Page 12: How It Works
FORGE 9 Series Application Generator User Guide HOW IT WORKS Data collection mainly consists of three elements: input (scanning or key-in), data processing, and output (updating database). FORGE Application Generator for 9 Series Mobile Computers is specifically designed to deal with the sequences of data processing inside the mobile computers. -
Page 13: Getting Started
Introduction GETTING STARTED Let’s take the example of 9400 Application Generator. 1) Run AG9400.exe on your computer. The miniature image of 9400 pops up. 2) Right-click freely on the image or click the [Power] key on it. The Command Menu appears as shown below. 3) Click [Edit] to start with a new or the latest application template. -
Page 14: Command Menu
FORGE 9 Series Application Generator User Guide COMMAND MENU When the Command Menu first appears, it displays the following commands. Command Action... To create a new application template. Open To open an existing application template. File path needs to be specified. Save To save the current editing template. - Page 15 Introduction The first file on the recent file list is the latest template you work on. If you accidentally clicked the Close button or [OK] of the template, simply click the Edit command to re-open it. You may click any of the four files to open the template for editing. It will then be placed on top of the list.

Page 16: Application Template
FORGE 9 Series Application Generator User Guide APPLICATION TEMPLATE To work on a new or existing application template, click the New, Open, or Edit command. An application template is composed of five tabs; each is a property page for custom configurations. - Page 17 Introduction Warning: (1) On the Barcode tab of the AG program, you must select the correct barcode reader even though no modification is made to its settings. Otherwise, a warning dialog box is displayed to remind you of "wrong reader type" after opening the template file on the mobile computer. Then, you may choose to close the application directly or use the default setting to initialize the barcode reader.
