ABOUT BLUETOOTH HID AND SPP MODES

The CHS v3 supports two kinds of Bluetooth connections (known as Bluetooth profiles): SPP (Serial

Port Profile) and HID (Human Interface Device), each with its advantages and disadvantages.

By default, the CHS is set to HID mode for Keyboard devices, which requires no SocketScan

10 software installation. For better performance, Socket highly recommends that you use SPP

(especially if scanning barcodes that contain a lot of data). The CHS 7Ci also supports iOS

mode to enable SPP connections with the iPad, iPhone or iPod touch.

ABOUT SOCKETSCAN 10 SOFTWARE

SocketScan™10 keyboard wedge software enters scanned data directly into any program as if the

data were manually typed. It includes a utility for configuring Prefix/Suffixes, sounds, symbologies,

and other settings for the CHS. Download the latest software free from:

http://www.socketmobile.com/support/downloads/

Software for Bluetooth SPP mode only. No software installation required for HID mode.

SocketScan 10 keyboard wedge software is designed for scanning 7 bit ASCII data. For Unicode,

DoubleByte, Multibyte (e.g., for Japanese or Chinese) or binary data, use the SocketScan 10 SDK

to convert the data before it is sent to your application. Learn more about the SDK at:

http://www.socketmobile.com/products/sdk/

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 7

ABOUT SOCKETSCAN 10 SDK

If you are a developer who would like to add support for the CHS to your mobile application, Socket

offers the SocketScan 10 SDK with support for Apple iOS, Android, Windows, and BlackBerry OS. For

more information, please visit: http://www.socketmobile.com/products/sdk/

Note: For Apple iOS developers who want to use the SDK, the CHS 7Ci, 7Xi or 7XiRx is required.
