Optional: Linking the Reader to a PC in Client Mode
A reader can optionally be linked in client mode to a Bluetooth-enabled PC with the se-
rial port profile.
To do this, follow these steps:
1. Ensure the PC or terminal can network with Bluetooth devices and that it is powered on.
2. Ensure that a COM port is assigned under Services within the bluetooth setup menu.
3. Create a Link label that contains the address of the PC bluetooth adapter.
The link label is a Code 128 function 3 label with the following format:
<FN3 char>LnkB<12 character bluetooth address>
4. Scan the link label created in step 3.
Paging Feature
To help locate a missing reader, press the Base Station Link Button momentarily (less
than one second). This will cause the reader to beep five times at its loudest volume set-
ting.
Programming
The reader is typically factory-configured with a set of default features. After scanning
the interface barcode from the Interfaces section, you can select other options and cus-
tomize your reader through use of the instructions and programming barcodes available
in the corresponding features section for your interface and also the Data Editing and
Symbologies chapters of this manual.
Using the Programming Barcodes
This manual contains feature descriptions and barcodes which allow you to reconfigure
your reader and Base Station. Some programming barcode labels, like the Resetting the
Product Configuration to Defaults on page 11
, require only the scan of that single label
to enact the change. Most of the programming labels in this manual, however, require
the reader to be placed in Programming Mode prior to scanning them. Scan an ENTER/
EXIT barcode once to enter Programming Mode. Once the reader is in Programming
Mode, you can scan a number of parameter settings before scanning the ENTER/EXIT
barcode a second time, which will then accept your changes, exit Programming Mode
and return the reader to normal operation.
NOTE
The bluetooth address can be found under "Properties" within in the
bluetooth setup menu.
NOTE
There are some exceptions to the typical programming sequence
described above. Please read the description and setting instruc-
tions carefully when configuring each given programmable feature.
