The SPT 1700 has an integrated scanner which allows you to collect data by scanning bar
codes, provided you have a scanning application loaded on your terminal. The laser is emitted

Scanning with the SPT 1700

Included on the Symbol Palm Terminal Utility CD are two demonstration programs: SScan
and Demo Scan. These programs are designed to assist the applications developer in writing
an application for the scanner. Source code for these programs is located in the Samples
subdirectory of the Scanner SDK directory, and the prc files are located in the prc
subdirectory of the Scanner SDK directory. If your terminal does not contain these
demonstration programs, contact your distributor.
To add SScan.prc or ScanDemo.prc to the SPT 1700, use the SPT Install Tool to designate the
files to be added to the SPT 1700 during the next HotSync.
