About the Printer
There are several printer features that you must understand before you
write an application, such as the speaker, memory, display, and
keyboard.
Speaker
Applications can make the printer’s speaker beep for different lengths of
time and frequencies or play a .wav file. For example, you might use the
speaker to bring an error to the operator’s attention or to indicate a good
scan. Refer to the Microsoft® Visual Studio® .NET 2003 or 2005
documentation to use the speaker.
Memory
The printer contains 64 MB of Flash memory and 32 MB of RAM. The
Flash memory contains the kernel and permanent storage used for user
applications.
Display
The printer has a touch screen display (with a backlight) similar to a hand
held computer. Refer to the Microsoft® Visual Studio® .NET 2003 or
2005 documentation to write messages to the display.
Scanner
Each printer comes with the Symbol SE-955 bar code scanner.
See Chapter 4, “Scanning Functions” for functions and data structures for
scanning.
