Installation the Scan Ticket Application

These instructions are based on installation using Active Sync using a windows XP computer.

If you have Window vista or later, Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) replaces ActiveSync. You can skip the install of Active Sync 4.5

You will also need to know the scanner type you have (MC50, MC55, or MC55A) and select the latest version of the software from the appropriate folder in the installer archive.

Step 1

Once connected to active sync or equivalent (the window does not have to be open):

• go back to the folder (in the install software) where the active sync 4.5 installer application is.
• Click on the install.bat file. This moves a copy of the hand held ticket scanner program onto the actual scanner.
• You will see a window giving you a chance to continue with the install program or to quit.
• Click any key to install.

As the install progresses, you see the results of dos commands and file copy. This step can take a while (perhaps 10 minutes) as it moves the data onto the hand held device.

Do not unplug the hand held device during the installation.

Step 3

While the sync is occurring, the scanner device will show items are being transferred with a set of left/right arrows on the screen near the time.

There is no animation of the arrows while the transfer is happening.

Step 4

At the end of the install, the DOS screen will close on your computer and the screen on your mobile device will ask if you want to reset the computer.

Although the messages 'all data and files will be removed', it really means the data that supported the installation of TM or other programs.

Click Yes

Step 5

After the restart of the device, you need to follow through with the device initialization.
