DATALOGIC SKORPIO™ 3 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.
USE AND FUNCTIONING 3.8.2 Uploading/Downloading Connection 3 Files through an RS232 Files can be uploaded/downloaded through the device cradle connected via an RS232 cable. Before performing this operation, it is first necessary to define the PC and the mobile computer settings and connection. If uploading/downloading files through a serial connection, Microsoft® ® ActiveSync is not used.
3 DATALOGIC SKORPIO™ 2 - Mobile Computer Settings Follow the procedure to define the connection settings: a) From the device desktop activate “Control Panel”, then “Network and Dial-up connections” and choose “Make New Connection”.
