there is no Bluetooth device in your existing system. Using this

solution, users will benefit by upgrading the existing tethered

scanning platform to the cordless one without any effort. The

MBC6890 works with Smart Cradle to perform just as it is directly

wire-connected to a host PC through one of various legacy

interfaces such as PS/2 keyboard wedge, RS232, USB keyboard

and USB Serial.

remote Bluetooth slave device such as a PCs, laptops, PDAs, etc.

Especially, the Auto Reconnecting capability can be performed in

this mode, even using the imager under PICONET connection.

SPP Slave Mode: The MBC6890 can be connected as “Slave”

when it sends data to a remote Bluetooth master device such as a

desktop PCs, laptops, and PDAs, which has to initialize the

communication.
