Step 5: Scan Data Into Your Application - Socket 3E User Manual

STEP 5: Scan Data into Your Application

1. Make sure the Scanner is enabled in SocketScan. To check if the
scanner is enabled, tap the Home icon. In the drop-down menu in the
upper right corner, select All. Tap on the SocketScan icon.
2. If you did not assign SocketScan to launch an application, then you need
to manually start the application that you want to receive data (e.g.,
SheetToGo). Make sure a new document or spreadsheet is open.
3. Press the assigned trigger button and scan the
code.
For example, try this Code 39 bar code:
4. When data is read, your device will make a sound if you configured
SocketScan to do so, the scanner will turn off, and data will appear in
your application.
For example, after you scan the bar code above into a new spreadsheet,
data should appear on the first line.
If no data is read within a few seconds, the scanner will turn off, and
you must try again.
For tips on scanning technique, please refer to Appendix E.
