Overview 
The Socket SD Scan Card (SDSC) 3E gives you the 
freedom of scanning bar codes anytime anywhere 
into your Pocket PC 2003 or Palm device using the 
smallest and most lightweight form factor available 
for an expansion card.  In a small size totaling less 
than 23 grams, the card features state-of-the-art 
linear CMOS technology. 
 
The world’s only bar code scanner built into an 
SDIO card, the SD Scan Card is a small and sleek 
unit with no cables or batteries. You can scan with 
only one hand, letting you collect data with 
maximum ease and efficiency. The most popular bar 
codes are automatically detected. 
 
 
About the Software 
 
SocketScan™ enters scanned data directly into any open 
Windows or Palm OS program, as if the data were manually 
typed. You can configure Prefix/Suffixes and assign a .WAV 
file to signify good data reads. SocketScan for Palm also 
makes it easy to assign a trigger button. 
 
If you don’t want to or can’t use a hardware button to trigger 
the scanner, you can install SocketScan Trigger for Windows 
CE (also compatible with Windows Mobile 2003). This puts 
an icon on your screen that you can tap to trigger the scanner. 
The trigger “floats” on the screen above any active 
application.
