PX-36 V-1.0 6 1 Abstract This manual provides specifications for the PX-36 Bluetooth data collector with built-in 2D barcode scanner. 2 Overview The PX-36 is a programmable data collector that features a CMOS image sensor, built-in Bluetooth and IrDA for data communication. The CMOS barcode engine is able to read barcodes in its view, regardless of their direction even when they are upside down they can be read. This scanner is also particular well suited to read barcodes from LCD screens. The PX-36 has a single green LED aiming line towards a target bar code that helps users to find the most optimal scanning position. Bluetooth is one of the communication options for this device allowing it to wirelessly connect to many peripherals like printers, smart phones and tablets. The supported profiles are SPP (Serial port profiles) and HID (keyboard emulation). This means that the scanner can work with many Bluetooth-enabled host devices, such as PCs, tablet PCs and smart phones. Infra-red is another communication option of the PX-36. Stored data can be sent out via an IrDA Ver.1.2-compliant infra-red transceiver. For easy connection to a computer, Opticon sells several cradles that can be used to receive the infra-red transmission and convert that to a standard RS232 or USB signal that can be connected to any computer. On top of the communication features that the cradles can offer, they can also be used to charge the battery inside the data collector. The PX-36 also has a clock function, allowing it to add a time stamp to scanned barcode data. Last but not least, the PX-36 is fully programmable allowing users to write a wide range of applications that allow the PX-36 to exactly according to their wishes.
