item to which it is assigned but represents a string of identifying numbers or let-
ters.
2D bar code
Two-dimensional (2D) bar codes permit the encoding of information about an
item in addition to an identifying code. Two axes, or directions, are used for
recording and reading the codes and the bar size is reduced, increasing the
space available for data.

AutoCAB
The AutoCAB program allows the Pegaso to automatically reinstall selected
applications when the terminal is cold reset. When the Pegaso is rebooted, the
AutoCAB program runs automatically and determines if it is a warm or cold
reset.
AutoCE
The AutoCE program allows the user to create a list of applications to run when
the Pegaso is rebooted. Each application may be designated to run only on a
cold reset, or on both warm and cold resets. The applications run sequentially,
allowing interdependencies to be handled.
Batch units
Batch Pegaso units are synchronized and updated using Microsoft ActiveSync
software and a dock for communication with the host PC.
