Step 3: Assign Trigger Button(S) - Socket CF RFID Reader Card User Manual

STEP 3: Assign Trigger Button(s)

You must set up a mechanism for triggering the CF RFID Reader Card. Hardware
button(s) are the best triggering method from a handheld device.
If you have the CF RFID Reader-Scan Card 6P, SocketScan Plug-in allows you to
configure up to four buttons for launching SocketScan Plug-in and/or triggering the
RFID reader or barcode scanner.
Please refer to the chart below to determine which SocketScan Plug-in functions
you would like to assign to buttons on your device.
What happens when you press a button assigned to
Program
this program?
If SocketScan Plug-in is not open, SocketScan Plug-in will
launch.
If SocketScan Plug-in is open and you have the CF RFID
Reader Card 6E, the RFID reader will activate.
If SocketScan Plug-in is open and you have the CF RFID
Reader-Scan Card 6P, either the RFID reader or the laser
scanner will activate, depending on which mode the card is in.
If you assign only one hardware button for use with the CF
RFID Reader Card, this is the program that should be
assigned.
If you do not assign a button to SocketScan Plug-in, you can
only start SocketScan Plug-in by manually tapping through
menus.
If you are using the CF RFID Reader-Scan Card 6P, this
program will switch the device from RFID mode to barcode
scanning mode, or vice versa. This is designed to be used with
a trigger button assigned to SocketSca Plug-in n. You can also
use Socket Trigger Select to toggle to other Socket Mobile
barcode scanners that use a software trigger.
The laser barcode scanner will activate. SocketScan Plug-in
must be running.
The RFID reader will activate. SocketScan Plug-in must be
running.
Note: If you do not want to assign a hardware button, you can install and use
SocketScan Trigger software from the installation CD, which enables you to tap
on a software icon to trigger SocketScan Plug-in and the RFID reader/barcode
scanner.
