Checking the Scanner
If your Omnii is equipped with an internal scanner, you can test it to ensure that it is operat-
ing properly. Point the scanner window at a bar code that your scanner was designed to
decode —for example, a 1D UPC bar code or 2D bar code. Press the
SCAN
key or pistol
trigger, and check for a valid decode on the hand-held’s screen.
Performance is improved if you disable all unneeded bar codes in the
Bar Codes
screen.
Review “Teklogix Scanners” on page 149 and Appendix C: “Bar Code Settings” for details
about bar codes.

Data Transfer between Omnii and a PC
Data transfer options vary slightly depending on the type of operating system installed in
your PC.
For Windows XP SP2 operating systems or earlier, Microsoft
®
ActiveSync
®
connectivity
software can be used to connect your Omnii to PCs.
If the Windows Vista
®
or Windows 7 operating system is installed in your PC, ActiveSync
is not required to transfer data between your Omnii and your PC.
By using a Snap Module or Desktop Docking Station with your Omnii, you can connect to a
PC with a cable and:
•
View Omnii files from Windows Explorer.
•
Drag and drop files between Omnii and the PC in the same way that you would between
PC drives.
•
Back up Omnii files to the PC, restore them from the PC to the hand-held again, etc.
