UPPORT
SocketScan for Windows XP and Windows Vista versions 6.4.2 and later support the
simultaneous use of two Socket data collection devices with the same computer. This
is ideal for combining magnetic stripe and cordless bar code reading capability in a
complete mobile POS solution.
Simply connect or plug in each device you plan to use as you normally would. The
functionality of each device is the same, and no extra configuration is required.
You can configure each device separately. In the SocketScan menu, click Settings. In
the dialog that appears, select the device you want to configure.
