Part I
To define the transaction files (up to 6) to be used and the data
length for each transaction file. Once the data length is defined,
the system will reserve space for the program. If the space is
larger than needed, it would be a waste. On the other hand, when
space is insufficient, data will be truncated to fit in.
 For 8200/8400/8700, you may choose to create transaction
file(s) on SD card.

"Share file space with other applications" is enabled by
default, which means the same transaction file will not be
deleted after new program is downloaded. If disabled, the user
can get larger file system size.
Click "Configure" on the menu bar and select "Configure
Transaction Files". In the pop-up window, check the box to enable
the use of a transaction file, and type the data length for each
enabled transaction file.
To define the DBF files (up to 5) to be used and the IDX files for
each DBF file.
 For 8200/8400/8700, you may choose to create DBF file(s) on
SD card.
 "Share file space with other applications" is enabled by
default, which means the same DBF file will not be deleted
after new program is downloaded. If disabled, the user can get
larger file system size.
Click "Configure" on the menu bar and select "Create DBF Files".
In the pop-up window, type the total record length for each DBF
file and define the key offset and key length for the IDX files.
Please note that the specified Record Length here should exactly
equal the maximum record length of the lookup file.
To configure the system parameters for barcode symbologies and
scanner performance.
Click "Configure" on the menu bar and select "Barcode Setting". In
the pop-up window, check the box to enable the decidability of the
target mobile computer for a particular barcode symbology. For
the description of each barcode setting, please refer to Appendix I
& II.
