A traditional linear bar code. The code itself contains no information about the item to which it is assigned but represents a string of identifying numbers or letters.

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.

Refer to navigation key.

The state of a user notification from the time the user is notified until the user handles the event.

The window in which a user is currently working or directing input. An active window is typically on top of the Z order and is distinguished by the color of its title bar.

Microsoft Windows Communication application that synchronizes a Windows CE device with a Microsoft Windows-based host PC. ActiveSync can use RS-232, IrDA, USB, and Wireless networks.

American Standard Code for Information Interchange; a code for information exchange between computers made by different companies; a string of 7 binary digits represents each character; used in most microcomputers. Any member of the standard code for representing characters by binary numbers. Refer to Table F-13 on page

The AutoCAB program allows the Falcon to automatically reinstall selected applications when the terminal is cold booted. When the Falcon is rebooted, the AutoCAB program runs automatically and determines if it is a warm or cold boot.

AutoCE allows the user to create a list of applications to run when the Falcon is rebooted. Each application may be designated to run only on a cold boot, or on both warm and cold boots. The applications run sequentially, allowing interdependencies to be handled.

Batch Falcon units are synchronized and updated using Microsoft ActiveSync software and a dock for communication with the host PC.
