Scan Demo - Socket 5 Series User Manual

Scan Demo makes it easy to determine the symbology, number
of characters, and decoded data (in either ASCII or Hex) of any
bar code supported by the scanner. This is especially useful if you
encounter a bar code that the scanner will not decode by
default.
1. Tap Start | Programs | Scan Demo. This will close
SocketScan and open Scan Demo as a separate application.
2. The Scan Demo screen will appear. If desired, use the check
boxes at the bottom of the screen to modify the test.
• Enable all symbologies: By default, this option is
checked. Different symbologies can sometimes interpret
the same bar code differently, so you may want to
uncheck this option.
• Code page: Enabled by default.
• Display as hex data: Check this box to view scanned
data in hexadecimal format. Otherwise, data will appear
as ASCII.
3. Scan the bar code.
4. Scan Demo will report properties of the bar code you scan.
