Using the Client

Once the Velocity Client has been installed, the Velocity app will appear in the list of installed apps. To launch the Client, tap the Velocity icon. The Velocity Client works with a device's built-in camera. When you scan data, it appears in the currently-selected field. You can perform the following most-common actions with the Client:

• To connect to a host, select a host profile when you first launch the Velocity Client. To create a new host profile, see Configuring Host Profiles.

• To access the main menu, tap the Menu button in the bottom-right corner of the screen. You must be connected to a host to access the menu.

• To begin another session when you already have a session open, tap the Menu button. When the menu appears, tap Add Host Profile to connect to another host. You can only connect to a maximum of four sessions at once.

• To switch to another connected session, tap the Menu button, and then tap the name of the host you want to work in. The active session appears.

• To disconnect a host session, tap the Menu button. Then tap the X next to the name of the session you want to disconnect from.

• To exit the Client, disconnect any current sessions and then tap the Menu button. When the menu appears, tap Exit.

• To launch a keyboard on a screen, tap the keyboard button at the bottom of the screen. This loads the default or a custom keyboard, depending on if custom keyboards are associated with a host profile.

• To switch between multiple custom keyboards, swipe left or right across the keyboard to cycle through other custom keyboards. This functionality only works if custom keyboards created with Velocity Console are associated with the host profile.
