Linking the PowerScan BT8300 to a Bluetooth-Enabled PC
The PowerScan BT8300 reader can optionally be linked to a Bluetooth-enabled
host with the serial port profile (SPP) or human interface device (HID) as a virtual
keyboard.
Linking to a PC in Serial Port Profile (Slave) Mode
To link a PowerScan BT8300 reader in Serial Port Profile (Slave) Mode to a
Bluetooth-enabled host, read the following codes in the given sequence.
4. Use the HOST computer's Bluetooth manager to "Add Bluetooth Device
Wizard" and select "PowerScan BT8300." When prompted for a passkey,
enter the default of "1234" or whatever you have already assigned to your
scanner. A window will notify you of Incoming Port and Outcoming Port

poses you can verify the communication using the Hyperterminal tool in
Windows.
6. Four ascending beeps will be emitted, signaling that the PowerScan
BT8300 has been successfully connected to the Bluetooth-enabled PC.
END of procedure. YOUR READER IS NOW READY TO READ CODES.
