  • Page 25: Bar Code Scanning

    MK2000 Introduction Bar Code Scanning The MK2000 automatically decodes a bar code presented in its field of view. It decodes all traditional retail bar codes plus PDF, RSS and composite bar codes. Scanning Modes The MK2000 operates in a number of selectable scanning modes, Table 1-1 lists the MK2000 scan modes: Table 1-1.

  • Page 26: Scanning Guidelines

    MK2000 MicroKiosk Product Reference Guide Scanning Guidelines When scanning a bar code: • Hold the bar code at an angle which does not cause specular reflection (see Specular Reflection on page 1-14). • Hold the bar coded item close for small bar codes and farther away for large bar codes.

  • Page 27: Smart Raster

    In Smart Raster mode, a single scan line pattern appears. If the bar code is a standard bar code, the scanner decodes the symbol. If the bar code is a 2-D bar code, the scanning patterns open up to a full, optimized Raster pattern as soon as the scanner is properly aligned over the bar code.

    EAN-128) and a 2-D bar code (CC-A, CC-B or CC-C). When scanning a composite bar code: • Keep the scan pattern parallel to the 2D symbol’s rows. • Hold the bar coded item at an angle which does not cause specular reflection (see Specular Reflection on page 1-14).

  • Page 30: Specular Reflection

    MK2000 MicroKiosk Product Reference Guide Specular Reflection When laser beams reflect directly back into the scanner from the bar code, they can “blind” the scanner and make decoding difficult. This phenomenon is called specular reflection. To avoid this, scan the bar code so that the beam does not bounce directly back. But don’t scan at too oblique an angle;...

    Chapter 5 Updating Data Updating Data on the MK2000 This chapter outlines the partition downloading and file downloading procedures for the MK2000. Partition Update vs. File Update There are two types of update supported by the MK2000: partitions and files. The file system used by the MK2000 is the same as the file system used on a desktop computer.

  • Page 90: Downloading Partitions

    MK2000 MicroKiosk Product Reference Guide Downloading Partitions The following tools can be used to update partitions (which are packages of one or more files that completely fill a partition region). • Initial Program Load (IPL) • AirBEAM Smart. Initial Program Loader Initial Program Loader (IPL) is a menu-based method of downloading partitions to non- volatile storage (flash) on the MK2000, see Upgrade Procedures on page E-1.

  • Page 91: Downloading Files

    Updating Data Note:When running AirBEAM in non-interactive mode a temporary loss of the UI is possible. AirBEAM may be processing in the background and therefore dominating the CPU. This may appear to the user as though pen taps and key-presses are not being recognized. That is not the case, the keystrokes are placed in the queue and processed accordingly when AirBEAM completes its updates.
