Input
Since the Model 6600 is a hand-held computer, the most common input de-
vice is likely to be the passive pen. Bar code information can be captured
by using the optional integrated scanner or a tethered scanner. A PS/2-com-
patible keyboard can be connected to the 6-pin mini-DIN connector behind
the flap at the upper end of the computer.

Using the Pen

Simply tap or touch the display with the special pen to awaken the computer
or to make selections: the pen normally behaves like a mouse with the left
button depressed. Squeeze the button on the barrel of the pen to make it
behave like a mouse with the right button depressed.

Using the Integrated Scanner

The integrated scanner is activated whenever you press one of the long but-
tons on either side of the display. The scanner will timeout if a scan is un-
successful: a good scan is signalled by a "beep" from the computer. When
scanning, be sure the aiming dot or beam is centered, vertically and horizon-
tally, on the bar code you are scanning.

Output

The 15-pin D-subminiature connector behind the flap at the upper end of the
computer is intended for an external VGA monitor.

Two-Way Communication

An RJ-11 connector, located behind the flap and next to the keyboard mini-
DIN connector, allows you to connect the computer to phone lines if an op-
tional internal modem was ordered.
An infrared port located near the battery compartment door of the lower end
of the computer permits two-way wireless communication between the
computer and IrDA-compatible peripheral devices.
At the lower end of the computer near the left corner is a 9-pin D-subminia-
ture connector for serial communication with peripheral devices.
