Applications: Laser Scanner and Laser Pointer
Introduction
The SPT 1500 has an integrated scanner which allows you to collect data by scanning bar
codes, provided you have a scanning application loaded on your terminal. The laser is emitted
from the top of the unit. The SPT 1500 also has a laser pointer application which allows you
to use the terminal as a laser pointer. The pointer is also emitted from the top of the terminal.
This section describes the use of the laser scanner and laser pointer applications.
Scanning with the SPT 1500
Included in the Software Development Kit are two demonstration programs: ScanDemo and
SimpleScan. These programs are designed to assist the applications developer in learning how
to write an application for the scanner. Source code for these programs is located in the
Samples subdirectory of the Scanner SDK directory, and the prc files are located in the prc
subdirectory of the Scanner SDK directory. If your terminal does not contain these
demonstration programs, contact your distributer.
To add SimpleScan.prc or ScanDemo.prc to the SPT 1500, you may either build a new
BigROM file or use the Palm Install Tool to designate the files to be added to the SPT 1500
during the next HotSync.
SimpleScan Application
The SimpleScan application is a basic scanning application. To scan bar codes with the SPT
1500 using SimpleScan:
1. Select the SimpleScan application icon from your main application screen.
