Accessories for the Reader
You can use these accessories with the JANUS 2010 reader:
TM
JD2010 Communications Dock The dock allows the reader to communicate
with a host computer and other devices through two serial ports, while
simultaneously charging the NiCad battery pack in the reader. The dock also
has a slot to charge a spare NiCad battery pack.
JZ2010 Battery Charger The charger lets you charge up to four NiCad battery
packs at one time. The battery charger senses when a battery pack is fully
charged and will not overcharge it.
JL2010 Optical Link Adapter The optical link adapter allows the reader to
communicate with a host computer or other device by means of an RS-232
serial port. You can also connect a power supply to the optical link adapter to
operate the reader and charge the NiCad battery pack.
Wands and Scanners You can attach a wand or scanner to enter bar code data
with the reader. For a list of input devices you can use, see “Attaching a
Wand or Scanner” later in this chapter.
2010U.084
COM2 Hardware Adapter The COM2 hardware (serial) adapter (Part No.
061799) lets you use the scanner port as COM2 if you do not need an input
device.
PC Cards Intermec has certified third-party Type I and Type II PC cards,
including memory, modem, and network cards. Memory cards you use in the
JANUS reader provide additional disk storage space, not executable
conventional memory. Contact your local Intermec sales representative for
ordering information.
Cables You may need to purchase cables for serial data communications
between the reader and peripheral devices. For help, see “Physical and
Environmental Specifications” in Appendix A.

JANUS 2010 Models and Options
The JANUS family of 2010 readers includes these models:
J2010 The basic reader is a combination hand-held programmable data
collection computer. The reader has a Type I PC card drive for Type I memory
cards and uses a serial port for data communications.
J2010 with 900 MHz RF Back or JG2010 with 2.4 GHz Radio This reader
complements the functionality of the basic reader with an optional RF back,
which allows the reader to communicate with a host computer over a radio
frequency (RF) network.
J2010 with a PCMCIA Back This reader complements the functionality of the
basic reader with an optional Type II PC card drive that accepts Type I or
Type II memory and I/O cards.
These options are available for all the reader models:
• Alphanumeric keypad that is available in English, French, German, Italian,
and Spanish.
• Large numeric keypad that is available in English.
• Terminal emulation (TE) software and keypads that let the reader emulate
an IBM 3270 or 5250 terminal (or display station).
• Radio frequency communications available for 900 MHz or 2.4 GHz
networks.
This manual tells you how to use the basic features in all models of the JANUS
reader. Special information about TE and RF are included in the quick reference
guides that are shipped with this manual or with your 2.4 GHz installation kit.

can use one of these Intermec input devices with the JANUS 2010:
• 1260-series, 1270-series, and 1280-series digital wands
• 146x CCD scanners
• 1500 infrared, 151x , 1545, and 155x visible laser scanners

2. Locate the modular connector on the top of
the reader. The connector is designed so
you can insert the input device cable only

adapter cable from your Intermec
representative.

Verifying That the Reader Is Operating Correctly
Once you have turned on the reader and attached an input device, your JANUS
reader is ready for operation. You can enter data by typing on the keypad or by
scanning bar code labels.
For example, to view the contents of the reader’s current drive, type this
command at the DOS prompt and press @ :
dir
Or scan this bar code:
*DIR*
*DIR*
The directory of the current drive appears on the reader display.

INITENV EXE 8325
MCFORMAT EXE 56140

Turning the Reader On and Off
The reader’s Suspend/Resume key is the yellow L key in the upper right
corner of the keypad, as shown in this illustration:
When you press L to turn the reader
off, the reader does not shut off but
goes into a Suspend mode. This mode
is referred to as “off” in the rest of this
manual.
In Suspend mode, the reader saves all
memory and turns off the power to
most hardware, including the CPU.
When you press L to turn the reader
on, the reader resumes exactly where it
was when you turned it off.
If a program was running when you
turned off the reader, the program
continues running from the same point
when you turn the reader on.
If you change the battery pack while the
reader is turned off, the reader resumes
exactly where it was the next time the
reader is turned on.
Note: You do not boot the reader by
turning it off and on. To learn how and
when to boot the reader, see “Booting the
JANUS Reader” in Chapter 9.
