified in the Decode Window function, the decoding area is automatically determined to
scan only a bar code located near the center. Setting the User Setting effect in the Decode
Window function allows an area of decoding to be specified with X and Y coordinates.

Decode Window function
Disable Disable the Decode Window function.
Mode 1 Scan a single bar code located in the center area of the aimer.
Mode 2 Scan Composite code located in the center area of the aimer.
User Setting Specify decode area with X and Y coordinates.

If the Decode Window function is set for scanning a bar code, a bar code or a part of the bar
code that is within the aimer’s area (see Figure 2.11) is scanned, and other bar codes outside of the
area are not scanned. For example, in Figure 2.11, bar code A cannot be scanned because the
entire bar code is outside of the aimer area, but bar code B can be scanned because a part of the
bar code is within the area.

The entire bar code is outside of the area.

Complementary Scanning Functions

Automatic Linking of Combined Symbols

The CMOS Imager provides support for combining symbols. When scanning the following
combined symbols, the scanned data is stored in the internal buffer and all of the data from
combined symbols or all scanned symbols is combined and output.
Combined symbols can only be scanned when the decoding mode is set to “Normal Scan”. Note
that combined symbols cannot be scanned in “Multi-step Scan” and “Package Scan” modes.

Table 2.61
Symbol Target Method
Code93 Code93 bar codes with a When scanning symbols whose lead begins with a space, the
space for leading data scanned data is stored in the internal buffer without being output.
Furthermore, when continuously scanning symbols starting with a
space, the data is combined in the internal buffer in the order that
it was scanned and is not output.
Finally, when scanning symbols other than those whose lead
begins with a space, it is combined with the internally stored data
and output.
Code49 Code49 bar codes with Combination method same as for Code 93. Different to Code93
lead starting with mode in that the combined symbol lead starts with M=1.
1(M=1)
QR Code QR Code including Indicators displaying the number of symbol divisions and the
combination identifier. sequential number of the symbol are stored in the combined QR
Code. The decoder is therefore able to combine and output all
data in the order of the indicators upon scanning all of the
symbols.

Binary Data Scanning

The CMOS Imager is able to output data scanned from symbols not only in standard character
strings but also in binary data. It is therefore possible to scan binary data of encoded data, images
and audio as well as character strings delimited by NULL characters.

The function of the Imager Library relevant to the “Binary Data Scanning” is as follows.
IMGWaitForDecodeRaw : Carries out decoding symbol including its binary data.

89
Capturing Image
This function is used to capture image data and save it as a JPEG file. Using the function together
with the JPEG Library, the captured image data is output as image data in either 2-gray scale or
256-gray scale. The captured image data can also be output in low resolution by reducing its size.
The following table shows the reductions and sizes.

Table 2.62
Reduction 1/1, 1/2, 1/4
Size 1/1 reduction 752 x 480 pixels
1/2 reduction 376 x 240 pixels
1/4 reduction 188 x 120 pixels
Partial extraction is possible.
Scale 2- or 256-gray scale

The functions of the Imager Library and JPEG Library relevant to the “Capturing Image” are as
follows.
IMGGetImage : Captures still image.
JPGEncodeToFile : Encodes RGB data or YUV data to output the result as a JPEG file.
JPGEncodeToFileEx : Encodes RGB data or YUV data to output the result as a JPEG file. It
specifies “with thumbnail” or “without thumbnail”.

90
Extracting Signature
This function scans both symbol and signature at one time and outputs the symbol data and
indexed signature at the same time. The position and size of a signature can be specified in the
user application based on the position of the symbol.

The function automatically corrects the up and down positions of the captured symbol in
correspondence with the up and down positions of the image data even if it has been captured
upside down or diagonally, and then outputs it.

Figure 2.12

• Supported symbols

concurrently running program.

The functions of the Imager Library relevant to the “Streaming Display” are as follows.
IMGStartStream : Starts streaming images.
IMGGetStreamData : Retrieves data of streaming images.
IMGStopStream : Stops streaming images.

Illumination LED and Aimer

The terminal integrates the illumination LED for lighting and the Aimer for focusing a symbol to
scan. Setting the intensity of the illumination LED to zero will turn off.
This setting is useful when the terminal is used outdoors where the illumination LED is not
needed, or when a stamp in red is to be read.

The functions of the Imager Library relevant to the “Illumination LED and Aimer” are as follows.
IMGAimerOn : Turns on or off the Aimer.
IMGIlluminationOn : Turns on or off the illumination LED.

Imager’s APO
This function will shut down the power automatically to the CMOS Imager if it has not been used
(reading a symbol, capturing image, extracting signature, streaming) for a while.
After activating the APO (Automatic Power OFF) function, the imager’s power can be turned on
again if one of the following functions is invoked. The time period of the APO function can be set
up in the range of 0 to 1,800 seconds. Specifying “0” will disable it.
The power consumption by the imager can be curbed while the APO function is activating.
However, note that it takes about 30 milliseconds to put the power back on.

The functions of the Imager Library relevant to the “Imager’s APO” are as follows.
IMGSetImagerAPO : Sets up time period for Auto Power OFF.
IMGGetImagerAPO : Retrieves time period for Auto Power Off.

92
Configuration File
The various setting values made at Imager Setting of the Control Panel can be stored in an
INI-type file and resumed. The configuration file storage location and its name are
“\FlashDisk\System Settings\ IMGSet.ini”.

By calling IMGLoadConfigFile function, the content in the configuration file is deployed into
the Imager, or the default values are used to initiate the Imager if there is no such the
configuration file.

The functions of the Imager Library relevant to the “Configuration File” are as follows.
IMGLoadConfigFile : Sets up the Imager using configuration file.
IMGSaveConfigFile : Retrieves the Imager settings and saves into configuration file.

The setting in the configuration file is divided into two parts, the setting for scanning bar codes
and the other for common operations. See the next three pages.

2.5 IrDA

2.5.1 Communication Speeds

The IrDA supports the following physical communication speeds.

Table 2.71
Via SIR FIR
IrDA protocol 9600, 19.2K, 38.4K, 57.6K, 115.2K bps 4M bps
RAW IR 9600, 19.2K, 38.4K, 57.6K, 115.2K bps -
Notes:
• A speed of communication via IrDA protocol is automatically determined by negotiation with
the partner device.
• The maximum communication speed supported commonly by both parties (the terminal and
the partner device) will be determined as communication speed.
• Communication speed cannot be set in application.

2.5.2 COM Port

COM ports used with IrDA are as follows.

Table 2.72
IrDA protocol COM3
RAW IR COM4
Notes:
• When you create a communication program directly in application program to establish
connection with an IrDA device, it is recommended to use IrSock APIs instead of using one
of COM ports in the table above. For information about IrSock, refer to MSDN web site.
• It is not recommended to establish communication via COM3. Because severe communication
control including obtaining acknowledgement whether the connection is established or not
cannot be possible. If using the COM3 is inevitable, well-managed system design and
thorough verification on the designed system including controlling communication at the
upper layer protocol are necessary.
• The COM4 port is used to send and receive raw data directly via Infrared without using any
protocol. It is used to establish connection with a device which complies with the Infrared
physical layer specification but does not integrate the IrDA protocol in it. The use of this port
is not recommended because that raw data is exchanged via the Infrared, there may be cases
that stable communication is not carried out due to communication partner or communication
speed used at the upper layer or a match of communication protocols, etc. If use of the COM4
port is inevitable, well-managed system design and thorough verification on the designed
system including controlling communication at the upper layer protocol are necessary.

2.6 Bluetooth

2.6.1 Basic Functions

Master
The master establishes a connection with Bluetooth equipment in slave mode waiting for
connection with the master.

Client (Slave)
The client (slave) becomes in waiting mode for communication initiated by the master.

Security, Encryption
The terminal performs security (PassKey exchange) and encryption as laid down in the Bluetooth
standard.

AFH
This function automatically or manually limits and controls radio wave frequency band to be
employed in Bluetooth communication.

Fast Connection
This is to convert radio frequency for Bluetooth communication into transmission pattern which
allows connection establishment quickly.

WakeOn Bluetooth
This function establishes communication with a Bluetooth equipment that is being in suspended
mode and resumes the communication operation with that partner Bluetooth equipment.

EDR (Enhanced Date Rate)

If the communication partner supports also EDR, the EDR is set as radio wave type automatically
by negotiation with the partner device. There is no setting required for the EDR mode.
Communication seed via the EDR between two terminals is approximately 500 Kbps maximum.

103
2.6.2 Communication Profiles
The Bluetooth profiles described in the table are supported.

Table 2.73
Function Purpose
GAP Used in the substructure segment of Bluetooth communications such as
(General Accessible Profile) device discovery, link establishment and security.
SDP Used to search for currently usable services provided by the partner

2.6.3 Security
This feature supports security functions laid down in the Bluetooth standard. The Bluetooth
security is divided into authentication and encryption.

These are realized by the use of PassKey (otherwise known as PIN code). PassKey is a shared
(common) authentication key used when forming a connection and trust relationship (bonding)
with Bluetooth equipment. A maximum of 16 characters (in ASCII code) can be used, but there
may be limitations on the no. of digits and usable characters due to the specifications of partner
Bluetooth equipment. Also PassKey input must be done within 30 seconds from a time when
PassKey input request is generated. Note that PassKey input is not required once “device trust”
has been established with Bluetooth equipment in previous connection. However, the partner
Bluetooth equipment must have also the trust relationship in memory.

Encryption is carried out using a link key generated after PassKey exchange and a cipher key
generated from a 128-bit random number. Here, the partner Bluetooth equipment also must
support the encryption. PassKey exchange is required for Bluetooth connection when encryption
is set enabled.

2.6.4 COM Port

The following are the COM ports used with Bluetooth.

It will turn on the power to the Bluetooth module integrated in the terminal and initialize the
Bluetooth protocol stack.

The function of the Bluetooth Library relevant to the “Opening the Bluetooth (Initializing)” is
as follows.
BTInitialize : Initializes Bluetooth protocol stack.

2. Searching a Bluetooth equipment

Searches a Bluetooth equipment using the Bluetooth tool or the Bluetooth Library. This sends
out an equipment search radio wave and captures information from Bluetooth equipment
operable in the vicinity.

The function of the Bluetooth Library relevant to the “Searching a Bluetooth equipment” is as
follows.
BTGetDeviceInfo : Retrieves device information about Bluetooth device to be connected.

3. Capturing service information

Captures service information using either the Bluetooth tool or the Bluetooth Library. This
captures the current usable service (profile) information of the partner Bluetooth equipment.

The function of the Bluetooth Library relevant to the “Capturing service information” is as
follows.
BTGetServiceInfo : Retrieves service information for Bluetooth device that communicates.

4. Security authentication with PassKey exchange

The partner Bluetooth equipment may request a PassKey at a time of capturing service
information and establishing Bluetooth connection. In case the Bluetooth tool is used, the
same PassKey is input for both Bluetooth equipments (the terminal and the partner Bluetooth
equipment) when a dialogue window appears requesting PassKey input. In case the Bluetooth
Library is used, the PassKey must be set in advance by carrying out the relative functions for
setting PassKey.

The function of the Bluetooth Library relevant to the “Security authentication with PassKey
exchange” is as follows.
BTSetPassKey : Sets up Pass key.

106
5. Establishing the connection
Establishes a Bluetooth connection using either the Bluetooth tool or the Bluetooth Library.
After the connection has been established, communication in Bluetooth can be continued using
the selected profile until the connection is terminated.

The functions of the Bluetooth Library relevant to the “Establishing the connection” are as
follows.
BTConnectSerial : Establishes connection using Bluetooth virtual serial profile.
BTConnectPAN : Establishes connection using Bluetooth PAN profile.
BTConnectHeadset : Establishes connection to Bluetooth headset.

6. Terminating the connection

Terminates the connection using either the Bluetooth tool or the Bluetooth Library.

The functions of the Bluetooth Library relevant to the “Terminating the connection” are as
follows.
BTDisconnectSerial : Disconnects Bluetooth virtual serial profile.
BTDisconnectPAN : Disconnects Bluetooth PAN profile.
BTDisconnectHeadset : Disconnects from Bluetooth headset.

7. Closing the Bluetooth

Closes the communication via Bluetooth either by ending use of the Bluetooth tool or by
carrying out relative functions of the Bluetooth Library for closing the communication, and
then turns off the power to the integrated Bluetooth module.

The function of the Bluetooth Library relevant to the “Closing the Bluetooth” is as follows.
BTDeInitialize : Closes the resource for Bluetooth protocol stack.

107
2.6.6 Communication Procedure by Profile
While Bluetooth communication takes place, there is a chance that the communication link may
be interrupted due to radio wave conditions in air, so the retry process is always recommended in
application to verify the communication. In general, it is recommended also that the retry process
should be carried out in any wireless communication including WLAN if it takes place within the
vicinity by other equipment using the same frequency band (“ISM” band) such as microwave
oven.

Serial Profile
Bluetooth connection can be managed using either the Bluetooth tool or the Bluetooth Library.

The functions of the Bluetooth Library relevant to the “Serial Profile” are as follows.
BTConnectSerial : Establishes connection using Bluetooth virtual serial profile.
BTSendSerialData : Sends data using Bluetooth virtual serial profile.
BTReceiveSerialData : Receives data using Bluetooth virtual serial profile.
BTDisconnectSerial : Disconnects Bluetooth virtual serial profile.

DUN (Dial-Up Network)

Bluetooth connection can be managed using either the Bluetooth tool or the Bluetooth Library.
The communication will take place with RAS setting using “BTP1”. After the connection has
been established, communication via the TCP/IP protocol is possible.

The function of the Bluetooth Library relevant to the DUN (Dial-Up Network) is as follows.
BTSelectDevice : Specifies Bluetooth device to be connected.

PAN (Personal Area Network)

Once connection to Access-Point has been established using the Bluetooth tool, communication
via the TCP/IP protocol is possible.

OBEX (Object Push Profile)

File transmission or reception using the Bluetooth tool is possible.

FTP (File Transfer Profile)

File transmission or reception using the Bluetooth tool is possible.

108
2.6.7 Process after Communication Interruption
With Bluetooth communication, there is a chance that the communication link may be interrupted
due to radio wave conditions in air. An error occurred during the communication is detected by
carrying out WriteFile API function or ReadFile API function, etc.
In case where the communication is interrupted, carry out the normal Bluetooth interruption
process using the Bluetooth tool or in application and then retry to establish the same connection
for communication. If the normal Bluetooth interruption process is not made, unconformity in the
Bluetooth stack will occur so that the lower layer is disconnected whereas the upper layer is still
being connected causing the retry of establishing the connection is not possible.

2.6.8 Process During Suspend and Resume

When the terminal goes into suspend mode while Bluetooth is being used, the power to the
Bluetooth module integrated in the terminal will be automatically turned off. After that, when the
terminal resumes operation mode, the power to the Bluetooth module will be also turned on
automatically. Once the power is turned off, all the parameters related to Bluetooth
communication return to their initial states. These parameters must be set again in the Bluetooth
module by initializing the Bluetooth stack. If the Bluetooth tool is used, it will automatically
detect “suspend” and “resume” modes, and automatically initialize the Bluetooth stack. Note,
however, that if WakeOn Bluetooth function has been set enabled, the power to the Bluetooth
module will remain on even if suspend is carried out. This will not initialize the Bluetooth stack.

2.6.9 Setting SR Mode Parameter

When carrying out Bluetooth communication, the connection will be established by transmitting
radio waves by master Bluetooth equipment to client (slave) Bluetooth equipment. Note that it
may take time sometime to make the establishment depending on a type of the partner Bluetooth
equipment. Here, by altering the SR mode parameter (used in Bluetooth connection), radio waves
sent out when the master Bluetooth equipment makes the establishment will change, and may
reduce the time required to establish the communication. The SR mode parameter can be set in the
following registry.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\RXBT\HCI]

Table 2.76
Key Setting Value Description
DEFAULT_PAGE_SCAN_REP_MODE dword: 0 or 1 or 2 0: R0, 1: R1, 2: R2
Notes:
• Change the SR mode parameter prior to establishing Bluetooth connection.
• Even if the SR mode parameter is changed, the time required to establish connection with the
partner Bluetooth equipment may not be reduced.

109
2.6.10 WakeOn Bluetooth Function
The terminal in suspend mode can be put into resume mode by communication initiated by the
partner Bluetooth equipment. The following is an example of putting the terminal into resume
mode by Bluetooth dial up communication using a Bluetooth mobile phone.

1. Set the information for connecting with other party’s Bluetooth equipment in advance in the
terminal and Bluetooth mobile phone.
2. Set the terminal in suspend mode and Bluetooth mobile phone in waiting mode respectively to
receive a mail from the client (server).
3. Bluetooth mobile phone receives task mail from the server (client). The server (client)
disconnects after sending out the mail.
4. Bluetooth mobile phone activates as master and makes a connection with the terminal.
5. The terminal resumes operation mode and completes Bluetooth connection, and then receives
the task mail from the Bluetooth mobile phone.
6. After receiving the task mail, the terminal disconnects the Bluetooth connection.
7. Application in the terminal will carry out Bluetooth connection to the Bluetooth mobile phone
using Dial Up Profile.
8. The terminal will carry out dial up to the server (client) via the Bluetooth mobile phone.
9. The application in the terminal will carry out sending/receiving data to/from the server after
dial up completes.
10. After sending/receiving data completes, dial up connection will be disconnected by the
terminal. The Bluetooth connection will be disconnected as well.

110
2.6.11 Concurrent Use with WLAN
Since Bluetooth employs frequency in the same range (2.4GHz ISM band) with WLAN, basically
Bluetooth cannot be operated at the same time with WLAN. However, it is possible to make
mutual interference less without turning off the power of each device by following the below
instruction.

If the partner Bluetooth device supports AFH (Adaptive Frequency Hopping)

1. Separate the frequency range for Bluetooth and for WLAN definitely.
2. If AFH is used at the automatic setting mode, according to the inherent characteristics of AFH
function Bluetooth causes interference to the frequency range which WLAN uses. In this case,
specify the frequency range with the Bluetooth connection tool which Bluetooth should not
use, in other words, the frequency range which WLAN uses.
3. Confirm that the Bluetooth device of the communication partner supports AFH function.
Bluetooth connection should be established first by the terminal to the Bluetooth device. If this
is carried out in the opposite way, there is possibility that AFH function does not run due to
that the frequency range set by the terminal cannot be used.
4. As usable frequency range for Bluetooth is restricted by AFH function, mutual interference
among Bluetooth devices or interference from other device are apt to be suffered. If the
performance of Bluetooth communication ranks important, set the frequency range for
Bluetooth as wide as possible. This is a matter of trade-off for WLAN.

If the partner Bluetooth does not support AFH (exclusive use of Bluetooth and WLAN)
1. Confirm that WLAN communication has been finished before performing Bluetooth
connection. If Bluetooth connection is performed while WLAN is used, radio wave from
Bluetooth will significantly affect WLAN communication. Communication error by
interference by Bluetooth radio wave can be reduced if Bluetooth communication is started
after receiving data via WLAN.
2. Confirm that Bluetooth communication has been finished and Bluetooth connection is
terminated before WLAN communication starts.
3. If another terminal fails to perform communication via WLAN or Bluetooth, keep the
terminal away from this terminal as far as possible and start to operate Bluetooth again.
4. For WLAN communication to carry out, operate the terminal as close to Access-Point (for
WLAN) as possible. As it is assumed that Bluetooth devices are operated near by the user,
affect by interference mainly occurs on WLAN device. If the terminal distances from the
Access-Point, affect by interference generated by Bluetooth device will increase causing
LAN communication to fail. If this happens, place the terminal as near to the Access-Point as
possible and operate WLAN communication again.

Note:
Even if either one of the methods described above has been determined to be effect, thorough
check and assessment on the site and for system designs must be carried out prior to concurrently
operating Bluetooth and WLAN communications.

111
2.6.12 Communication Range
The communication range for Bluetooth communication between two Bluetooth devices should be
3 meters or less. If there is an obstacle exists on the path that blocks radio wave, the actual range
may become shorter. Secure free path for maximum range.

112
2.7 WLAN
The IEEE802.11b/g WLAN is operable on the models, DT-X7M10R, DT-X7M10R-CN,
DT-X7M10R2, DT-X7M10R2-CN, DT-X7M30R, and DT-X7M30R-CN. The IEEE802.11b/g
standard utilizes 2.4 GHz ISM (“Industry, Science and Medical”) frequency band, which is used
for short range wireless communication.

Device Name
With the terminal, the device name used to capture data about the WLAN driver with
DeviceControl function is “PY55BG1”.

2.7.1 Basic Features

Roaming
This function automatically switches Access-Point in environment where two or more
Access-Points with identical SSID code exist.

Power Saving
This saves the power by automatically turning off the power to the integrated WLAN module in
the terminal when communicating does not take place.

AdHoc
This operation mode provides a direct communication between wireless equipments without the
use of Access-Point. Note, however, that the AdHoc mode is not recommended to operate because
connection problem may occur.

WEP
This is an encryption that uses RC4 method for safe communication. It supports 40-bit
(64-bit)/104-bit (128-bit).

TKIP
TKIP supports against the weakness of WEP encryption.

AES
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is available on DT-X7M10R2, DT-X7M10R2-CN,
DT-X7M30R, and DT-X7M30R-CN for encryption method.

802.1x Security
This can strengthen authentication and establish a safe and reliable communication via WLAN. In
general, this interlinks with TKIP. It supports PEAP-EAP-MS-CHAP-V2, and EAP-TLS.

113
2.7.2 Expanded Features
Power ON/OFF Control
The power to the integrated WLAN module can be controlled in application. Turning off the
power when the WLAN module is not in use can save power, prevent line congestion and allow
the on-board use of the terminal in aircraft. However, it is recommended to consult one of the
cabin crews in the aircraft prior to use of it.

Operation Configuration File

The operation configuration file can be used to set each default value of the WLAN settings.

Resume Operation
After the terminal went into suspend mode and then returned in resume mode during wireless
operation, this will automatically establish connection again with the Access-Point to enable
continuous wireless communication.

Out of Range, In Range

This will automatically establish connection again with the Access-Point to enable continuous
wireless communication when the terminal returns within the range from out side of the range of
the Access-Point during wireless operation. This will automatically reconnect to the Access-Point
if connection establishment with the Access-Point cannot be maintained due to noise or
interference, or roaming is not possible for some reason.

114
2.7.3 Roaming
This feature automatically switches one Access-Point to another in where two or more
Access-Points with the identical SSID code exist are installed.

• Searches for Access-Points that can communicate with the terminal, and lists up radio wave
status of each Access-Point.
• Compares radio wave status of the currently connected Access-Point with those for the listed
Access-Points.
• If the comparison proves that one of the listed Access-Points has a better radio wave status
than the one currently being connected with the terminal, the terminal will make a request of
roaming to that Access-Point.
• If roaming permission comes from the Access-Point to the terminal, the roaming will complete.
Note that if the roaming fails, the connection establishment will be disconnected and then
connected again.

Notes:
• In some cases, the Access-Point may request the terminal for forcible roaming or reconnection
with another Access-Point.
• If connection establishment of the Access-Point being connected with the terminal is
terminated due to some reasons such as turning off the power on it, the terminal may be forced
to make a connection with another Access-Point.
• If it takes time for Access-Point to correspond for roaming request made by the terminal, the
reconnection process may be initiated.
• If DeAuthentication or DisAssociation message issued by the Access-Point that is being
connected with the terminal is received by the terminal after roaming completed, the
connection establishment between the Access-Point and the terminal may be interrupted
temporarily and then connected again.

115
2.7.4 Zeroconfig
This feature coordinates with the module firmware and the WLAN driver to perform some of the
WLAN link management and the Network management.

• If multiple SSIDs are registered as prioritized connections, attempt to establish connection will
be performed to each registered SSID. In this case, the interval of time period for reconnecting
will become prolonged. If the reconnection time ranks important, register one SSID only as
prioritized connection.
• Reconnection loop process will initiate when a disconnection notification is issued by the
module, or when Association fails.
• The reconnection loop process will end when the terminal succeeds connection establishment
with one of the multiple SSIDs registered as prioritized connections.

Connection Process
Zeroconfig will instruct the WLAN driver and the WLAN module to make connection when
finding an Access-Point registered in the prioritized SSID list. Each firmware of the driver and the
module both instructed initiates necessary process following the rules of IEEE802.11b/g standard
to make connection with the Access-Point. If multiple SSIDs are registered as prioritized
connections in the prioritized SSID list, attempt to establish connection with each SSID will be
made.

Disconnection Process
In the following cases, the connection establishment via WLAN with Access-Point will be
disconnected. Firmware in the WLAN module judges on the disconnection and carries out the
necessary roaming process.

• When the radio wave quality in air deteriorates because of interference from other radio
devices, noise, WLAN communication in the same channel with other WLAN device or in
adjacent channel.
• When the terminal distances from Access-Point, or when radio wave weakens due to obstacle.
• When another Access-Point that can allow roaming to avoid the poor conditions described in
the two cases above cannot be sought.

Resume Process
The following processes are carried out when the terminal takes place in the resume mode.

• Unloading the driver

• Loading the driver
• Initializing
• Seeking Access-Point
• Creating Access-Point list
• Establishing connection with Access-Point
• Changing Tasktray icon

116
2.7.5 Channels
The no. of WLAN channels set by default at the factory is “1CH-13CH” (13 channels) compatible
with the ETSI standard (EU radio standard).

2.7.6 WLAN Setting with Configuration File

The configuration file can be used to set the default values for the WLAN settings. By loading the
configuration file into the terminal, setting to configure the WLAN operations can be easy.

• The configuration file is “\FlashDisk\System Settings\WLANCFG.ini”.

• If no configuration file is available, WLAN operation is initiated with the default settings.

Timing to Load the File

The timing for loading the configuration file is when a reset or a full reset is performed on the
terminal. However, if any one of the following cases occurs, setting with the default values in the
configuration file will not take place.
• The file itself does not exist.
• The format is wrong.
• “Disable configuration file” has been set in the WLANCFG parameter.

Creating Configuration File

The configuration file can be created and/or edited with WLAN Settings tool at the Control
Panel. Using a general editor, a configuration file can be also created.
WEP key must be created in advance with an encrypted character string using the WLAN
Setting tool and then copy and paste it to the configuration file. WLAN settings made with
Microsoft’s WLAN setting will be ignored in the configuration file.

File Format
The file format of configuration file is INI type which follows the restrictions described below.

• The maximum size of the configuration file is 60 Kbytes.

• A line starting with “;” is regarded as comment. It does not regard as comment if located in
mid-line.
• The separator for KEY and VALUE is “=”. Space and tab, etc., also are included in either
KEY or VALUE. If a space is inserted after “=”, for example, in “SSID= tunami”, the SSID
value includes the space (“ ”)+tunami.
• At the end of line, CR or CR/LF must be attached.
• The maximum length of line is 256 bytes.
• Section name, KEY, and VALUE are not case-sensitive.

Battery Pack
The following shows statuses and levels available for the battery pack.
The battery status is checked ordinary once every five seconds. Taking last immediate ten data of
the power voltage from AD converter, its average is calculated to classify the status into three
levels, either “Almost exhausted (10 % of the capacity or less)”, or “Low (30 % of the capacity or
less)”, or “O.K. (30 % of the capacity or more)”. When VDET1 occurs, the level is at 10 % of the
capacity.

Memory Backup Battery
The following shows levels available for the memory backup battery.
The DT-X7 system checks the status of the backup battery every five minutes. Since power source
of charging the memory backup battery is supplied by the battery pack, charging it may not be
carried out sufficiently if the battery pack has not been accommodated for a long period or is not
being fully charged. In other words, the memory backup battery will be normally charged if the
battery pack has a sufficient level of battery capacity. Prior to operating the terminal, be sure that
the memory backup battery is fully charged, otherwise the RAM content may not be held when
the battery pack is demounted.

2.8.7 Virtual OFF by Application
Virtual OFF
Virtual OFF is a function and its main object is to save power. Internally, the terminal is running
normally but it seems to be with the power being turned off – unable to display and input key.
This function is mainly used to provide the terminal user with fast resume from standby state in
WLAN communication.

Virtual OFF State Transition

The state transition diagram of Virtual OFF is below. The system has a mode named Virtual OFF
and the state transits ON State and OFF State in the mode. The transition is triggered by the
message issued by pressing the Power key.

Figure 2.14

How to Set Virtual OFF Mode in Application

In order to set the Virtual OFF mode, call SysSetVirtualOffMode and SysDisablePowerOff
functions in the System Library. In this mode, the Power Management alternately issues the
following messages every time the Power key is pressed.

• When the Power key is pressed to turn off the power:

WM_POWERBROADCAST (PBT_APMSUSPEND)

• When the Power key is pressed to turn on the power:

WM_POWERBROADCAST (PBT_APMRESUMESUSPEND)

In the diagram in Figure 2.15, the application receives PBT_APMSUSPEND message at the first
press of the Power key and then changes the state to OFF State in the Virtual mode. And then the
application receives PBT_APMRESUMESUSPEND message and returns to ON State.
The application undertakes the transition to OFF State in the Virtual OFF mode. For example, the
application disables display, key input, etc. and turns off the power to devices in idle.

Notes:
1. If the application receives the low battery warning message (PBT_APMBATTERYLOW), the
application should reset the Virtual OFF mode and warn the user of low battery. If the user
continues to operate the terminal ignoring resetting the Virtual OFF mode, turning off the
power will occur (ordinal process to turn off the power) due to low voltage of the battery. This
causes a confusion and makes the user unable to judge whether the terminal cannot resume
from the Virtual OFF mode or troublesome caused by the battery ran out.
2. During the Virtual OFF mode, if low battery or turning off the power by opening the battery
cover lock switch occurs, there will be discrepancy between the expected condition the
application assumes at the next time of starting up and actual condition. For turning off the
power in ordinary process, the discrepancy is caused by two kinds of setting, one should be
reset and the other to be saved. These settings must be set to ON state again in the Virtual OFF
mode when the application receives the Power On message (PBT_APMRESUMESU|SPEND).

135
The functions of the System Library relevant to the “How to Set Virtual OFF Mode in
Application” are as follows.
SysDisablePowerOff : Sets up “Disable” for turning off the power on the terminal.
SysSetVirtualOffMode : Sets up “Enable” or “Disable” for virtual turning off the power.
SysSetVirtualOffModeEx : Sets up “Enable” or “Disable” for virtual turning off for touch
panel, screen, key operation, prohibition on APO, prohibition on
turning off the power, and setting CPU speed.
SysGetVirtualOffMode : Retrieves “Enable” or “Disable” status for virtual turning off the
power.

136
2.8.8 Virtual OFF by System
The “Virtual OFF” explained in Chapter 2.8.7 and adopted in many years in the CASIO previous
models is controlled by application. The DT-X7 and new models in future will support a new
virtual off mode - Virtual OFF by the System. The Virtual OFF by application is set in ON state of
the ordinary condition and is controlled by the System Library in application.

In Figure 2.16, the application enables the “Virtual OFF by System” with Microsoft’s
SysSetSystemManagedVirtualOffMode function. Once the mode is set effect, the system
alternately changes ON and OFF states of the Virtual OFF mode every time the user presses the
Power key. That is to say, each device driver can automatically go into the pre-determined device
state. The “Virtual OFF by System” can be reset by a reset operation.

In Figure 2.16, if the application receives the low battery warning message
(PBT_APMBATTERYLOW), the application should reset the Virtual OFF mode and warn the
user of low battery. If the user continues to operate the terminal ignoring resetting the Virtual OFF
mode, turning off the power will occur (ordinal process to turn off the power) due to low voltage
of the battery. This causes a confusion and makes the user unable to judge whether the terminal
cannot resume from the Virtual OFF mode or troublesome caused by the battery ran out.

2.8.9 Charging, Supplying the Power

The optional Dual Battery Charger (HA-F32DCHG) can be used to charge battery packs (two at a
time). Mounting the terminal on USB Cradle (HA-F60IO) or on Cradle-type Battery Charger
(HA-F30CHG) or on Ethernet Cradle (HA-F62IO) allows charging the battery pack while it is
installed in the terminal and supplying the power to the terminal.

138
2.8.10 Temperature Control
If temperature rise is detected in the terminal when running at the highest clock frequency (under
such the condition that the CPU speed at “TURBO”, the integrated WLAN module in active mode,
etc.), a warning message (see Figure 2.17) appears and the power is turned off to protect the
integrated devices in the terminal.

Figure 2.17

Either turn off the power and leave the terminal unused for a while move it to a location where the
surrounding air temperature is cooler.
If power is turned off due to the temperature limit, a warning message (see Figure 2.18) will
appear when the power is turned on a next time.

2.9.1 Setting Password for Terminal

This is the password setting implemented in the WindowsCE OS. Your password can be set at the
Control Panel. Click the Password icon to initiate the Password Properties screen, and then
enter your password in each field.

2.9.2 Setting Password for Date and Time

This is to enable setting a password for accessing the date and time setting in order to prevent the
user from changing the settings of the terminal. Use PASSTOOL located under Windows folder
to make the setting. Password registered will be saved in the FlashROM along with individual ID
setting, etc.

2.9.3 Setting Individual ID

Individual ID is written into a predetermined area in the FlashROM at time of shipping from the
factory. Distributor code (a code used to protect distributor developed software from illegal
copying by unauthorized party) is saved in other area different from the individual ID. The
individual ID incorporates the product code and serial number etc. and always becomes a unique
code different from other units. The System Library can be used to read the individual ID set on
each unit of the terminal.

The function of the System Library relevant to the “Setting Individual ID” is as follows.
SysGetDeviceIDCode : Retrieves Device ID.

2.9.4 Setting Distributor ID

The individual ID and distributor ID can be used by the distributor and user to prevent illegal use
of application by unauthorized party at a time of installing or carrying out the illegally copied
application by checking these preset codes. The distributor code is saved in the FlashROM area,
and read using the System Library.

Set up your individual ID with the ID setting tool that can be downloaded from the CASIO web
site.

The function of the System Library relevant to the “Setting Distributor ID” is as follows.
SysGetUserIDCode : Retrieves User ID.

• The registry will be initialized to its factory setting by performing a full reset on the terminal.
• Since automatic startup of applications with the utility will be performed every time when a
reset is performed on the terminal, it should be avoided by controlling the automatic startup
for each applicable application.

5.3 Auto Recovery Tool
This utility uses the backup tool to back up system data, restore system data and automatically
carry out user designated applications.
For data backup, data will be backed up by the backup tool. For data restoration, data will be
restored by automatically carrying out the backup tool at a time of the terminal’s start up after a
full reset has been performed.

Backup Procedure
The following is the backup procedure.

1. Starts up \Windows\Restore.exe.
2. When the program is complete, an end message appears.
3. Click OK button to close the program.

Restoration Procedure
The following is the restoration procedure.

1. \FlashDisk\CE\ARM\restore.exe will be started up after about 10 seconds when the

welcome screen appeared by a full reset on the terminal.
2. The screen will automatically close.
3. A screen for setting date and time will automatically appear.
4. Set the correct date and time.
5. Data will be automatically restored from the backed up data.
6. The terminal will be automatically reset after about 5 seconds when the restoration of data in
the step 5 is complete.

Execution Log
Execution log of the Auto Recovery is stored in \FlashDisk\CE\ARM\Restore.log.

Notes:
• The execution log file can maintain a total of 30 logs combined for the backup and restore
operations.
• If the log file exceeds over 30 logs, records older than others in the file will be deleted.

Skipping Restoration
When the auto restoration about takes place, pressing 5 key on the terminal will output a warning
sound and skips the imminent restoration process.

Error Conditions
The following are the conditions under which an error occurs when either the backup or the
restoration takes place.
• The backup or restoration takes place when the battery pack capacity is low.
• The backup takes place when the FlashDisk has insufficient capacity.
• The backup or restoration takes place when the memory has insufficient capacity.

285
5.4 Welcome Wizard
The Welcome Wizard sets up the following. However, each of the settings can be skipped if not
necessary.
- Configuring the terminal
- Owner information
- Date and time

Notes:
• Setting date and time can be avoided by setting a password even if a full reset takes place on
the terminal.
• Setting date and time must be performed when the RTC is cleared by a full reset on the
terminal.

Customizing Startup Screen

An optional bitmap can be displayed as the Welcome Wizard startup screen. Save an optional
bitmap file as FirstDisp.bmp in the “\FlashDisk” folder. The screen size of the file must be set
in 240 x 320 dots.

286
5.5 Memory Size Setting Tool
This tool is used when the memory size for Storage Memory (Object Store) is changed.
SetMem.exe retrieves the size in KB to be set from SetMem.txt in the \FlashDisk when it is
invoked. For example, if the size designates 6MB, create a SetMem.bxt in the FlashDisk folder
in where “6144KB” is written. If SetMem.txt does not exist, no operation as to changing the
memory size takes place.

287
5.6 Mouse Emulator
The mouse emulator is devised for the terminal which does not integrate a touch panel. The mouse
cursor functions are emulated with Ten key on the keyboard and R Trigger key on the right side.

Drag and Drop

While pressing 5 key down, you can drag an application icon in the desktop or a file or folder in
File Explorer by pressing one of the mouse cursor keys. Releasing the 5 key immediately drops
the icon, folder or file.

Enabling or Disabling the Mouse Emulator

The mouse emulator is enabled or disabled by sequentially pressing Fn key first and then 4 key.
Pressing the keys toggles the mouse emulator.

Flipping the Mouse Cursor Keys

As the display screen flips 90, 180, or 270 degree, the mouse cursor keys in Figure 5.2 also flip
accordingly.

288
Unloading the Mouse Emulator
The mouse emulator is factory-installed for installation of applications by users. However, if it is
not necessary, it is recommended to disable the mouse emulator by disabling the initiation process
with Fn and 4 keys. Or, if you wish to delete it completely, delete the registry of it below.
