The operator commitments in regards to safety (accident prevention regulations, work protection) are to be followed.
Safety
In order to prevent injury and damage, please read and observe the following safety guidelines prior to assembly and commissioning. The manufacturer assumes no liability for any and all damages that can be attributed to non-compliance with these guidelines.
Intended Usage
The 8585 is a multifunction terminal for stationary and mobile use in commercial applications (for example logistics, storage, manufacturing). Different or extraordinary usage is not permitted.
For resulting damage, the user/operator of the 8585 is solely responsible.
This also applies to any changes you make to the device.
Compliance with the contents of the safety guidelines is particularly important for the proper use of this device.
Initial Operation of the Device
Area of Application: Not for use in life-support systems or critical safety systems
The device is not designed for use in life-support systems or critical safety systems where system malfunction can lead to the direct or indirect endangerment of human life. The operator shall take full responsibility for using the device in these situations.
The device cannot be used in combination with safety functions for machines and equipment which have to conform to the requirements of EN 954-1.
Installation/Initial Operation
Installation of the 8585 on a vehicle must be performed in accordance with Chapter 3: Installing the Computer. Specifically, special attention must be paid to the various electrical potentials of the vehicle. Some vehicles have a chassis that is connected to one of the battery supply lines (DC+ or DC-), while most electrically-driven forklift vehicles have floating chassis, connected to neither DC+ or DC-. Refer to Vehicle Applications (such as forklifts) on page 3-2 for required wiring of vehicle power and fusing for the 8585.
Risk of injury during transit or installation
The unit could fall during transit or installation and cause injury. Always ensure that there are two persons available when installing or removing the device.
Choice of Location: Observe the Protection Class
The ambient conditions at the point of installation must comply with the device's protection class.
Supply of Fresh Air: Avoid overheating the unit
The 8585 is based on a passive cooling concept. As a result, the waste heat which is produced inside the device is emitted over the surface of the housing. For this system to function properly, sufficient fresh air circulation is required. Never install the system in a closed environment where the cooling air is unable to dissipate accumulated heat to the outside.
If the 8585 is not able to draw in fresh cooling air, this may cause overheating and severe damage to the unit.
The maximum allowed ambient temperature for the system needs to be taken into account for the concrete application area.
Install an easily accessible disconnecting device
The device is not supplied with a disconnector (switch) that can be accessed externally. The power supply connector is therefore used as a disconnector. Therefore it needs to be easily accessible.
If it is necessary to establish a fixed connection, an easily accessible disconnecting device (e.g. a switch such as a circuit breaker) should be installed close to the device. Ensure that the power cable is laid so that it is mechanically protected.
Laying Power Supply Cables: Observe the local installation regulations
The power supply cables must be laid in accordance with the applicable local installation regulations.
Ensure that no persons are injured in case the mounting bracket breaks
The 8585 may in no case be installed in such a way that persons can be injured during a breaking of the mounting bracket (e.g. fatigue break).
If the device is mounted in a place where people can be injured if the bracket should break, appropriate safety measures must be put in place (e.g. install a security cable in addition to the device bracket).
Radio Performance: Do not exceed the maximum permissible transmitting power
Do not exceed the maximum permissible transmitting power which is specified by each separate country. 8585 users must verify this themselves.
Power Supply
The mains power cord shall comply with the national safety regulations of the country where the equipment is to be used.
Operation in an Emergency: Immediately disconnect the device from the power supply
In case of emergency (such as damage to the power cable, or housing, or ingress of liquid or other foreign bodies), the device must be disconnected immediately from the power supply. Contact technical support staff at once.
Protection of the power supplies
If, after replacement, the fuse fed by the internal power supply blows again, the device must be sent in for servicing immediately.
Danger of electrocution when cleaning/servicing the device
In order to avoid electrocution always disconnect the 8585 from the power supply before cleaning or servicing the device.
When charging the vehicle battery please note:
While charging the vehicle battery the 8585 has to be either disconnected from the battery or it has to be determined that the maximum allowed input voltage of the 8585 is not exceeded.
Do not switch on devices with damaged cables or plugs
Do not use the 8585 when a cable or plug is damaged. Have the damaged parts replaced immediately!
Do not connect or disconnect any cables during storms
Cables must never be connected or disconnected during an electrical storm.
External Devices
The use of additional wiring and other peripheral devices, which are not recommended or sold by the manufacturer can result in fire, electrocution or personal injury.
If a power supply is used, only use the power supply recommended by the manufacturer.
Before connecting or disconnecting peripheral devices (exception: USB devices), the 8585 must be disconnected from the power supply! Otherwise, this could seriously damage both the 8585 and the connected devices!
Make sure that external peripheral devices with their own power supply are switched on at the same time or after you start the 8585.
If this is not possible, please ensure that the 8585 is adequately protected from power leakage caused by an external device.
Ensure that the power and grounding of any external peripheral devices to be connected to the 8585 are consistent with the power and grounding of the 8585.
Repairs Only
Never carry out repairs on the device yourself. Always contact technical support and send in your unit for repair if necessary. Refer to the following web site for further details:

Antenna Solutions for Use in Germany
The integrated antenna solutions are based on the prevailing IEEE 802.11 standard. This standard allows wireless data transfer at rates from 1 Mbps to 54 Mbps using the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency band (300 Mbps if using IEEE 802.11n).
WARNING! In Germany according to regulations published in the gazette 89/2003 of the RegTP (regulating body for telecommunications and mail), now: "Bundesnetzagentur" - Federal network agency for electricity, gas, telecommunications, post and railway - the maximum permissible transmitting power, EIRP (equivalent isotropically radiated power), in the 2.4 GHz frequency band is set at 20 dBm.
The transmitting power of the integrated Zebra antenna (Zebra 3 dBi) must be set to 50 mW (17 dBm) so that the EIRP limit value is adhered to when using the antenna.

Protecting the TFT Display from the Memory Effect
The TFT display of the 8585 has to be protected from the burning in of a motionless image. An image that has remained motionless for too long can cause irreversible damage to the display. With TFT displays there no cathode rays burning in an after-image as in old TV sets or monitors, but TFT displays still have a memory effect. This is because with a still image the liquid crystal molecules align themselves in a certain way and become inert if they are not moved. Like burning in the effect is irreversible, but can be avoided by regularly turning off the display or by using a screen saver with changing content.
Define in the power management centre of the utilized operating system that the displays of the 8585 should be turned off when no user input occurs.
A motionless image can stay on the display for a maximum of 12 hours. After more than 12 hours there is the risk of the memory effect.

DC Voltage Supply Connector
Version: Phoenix Combicon, 3-pin.
Figure 2-8 External view of the DC power supply connector
Explanation:
Ignition on means that a control signal has to be routed to this connection (e.g., ignition of a vehicle), that matches the supply voltage level and is able to supply at least 1 W to the 8585.
The signal reference is DC-.
Connecting External Devices
The 8585 must be disconnected from the power supply:
- Before external devices (e.g., scanner, keyboard) are connected or disconnected, and
- Before the 8585 can be connected to a network.
All connections and interfaces on the 8585 are located on the underside of the unit.
Ensure that the power and grounding of any external peripheral devices to be connected to the 8585 are consistent with the power and grounding of the 8585.
Caution: Make sure that external peripheral devices with their own power supply are switched on at the same time as the 8585 or after you start the 8585. If this is not possible, please ensure that the 8585 is adequately protected from power leakage caused by an external device.
Only power up the 8585 when all devices have been connected and the 8585 has been closed correctly (remember the cable cover!). Otherwise, you may damage the 8585.
Powering Up the 8585
Only power up the 8585 after connecting all of the devices.
The 8585 is powered up by connecting it to an appropriate power supply and then, depending on the version of the device, either using the [Power] key or the ignition signal.
You have to hold the [Power] key down for a short time.
Caution: Make sure there is a suitable disconnecting device such as a power switch or circuit breaker in the Property power supply circuit. Damage

CHAPTER 3 INSTALLING THE COMPUTER
Overview
The 8585 can be installed in a variety of ways:
- It can be positioned horizontally on a desk or mounted on a steering wheel and vehicle console.
- Wall mounts are also available for mounting the unit on machines and operating panels.
• Roof mounting is also possible, for example under the vehicle roof.
Depending on the vibration resistance and pivoting demands, mounting brackets, clamp foots or RAM mount elements can also be used to attach the device. Please contact your Zebra sales office to find out more about the whole range of installation options on offer.
WARNING! The unit could fall during transit or installation/mounting and cause injury. Always ensure that there are two people available when installing or removing the device.
Follow and Retain the Mounting Instructions
Please follow the mounting instructions included with assembly kit when installing your 8585. Please make sure that you retain the instructions.
Pay careful attention to Chapter 1: Approvals and Basic Safety Guidelines.
Mechanical Dynamic Loading
Since the 8585 is a weighted structure, it is invariable that the unit will be subject to mechanical dynamic effects. Therefore optimizing the mounting is necessary.
Cooling Through the Supply of Fresh Air
The 8585 employs a passive cooling concept whereby the waste heat generated inside the device is emitted from the surface of the housing. For this system to function properly, sufficient fresh air circulation is required.
Never install the system in a closed environment where the cooling air is unable to dissipate accumulated heat to the outside.
Caution: If the 8585 does not have access to fresh cooling air, it may result in overheating and property severe damage to the unit. The maximum permissible ambient temperature for the entire Damage system needs to be taken into account for the concrete application area.
Power Supply
The 8585 is equipped with a galvanically separated, integrated DC power supply.
Power is connected to the underside of the unit using a Phoenix Contact plug. There is no power switch.
Caution: The 8585 must only be connected to a SELV circuit. *Ensure that there is a suitable disconnecting device such as a power switch or circuit breaker in the power supply circuit. Ensure that the disconnecting device isolates all supply voltage lines. The DC+ connecting cable must be protected by a fuse (30 AT max.). The ignition connecting cable must be protected by a fuse of the following type: 5x20 mm T 125 mA L / 250 V, for example, a Wickmann 195-125 mA / 250 V.
* The SELV circuit is a secondary circuit that is designed and protected so that its voltages will not exceed a safe value both when operating correctly or if a single error occurs.
WARNING! Use the connecting cables supplied by Zebra to connect the 8585 to the power supply.
Make sure that the connecting cables are laid without kinks and are protected.
Vehicle Applications (such as forklifts)
Electrical Installation
Pay special attention to the various electrical potentials when installing the unit on a vehicle (such as a forklift).
In the 8585, the logic ground and the shield ground are firmly linked.
The “logic ground” is the earth line (GND) for all of the internal electrical components, such as the display and the CPU.
The cable shielding and the housing are connected to the "shield ground".
Caution:
Property
Damage
WARNING! PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS!
Some forklifts have a chassis that is connected to DC+. Therefore, the 8585 chassis is also connected to DC+. However, if you use peripheral devices that supply DC- to the 8585 via an interconnector (such as a DC- serial port), this will cause a short circuit. This will inevitably lead to malfunctions or even a total system failure.
Always attach the ring tongue on the white supply voltage cable to the ground bolt situated on the connector bay.
Most electrically-driven forklift vehicles have floating chassis, connected to neither DC+ or DC-. However, electrical faults can cause the battery + or - to be connected to the chassis via low resistance paths. All connected peripherals must be completely isolated.
Figure 3-1 Position of the ground bolt
WARNING! Individual vehicle requirements and any installed supplementary electronic systems on the vehicles must be reviewed to ensure 8585/8595 grounding is compatible - follow vehicle manufacturers recommendations.
• The other end of the white supply voltage cable should be connected to the vehicle's chassis.
• Make sure that the 8585's connecting cable is attached as close to the battery as possible. Connecting the 8585 to large electrical loads, such as converters for the forklift motor may result in random restarts, malfunctions and/or irreparable damage to the device.
- If you want to connect devices fed by other power sources to the 8585, such as printers and so on, be sure to power up the peripheral devices at the same time or after the 8585. Otherwise, you may encounter start-up problems, malfunctions or even irreparable damage to the device.
Wiring Vehicle Power to the 8585/8595
WARNING! Applying a voltage above the input voltage rating or reversing polarity may result in permanent damage to the 8585/8595 and will void the product warranty.
A 1.8 meter (6 ft.) extension power cable (PN 13985–301) is available which should be used to wire the 8585/8595 to the truck battery. This cable needs to be ordered separately. This cable should be wired to a filtered, fused (maximum 10A) accessory supply on the vehicle. On negative chassis vehicles, the positive lead
should be fused. On positive chassis vehicles, the negative lead should be fused. On floating chassis vehicles, the positive and negative leads must be fused. Any additional wiring (minimum 18 gauge), connectors or disconnects used should be rated for at least 90 VDC, 10 A.
When connecting PN 13985-301, ensure that the screen blanking wires (clearly labelled) and the power wires (red/black leads) are reliably secured away from each other, or are separated with reliably secured certified insulation. Minimum 2.8 mm distance, or 0.4mm distance through insulation is required for the separation.
The red lead of the power cable attaches to the positive vehicle supply. The black lead connects to the negative supply – this should be connected to a proper terminal block and not to the vehicle body. The external wire of the power adapter cable is connected to the ground lug of the 8585/8595 terminal connector bay and to the vehicle chassis.
You have the option of connecting power before or after the key switch. The 8585/8595 should not be shut off by simply removing the power. If it is wired after the key switch, the operator must shut down the 8585/8595 using the Windows shutdown procedure before turning off the vehicle. If it is wired before the key switch, then to avoid excessive drain on the vehicle battery, either the operator should shut it down when the vehicle is to be left off for an extended period, or the ignition cable shutdown wire should be connected and the 8585/8595 configured to shutdown automatically.
If an unfused power source must be used, a fuse assembly (PN 19440-300) and diode/choke assembly (PN 30723-301A) must be added to the extension power cable (the fuse, diode/choke and instructions are supplied with the cable). Use only a 10A slow blow UL approved fuse in the fuse assembly. The fuse assembly must be located as close as practical to the DC supply, and shall connect to either the positive, or negative side of the DC supply, depending on the chassis grounding scheme. For floating chassis vehicles, an additional 10 A slow blow UL approved fuse (fuse assembly PN 19440-300) should be installed on both power supply lines.
To safely wire power to the 8585/8595, review these guidelines and follow the instructions that apply to your needs:
- When connecting the cable (PN 13985-301) to the screen blanking cable (PN 1616303-001), the wire pair on the 13985-301 labelled "screen blanking" connect to the screen blanking control device, which must provide an isolated relay closure across the pair.
- When connecting the cable (PN 13985-301) to the ignition cable (PN 1616302-001), the wire pair labelled "screen blanking" on the 13985-301 has a different function; the red wire must connect to a DC+ voltage source switched on by the ignition, while the black wire may connect to DC- or be taped off.
- Note that only the ignition function is supported by the UPS (models PS1110/PS1120), not the screen blanking. If both screen blanking and ignition are to be used on the same 8585/8595, contact Zebra for details.
Position of the 8585 in the Vehicle

Installing on Flash
When an 8585 is started up for the first time without a pre-installed operating system, the user needs to carry out a number of steps that will vary depending on the system to be installed. Refer to the relevant operating system manual for specific instructions.
Caution: The installation and configuration of the operating system should only be carried out by professionals Property familiar with the system environment.
Damage
Special Features of the Operating Systems
If the 8585 is running MS Windows XP Embedded or Windows Embedded Standard 7, not all USB devices will be supported.
Serial Port
The 8585 is equipped with an externally accessible serial interface COM1.
Resources for the serial port are pre-defined in the system architecture and automatically managed by the BIOS.
COM1 as a Power Supply
The COM1 port can optionally supply externally connected equipment with +5 V of power.

Tips and Tricks
Note that according to the EIA-232-E specification, the maximum cable length is 15 m at 19,200 bps.
By using a correctly terminated twisted-pair cable, however, up to 1,200 m at 100 kbps can be achieved according to the EIA-422-A specification. With a data rate of 1 Mbps and a high-quality cable, it is possible to reach cable lengths of up to approximately 400 m.
Malfunctions in the RS-232 connections are frequently caused by ground loops. If both end devices establish a ground connection via RS-232 but do not share the same ground potential in their power supply circuits, then compensation currents may result. This is particularly noticeable with long cables.
These compensation currents, which are also present at the ground point of the RS-232 connection, may significantly degrade signal quality and effectively stop the data flow. In challenging environments, electrically-isolated connections (via external converters) or differential systems (RS-422/485 port) are strongly recommended.
Internal Devices
Chipset
The 8585 computer is equipped with a chipset which controls the communication between all function modules.
The chipset converts the signals it receives from the CPU into memory access, flash access and other similar actions. Likewise, it transmits requests from peripheral devices to the CPU. Input devices such as the mouse or keyboard also communicate with the system via this chipset.
VGA Adaptor
The 8585 is equipped with a VGA-compatible adaptor. This adaptor controls the integrated display.
Onboard Sound Controller
The 8585 is equipped with an onboard sound controller.
This controls the audio output via the internal speaker, or the optional Speaker/Mic with push-to-talk function (Model Number M1000).
Network Adaptor (10/100/1000)
The 8585 is equipped with a 10/100 Mbit network adaptor. This adaptor features an RJ45 port.
The network controller undertakes the entire task of connecting the hardware to the network.
The RJ45 connection port features two integrated status LEDs. They display the following messages:
Figure 4-3 RJ45 network port
Left LED (Green)
LED off: operating as 10-Mbps connection
LED on: operating as a 100-Mbps connection
Right LED (Amber)
LED off: no link is established
LED blinking: there is activity on this port
Problems with Data Transmission via LAN/Ethernet
If problems occur during data transmission over LAN/Ethernet (e.g. data is lost or not detected), the cause of these problems may be a cable which is too long.
Depending on the cable layout and interference from the environment, it may be impossible to use the cable length of 100 m given in the specification (IEEE 802.3 standard).
The solution here is the use of a shorter cable.
Automatic Switch-off
The 8585 is equipped with an automatic switch-off module.
Modes of Operation
If wired up accordingly, the 8585 conveniently switches off together with the vehicle's ignition.
As disconnecting the power supply during operation can lead to data loss, the operating system needs to be shut down normally using the appropriate hardware and software installed on the system when the ignition is switched off.
The 8585 is connected to the vehicle with three supply cables. DC+ and DC− are directly connected to the power supply of the vehicle, the connection is run through fuses. Therefore make sure that the cables are connected directly to the battery and not to high-interference supply lines (for example, motor supply) or to supply lines already used by other consumers.
The supply voltage connected is then linked to the 8585's ignition input via a switch, for example, the key switch of the ignition (also with a fuse).
Automatic Switch-off Process
When the ignition is switched on, the 8585 is supplied with power and begins checking its internal temperature and automatic switch-off function.
Once the ambient conditions have been verified as acceptable, the 8585 starts the operating system just like normal.
During the first three minutes of the start-up phase, none of the ambient conditions, such as the internal temperature or the Ignition input status, are checked. This allows the operating system and the operating software for the automatic switch-off module to fully load without interruption.
Following this three-minute period, the internal temperature of the unit and the status of the Ignition input are checked continuously.
If the inner temperature of the 8585 reaches a critical range, the operating system is shut down normally and the computer remains switched off until the temperature is back in the permitted range.
If the Ignition input is switched to earth potential or a potential-free source during normal operation, the unit switches to shutdown delay time.
In this state, the device continues to operate normally until the delay time (for example, 15 minutes) has elapsed.
• If the ignition is triggered again during this time, the 8585 resumes normal operation.
- If, however, the delay time elapses, the operating system is shut down normally by the operating software and the unit is automatically switched off (for example, after three minutes, or after a signal from the operating software).
Configuration with Zebra Config Program
The Zebra Config program must be installed for the automatic switch-off module to function correctly.
If the Zebra Config has not been started, the 8585 will carry out a hard shutdown once the delay time and shutdown time set by the hardware (e.g. via MPCCOM.EXE) has elapsed. In this case, the operating system is not shut down normally before the power is switched off. The current application is unable to save its data, and the file system becomes increasingly unstable and inconsistent.
If the Zebra Config has been started, the program can recognize when the operating system needs to be shut down. Firstly, the Windows message WM_QUERYENDSESSION is sent to all running applications to inform them of the impending shutdown.
Now every application has to respond within the time that is set in the registry (see the Automatic Switch-off Configuration Dialog on page A-6). If a response is not sent in the specified time, the application is forced to quit.
If there are any open programs with unsaved changes, it may not be possible to automatically quit them (for example, an unsaved document in WORDPAD.EXE, a program supplied with Windows). In this case WORDPAD.EXE responds to the Windows message WM_QUERYENDSESSION with a user query to confirm if the current file is to be saved. Applications that can be quit with the key combination [ALT] and [F4] (that is, without a final user query) generally send the required response to the WM_QUERYENDSESSION message and are not shutdown "hard".
To ensure that vital data is always saved correctly, applications need to be able to properly respond to the WM_QUERYENDSESSION message, that is, without user queries and within the set time period.
Further information on the Zebra Config program can be found in Appendix A: Zebra Config Program.

Maintenance
WARNING! Danger due to electric shock when cleaning and maintaining the device.
To avoid electric shock, turn the 8585 off and disconnect it from the power supply before cleaning or maintaining it.
Cleaning the Housing
The housing of the 8585 is best cleaned with a damp cloth.
Do not use compressed air, a high-pressure cleaner or vacuum cleaner, as this can damage the surface.
Using a high-pressure cleaner poses the additional risk of water entering the device and damaging the electronics or display.
Touchscreen Cleaning
Use neutral detergent or isopropyl alcohol on a clean soft cloth to clean the panel surface.
Prevent using any kind of chemical solvent, acidic or alkali solution.
Troubleshooting
Data Transmission via LAN/Ethernet
If problems occur during data transmission over LAN/Ethernet (e.g. data is lost or not detected), the cause of these problems may be a cable which is too long.
Depending on the cable layout and interference from the environment, it may be impossible to use the cable length of 100 m given in the specification (IEEE 802.3 standard).
The solution here is the use of a shorter cable.
Images for AMD Devices are not Compatible with Intel Devices
Images that were created for 8585 devices with an Intel processor cannot be used on AMD devices – they are not compatible.
Using the wrong image results in a blue screen with the following technical information: 0X0000007B.
8585/8595 AMD: Switch Off/Restart
If ambient temperatures exceed 40^a C, the processor comes under high strain or output is extracted externally via peripheral interfaces (USB, serial) the 8585/8595 may switch off or restart under unfavourable conditions.
Corrective action: Ensure sufficient cooling. Supply the connected external peripheral devices from other external sources.
Common Mistakes in Usage
Intel Images are not Compatible with AMD Devices
- Do not copy images that were created for Intel processors to AMD devices, and vice versa – they are not compatible.
Power Supply
- Do not connect 8585 computers to an AC power supply.
- Observe correct voltage ranges.
Powering Up/Down
- Please note that the function of the 8585's [Power] key varies depending on how the device is configured.
- Only disconnect the computer from the power supply after the computer has been properly shut down and switched off. Otherwise file errors may occur on the storage device (in operating systems that have no activated write protection filter).
Cable Cover
• The supplied cable cover for the external ports must be installed prior to using the 8585.
- In order to comply with protection class, please use the assembly kit from Zebra.
Mounting/Installation
- Only use suitable mounting brackets and screws permitted by Zebra.
- Ensure that ball-and-socket bases and fastening arms are securely attached.
• Follow the instructions carefully when attaching all outgoing cables to the strain relief rail.
• The WLAN antenna should not be used as a handle when turning the terminal. - All fastening brackets and mounting parts supplied by Zebra are only intended for use in the mounting of terminals and peripheral devices and may not be used for other purposes.
- When mounting peripheral devices, follow the manufacturer's instructions. This is particularly important when welding or drilling supporting parts.
- To avoid any accidents, make sure your field of vision is not restricted in any way when mounting peripheral devices. Observe all accident prevention regulations.
Mobile Application on Vehicles
- Observe correct voltage ranges.
- Ensure that supply lines are fused correctly.
- Lay the supply cable so that it will not get crushed or frayed.
- Read the labelling on the cable and connect the supply cable with the correct polarity.
- Cut the supply cable as short as possible. This avoids tangled cables and improves the quality of the power supply.
- Observe the vehicle manufacturer's instructions for connecting additional loads, for instance, in conjunction with an emergency shut-off switch.
- Be sure that the connection of the line is as directly as possible to the battery and not to power supply lines with a great deal of interference (e.g. the engine power supply) or otherwise affected by consumers.
- Connect the supply cable to a suitable place. Ensure that the connecting cable has an adequate cross section and ampacity at the connection point.
Using the Touchscreen
- Keep the panel surface clean.
- Prevent any kind of adhesive applied on the surface.
- Avoid high voltage and/or static charge.
- Touchscreens may not be operated with ball-point pens or writing utensils, tools of any kind (e.g. screw-drivers) or with sharp objects (knives, scalpels, etc).
- Touch the panel with your finger or stylus only to assure normal operation. Any sharp edged or hard objects are prohibited.
- Operate the panel in a steady environment. Abrupt variation on temperature and humidity may cause malfunction of the panel.
- Avoid applying excessive activation force or sudden impact on the panel surface.
Cleaning the Touchscreen
- Use neutral detergent or isopropyl alcohol on a clean soft cloth to clean the panel surface.
• Prevent using any kind of chemical solvent, acidic or alkali solution.

Pre-installed on Zebra Computers
In most cases Zebra Config is pre-installed on each 8585 and 8595.
Subsequent Installation
An installation program, Zebra config.exe, is available from the Zebra Help Desk for subsequent installation.
Start the Zebra config.exe from the directory into which it was installed.
Restart the computer once installation is complete. Zebra Config will only be operable following rebooting.
Automatic Installation of Software Keyboard
Zebra software keyboard is automatically installed as part of the Zebra Config installation. If no license is available for this software, the keyboard will only function for three minutes. It then stops working. For further information about the software keyboard, please refer to the instruction manual of the same name.
Files
The following important files are located in the Zebra Config installation directory:
Table A-1 Installation directory files
| ZebraCfg.exe Main program for configuration | |
| Config_Local.cfg Configuration file with Zebra Config settings - all local settings that are not saved directly in the hardware are saved here.More information:See Write WLAN Log File on page A-23 | |
| ZebraKEYBOARD.EXE | Software keyboard main program |
| KEYBOARD.CFG | The layout and functionality of the software keyboard are set here. |

Information on the WLAN Status Window
Figure A-11 WLAN Status Window
Color Legend for Signal Strength Color Legend for Quality
| Red = signal strength poor Yellow = signal strength fair | |
| Green = signal strength good Red = poor quality | |
| Yellow = fair quality Green = good quality | |
Signal Strength and Quality
| Parameter Description | |
| S = Signal strength | This value provides information about the strength of the signal received by the computer.The signal strength can be displayed as a dBm value, in percentages, or as a diagram, depending on the configuration selected in the WLAN dialog. |
| Q = Quality This value | provides information about the quality of the signal received by the computer.The quality can be displayed as a dB value, as a percentage, or as a diagram, depending on the configuration selected in the WLAN dialog. |
| Host name | The host name is displayed according to the setting in the WLAN menu. |
| IP address | The IP address of the 8585 is displayed according to the setting in the WLAN menu. |
Basic Legend for Signal Strength
Signal strength alone says nothing about the quality of the signal. The quality depends on the ratio of signal to noise (SNR = Signal/Noise Ratio = RSSI, Radio Signal Strength Indicator).
The following values are a good rule of thumb:
- Signal strengths less than -70 dBm are good.
• Quality between 10 and 20 dB is good.
IMPORTANT These values are only approximate and depend on many factors (different sensitivity of receivers, data bandwidth, etc.)

Extended Settings
Parameter Description
| Select WLAN card | Detect the radio card automatically or select it from the list (see also WLAN status window and radio cards next page). |
Finally, don't forget to Save!
WLAN Status Window and Radio Cards
The WLAN status window works exclusively with radio cards which support WMI. The WMI class is configured in "config_local.cfg" in the line "Noiseselect_01".
The WMI selection string in the format: NoiseSelect_XX=Card-Name,SELECT *....
For XX, substitute a number from 01 to 20; at most 20 different WLAN cards can be supported.
For the card name, a few characters at the start of the WLAN adapter name are enough (not case sensitive).
The full SELECT string is then specified, separated by a comma.
Write WLAN Log File
To optimize the WLAN network, or e.g. to analyse errors in roaming, a WLAN log file can be generated using the Zebra Config program.
-
For this, edit the Config_local.cfg file in the Zebra directory of the 8585 (e.g. with Notepad).
-
The entry
"Debug_Logging=0"entry is located by default in section CfgWLANStatus
0 means: no log file will be generated.
1 means: a log file will be generated and written to the Zebra directory. Filename of the log file: WLAN_DebugLog.txt.
- Restart the computer to activate the setting and generate the log file.
Caution: Property Damage
Only generate WLAN log files temporarily for analysis purposes. Afterwards make sure to set the 'Debug_Logging' entry to '0'.
Otherwise system errors are a threat, since if the EWF is deactivated storage media will be filled with log files (size of a WLAN log file: up to 50 MB. When this size is reached, the Zebra Config automatically creates BAK files, which are sequentially numbered.)
Figure A-13 Example of a WLAN log file
Information in the WLAN Log File
The following basically applies:
- Only the information which is displayed in the WLAN status window is written in the WLAN log file (according to the definition in the Zebra Config menu WLAN Status Window).
- The maximum size of the WLAN log file is 50 MB. When this size is reached, the Zebra Config automatically creates BAK files, which are sequentially numbered.
The WLAN Log file contains eight columns with the following information
The column heading is displayed after every 100 lines.
- Date
• Time (to one-hundredth of a second)
• C= Connected
0 means no, 1 means yes
- RSSI signal strength
- Signal quality
- BSSID Mac address of current connected access point
• SSID of WLAN network - IP address of 8585
Software Activation
In the Software activation menu, options such as automatic switch-off and software keyboard can be activated. If these options are purchased at a later date (after the 8585 delivery), customers receive an activation key or a license file, which must be entered here.
NOTE The automatic switch-off function in the 8585 is always available and does not need to be activated.
