the connection is done by scanning a pairing bar code for the remote device (see Pairing Bar Code Format on
page 5-29).
Slave
When the digital scanner is set up as a Slave device (SPP), the digital scanner accepts an incoming connection
request from a remote device.

You can set a meaningful name for the digital scanner that appears in the application during device discovery. The
default name is the digital scanner name followed by its serial number, e.g., DS2278 123456789ABCDEF.
Scanning Set Defaults reverts the digital scanner to this name; use custom defaults to maintain the
user-programmed name through a Set Defaults operation.
To set a new Bluetooth Friendly Name, scan the following bar code, then scan up to 23 characters from Appendix
H, Alphaumeric Bar Codes. If the name contains less than 23 characters, Then scan End of Message in the
Advanced Data Formatting Guide.
NOTE The number of digital scanners is dependent on the host capability.
NOTE If your application allows you to set a device name, this takes precedence over the Bluetooth Friendly
Name.
