 16 5 Operations of the scanner Note: 1. Please establish a Bluetooth network and hold the scanner in the range of the network before the first  time  of  scanning  barcodes  (See  chapters  of  Configure  Bluetooth  HID  keyboard  profile communication, Configure Bluetooth SPP slave profile communication, and Configure Bluetooth SPP master profile communication). 2. The scanner can perform a barcode scan operation even though no Bluetooth network is available. However, the  scanner  may react in a way that differs from what  is  described  here  if  no  Bluetooth network is working. 5-1 Scan   Steps: Step 1: When the scanner is powered on, the LCD screen is displayed as below.  Step 2: Hold the scanner close to the barcode and press the Scan Key . Note: When the scanner is scanning, ensure the scan line crosses every bar and space of the symbol.  RIGHT  WRONG Step 3: The scanner port emits a laser to scan the barcode.    The decode success indicator lights green when the scan is successful.    The window will show as below.  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scan mode Good-read off - The Scan key must be pressed once to activate scanning. The light source of scanner stops scanning when there is a successful reading or no code is decoded after the Stand-by duration elapsed.   Momentary - The Scan key acts as a switch.    Press the key to activate scanning and release the key to stop scanning.    The light source of scanner stops scanning when there is a successful reading or no code is decoded after the Stand-by duration elapsed.   Continuous - The scanner always keeps scanning, and it does not matter when the Scan key is released or duration is elapsed.
 17 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quantity enter User can select to enable/disable the Quantity Enter. When Quantity Enter is enabled, user can set the number  (0  to  9999)  of  barcode  transmissions.  For  example,  a  barcode  “123456789”  is  read.  Five “123456789” will be received by the host, given that the quantity is 5. The quantity decides how many identify barcodes a host receives upon a single successful read.   The following steps demonstrate the procedure to set a quantity. Step 1: Enable Quantity Enter, press the Scan Key to read a barcode. Example display:  Step 2: Press Right Soft Key to the window below.  Step 3: Use Navigation Keys to move the cursor, Scan/Select Key to select number(s), Right Soft Key to delete selected number(s). And then press Left Soft Key to continue.  Step 4: Finally press Left Soft Key to complete. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Add Time/Date The time/data information can be added as an appendix to a barcode by enabling the Add Time/Date. Example display when Add Time is enabled:  Example display when both Add Time and Add Date are enabled:  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Input barcode
 18 Using the virtual keypad, user can input a barcode manually, and then send the barcode to the host. Make sure a communication link (Bluetooth network or USB cable) is working.  5-2 Data Transfer ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Bluetooth   See  System  Setting  -  Bluetooth  for  instructions  to  establish  a  Bluetooth  network.    Three  options  are listed below. Out of range batch- The scanner starts storing barcode data when it loses its connection to a remote host (for example, when a user holding the scanner walks out of range). Data transmission is triggered by reestablishing the connection with the host (for example, when a user holding the scanner walks back into range). Auto  reconnection-  When  scanner’s  Bluetooth  is  power  on,  it  will  try  to  establish  the  wireless connection with the host which it last connected, if Auto Reconnection is enabled. Inter-character delay- This delay is inserted after each data character transmitted.    Some Bluetooth communication needs large delay to avoid data missing. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- USB HID keyboard When the scanner is USB connected to a PC, it will be identified as a USB HID keyboard and behaves as a USB wired scanner. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- USB Virtual COM When the scanner is USB connected to a PC, it will be identified as a USB Virtual COM and acts as a RS-232 wired scanner. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- U Disk Barcode data is always stored in a text file (TXT file), that is, the scanner functions as a barcode data collector. The scanner will be identified as a USB removable driver when it is USB connected to a PC.   The scanner decides target file to store barcodes according to following rules: 9 If a file is selected by the user, the selected file will be the target file. 9 If there is no file in the U-Disk, a file will be created and named “TARGET.txt” by the scanner when it is powered on or restart. In this case, TARGET.txt will be the target file. 9 The file selected to be the target file is labeled √.
 19 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Create New Files Note: 1. Files can be opened/edited/saved/renamed/deleted by the user of a PC and created/emptied/deleted by the user of a mobile scanner.   2. A valid filename, not including the suffix, is composed of up to 8 characters from three groups: Upper case letters “A”–“Z”, Numbers 0–9 and special sign ! # $ % & ' ( ) - @ ^ _ ` { } ~ . 3. Only part of the filename will be displayed if there are more than 8 characters in a filename. e.g. "TextFile1Mine.txt" will be shown as "TEXTFI~1.TXT" 4. Lower case is not supported and “a”-“z” will be displayed as “A”-“Z” respectively for a filename. e.g. “ABCabc.txt" will be shown as "ABCABC.TXT". When a file is created, the filename can be input by using the virtual keyboard.    Use Navigation Keys to move the cursor, Scan/Select Key to select number(s), Right Soft Key to delete selected number(s). And then press Left Soft Key to complete.  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- List Files This menu can be selected to list all files in the root directory.    The file selected to be the target file is labeled √.    The operations described below are imposed to the cursor-on file, which is not necessary to be the target file. Example:  Options Menu Note: Press Left Soft Key to popup this menu.    Caution: Empty and Delete operations are not undoable.    It is strongly recommended to back up the data before empty or delete operation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Empty/Delete Files
 20 If the U-disk is almost full, occupied room can be released by emptying/deleting some files.   A target file is protected by system and prevented from being deleting. In this case, the file that is wanted to be deleted should be deselected and then deleted. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Format a U Disk Note 1: The format function is a quick way to empty a whole U Disk.   Note 2: Please format the U Disk once before the first time of use.  Caution:  1. Format operation will erase all data on the disk.   2. Format operation is not undoable.    It is strongly recommended to back up the data before format operation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Data batch The scanner starts storing barcode data in Date Batch mode. The collected barcode data can then be sent to a host via Bluetooth/USB.    Three options are listed below. Send  batch  data-  Data  transmission  is  triggered  by  this  menu  command.    Before  undertaking  this operation, make sure a communication link (Bluetooth network or USB cable) is working. Interfaces-  There  are  three  communication  interfaces:  Bluetooth,  USB  HID  keyboard,  USB  virtual COM.    A Bluetooth link is needed in the first case (See System SettingÆBluetooth).   Data statistics- User can select to enable/disable the Data Statistics.    When it is enabled, the number of a barcode would be added to the end of the barcode.    The eighth barcode is “123456789” in the example below. Example:   5-3 System Setting - Bluetooth   5-3-1 Bluetooth functionalities The  scanner  can  be  configured  to  send  data  to  a  PC/Notebook/PDA/other  instrument  which  has  an integrated  Bluetooth  module  or  is  connected  with  an  external  Bluetooth  USB  adapter.  A  diagram  of Bluetooth functionalities and a table of various Bluetooth profiles are shown below, respectively:
 21  Figure 5-1. Diagram of Bluetooth functionalities Table 5-1. Various Bluetooth profiles HID Keyboard  The scanner connects to the PC/host via Bluetooth and behaves like a keyboard.  The  scanner  accepts  incoming connection  requested  from  a remote device and is the slave. SPP slave  The  scanner  connects  to  the  PC/host  via  Bluetooth  and  behaves  like there is a serial  connection.  The  scanner  accepts  incoming  connection requested from a remote device and is the Slave. SPP master  The  scanner  connects  to  the  PC/host  via  Bluetooth  and  behaves  like there is a serial connection. The scanner initiates the connection to the remote device and is the Master. A master SPP mainly differs from a slave one in the process of connection and they are identical in the process of use in terms of function.     Bluetooth-enabled smart phones and PDAs can host the scanner in general.    However, ordinary mobile phones with Bluetooth function can not be a host of the scanner because in most cases neither HID nor SPP profile is supported by them.  5-3-2 Configure Bluetooth HID keyboard profile communication Note:  Make  sure  the  Bluetooth  module  of  the  scanner  is  powered  on  (blue  LED  is  on)  and  the selected profile is System SettingÆBluetoothÆBT HID Keyboard. Step1. Plug a Bluetooth USB adapter into the USB port of the computer. Step2.  Double-click  the  Bluetooth  icon  at  the  right  bottom  corner  on  Windows  OS  (   ). Alternatively, you may go to Control Panel->Bluetooth Device. Step3. Click Add to search devices nearby.
 22  Step4. Click to select “My device is set up and ready to be found” and click Next.  Step5. It takes a few seconds for the Wizard to search devices. The scanner will appear with its serial number as the device name.    If the target scanner is seen on the list, click and select the target scanner.    Click Next.    If the target scanner does not appear on the list, click [Search Again] to refresh the list.     Step6. Click and select “Let me choose my own passkey”. Enter a passkey for authentication and click Next.
 23 Step7. The scanner promotes the user to accept the connection request. Press Left Soft Key to accept.  Step8. Enter a passkey which is exactly the same as that entered from the PC. Use Navigation Key to move the cursor, Scan/Select Key to select number(s), Right Software Key to delete selected number. Finally press Left Software Key to continue.  Step9. Wait for a few seconds for Windows to exchange passkeys.    Step10. Click Finish  Step11. Now the target scanner will be listed as shown below.
 24  Step12. Run the desired application, such as a Notepad and scan barcodes to check data transmission.   5-3-3 Configure Bluetooth SPP slave profile communication Note: Make sure the Bluetooth module of the scanner is powered on (blue LED is on) and the selected profile is System SettingÆBluetoothÆBT SPP Slave. Step1-9: The same as Configure Bluetooth HID keyboard step 1~9. Step10. Click [Finish]
