Introduction

The Socket Mobile 7Ci Barcode Scanner can be used for scanning items to your iPad POS register, or for scanning barcode numbers to your BackOffice.

These 2 require different modes, which will be explained in this article.

• iOS mode: scan items directly to iPad POS register while processing transactions
• Keyboard mode: scan barcode numbers into the BackOffice. Once you’ve set up Keyboard mode, you can scan barcodes while accessing your BackOffice on the iPad

Press and hold down the trigger button AND the power button at the same time.

Using Your Scanner as a Keyboard

You can use your scanner as a keyboard, in order to scan your barcode numbers into the BackOffice. To do so, you will need to set up the scanner to HID-Keyboard mode.

Step 1.
Un-pair the scanner (refer to the section above).

Step 2.
On your iPad, go to Settings > Bluetooth. At Socket CHS, click the "i" button and 'Forget This Device'.

Step 3.
Change the profile to HID-Keyboard mode by scanning the first barcode on page 23 of your 1D Imager Quickstart Guide. The scanner will beep 3 times.

Step 4.
On your iPad, tap Settings > General > Bluetooth, and turn on Bluetooth. A Bluetooth device search will begin.

Step 5.
Tap 'Socket CHS' in the list of Devices found. After a few seconds the Not Paired status will change to Connected and the BLUE LED will blink every 3 seconds confirming the connection. Now you are ready to scan barcodes.

Step 6.
Click on the trigger button to scan barcodes.

Now you can scan your barcodes while accessing your BackOffice on the iPad. To switch back to scanner mode, un-pair the scanner and set it up again.
