several programs are available. These programs require specific electrical
connections in order to function properly.

Microsoft

ActiveSync
®
gives you the possibility to connect your desktop computer to
your Datalogic Skorpio™ and synchronize the information on them. Synchronization
compares the data on the Datalogic Skorpio™ 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 Skorpio™ data.
- Copy files between Datalogic Skorpio™ and desktop computer.
- Synchronize files by selecting a synchronization mode.
You can establish an ActiveSync
®
connection to your Datalogic Skorpio™ through
the following electrical interfaces:
- USB either directly or through one of the USB cradles (Datalogic Skorpio™

much data is synchronized.

does not automatically synchronize all types
of information. Use ActiveSync
