LI3678 Quick Start Guide 9
Sending Data to the Host Computer
The cradle receives data from the linear imager scanner via a wireless radio connection and transmits it to the host
computer via the host cable. The linear imager scanner and cradle must be paired for successful wireless
communication.
Pairing
Pairing registers a scanner to the cradle such that the scanner and cradle can exchange information. The STB3678
and FLB3678 operate in two modes: Point-to-Point and Multipoint-to-Point. In Point-to-Point mode, pair the linear
imager scanner to the cradle either by inserting it in the cradle (if pair on contacts is enabled), or by scanning the
pairing bar code. In Multipoint-to-Point mode, you can pair up to seven scanners to one cradle. To use this feature,
scan the multipoint bar code in
Multipoint-to-Point Communication on page 19.
To pair the linear imager scanner with the cradle, scan a pairing bar code. A high-low-high-low beep sequence followed
by a low-high beep sequence indicates successful pairing and connection to the remote device. A long low, long high
beep sequence indicates unsuccessful pairing.
Lost Connection to Host
If scanned data does not transmit to the cradle's host, ensure that all cables are firmly inserted and the power supply is
connected to an appropriate AC outlet, if applicable. If scanned data still does not transmit to the host, reestablish a
connection with the host:
1. Disconnect the power supply from the cradle.
2. Disconnect the host interface cable from the cradle.
3. Wait three seconds.
4. Reconnect the host interface cable to the cradle.
5. Reconnect the power supply to the cradle, if the host requires.
6. Reestablish pairing with the cradle by scanning the pairing bar code.
Configuring the Scanner
Use the bar codes in this manual or the 123Scan
2
configuration program to configure the linear imager scanner. See
Chapter 5, User Preferences and each host chapter for information about programming the linear imager scanner
using bar code menus. See Chapter 11, 123Scan2 to configure the linear imager scanner using this configuration
program. 123Scan
2
includes a help file.
Radio Communications
The linear imager scanner can communicate with remote devices via Bluetooth, or by pairing with a cradle. For radio
communication parameters, detailed information about operational modes, Bluetooth and pairing, see
Chapter 4,
Radio Communications
.
NOTE The pairing bar code that connects the linear imager scanner to a cradle is unique to each cradle.
Do not scan data or parameters until pairing completes.
