Programmable Options

Configure these optional settings via the SDK.

Charging Current

Charging current may be set to 500mA (default) or 1000mA.

Set Charging

The unit can charge the iOS device using its internal battery by enabling the “setCharging” setting. When the Innea Tab C battery is below 20%, it begins

charging the iOS device battery.

Enable Scan Button

Select the Enable Scan button in the SDK.

Scan Mode

Supports the following scan modes:

Single Scan

Scanning a single barcode by pressing and releasing either Scan button.

Multi Scan

Scanning multiple barcodes by pressing and holding either Scan button.

Motion-Detect

Scanner is activated automatically when barcode is placed near the barcode engine.

Multi-Scan without Duplicates

Scanning multiple barcodes without duplicates.

Pass-Through Sync

When enabled and the USB cable is plugged in, the iOS device is synced with a Windows computer or an Apple MacOS.

When syncing is required, enable the Pass-Through Sync setting in the SDK. When this setting is disabled and the USB cable is plugged in, the unit only

charges, but does not scan.

To use the scanner again, the USB cable must be removed.

Idle Time

Default setting: 5400 seconds (90 minutes).

USER MANUAL — INFINEA TAB C

Assembling Your Infinea Tab C

1. Face both your iOS device and the Innea Tab C upward, and then align the Home

button with the half circle slot.

2. Slide the unit into position gently.

3. Ensure the unit is seated rmly with the Lightning™ connector.

Developing Infinea Tab C Applications

Software is not provided with your Infinea Tab C. Please contact your reseller or Infinite Peripherals for Third Party software solutions.

Integrating the Infinea Tab Ci into your iOS application requires the use of the Infinite Peripherals Universal Software Developers Kit (SDK).

The SDK incorporates an API specifically for developing applications to use Infinea Tab Ci functionality.

For additional details on using the Infinite Peripheral Universal SDK, please refer to the appropriate SDK documentation.

For the latest Infinite Peripheral Universal SDK, please visit our developer portal: https://developer.ipcmobile.com

Battery Charging

The Infinea Tab C uses a Lithium-ion rechargeable battery and can be charged thought the USB port.

Note:

If fully discharged, the charging time is approximately 6 hours.

• Connect the micro USB charging cable to the micro USB port on the side of the unit.

Note:

Use only approved 5V, 2.1 amp DC adapters to charge the iOS device and

unit together. Failure to do so can result in charging issues with the Infinea

Tab C and/or your iOS device.

Do not force the plug into the connector when connecting the micro USB

charging cable as this could damage the connector.

Magnetic Stripe Reader (MSR)

The built-in magnetic stripe reader incorporates a 3-track magnetic read head, which requires a single swipe of a card to read data on all three tracks.

Near-Field Communication (NFC) Reader

The optional NFC tag/card reader incorporates several NFC formats depending on your model. The built-in contactless card reader receiver/

transmitter is on the back of the unit below the LEDs indicated by the WiFi symbol.

• To read a magnetic stripe card, slide it through the reader with

the magnetic stripe facing downward. The magnetic read head

faces upward toward the bottom cover of the cradle.

• Keep the edge of the card at on the inner base of the reader.

This ensures the stripe passes over the read head evenly.

• To read a card/tag, tap the contactless reading option on your

iOS device.

• Place a card/tag over the WiFi symbol keeping the face of the

card/tag at with the receiver and as close as possible. Data is

sent from the Innea Tab C to your iOS device.

SRED Encrypted MSR Information

Integrating the PTS 4X SRED certified Infinea Tab C into your solution requires proper maintenance of the unit. This includes maintaining proper

battery charge to prevent the unit from unintentionally entering tamper detect mode. When the battery becomes depleted or if it is removed, the

magnetic read head becomes disabled and renders the unit unusable. This requires the unit to be returned to Infinite Peripherals for servicing.

• If the magnetic read head security feature is disabled, follow these guidelines to prevent downtime:

• Do not allow the battery to fully discharge

• Do not attempt to remove the battery

• Always place the unit on the charging station when not in use for extended periods

Note:

When the battery is fully discharged and in the tamper detect mode, the unit may only be reactivated by Infinite Peripherals.
