USE AND FUNCTIONING

3.7 WINDOWS CONNECTIONS
To connect the Datalogic Memor™ to another device (i.e. Host PC) from
Windows, several programs are available. These programs require specific
electrical connections in order to function properly.
3.7.1 Microsoft® ActiveSync®
Microsoft
®
ActiveSync
®
gives you the possibility to connect your desktop
computer to your Datalogic Memor™ and synchronize the information on them.
Synchronization compares the data on the Datalogic Memor™ with that on the
desktop computer and updates both computers with the most recent
information.
With ActiveSync
®
, it is possible to:
- Back up and restore Datalogic Memor™ data.
- Copy files between Datalogic Memor™ and desktop computer.
- Synchronize files by selecting a synchronization mode.
You can establish an ActiveSync
®
connection to your Datalogic Memor™
through the following electrical interfaces:
- RS232 either directly or through the Single Cradle
- USB either directly or through the Single Cradle
- Bluetooth® (see par. 3.7.2)
It is possible to constantly synchronize while connected to a desktop computer
or, alternatively, synchronization can be performed only when the synchronize
command is chosen. You can select which information types are synchronized
and control how much data is synchronized.
NOTE
By default, ActiveSync
®
does not automatically synchronize
all types of information. Use ActiveSync
®
options to turn
synchronization on and off for specific information types.
For example:
Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between the Datalogic
Memor™ and the desktop computer. The files will automatically be converted to
the correct format.
