SocketScan includes a Test feature that makes it easy to 
determine the symbology, number of characters, and decoded 
data (in either ASCII or Hex) of any bar code supported by the 
scanner. This is especially useful if you encounter a bar code that 
the scanner will not decode by default. 
 
1.  In the main screen of SocketScan, tap Test
 
 
 
 
2.  The Test Scan screen will appear. If desired, check the View 
as Hex box to view scanned data in hexadecimal format. 
Otherwise, data will appear as ASCII.  
 
3.  Scan the bar code. You can either press the trigger button on 
the CHS, or press the Scan button on the screen. SocketScan 
will report the properties of the bar code. 
 
 
 
4.  After you complete your testing, tap OK
