NTRODUCTION
The Socket Cordless Ring Scanner (CRS) is a
unique wearable device that lets you keep your
hands free while scanning bar codes into a
Bluetooth
enabled Pocket PC or Windows XP
desktop, notebook or tablet computer.
The first product of its kind with a built-in
wireless communicator, the CRS combines the
power of laser bar code scanning with the
convenience of
Bluetooth
wireless technology
in a comfortable, hands-free solution that
makes scanning as simple as pointing your
finger.
“Fuzzy logic” technology enables the CRS to scan even damaged, poor quality or
hard to read bar codes. Socket’s
Error Proof Protocol
™
ensures that data is correctly
received by the host computer.
SocketScan
™
keyboard emulation software directs scanned data into any Windows
program, so you can use the CRS with your favorite application. Also included is
Socket Connect!Agent
™
software, which automatically configures and manages the
Bluetooth
wireless connection, requiring no interaction from the user.
