CONNECTION MODES (CONTINUED)
CONNECTION MODES
HID Keyboard Emulation mode (default)
In HID mode the CHS emulates a keyboard. This is a universal connection
method and will work with any application that has a text eld.
The application receives the data input from the CHS. The CHS includes
a keyboard pop-up feature so you can disable the CHS and accept data
input from the onscreen keyboard on the device. Pages 10-11 provides
the connection steps using HID mode.
MAC OS devices are connected using HID mode.
iOS devices are connected using either iOS mode or HID mode, but
not both together.
The CHS is connected to your iOS device using one of the following
modes:
1. iOS mode
2. HID Keyboard Emulation mode (default)
iOS mode
iOS mode is used with a Scanner-enabled Application. Scanner controls
are embedded in the Application to provide better performance, secu-
rity, features, and domain-specic capabilities.
If you purchased a Scanner-enabled Application on the Apple App Store
(or through the Apple Volume Purchase Program for Business) that
features integrated support for the CHS, we recommend you install that
Application on your device and follow the Application instructions to
connect with the CHS. If the connection steps are not documented in
the Application, please see pages 12-13 for the connection steps using
iOS mode.
Please visit the Socket Mobile App Store to conrm your Scanner-enabled
Application supports the CHS.
