The Socket GS 2X gives you the freedom of
scanning bar codes anytime anywhere with a
variety of Windows-based mobile computers.
The system features the S-2208 scanner, which
combines excellent scanning performance and
advanced ergonomics to provide the best value
in a lightweight laser scanner. The scanner
ensures comfort and ease of use for extended
periods of time.
The Bar Code Laser Scanning Card works in the CompactFlash or PC Card
slot of the following mobile computers:
• Pocket PC 2000/2002/2003/2003SE
• HPC 2000 or pen tablet running Windows Mobile
• Notebook computer running Windows 98SE, Me, 2000 or XP.
Operation in a PC Card slot requires a Type II PC Card adapter, (available
separately, SKU# AC4001-979).
About the Software
The GS 2X include SocketScan™ keyboard emulation software, which
enters scanned data directly into any active Windows program as if it were
manually typed. This is known as a "keyboard wedge."
Major bar code symbologies are automatically detected,
including Code 39, UPC/EAN, and Code 128. Other
symbologies can be enabled using the S-2208 Advanced
Programming Guide from the Socket website.
You can configure SocketScan to automatically add
prefix/suffixes (e.g., carriage return or tab) to scanned
data, further eliminating the need for manual data
entry. SocketScan also lets you configure a sound to
indicate a good read.
Note: Prefix/suffixes can be enabled either in SocketScan or in the S-2208
laser gun, and the effect is cumulative.
