Using the Barcode Reader
Your M9020 has a built-in barcode reader which is a 2D imager that you can
use to scan barcodes.
NOTE:
• The built-in barcode reader is an optional accessory.
• Alternatively, you can also use a Bluetooth scanner or connect an external barcode
scanner to the USB or RS-232 ports.
Perform the following to scan barcodes using the built-in barcode reader:
1. Press and hold the barcode button ( ) to active the barcode reader. The
barcode reader lights red.
2. Point the beam to the barcode label. The device emits a beep sound when
the barcode is read properly.
CAUTION:
• DO NOT aim the barcode scanner into the eyes. It may severely damage the eyes or
may cause blindness if pointed directly into eyes.

Working With Bluetooth Scanners
Scanner Manager recognizes Bluetooth scanners that are in master mode. This
means that the scanner initiates the connection. In order to do that, it must have
a way to know which unit to connect to.
Scanner manufacturers explain how to proceed to congure and pair their
devices in their documentation. Usually, the user must create a special barcode
based on the Bluetooth MAC address of the computer. Once that barcode has
been generated, it does not change. It can be placed on the M9020, and the
next time any scanner has to be associated with the unit, an operator simply
needs to scan the code and wait the connection to be established automatically.
For DAP and Symbol/Motorola scanners, you can use the Bluetooth Master
Pairing tab in the ScannerManager Bluetooth settings as follows:
Bluetooth Master Conguration When Using BlueSoleil or the Microsoft BT Stack
The Bluetooth Master Conguration dialog box allows the ltering of which
Bluetooth scanner to accept a connection from. With the default values (empty),
the rst detected device using the Serial Port Prole (SPP) will be selected. In
most cases, this is correct. If you are using more than one SPP devices, change
the values to select, for example, only scanners from a given model.
