SP400X Series - 4. Configure the SP400X
4. Configure the SP400X
Overview
The SP400X is designed for use with a server-based application that sends print data in response to scan data received from the SP400X.
The general process is as follows:
The general process is as follows:
1. When turned on, the SP400X attempts to register with the server using network and server configuration parameters that are stored in
the SP400X.
the SP400X.
2. The SP400X queries the server for any updates (firmware or configuration, for example).
3. The SP400X is ready to scan.
4. After scanning a bar code, the SP400X sends the information contained in the bar code to the server.
5. The server responds with print data.
6. When the SP400X receives the print data, the SP400X signals the user that it is ready to print.
7. After printing (or timing out) the SP400X is ready to scan again.
In order to perform this scan-print process, several steps must be taken to ensure that all of the devices in the process can communicate
with each other. These steps are as follows:
with each other. These steps are as follows:
• Implement the server application. Refer to the Scan Print Protocol document, available at
www.handheldgroup.com/manuals
.
• Configure the SP400X devices to communicate with the server application.
• Design the print templates.
• Configure the server application and SP400X devices to receive wireless updates (optional).
Implement the server application
The communication between the server application and the SP400X is implemented using the SP400X Scan Print Protocol (SPP). SPP is an
ASCII-based protocol that contains a number of command and response pairs used to communicate with and configure the SP400X.

A number of factors must be considered when designing the server application. The primary considerations are the number of devices that
will be communicating with the server, and the desired response time of the server application.

Configure the SP400X
Handheld SP400X Series Configuration Software is available for download at the SP400X website (

-based software is used to configure the necessary device settings so that the SP400X can communicate with the server
application. The settings that need to be configured fall into three categories:
• Wireless settings: security type, ESSID and Encryption keys
• Server settings: primary and alternate registration servers, file server, application name
• Application settings: application name, print template
