•
Route a copy of the scanned data to the serial port of the host device or to some other
auxiliary data collection receiver, if desired.
•
You may want certain barcodes to spawn some other process on the host computer, or play a
.WAV file, .AVI or .MPG file, etc.
•
If you are printing your own barcode labels, you can include characters that have special
meaning to your application trigger special processing based on their presence, and filter
them out of the final data stream.
•
By adding your own private functions into the Preview DLL, your custom application can tell
the DLL which input field has the focus at any given time. With this information you can
validate the scanned data, or even change the suffix from a TAB to a CARRIAGE RETURN
when it is appropriate to do so in your application.
We believe the addition of the Preview DLL has made SocketScan a much more powerful tool. We
hope that developers will find that SocketScan with this extension can be used as the scanning
solution for their application, and reduce the chances that you will need to write code all the way
down at the ScanAPI level.
