RE: RF Scanners

Teklogix has hardware that will run very nicely on the iseries as an
emulated device. Agree with the comments on the small screen size, but some
of the fork truck mounted units have pretty nice sized screens. Also, when
using a 9300 or 9400 RF controller from Teklogix, they also have a screen
reformatting took called TSO that can reformat screens on the fly. Native
screens are always best though, IMHO.

The actual text on the screen fits in
the part of the screen that's displayed on the scanner so the user
doesn't have to worry about scrolling around to see the whole thing.

I don't know whether you're able to modify your BPCS to do the same

thing?

There are third party proxy packages that can map larger application
screens, even parts of different displays into smaller handheld screens, so
you can create a simple, intelligable workflow for the handhelds and the
proxy server uses that to drive the original application. I know that
Intermec RF Controllers provide such a function (at additional cost of
course) and I turned up others while investigating the idea years ago, but I
can't remember any particulars.

Of course, in the end we just wrote custom bits, with smaller screens, for
handheld use.
