DESCRIPTION
Now you can use your H/PC to collect bar code data directly into any Windows CE application. The Bar Code Wand Card revolutionizes mobile data collection by combining Socket’s top selling serial PC Card with Welch Allyn’s popular SCANTEAM 6180 bar code scanner/decoder. Plug the card into your Handheld PC (H/PC), launch Socket’s keyboard emulation software and you can use the pen-like contact scanner wand to copy bar code data directly into any Windows CE program. When you move the wand across a bar code, Windows CE programs behave as though you typed the data in, eliminating the need for special programming. You can replace expensive, dedicated data collection terminals with your H/PC and perform an unlimited variety of computational tasks right at the point of data capture. It’s like being able to type 50 words a second without making errors!

Windows CE H/PCs are great solutions for inventory management, shelf price audits, point of sale, stock pulling and put away, field inspection audits, patient data collection, market research surveys, route delivery, and many other mobile applications.

Socket’s PC Card offers the advantages of low power consumption plus a secure attachment between the scanner wand and any H/PC. Drawing only 7 mA in standby mode, the system maximizes your H/PC’s battery life. And you won’t have to hassle with built-in H/PC serial connectors that vary in shape between manufacturers and are not designed for strenuous use.
