BLUETOOTH CONNECTION
To pair the Bluetooth enabled devices to a Bluetooth enabled host
1. Connect the device to the host using the USB port and use the Universal
Configurator to set the data output mode to Bluetooth.
Select the Bluetooth profile supported by the host or required by the
application.
• Serial Port Profile (SPP) - The scanner connects to the host via Bluetooth
and emulates a serial connection. The scanner accepts an incoming
connection requested by a Bluetooth host.
• Bluetooth Keyboard Emulation (HID) -
The scanner connects to the host via Bluetooth and emulates a keyboard. The
scanner accepts an incoming connection, requested by a Bluetooth host.
(See the powerlineECCO+ user guide to see how to define beeps and vibrate
signals by using the Universal Configurator.)
2. Save the settings and disconnect the device from the computer.
On the host computer, launch the third party Bluetooth pairing application and
place the application into discover Bluetooth device mode.
3. Select the powerlineECCO+ from the discovered device list. The Bluetooth
application may prompt you to scan a passkey it generated, or for you to
create one and then scan the pin code.
4. If the Bluetooth application prompts you to generate a pin, enter the
configured Bluetooth pin
DEFAULT: 1234
5. If the Bluetooth application prompts you to enter the pass key it generated,
scan
numeric barcodes on page X
and confirm by scanning ENTER
6. The right LED (4) lights constantly blue as long as the device is connected

Transmitting Barcode and/or RFID data to a host
Batch mode
All barcodes and RFID data scanned in batch mode are saved in the file “Output.txt” on
the removable drive “Scanndy”. Connect the device to the host computer via USB and
use the Windows-Explorer to navigate to the device “SCANNDY”. Copy the file
“Output.txt” to the host.
To delete the data from the device just delete the file “Output.txt”
SCANNDY USER GUIDE
Page 13
Transmitting data from a Bluetooth or Wi-Fi device
When the scanner is paired to a host via Bluetooth, the data transmits to the host after
each scanning procedure and is not stored on the scanner unless the scanner moves
out of the range of the host. For out of range usage you can configure the device to
either store the data in a cache memory or do not allow scanning.
If the device was configured to store the out of range captured data, it stores the data
in a file Cache.txt. After reconnection, it transmits all cached data to the host.
(See the powerlineECCO+ user guide to see how to set the device to cache data by
using the Universal Configurator.)
Bidirectional communication for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connected devices
For applications that require bidirectional communication between the device and the
host. PANMOBIL devices support an embedded communication protocol SCOMP and
REMOTE mode.
(See the powerlineECCO+ user guide to see how to set the device to use SCOMP
protocol and/or REMOTE mode by using the Universal Configurator.)
Troubleshooting
Problem
Possible Solution
Device does not turn
on
Make sure the battery is charged
Laser comes on but
device does not
decode barcode
- Ensure the device is configured to read the
type of code being scanned
- Ensure the code is not defaced. Try to read
another Barcode
- Move the device closer to or further from the
code. This depends on your Barcode Size
The device is ON but
does not react on any
button
- Press and hold the buttons 5+6+7+8 for 5
seconds to reset the device. !!! Please note !!!
By the reset the device loses its timestamp.
Before you continue to use it, you must

synchronize the time settings by connecting
- the device again with the Smart Universal
Configurator .The time thereby automatically
synchronized with the system time of your PC.
Specific configuration settings and data will be
not lost by the reset. Stored data and
configuration are not affected by a reset
Bluetooth is not
working
- Ensure that the device is in the correct
Bluetooth Mode (HID or SPP)
- Ensure that you are paired correct to your
host
- Renew your pairing at your host system
Barcode reading
ability has degraded Please clean your Scan Window with a soft
cloth with water.
Nothing happens
