 Socket SDIO Bar Code Scanner:

 

  Socket SDIO Bar Code ScannerIf you're a mobile professional using a Palm PDA or Pocket PC 2003 with an SDIO slot for an application requiring extensive data entry, Socket's SDIO In-Hand Scan Card may provide an incredible increase in productivity. 

 

  Now you can add affordable bar code scanning to your Palm or Pocket PC 2003 device with Socket's SDIO In-Hand Scan Card. Based on miniature Linear CMOS Imaging technology from Symbol Technologies, the SDIO ISC scans all popular linear bar-code symbologies and uses only 57mA of power during scanning to maximize battery life. 

 

  SocketScan keyboard emulation software sends decoded data to any Windows or Palm application as virtual keystrokes.

 

  Using manual or virtual keyboards is the slowest, most error-prone method of entering data into mobile computers. If the data to be entered is bar coded, using a bar code scanner is 50 times faster and 10,000 times more accurate than manual data entry.

 

  Socket's SDIO In-Hand Scan Card brings a new level of affordability and convenience to mobile data collection by combining Socket's Battery Friendly SDIO technology with the world's smallest bar-code scanner. Just plug the card into your PDA, launch the included SocketScan software, and read bar code data into any Windows or Palm application as if it had been typed on a keyboard.

 

  Socket designed the SDIO In-Hand Scan Card to be Mobility Friendly--to use minimal power. Drawing only 8.0 mA (26.4 mw) in idle mode, the SDIO In-Hand Scan Card lets you operate for hours without having to replace or recharge your PDA's batteries. Plus, the included SocketScan software transfers scanned data directly into any Windows or Palm application as virtual keystrokes--no custom programming needed.

 

Features:

 

  • Supported in Pocket PC devices with SDIO Card slots. IMPORTANT: All SD Card slots support memory cards, but not all SD Card slots support I/O (Input/Output) cards. Pocket PC's must have the SDIO Now! card services from BSQUARE included in the device firmware. Almost all Pocket PC2003 devices include SDIO Now!, but check the product specifications to be sure.

  • Supported in Palm Tungsten, Zire and SmartPhone devices running Palm OS v4.1 or later. 

  • Automatically decodes the most popular bar code symbologies including UPC/EAN, Code 39, Code 128, Interleaved 2 of 5, MSI/Plessey, and Codabar. Other symbologies can be enabled by user with SocketScan Symbology selector.

  • Class 1 LED light source poses no safety or health hazards Socket's SocketScan software for Palm and Windows converts scanned bar code characters into virtual keystrokes so that any Palm or Windows application treats the characters as though they were typed on a keyboard.

  • SocketScan enables the creation of prefixes and suffixes, such as Tab or Carriage Return, to further eliminate keystrokes in the data collection process.

  • SocketScan SDK for both Palm and Windows CE available for developers who wish to control the scanner and resulting data from within their application.

  • This Battery Friendly solution draws only a few milliamps of current in standby mode, extending the battery life of your Pocket PC No extra batteries or special power adapter required. The SDIO In-Hand Scan Card gets power from the host Pocket PC.

  • Works with Windows or Palm-based development tools so you can easily create custom applications.
