•  Insert Special: First tap in the Prefix or Suffix field to indicate where 
you would like to enter special data, such as a date stamp, time 
stamp, tab, etc. Then tap on the Insert Special drop-down menu and 
select the type of special data to enter. 
 
•  Prefix: Tap to enter characters you would like appended before 
scanned data (128 character maximum). Besides special data items, 
only printable ASCII characters can be used. 
•  Suffix: Tap to enter characters you would like appended after 
scanned data (128 character maximum). Besides special data items, 
only printable ASCII characters can be used. The default suffix is a 
carriage return [CR]. 
•  Launch App: Check the box, then use the drop-down menu that 
appears to select an application that you would like SocketScan to 
automatically enter data into whenever you press the trigger button. 
The application will launch only when you are outside of 
SocketScan (i.e., SocketScan is running in the background). 
 
If you configured SocketScan to launch an application, 
whenever you scan data into a document, the data will only be 
entered after any existing data, no matter where you place the 
cursor. You will not be able to scan data into the middle of 
existing data. 
 
For example, if you already scanned three lines of data into 
Memo, the next data you scan will appear on the fourth line, 
even if you place the cursor on a previous line before scanning. 
 
3.  After entering any settings, tap OK to make the changes take effect.
