Tapping the Touch Screen with a Stylus

Note: Always use the point of the stylus for tapping or making strokes on the touch screen.

Never use an actual pen, pencil, or sharp/abrasive object to write on the touch screen.

Hold the stylus as if it were a pen or pencil. Touch an element on the screen with the tip of the stylus then remove the stylus from
the screen.

Firmly press the stylus into the stylus holder when the stylus is not in use.

Using a stylus is similar to moving the mouse pointer then left-clicking icons on a desktop computer screen.

Using the stylus to tap icons on the touch screen is the basic action that can:

•

Open applications

•

Choose menu commands

•

Select options in dialog boxes or drop-down boxes

•

Drag the slider in a scroll bar

•

Select text by dragging the stylus across the text

•

Place the cursor in a text box prior to typing in data

•

Place the cursor in a text box prior to retrieving data using a scanner/imager.

Note: If the mouse icon is not displayed, this feature can be enabled by tapping the PenMount icon

in the System Tray. From

the menu that pops up, tap the

Right Button

to enable the mouse icon. When this option is enabled, a checkmark is

displayed in the menu.

A stylus replacement kit is available.

Setup Terminal Emulation Parameters

Note: The instructions below are for Honeywell RFTerm. If a different terminal emulation software is installed on your Thor VX9

refer to the documentation for that software.

Before you make a host connection, you will, at a minimum, need to know:

•

the alias name or IP address (Host Address) and

•

the port number (Telnet Port) of the host system to properly set up your host session.

Make sure the mobile client network settings are configured and functional. If you are connecting over wireless LAN
(802.11

), make sure your mobile client is communicating with the Access Point.

From

Start > Program

, run

RFTerm

or tap the RFTerm icon on the desktop.

Select

Session > Configure

from the application menu and select the “host type” that you require. This will depend on the

type of host system that you are going to connect to; i.e., 3270 mainframe, AS/400 5250 server or VT host.

Enter the “Host Address” of the host system that you wish to connect to. This may either be a

DNS name or an IP address

of the host

system.

Update the

telnet port number

, if your host application is configured to listen on a specific port. If not, just use the default

telnet port.

Select

OK.

Select

Session > Connect

from the application menu or tap the “Connect” button on the Tool Bar. Upon a successful

connection, you should see the host application screen displayed.

To change options such as Display, Colors, Cursor, Bar Code, etc., refer to these sections in the

RFTerm Reference Guide

for

complete descriptions of these and other features.

A right click is generated by tapping the mouse icon , usually located in the upper right hand corner of the screen.
After tapping, the mouse icon highlights the right button. The next touch screen tap is treated as a right click. The
mouse icon returns to the left button highlighted so subsequent taps are treated as left clicks.
