Connecting and Synchronizing the Terminal and Workstation

To synchronize data between the terminal and the workstation, ActiveSync (version 4.5 or higher) or
Windows Mobile Device Center must be installed and configured for the appropriate communication type
on the host workstation (Windows-based PC) and the ScanPal 5100 terminal. ScanPal 5100 terminals
ship with ActiveSync already installed. Therefore, if ActiveSync is already installed on the host
workstation, you just need to connect the ScanPal 5100 terminal to the host workstation (via ScanPal
5100 peripheral) to initiate communication.
If ActiveSync (4.5 or higher) or Windows Mobile Device Center is not installed on the host workstation,
you can download and install the most current version of the software from the

running Windows Vista or Windows 7 and with ActiveSync on host workstations running Windows XP. For
