INSTALLING FROM THE PRODUCT CD
Data collection mainly consists of three elements: input (scanning or key-in), data
processing, and output (or updating database). FORGE Application Generator for
8000/8300/8400/8500 Series Mobile Computers is specifically designed to deal with the
sequences of data processing inside the mobile computers.

default directory “C:\CipherLab\Forge\Batch\”.
