Card Slot

There is one user-accessible SD Flash card slot, located in the main battery well, and protected by a rubber flap. Program CAB files, MX7 utilities, wireless drivers, the registry and registry backup information are stored on the SD Flash card.

Scanner / Imager Port

The MX7 has one integrated bar code scanner/imager port. Only one scan engine is installed at a time. Scan engines are not “hot swappable”. The MX7 may have one of three Symbol laser scan engines:

•Symbol SE824-I00A (Note: The SE 955 scanner replaced the SE 824 scanner on all MX7’s manufactured after July 2006.)

•Symbol SE955i Short Range Laser

•Symbol SE955E Base Laser

•Symbol SE1524

or one of two Imagers:

•Intermec EV-15 Imager

•Hand Held Products 5380SF 2D Imager

Note: Base Laser Scanner, 955E does not support aim mode. Any attempt to adjust the aiming beam using SE955 programming bar codes will fail. The Low Power scanner does not decode Codablock, Code93i or Telepen symbologies.

The integrated scan engine activates when the Scan button on the front of the MX7 is depressed or when the trigger on an installed trigger handle is depressed. A control panel applet (Start > Settings > Control Panel > Scanner) is available to set scanner/imager options.

Functionality of the integrated scan engine driver is based on the decoder driver version installed in the MX7. Functions may include audible tones on good scan (at the maximum db supported by the speaker), failed scan, LED indication of a scan in progress, among other functions. If enabled, a vibration device provides a tactile response on a good scan event.

Bluetooth LXEZ Pairing

The MX7 contains Bluetooth version 2.0 with Enhanced Data Rate (EDR) up to 3.0 Mbit/s over the air. Bluetooth device connection (or pairing) can occur at distances up to 32.8 ft (10 meters) Line of Sight. The wireless client retains network connectivity while Bluetooth is active.

The user will not be able to select PIN authentication or encryption on connections from the MX7. However, the MX7 supports authentication requests from pairing devices. If a pairing device requests authentication or encryption, the MX7 displays a prompt for the PIN or passcode. Maximum encryption is 128 bit. Encryption is based on the length of the user’s passcode.

The Bluetooth client can simultaneously connect to one Bluetooth scanner and one Bluetooth printer. Up to four Bluetooth devices can be paired and managed using the LXEZ Pairing control panel (Start > Settings > Control Panel > Bluetooth).

•The MX7 does not have a Bluetooth managed LED.

•The LED on the Bluetooth scanner illuminates during a scanning operation; the Scan LED on the MX7 does not illuminate.

•Bar code data captured by the Bluetooth scanner is manipulated by the settings in the MX7 Scanner Properties control panel applet.

•Multiple beeps may be heard during a bar code scan using the Bluetooth scanner; beeps from the Bluetooth scanner as the bar code data is accepted/rejected, and other beeps from the MX7 during final bar code data manipulation.
