STEP 4: Assign Trigger Button(s)
You must set up a mechanism for triggering the CF RFID Reader-Scan Card.
Hardware button(s) are the best triggering method from a Pocket PC. To
make the dual functionality of the CF RFID Reader-Scan Card easy to use,
SocketScan allows you to configure up to four buttons for launching
SocketScan and/or triggering the RFID reader or bar code scanner. Please
refer to the chart below to determine which SocketScan functions you would
like to assign to buttons on your Pocket PC.
Program
What happens when you press a button assigned
to this program?
SocketScan will launch. If SocketScan is already running,
pressing this button will trigger either the RFID reader or
laser scanner, depending on which mode the card is in. If
you assign only one hardware button for use with the CF
RFID Reader-Scan Card, this is the program that should be
assigned. If you do not assign a button to this, you will have
to manually start SocketScan by tapping Start | Programs |
SocketScan.
Your Pocket PC will switch from RFID mode to bar code
scanning mode, or vice versa. This is designed to be used
in conjunction with a trigger button assigned to
SocketScan. You can also use Trigger Select to toggle to
other Socket bar code scanners that use a software trigger.
The laser bar code scanner will be triggered. SocketScan
must be running.
The RFID reader will be triggered. SocketScan must be
running.
Note:
• If it is inconvenient or impossible for you to assign a hardware button
on your Pocket PC, you can install SocketScan Trigger from the
installation CD, which allows you to tap on the icon to trigger
SocketScan and the RFID reader/bar code scanner.
• Refer to your Pocket PC manual for specific instructions on assigning
buttons.
