SocketScan includes a Test feature that makes it easy to determine the
symbology, number of characters, and decoded data (in either ASCII or Hex)
of any barcode supported by the scanner. This is especially useful if you
encounter a barcode that the scanner will not decode by default.

1. In the main screen of SocketScan, tap Test.


2. The Test Scan screen will appear. If desired, check the View as Hex box

to view scanned data in hexadecimal format. Otherwise, data will appear
as ASCII.

3. Scan the barcode. You can either press the trigger button on the

Bluetooth CHS, or press the Scan button on the screen. SocketScan will
report the properties of the barcode.

4. After you complete your testing, tap OK.
