Socket Mobile 7 - Manual (Page 21)

STEP 7: Scan Data into Your Application
1. Start the Windows application that you want to receive the data (e.g.,
Excel, Notepad, etc.). Make sure a document or spreadsheet is open.
2. Press the trigger button and scan the code. For example, try this bar code:
When data is read and transmitted to the host, the laser will
turn off. Depending on the settings you chose in the Socket
CHS configuration tool, the scanner may beep and/or the LED
may flash green. If the Scanner fails to read data within a few
seconds, the laser will turn off, and you must try again.
3. After a successful scan, data should appear in your document. For
example, after you scan the code above into a Pocket Excel spreadsheet,
data should appear in the first cell. The default “CR” (carriage return)
suffix will advance the cursor to the next cell, ready for the next scan.
Note:
Wait for the “Good Scan”
indication before you scan another
bar code. If you try to scan too fast,
the device can lock up until you stop
scanning.
If your device enters sleep mode, the
Bluetooth connection may be lost,
and you may need to re-connect the
devices.
