1 | Introduction
If you need to collect bar coded data but don't
want to be tied to your mobile or desktop
computer, Socket's Cordless Hand Scanner
(CHS) with Bluetooth wireless technology is just
what you're looking for. This innovative device
combines the power of laser bar code scanning
with the convenience of Bluetooth wireless
technology in a single compact, lightweight
device that is ergonomically designed to fit
comfortably in the palm of your hand.
Bar code scanning is the most efficient way to collect data from a mobile
computer. If the data to be entered is bar coded, using a laser scanner is 50
times faster and 10,000 times more accurate than manual data entry.
Bluetooth wireless technology transforms how devices connect with each
other, offering you new possibilities for using your mobile computer with
other devices. With Socket's Cordless Hand Scanner (CHS), you can scan
bar codes while connected to the Pocket PC in your pocket or your laptop or
desktop up to 300 feet away — all without the hassle of cables or the
awkwardness of a protruding antenna.
The Cordless Hand Scanner works with mobile computers running Windows
Mobile 2003 using either the Socket Drakar v1.4 Bluetooth stack (from
Socket’s SDIO and CF Connection Kits) or the Widcomm v1.4 Bluetooth
stack. Support for Windows XP, XP Tablet, Palm and Symbian as well as
other Bluetooth stacks are planned for future releases.
About the Software
SocketScan™ enters scanned data directly into any open
Windows program, as if the data were manually typed. You
can configure Prefix/Suffixes and assign a .WAV file to
signify good data reads.
The Socket CHS configuration utility makes it easy to
configure SocketScan for use with the Cordless Hand
Scanner. Simply identify which kind of Bluetooth hardware
you will be using on your mobile computer, and SocketScan
will automatically search for it when you try to connect. You
can also use the utility to configure other scanning settings
such as mechanisms to indicate a good read.
