STEP 1: Install the Software

You must install SocketScan, but installing Connect!Agent is optional.

Should I install Connect!Agent?

Connect!Agent simplifies Bluetooth by automatically setting up
and managing the Bluetooth connection. It runs in the background
and requires no interaction from the user. If you choose not to
install Connect!Agent, you will need to use your Bluetooth
software to manually configure and manage the Bluetooth
connection.

instructions.

1. Delete any bar code scanning software already installed in your device,

including software from other companies. Make sure the software is
