Checking The Scanner
2.6 Checking The Scanner
If your WORKABOUT PRO G2 is equipped with an internal scanner, you can test it
to ensure that it is operating properly. Point the scanner window at a bar code that
your scanner was designed to decode—for example, a 1D UPC bar code or 2D bar
code. Press the SCAN button or pistol trigger, and check for a valid decode on the
hand-held’s screen.
Performance is improved if you disable all unneeded bar codes in the Bar Codes
screen. Review “Scanner Settings” on page 135 for details about bar codes.
2.7 Using Microsoft® ActiveSync®
ActiveSync
®
—Microsoft PC connectivity software—can be used to connect the
hand-held to PCs running this software.
Note: Keep in mind that you’ll need to run the USB Setup program to configure
your workstation before connecting the WORKABOUT PRO G2 via USB.
By connecting the WORKABOUT PRO G2 to a PC with a cable and running
ActiveSync on the PC, you can:
• View WORKABOUT PRO G2 files from Windows Explorer.
• Drag and drop files between the WORKABOUT PRO G2 and the PC in the
same way that you would between PC drives.
• Back up WORKABOUT PRO G2 files to the PC, then restore them from
the PC to the hand-held again, if needed, and so on.
To install ActiveSync, follow the step-by-step instructions provided with the
