Chapter 1 Introduction

Overview

The Socket In-Hand Scan Card (ISC) gives you

the freedom of scanning bar codes anytime

anywhere with a variety of Windows-based

mobile computers. The card’s compact design

lets you scan with only one hand when used with

a PDA.

The ISC is sleekly designed with no cables or

batteries and is available in either of two configurations: with a Class 1 laser

for normal scanning applications or with a Class 2 laser for more

demanding requirements. Please see Appendix C for a more detailed

comparison of the two types of laser scanners.

The ISC works in the CompactFlash or PC Card slot of compatible mobile

computers. Operation in a PC Card slot requires a PC Card adapter,

(available separately, SKU# AC4000-978).

The ISC works in the following mobile computers:

• Pocket PC 2000/2002/2003

• HPC 2000 or pen tablet running Windows CE v3.0 or greater

• Notebook computer running Windows 98 SE, Me, 2000 or XP.

About the Software

The In-Hand Scan Card packages include SocketScan™ keyboard

emulation software, which enters scanned data directly into any active

Windows program as if it were manually typed. This is known as a

“keyboard wedge.”

Major bar code symbologies are automatically detected,

including Code 39, Code 93, UPC/EAN, Code 128, Codabar,

and MSI Plessey. Additional symbologies can easily be

enabled.

You can configure SocketScan to automatically add prefix/suffixes (e.g.,

carriage return or tab) to scanned data, further eliminating the need for

manual data entry. SocketScan also lets you configure a sound to indicate a

good read.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION | 5

For Windows CE, SocketScan also includes

a Symbology Selector and Scan Demo. The

Symbology Selector makes it easy to

choose the symbologies you want to

enable/disable in the scanner. Scan Demo

helps you identify the properties of an

unfamiliar bar code.

For Windows 98SE/Me/2000/XP, SocketScan also makes it easy to assign a

function key to trigger the scanner.
