4 MC50/70 Scanner Software
1 Installation
Installing the Symbol MC50/MC70 Scanner is a multi step process.
Step 1: Installing Microsoft Activesync
Step 2: Naming the Scanner
Step 3: Creating a Partnership
Step 4: Installing the Software.
Step 5: Registering the software
Step 6: Telling Eclipse where the data is to be found.
Steps 1 to 3 are common to all Windows pocket PC devices.
If you already have Microsoft Activesync v4.5 or later installed you can omit step 1.
1.1 Microsoft Activesync
You will need to install Microsoft ActiveSync V4.5, which is supplied with the scanner or it can be
downloaded from
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/default.mspx
This should be installed before the barcode reader is connected to the PC.
1.2 Naming the Scanner
When you are using more than one scanner with a workstation, you should give them names to easily
identify them..
Turn on the Symbol

Installation 5
Press Start>Settings
Change to the 'System' Tab
And select the 'About' Icon

Select the Device ID tab
And by clicking on the keyboard icon, enter a name for the scanner.
to bring up the on screen keyboard press the keyboard icon at the bottom of the screen
This launches the keyboard
to close the keyboard press the icon again
1.3 Creating A Partnership
A partnership has to be set up to allow the MC50/70 to exchange data with the computer.
Connect the cradle to the USB port on your computer and place the MC50/70 into the cradle.
The Activesync will detect a new partner.

Installation 7
select 'Standard Partnership'
Select 'Synchronize with this desktop computer

Select 'No I want to synchronize with two computers'
clear all the checkboxes and then put a check mark against 'Synchronised files'

Installation 9
Click 'OK' to the dialog box.
The device will now Synchronise.
1.4 Installing The Software
Run the 'MC50batchscan.exe' file
Follow the instructions on the screen.
· This will install the Microsoft .net compact framework,

· The Symbol resource files
· The EclipseScanIF program
on the MC50/70.
1.5 Registering The Software

To start the software on the Symbol MCxx,
click on the start menu, then programs and select the EclScanIF icon
A screen will be displayed on the MCxx showing asking you to enter the registration code.

A seven digit number will be displayed that you will need to send to support@navigator.co.uk in
order to receive the registration code for the device.
The registration code is locked to an individual MC50/70 and should be kept safely. In the event that
the scanner's battery becomes completely discharged, the code can be reused to activate the
software on that scanner.
Once you have received the code from support
enter it into the box at the bottom of the screen and click on the ok button.

Installation 11
The program is now activated and ready for use.
1.6 Setting Eclipse's Path to the Data

'Eclipse Needs to know where Activesync is going to place the data.
Since you may have other devices on your system, Eclipse cannot work this out.
On your desktop PC you need to Run the 'Scanner Selector' program which is normally found in the
Programs>Navigator Systems group on your start menu.
The display shows the name you gave the scanner 'fred' in this case, the type of device - ie (MC50),
and the storage location defined by activesync.
Select the device that you are using and then press 'save selected for Eclipse' and close the window.
1.7 Creating A Shortcut
On the MC50/70 you can place the program shortcut directly into the drop down start menu.
To do this:
select the start menu>setting
Click on the 'menus' icon.
Place a tick in the box next to ECLScanIF

Using The Eclipse Scanner Software
Part

2 Using The Eclipse Scanner Software
The equipment list scanner software should now be on the drop down start menu on the Symbol
scanner as ECLscanIF
In this section we show you how to use the scanner.
Before scanning you must remember to
select the equipment list you are going to be working on
Select whether the equipment is going out to the customer or back into stock.
Because the system is a batch based arrangement, you can work on multiple lists and so after say
scanning in one show, you can select a new list and scan that show out.
When you import the data into eclipse it will process the data in order and select the equipment lists
accordingly.
2.1 Selecting The Equipment List
Press 'Select' to choose the equipment list

Using The Eclipse Scanner Software 15
Enter the equipment lists 'Palm Ref' field from Eclipse (if you have a suitable printer you may print the
Palm ID as a barcode on your prep sheet report, in which case you can simply scan this barcode).*
see hints
Using the on screen buttons then press the OK button

2.2 Selecting In or Out
Select the 'Mode' button
Then select the relevant mode using the on screen buttons


2.3 Scanning
You can scan by pressing the scan buttons on the sides of

the MC50/70.
Aim the crosshairs at the barcode until a beep is heard.
It is best to hold the scanner at about 6 inches (150mm)
from the barcode being scanned.

2.4 Manual Entry
If a barcode cannot be read, the barcode number can be entered by pressing the 'Manual' button,
then a screen will appear allowing numeric barcodes to be entered.
If alphanumeric barcodes are used the Symbols inbuilt screen keyboard can be used.
2.5 Typecodes
If the barcode corresponds to a typecode such as 20m TRS cables rather than to a specific piece of
equipment,
a screen will displayed asking you to enter the quantity and then press the OK button

2.6 Other Scanning Functions
· You can change between lists by selecting a new list at any time , all further scans will then
be associated with the new list
· You can change from sending 'In' or 'Out' at any time
· You can remove items by highlighting them in the 'scanned' box and pressing the '-' button
2.7 Uploading to Eclipse
When you've finished scanning press the 'save' button.

(note: the save button can be pressed any time whilst scanning – the status bar changes from
'unsaved scans' to 'All scans saved'. The device automatically saves any scans every 5 minutes to
protect against data loss from the battery going flat.
Warning: if the device is left flat for an extended period this data will be lost as will the program and
the MCxx will require reloading with the software. Get in the habit of leaving the scanner in the
charging cradle when not in use.
Put the Scanner in the cradle and the MC50 will synchronise with the PC
NOTE: if you are using multiple scanners with one PC you must select the scanner using the Scanner
Selector Utility. See using multiple scanners with one PC below
Open an Equipment List in Eclipse
Press the 'Import' button
Once the list has been imported and any problems dealt with then you can clear the scanners
memory. The memory is not automatically emptied in case any problems occur during the hotsync.
Press the 'Clear' button to clear the scanner
Start scanning again
2.8 Hints & Tips

To save time for the person doing the picking the palm reference number can be printed on the
equipment list.
This can be printed by installing a barcode font such as the 3 of 9 font which can be found as
freeware on the internet and using crystal reports,
place the palm ID on the report and set the field to the barcode font.
A free barcode font can be found at http://www.barcodesinc.com/free-barcode-font/
The field to insert into the report is EQLISTS.Eql_no
If the scanner goes completely flat, a new partnership will have to be set up between the PC and the
MC50/70. This means completely reinstalling everything apart from activesync. The device will last
several days in standby mode however it is best to get in the habit of leaving the symbol in its cradle.

3 Advanced Topics
This section deals with advanced users who wish to use multiple scanners with one pc or are using
terminal services clients.
3.1 Multiple Scanners on one PC
If you have multiple scanners in the warehouse, but only one PC you will need to select which
scanner has the information you require.
Before importing the list, run the scanner selector program, select the device that you are using and
then press save selected for Eclipse and close the window.
The display shows the name you gave the scanner 'fred' in this case, the type of device - ie (MC50),
and the storage location defined by activesync.
3.2 Multiple PC's with one scanner
Microsoft have limited Activesync to only support two PC's to connect to a single PDA.
If you need to use more than two pc's with the scanner there are several programs on the internet that
overcome this limitation such as
Syncmanager from www.kelbran.com
or
Manypartners from www.mydocsunlimited.com

Advanced Topics 25
3.3 Using with Terminal Services
Do Not try to install activesync on the terminal server machine!
It is not possible to make activesync work directly with terminal services as the USB port cannot be
virtualised.
instead:
Create a share of the synchronised files folder of the MC50 on the client machine. For instance share
C:\Documents and Settings\Richard\My Documents\Scanner1 my documents\ as scandir
Create a login script or batch file to map the share scandir as a drive such as Z: under terminal
server
Setting the environment variables in the Terminal server session for the current user to PALM=Z:\
and QUESTOR=Z:\
this will allow eclipse to read the data files as if they were on the server.
If you require multiple Scanners to work with a terminal server client , you may need a third party
program such as
Mightysync3 from www.mydocumentsunlimited.com
this allows you to define the directory that all the scanners use to synchronize from so that only one
directory needs to be mapped.
3.4 Data Formats
When the 'import from portable reader button is pressed, the program looks for a file in the directory
pointed to by the environment variable PALM
Eclipse loads the file xmove.cdd.
This contains the list of scanned barcodes. The file format is designed to be compatible with the
earlier palm based scanners which used the CASL conduit.
The format of the xmove.cdd file is:
<header>
which comprises of the following 9 lines

#CDBID: CASL
#MAJREV: 2
#MINREV: 0
#FLDCNT: 3
#RECCNT: 0
#SYNCMODE: PDA_TO_PC
#FLDNUM:1 TYPE:S SIZE:0
#FLDNUM:2 TYPE:N SIZE:0
<data>
which consists of the barcodes in the following format
0x00000000,0x0000,"Barcode(prefixed by * for typecodes)","Quantity for typecodes","O or I followed

by the Palm reference number of the equipment list"
Where the quantity field is always zero for item level barcodes.
In this sample file
#CDBID: CASL
#MAJREV: 2
#MINREV: 0
#FLDCNT: 3
#RECCNT: 0
#SYNCMODE: PDA_TO_PC
#FLDNUM:2 TYPE:N SIZE:0
0x00000000,0x0000,"10",0,"O2133"
0x00000000,0x0000,"20",0,"I6177"
0x00000000,0x0000,"30",0,"O3129"
0x00000000,0x0000,"*998",56,"O9765"
The four lines of barcodes show:
Palm Reference 2133, quantity of 0, Barcode 10 being scanned Out

Palm Reference 6177, quantity of 0, Barcode 20 being scanned In
Palm Reference 3129, quantity of 0, Barcode 30 being scanned Out
Palm Reference 9765, quantity of 56, Typecode 998 being scanned Out
After an import a file short.cdi is created and synced to the device. This has a list of the barcodes that
correspond to typecodes rather than individual item
barcodes.
the format of the short.cdi file is:
<header>
which comprises of the following 7 lines
#CDBID: CASL
#MAJREV: 2
#MINREV: 0
#FLDCNT: 1
#RECCNT: 2
#SYNCMODE: PC_TO_PDA

Advanced Topics 27
<data>
which consists of the barcodes in the following format
0x00000000,0x0000,"Typecode"
in this sample file
#CDBID: CASL
#MAJREV: 2
#MINREV: 0
#FLDCNT: 1
#RECCNT: 2
#SYNCMODE: PC_TO_PDA
0x00000000,0x0000,"998"
0x00000000,0x0000,"999"
This indicates that barcodes 998 and 999 are typecodes and the user should be prompted to enter the
quantity of items.
The last file that is found on the Symbol is reg.cod which contains the registration code for the
scanner.
This code is unique to the scanner and is tied to the unique serial number of the device.
