1 | Introduction
The Socket 2D Scan Car (2DSC) gives you the freedom
to scan linear, stacked, 2D/matrix or postal bar codes
anytime anywhere using a variety of Windows-based
mobile computers. You can also use the Socket 2DSC to
capture VGA grayscale images.
The world’s only bar code image scanner built into a
CompactFlash card, the 2DSC is sleekly designed with no
cables or batteries. Simply pop in the scanner when you
need it, and remove it when you’re done. The card’s
compact design lets you scan with only one hand when
used with a PDA.
The 2DSC is available in two decode configurations: The “2DSC 5B (Basic)”
configuration adds all linear 1D, 2D/Matrix and postal symbologies, as well as
OCR-A & B. The “2DSC 5X (Xtreme Performance)” configuration reads
high density or small front linear 1D, all 2D/Matrix and postal symbologies as
well as OCR-A & B. Refer to the product specifications in Appendix A for a
more detailed explanation of the two decode configurations. In order to switch
configurations, you must contact customer support and send the 2DSC back to
Socket.
About the Software
SocketScan™ software functions as a “keyboard wedge,” sending
scanned bar code data directly into any active Windows program.
Your application will accept the data as if it were manually typed.
The SocketScan Trigger™ launches an on-screen trigger icon
that you can tap on to trigger the 2DSC. This serves as an
alternative to using a hardware button on your device. Windows
Mobile only. Must be installed separately from the CD.
The Socket 2DSC Demo™ lets you perform basic bar code
scanning and image capture with the 2DSC. You can also
configure the decoder and image capture settings, and perform
image transfers. Refer to the separate User’s Guide for the
2DSC Demo for instructions. Windows Mobile only.
