QUICK START
Verify that the Formula Color™ and all the parts supplied with the equipment are
present and intact when opening the packaging. Contact the nearest Datalogic
distributor for further information.
Keep this package should it be necessary for shipping to technical assistance centre.
Formula Color™ All Models
When using the Formula Color™ terminal for the first time:
1)
remove the battery pack and the Formula Color™ terminal from the packaging;
2)
charge the battery pack by either:
a)
correctly inserting the battery pack into the Formula Color™ terminal (refer
to par. 5.2 in this manual) and positioning it into the Formula Color™ single
cradle. The cradle must be powered through the FPS18 power supply (refer
to par. 2.1 and 5.1 in this manual and the Formula Color™ single cradle
manual for further details);
b)
inserting the battery pack directly into the MBC8600 multi-slot battery
charger. The battery charger must be powered through the FPS18 power
supply (refer to the MBC8600 manual for further details). Then, insert the
charged battery pack into the terminal (refer to par. 5.2 in this manual);
3)
as soon as the charged battery is inserted into the terminal, the boot sequence is
run until the start up menu is displayed on the terminal. Then, the terminal is
ready. There are two different flash disks. Disk C: allows both reading and
writing, while Disk A: is read-only and contains the operating system and general
files including some tools.
After the boot sequence the keyboard is in "numeric mode" allowing to type the
numbers when pressing the keys (see par. 4.3). For typing letters and special
characters first press the "alpha" white key. Press it again to exit this mode and
re-enter "numeric mode".
4)
configure the BIOS parameters keeping in mind that their management may
influence the battery duration (refer to chapter 3 in this manual);
5)
once the system prompt (C:\>) is displayed, it is possible to run all DOS
commands. At first start-up it is suggested to configure the system date and
time through the "date" and "time" DOS commands. The "dir" command allows
displaying a list of the files that are in the current directory, while the "cd"
command allows changing the current directory. For further details about the
DOS operating system refer to the documentation provided within the CD-ROM
included in the packaging;
6)
for transferring files between the terminal (Disk A: is read-only) and a PC it is
necessary to run the serial communication server based on the Datalogic
