Chapter 1 Introduction
Overview
The Socket In-Hand Scan Card (ISC) gives you
the freedom of scanning bar codes anytime
anywhere with a variety of Windows-based
mobile computers. Just pop in the scanner when
you need it, then remove it when you’re done.
Plus, the card’s compact design lets you scan
with only one hand when used with a PDA.
The world’s only bar code laser scanner built into a CompactFlash card, the
ISC is sleekly designed with no cables or batteries. The ISC is available in
two configurations: with a Class 1 laser for normal scanning applications or
with a Class 2 laser for more demanding requirements. Please see Appendix
C for a more detailed explanation of the two types of laser scanners.
The new ISC-Xtreme adds the ability to scan PDF417 2-D bar codes. Please
see Appendix F for more information on PDF417 bar codes.
When combined with a Type I CompactFlash-to-PC Card adapter, the
CompactFlash ISC and ISC-X also work in the PC Card slot of a Pocket
PC, Handheld PC Pro, HPC 2000 or Windows 9x/Me/2000 notebook.
The In-Hand Scan Card packages include SocketScan™ software.
SocketScan’s “keyboard wedge” function sends scanned data to any active
Windows program as if it were manually typed, so you can use the ISC with
virtually any Windows program.
Other features of the In-Hand Scan Card package include:
• Automatic detection of major bar code symbologies, such as Code 39,
Code 93, UPC/EAN, Code 128, Codabar, and MSI Plessey. Additional
symbologies can easily be enabled.
• No clumsy cables or additional batteries.
• Mobility Friendly™ design maximizes your mobile computer’s battery
life.
This User’s Guide shows how to install and use the In-Hand Scan Card and
In-Hand Scan Card-Xtreme. Except where otherwise noted, “In-Hand Scan
Card” also refers to the In-Hand Scan Card-Xtreme.
