The digital scanner supports Bluetooth Authentication. Authentication can be requested by either the remote
device or the digital scanner.
PIN Code
Parameter # 552
SSI # F1h 28h
To set and store a PIN code (e.g., password) on the digital scanner to connect to the host:
1. Scan the Set & Store PIN Code bar code below.
2. Scan five alphanumeric programming bar codes using the alphanumeric bar codes beginning on page H-1.
3. Scan End of Message in the Advanced Data Formatting Guide.
The default PIN code is 12345.
If the digital scanner communicates with a host with enabled authentication/encryption, the PIN codes on the digital
scanner and host must match, otherwise pairing fails. To do this, connect the digital scanner to the host when
setting the PIN code, otherwise the new PIN code only takes effect on the digital scanner.
* Bluetooth Classic and Low Energy
Low Energy Only
NOTE A remote device can still request Authentication.
NOTE If a PIN code entry is canceled by the host, it should be canceled on the digital scanner as well. To cancel
a PIN code entry on the digital scanner, scan Cancel on page H-1.
NOTE An extended 16 character PIN code is available for additional security with Open Bluetooth
(SPP and HID).
