Keep the product at least 13 cm (5 inches) away from electrical appliances that can generate a strong magnetic field such as TV, refrigerator, motor, or a large audio speaker.

Do not place heavy objects on top of the tablet computer as this may damage the display.

The screen surface can be easily scratched. Use with care. Do not use paper towels to clean the display but use the included cleaning cloth. Avoid touching it with a pen or pencil.

To maximize the life of the backlight in the display, allow backlight to automatically turn off as a result of power management. Avoid using a screen saver or other software that prevents the power management from working.

Use a soft cloth moistened with water or a non-alkaline detergent to wipe the exterior of the product.

Gently wipe the display with a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use alcohol or detergent on the product.

Use your finger or the stylus on display. Using sharp or metallic object may cause scratches and damage the display, thereby causing errors.

Use a soft cloth to remove dirt on display. The touchscreen surface has a special protective coating that prevents dirt from sticking to it. Not using a soft cloth may cause damage to the special protective coating on the touchscreen surface. To clean off hard to remove dirt, blow some steam on the particular area and gently wipe away using a soft cloth.

Do not use excessive force on display. Avoid placing objects on top of the display as this may cause the glass to break.

When there is a noticeable discrepancy in the operation of the touchscreen function (your touch does not correlate to the proper location on the screen), recalibrate the touchscreen display.

Scanning modeDescription
Manual TriggerWhen in manual trigger mode, the scanner scans until a bar code is read or until the trigger is released. Two modes are available, Normal and Enhanced. Normal mode offers good scan speed and the longest working ranges (depth of field). Enhanced mode will give you the highest possible scan speed but slightly less range than Normal mode. Enhanced mode is best used when you require a fast speed and don’t require a long working range. Default = Manual Trigger-Normal.
Presentation ModePresentation Mode uses ambient light and scan engine illumination to detect bar codes. When in Presentation Mode, the LEDs remain dim until a bar code is presented to the scan engine, then the aimer turns on, and the LEDs turn up to read the code. If the light level in the room is not high enough, Presentation Mode may not work properly.
Streaming Presentation ModeWhen in Streaming Presentation mode, the scan engine’s aimer goes out after a short time, but the scan illumination remains on all the time to continuously search for bar codes. Two modes are available, Normal and Enhanced. Normal mode offers good scan speed and the longest working ranges (depth of field). Enhanced mode will give you the highest possible scan speed but slightly less range than Normal mode. Enhanced mode is best used when you require a fast scan speed and don’t require a long working range.
Host Notify ModeHost Notify Mode bypasses the decoder and notifies the host that there has been a hardware trigger pull. When in Host Notify Mode, it is up to the host to initiate an Image Snap and/or an Image Ship command. It is also up to the host to switch to another trigger mode.
Snap and Ship ModeSnap and Ship mode, allows you to bypass the decoder and ship an image directly to the host. In this mode, an image is taken and shipped upon each trigger pull, instead of being sent to the decoder. Snap and Ship is useful when you are using your own decoder.

Chapter 5: Frequently Used Settings

5.1 Screen Resolution Scaling and Setting

The M101AD's 1920 x 1200 high-resolution display is perfect for viewing images, video, or other applications. However, the Windows user interface (icons, buttons, and other user interface elements) may be too small to read and operate at the default Windows settings. By changing the display scaling or the display resolution setting of the device, you can adjust the size of the text and other items on the desktop for optimal viewing. Display scaling is the recommended method because it has the effect of adjusting user interface elements without moving away from the optimal resolution setting at 1920 x 1200. This section will explain how you can adjust the built-in windows display scaling setting and resolution setting.

Winmate M101AD - Screen Resolution Scaling and Setting - 1

Note: The Tablet computer is shipped with a display scaling set at Larger - 150%. We recommend the users set the scaling to this setting for optimal text and image viewing. Before proceeding to change the scaling option, make sure any opened document is saved and close, and all running applications are closed before proceeding to change the display scaling, because this procedure requires users to log out of their account to apply display scaling change.

Perform the following to change the display scaling setting:
