Admin Tip: What Do I Do if Other Applications Conflict with the Barcode
Display?
If other applications running on the host computer conflict with the barcode display,
do one of the following to show the QBC Connect barcode:
Right-click the Spectralink QBC icon in the system tray and choose Show
Barcode from the popup menu. Spectralink QBC will persistently display
the barcode pattern identifying the host computer until you select Hide
Barcode from the popup menu, or a Spectralink QBC connection is made
to the computer by scanning the barcode.
or
Left-click the Spectralink QBC icon in the system tray. The barcode will be
displayed for five seconds, and then disappear.
2 Scan the barcode on the computer monitor as discussed in the preceding section.
When your smartphone has scanned the barcode pattern and has connected to the
Spectralink QBC application running on the computer, the following will happen:
○ The smartphone will emit a confirmation tone to notify you that it’s connected (as
configured in Settings under the Barcode scanner menu).
○ The Spectralink QBC status icon on the smartphone will change.
○ The Spectralink QBC status icon on the computer will change.
○ The computer will display a ‘connected’ balloon, and, possibly, emit a notification
sound.
At this point, you’re ready to scan data into your target computer application.
3 Ensure that your cursor is in the correct position in the application you’re using to
capture the incoming data.
4 Scan the barcode(s) you want to enter into the target computer application.
After scanning your barcode(s), the smartphone will automatically disconnect from the
computer when the elapsed idle time has reached the inactivity timeout value configured
on the smartphone. The idle time is the time between barcode scans. The counter resets
after each successful barcode scan. A tone will sound when the phone disconnects (as
configured in Settings under the Barcode scanner menu).
Connecting and Scanning Using Single Endpoint Mode
If you’ve installed and configured Spectralink QBC to scan barcodes from your smartphone
using single endpoint mode, there is no need to scan the computer’s barcode as your
smartphone will automatically connect to your computer.
