5. The task tray icon at the bottom of your screen will change
to an image of a scanner to indicate that SocketScan is
connected to the CHS.
STEP 5: SCAN DATA INTO YOUR APPLICATION
1. Start the Windows application that you want to enter scanned data into
(e.g., Excel, Notepad, etc.). Make sure a document or spreadsheet is
open.
2. Place the cursor where you want data from the next scan to be entered.
3. Press the trigger button and aim your finger at the bar code. The red
laser beam should cover the entire width of the bar code. See Chapter 1
for scanning tips.
When data is read and sent to the mobile computing device, the laser
will turn off. Depending on your scanner settings, the scanner may beep
and/or the Hand scanner’s LED may flash green to indicate a good
read.
If no data is read in a few seconds, the laser will turn off, and you must
try again.
