Bar Code Scanning PocketPakTM
Quick Start Guide
Overview
The Socket Bar Code Scanning PocketPak allows you to scan bar codes
anytime anywhere with any Windows Powered Pocket PC. Just pop in the
scanner when you need it, then pull it out when you’re done. It’s that easy!
Created for busy professionals who need
mobile solutions that are easy and convenient
to use, the PocketPak features the Socket In-
Hand Scan Card (ISC), which lets you scan
with one hand.
This Quick Start Guide briefly shows how to
install and use the ISC. For more details (e.g.,
configuring special options), refer to the
User’s Guide, in Adobe Acrobat PDF format in the Docs folder on the Bar
Code Scanning PocketPak Installation CD.

Whenever SocketScan is running and the ISC is inserted, the ISC icon
should appear in the Pocket PC task tray (visible from Today):
The “no card detected” icon may denote an improperly inserted card.
STEP 4: Assign a Trigger Button
Follow these steps and refer to your Pocket PC user documentation to assign
a trigger button:
1. Tap Start , then Settings. Tap on the Personal tab, then Buttons. Tap
on the Program Buttons tab:
2. From the Button list, select a button to trigger the In-Hand Scan Card. In
the Button assignment field, select SocketScan. When done, tap OK.
If SocketScan is not running yet, then pressing the trigger button will
result in launching SocketScan. Otherwise, pressing the trigger button
will fire the laser.
STEP 5: Scan Data into a Pocket PC Program

For information about bar code scanning applications (available separately),
email info@socketcom.com
1. If not already open, start SocketScan. You can tap on your assigned
trigger button to quickly launch the program.
2. Start the application you want to receive the data, such as Pocket Word
or Pocket Excel. Inside the application, make sure a new document or
spreadsheet is open that you can scan data into.
3. Press your assigned trigger button and scan the bar code. Hold the ISC
3-12 inches away from the bar code. Aim the laser so it spans the entire
width of the code, at a slight angle (45° is optimal). An amber LED
indicates the laser is on.
For example, try the following Code 39 bar code:
Important! Do not look directly into the beam or point it at a person!
4. When data is read, a beep should sound, the laser should turn off, and the
LED should turn green for several seconds, indicating a good read. If the
ISC fails to read data within a few seconds, the amber LED and laser
beam will turn off, and you must try again.
Note: If your Pocket PC enters suspend mode when you are running
SocketScan, press the ON button. SocketScan will reinitialize itself.
