Spec Sheet
Turn Your Palm PDA or Pocket PC into a
High Performance Mobile Bar Code Scanner
If you're a mobile professional using a Palm PDA or Pocket PC with an SDIO
slot for an application requiring extensive data entry, the Socket Secure
Digital Scan Card (SDSC) 3E may provide an incredible increase in productivity.
Using manual or virtual keyboards is the slowest, most
error-prone method of entering data into mobile comput-
ers. If the data to be entered is bar coded, using a bar
code scanner is 50 times faster and 10,000 times more
accurate than manual data entry.
The SDSC 3E brings a new level of affordability and conven-
ience to mobile data collection by combining Socket
Battery Friendly® SDIO technology with the world's smallest
bar code scanner. Just plug the card into your PDA, launch
the included SocketScan software, and read bar code data
into any Windows or Palm application as if it had been
typed on a keyboard — no programming is required.
Battery Friendly® Design
Socket designed the SDSC 3E to be Battery Friendly — to use minimal power.
Drawing only 15 mA (50 mW) in idle mode, the SDSC 3E lets you operate for
hours without having to replace or recharge your PDA batteries.
