4.3 SET UP BLUETOOTH COMMUNICATION
Before the VEGA scanner can be used for normal operation, Bluetooth
communication must be set up between the VEGA scanner and cradle.
4.3.1 Pairing
Pairing refers to when a VEGA scanner has been linked or paired to a specific
cradle by scanning that cradle’s Bluetooth MAC address code, this Bluetooth MAC
address code is unique for each cradle. This address code is located on the
bottom side of the cradle. The pairing of a VEGA scanner to a cradle is one to
one. Only one VEGA scanner can be paired to a cradle at any point in time.
4.3.2 Set up Client Mode Communication
To set-up the communication between the VEGA scanner and the cradle follow
the next steps:
1. The VEGA scanner must scan “Scanner Client Mode ON/Scanner Server
mode Off” barcode. To set the VEGA scanner in client mode.
2. Scan the Bluetooth MAC address code located on the bottom of the
cradle.
3. When the Bluetooth MAC was successfully scanned, scanner will initiate
with short beep sounds. Blue and red led will also blink followed by a long
beep sound. Blue led will turn off to finish the set up.
4. Wait approximately five seconds, for completing the connection process.
5. If successful, the blue led on the cradle will be on.
6. If the connections failed the scanner indicates with shot beep sounds and
the cradle with blinking blue led.
Scantech-ID VEGA Area Imager 21
ATTENTION
The VEGA scanner must be charged for a minimum of 8 hours
before the scanner can be placed in full operation for the first time.
The cradle red led will indicate in red when the scanner is charged.
After the battery is full, the red light will be off.
If the battery power of the VEGA is too low, the VEGA will indicate
this with red led and beeper warning.
It is important to know that the VEGA scanner will only communicate with the
cradle whose unique Bluetooth MAC address was the last address scanned.
If a cradle is paired with the VEGA scanner, another VEGA scanner can’t be
paired with that cradle until the original connection is broken.
If you pair a second VEGA scanner to an in use cradle, the cradle’s connection to
the first VEGA scanner will be broken and the connection re-established with the
second VEGA scanner.

4.3.3 Set up Server Mode Communication
To set-up the communication between the VEGA scanner and Bluetooth
application device follow the next steps.
1. The VEGA scanner must scan “Scanner Server Mode ON/Scanner Client
Mode Off” barcode , to set the VEGA scanner in server mode.
2. When control the Bluetooth device to search the scanner, enter pin code
(default 00:00:00:00) to setup comport.
3. When VEGA scanner is successful connected, scanner will initiate with
short beep sounds. Blue and red led will also blink followed by a long
beep sound. Blue led will turn off to finish the set up.
4.3.4 Sleep mode
The VEGA scanner is equipped with sleep mode function to save battery energy,
when the VEGA scanner is not used for a specified time. During sleep mode all
the functions and connection will be halted, After press the red trigger button
the scanner can be wake up and reconnect the communication with the cradle.
The waiting time to go into sleep mode can be set into 1 minute or 10 minutes by
scanning the according programming code, see chapter 7.
4.3.5 Memory mode
This memory mode function is enabled when the Bluetooth connection fail and you
have scanned data. This data is stored in the memory of the VEGA scanner.
When scan barcode “memory read” stored data will be immediately transmit to
the cradle after reconnection, when scan barcode “memory clear” all stored
memory data will be erased.
The capacity of this memory depends on the scanned data size, approximately 50
sets of data.
This function is not operational when there is successful Bluetooth connection.

For a complete overview of support symbologies see appendix.
If you need programming codes for symbologies which are not available in this
chapter, please contact Scantech-ID Technical Support department or use
VEGA utility tool.
7.6.2 Disable all Symbologies.
Disable all Symbologies
- Disabled all Symbologies.
- Use the “OFF” option to disable individual symbologies.
- Does not reset individual parameters settings for each symbology.
(When you enable
a symbology, you recover the parameter settings stored in
memory for that symbology when it was disabled – use reset factory defaults to
reset all the symbology parameters to their factory default settings).

7.16 PREAMBLES AND POSTAMBLES
7.16.1 Preamble
The scanner can be programmed to output Bar code data according the following
format: [PREAMBLE STRING] [BAR CODE DATA]
Example:
To send a <STX> in front of the bar code, scan only programming code <STX>.
As a result, the scanner will give the following bar code output:
[<STX>] [BAR CODE DATA]
Preamble <None>
<STX>
It could be possible that you need other Preambles, in that case please use VEGA
Utility tool or contact Scantech-ID Technical Support Department.

7.17 OPERATING SETTINGS
7.17.1 Imager mode
You can set the best reading performance of your VEGA by adjusting certain
imager parameters. To choose the best reading performance, depends on the
environment, your used application and type of bar codes.
• Area mode for decode 1D and 2D bar codes.
• Linear mode for decode 1D Bar codes.
Area mode allows you to set the position of the VEGA in any direction regardless
of the orientation of the bar code, and perform a good read on 1D and 2D bar
codes.
Linear mode allows you to increase your decoding speed while scanning 1D bar
codes. But, you need to position the beam so that it falls across all bars in the 1D
bar code.
<Area mode>
Linear mode
Scantech-ID VEGA Area Imager 73
7.17.2 Scanning Triggering
<Level>
A reading session begins (lighting and decode processing on) when
beam is activated and stops when beam is deactivated.
Continuous scanning
When the scanner is turned on a continuous reading session begins
(lighting and decode processing on).
Pulse
A reading session begins when beam is activated and stays
on until a period of inactivity lasting the time specified by the timeout.
After the timeout, the scan engine turns off.
Continuous + Flashing
When the scan engine is turned on, a reading session begins (no
need to activate the beam).
After a period of inactivity lasting the time specified by the timeout,
the scan engine starts flashing, checking for a bar code to be read.
When a bar code is detected, the lighting automatically turns on and
stays on until another period of inactivity (timeout).
After the timeout the scan engine starts flashing again.
74 Programming Codes
Level + Flashing
This mode allows you the switch between level and flashing mode.
When the scanner is turned on it is in flashing mode (see flashing
mode for explanation).
You can automatically switch to level mode by activating the beam line.
After a period of inactivity lasting the time specified by the timeout
the scan engine switches back to flashing mode.
