Updated Version 7.0.1 May 23, 2007
This is an updated version of the SocketScan Bar Code Scanner extension for PalmOS included with Satellite Forms 7.0.0. This updated extension includes these changes:
- Added support for new "Rev. K" Socket scanner SD cards
- Added support for the new Socket SDSC 3M laser scanner SD card
- The Socket scanner API library also mentions improved Bluetooth CHS support
Installation:
Copy the updated files in the zip file to these locations in your Satellite Forms 7 program folder:
SFE_SocketScan.prc ---> \Satellite Forms 7\Extensions\Standard\Palm
Remember to sync the updated extension prc file to your PalmOS devices as well.
Developer Notes:
If you use the Transmit Code ID feature of the Socket scanners that returns the symbology (barcode type) of the barcode that was scanned, you may need to modify your scanner initialization to ensure that you enable this feature. Do not rely on it being set properly just by resetting the scanner to default settings. Enable the Transmit Code ID feature explicitly by setting parameter #45, to the value 2 which retuyrns the "Symbol ID code". Setting it to 0 will return no code ID char, and setting it to 1 will return an AIM ID string. Most developers want the Symbol ID Char if anything.
eg: error = SocketScan1.SetScanParam( 45, 2, true|false )
To retain that setting across power cycles you need to set the Permanent flag to True. If you are setting this parameter every time the scanner is intialized (as recommended) then there is no need to set the Permanent flag to True, just leave it False.
This extension prc file is compatible with Satellite Forms 5.2 and higher.
