Data Capture
Introduction
This chapter provides information for capturing bar code data using the internal camera and optional scan modules
and Bluetooth scanner.
The MC33XX offers the following data capture options:
•imager.
•laser scanner.
•RS507 Hands-free imager.
•RS6000 Bluetooth Ring Scanner.
Imager
The device with an integrated imager has the following features:
•Omnidirectional reading of a variety of bar code symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal,
PDF417, and 2D matrix code types.
•Advanced intuitive laser aiming cross-hair for easy point-and-shoot operation.
The modules uses digital camera technology to take a digital picture of a bar code, stores the resulting image in its
memory, and executes state-of-the-art software decoding algorithms to extract the data from the image.
Operational Modes
The device with an integrated imager supports two modes of operation, listed below. Activate each mode by
pressing a scan button.
•Decode Mode: In this mode, the device attempts to locate and decode enabled bar codes within its field of
view. The imager remains in this mode as long as the user holds the scan button, or until it decodes a bar
code.
NOTE:DataWedge is installed and enabled on the MC33XX by default.
By default, the good decode beep is set to system volume (Music and Media). The good decode
beep can be set to another sound (Notifications or Alarms) and the volume can be independently
controlled. See the DataWedge section in the MC33XX Integrator Guide for more information.

•Pick List Mode: This mode allows the user to selectively decode a bar code when more than one bar code
is in the device’s field of view. To accomplish this, move the aiming crosshair over the required bar code to
decode only this bar code. This feature is ideal for pick lists containing multiple bar codes and
manufacturing or transport labels containing more than one bar code type (either 1D or 2D).
Laser Scanner
The MC33XX with laser scanner has the following features:
•Reading of a variety of bar code symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal, and 1-D code
types.
•Intuitive aiming for easy point-and-shoot operation.
RS507 Hands-Free Imager
The RS507 Hands-free Imager is a wearable bar code scan solution for both 1D and 2D bar code symbologies.
The scanner supports Simple Serial Interface (SSI) andBluetooth Human Interface Device (HID) connection to the
device where the scanner emulates a keyboard.

Scanning Considerations
Typically, scanning is a simple matter of aim, scan, and decode where a few quick trial efforts master it. However,
consider the following to optimize scanning performance:
•Range
•Any scanning device decodes well over a particular working range — minimum and maximum
distances from the bar code. This range varies according to bar code density and scanning device
optics.
Scanning within range brings quick and constant decodes; scanning too close or too far away prevents
decodes. Move the scanner closer and farther away to find the right working range for the bar codes
being scanned.
•Angle
•Scan angle is important for promoting quick decodes. When laser beams reflect directly back into the
scanner from the bar code, this specular reflection can “blind” the scanner.
To avoid this, scan the bar code so that the beam does not bounce directly back. But do not scan at
too sharp an angle; the scanner needs to collect scattered reflections from the scan to make a
successful decode. Practice quickly shows what tolerances to work within.
•Hold the device farther away for larger symbols.
•Move the device closer for symbols with bars that are close together.
Bar Code Capture with Imager
To capture bar code data:
1. Ensure that an application is open on the device and a text field is in focus (text cursor in text field).
2. Point the top of the device at a bar code.

Bluetooth
Bluetooth-equipped devices can communicate without wires, using frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS)
radio frequency (RF) to transmit and receive data in the 2.4 GHz Industry Scientific and Medical (ISM) band
(802.15.1). Bluetooth wireless technology is specifically designed for short-range (10 meters (32.8 feet) )
communication and low power consumption.
Devices with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information (e.g., files, appointments, and tasks) with other
Bluetooth enabled devices such as printers, access points, and other mobile devices.
The MC33XX supports Bluetooth Low Energy. Bluetooth Low Energy is targeted at applications in the healthcare,
fitness, security, and home entertainment industries. It provides reduced power consumption and cost while
maintaining standard Bluetooth range.
Adaptive Frequency Hopping
Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH) is a method of avoiding fixed frequency interferers, and can be used with
Bluetooth voice. All devices in the piconet (Bluetooth network) must be AFH-capable in order for AFH to work.
There is no AFH when connecting and discovering devices. Avoid making Bluetooth connections and discoveries
during critical 802.11b communications. AFH for Bluetooth consists of four main sections:
•Channel Classification - A method of detecting an interference on a channel-by-channel basis, or
pre-defined channel mask.
•Link Management - Coordinates and distributes the AFH information to the rest of the Bluetooth network.
•Hop Sequence Modification - Avoids interference by selectively reducing the number of hopping channels.
•Channel Maintenance - A method for periodically re-evaluating the channels.
When AFH is enabled, the Bluetooth radio “hops around” (instead of through) the 802.11b high-rate channels. AFH
coexistence allows Enterprise devices to operate in any infrastructure.
The Bluetooth radio in this device operates as a Class 2 device power class. The maximum output power is 2.5
mW and the expected range is 10 meters (32.8 ft.). A definition of ranges based on power class is difficult to obtain
due to power and device differences, and whether one measures open space or closed office space.
Security
The current Bluetooth specification defines security at the link level. Application-level security is not specified. This
allows application developers to define security mechanisms tailored to their specific need. Link-level security
occurs between devices, not users, while application-level security can be implemented on a per-user basis. The
Bluetooth specification defines security algorithms and procedures required to authenticate devices, and if needed,
encrypt the data flowing on the link between the devices. Device authentication is a mandatory feature of Bluetooth
while link encryption is optional.
Pairing of Bluetooth devices is accomplished by creating an initialization key used to authenticate the devices and
create a link key for them. Entering a common personal identification number (PIN) in the devices being paired
generates the initialization key. The PIN is never sent over the air. By default, the Bluetooth stack responds with no
key when a key is requested (it is up to user to respond to the key request event). Authentication of Bluetooth
devices is based-upon a challenge-response transaction. Bluetooth allows for a PIN or passkey used to create
other 128-bit keys used for security and encryption. The encryption key is derived from the link key used to

operation is required.

authenticate the pairing devices. Also worthy of note is the limited range and fast frequency hopping of the
Bluetooth radios that makes long-distance eavesdropping difficult.
Recommendations are:
•Perform pairing in a secure environment
•Keep PIN codes private and do not store the PIN codes in the device
•Implement application-level security.
Bluetooth Profiles
The MC33XX supports the following Bluetooth services:
•Service Discovery Protocol (SDP) - Handles the search for known and specific services as well as general
services.
•Serial Port Profile (SPP) - Allows use of RFCOMM protocol to emulate serial cable connection between
two Bluetooth peer devices. For example, connecting the device to a printer.
•Object Push Profile (OPP) - Allows the device to push and pull objects to and from a push server.
•Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) - Allows the device to stream stereo-quality audio to a wireless
headset or wireless stereo speakers.
•Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP) - Allows the device to control A/V equipment to which a user
has access. It may be used in concert with A2DP.
•Personal Area Network (PAN) - Allows the use of Bluetooth Network Encapsulation Protocol to provide L3
networking capabilities over a Bluetooth link. Only PANU role is supported.
•Human Interface Device Profile (HID) - Allows Bluetooth keyboards, pointing devices, gaming devices and
remote monitoring devices to connect to the device.
•Headset Profile (HSP) - Allows a hands-free device, such as a Bluetooth headset, to place and receive
calls on the device.
•Hands-Free Profile (HFP) - Allows car hands-free kits to communicate with the device in the car.
•Phone Book Access Profile (PBAP) - Allows exchange of Phone Book Objects between a car kit and a
mobile device to allow the car kit to display the name of the incoming caller; allow the car kit to download
the phone book so the user can initiate a call from the car display.
•Symbol Serial Interface (SSI) - Allows for communication with Bluetooth Imager.
•File Transfer Profile (FTP) - Provides the capability to browse, manipulate and transfer files in file system
of another system. Uses GOEP as a basis.
•Generic Attribute Profile (GATT) - Provides profile discovery and description services for Bluetooth Low
Energy protocol. It defines how attributes are grouped together into sets to form services.
•HID Over GATT Profile (HOGP) - Defines the procedures and features used by Bluetooth low energy HID
Devices using GATT and Bluetooth HID Hosts using GATT.
•Scan Parameters Profile (ScPP) - Provides devices with information to assist them in managing their
connection idle timeout and advertising parameters to optimize for power consumption and/or
reconnection latency.
