2.5 Checking The Scanner
If your hand-held is equipped with an internal scanner, you can test it to ensure that it is op-
erating properly. Point the scanner window at a bar code that your scanner was designed to
decode. Press the SCAN key or the pistol trigger, and check for a valid decode on the hand-
held screen.
Performance is improved if you disable all unneeded bar codes in the Bar Codes screen.
Review “Scanner Settings” on page 134 or details about bar codes.
2.6 Data Transfer Between The PC And The Hand-Held
Data transfer options vary slightly depending on the type of operating system installed in
your PC. Microsoft
®
ActiveSync
®
is PC connectivity software that can be used to connect
your hand-held to PCs running this software. ActiveSync works only with the Windows XP
SP2 operating system or earlier.
If the Microsoft
®
Vista
®
operating system is installed in your PC, ActiveSync is not re-
quired to transfer data between NEO and your PC.
By connecting NEO to a PC with a cable, you can:
•
View NEO files from Windows Explorer.
• Drag and drop files between NEO and the PC in the same way that you would between
PC drives.
• Back up NEO files to the PC, then restore them from the PC to the hand-held again, if
needed, and so on.
2.6.1 Using Microsoft ActiveSync
To install ActiveSync, follow the step-by-step instructions provided with the program’s
setup wizard. Refer to the following website for details:
