.. .. .. .. .Scanning Operation The IP-BC-BT Cordless Bluetooth® Scanner operates from 3 AAA batteries that will supply over 76,000 continuous scans or 100 scans/day for 8 months (16,000 scans). In order to conserve power the scanner enters standby mode after a programmable a connect time of no activity and drops the Bluetooth® connection. The default connect time is 60 seconds. When scanning, the device wakes up and the Bluetooth® radio enters Discovery mode and waits for the host to reconnect.
.. .. .. .. .Setting Up Scanner The IP-BC-BT scanner requires Bluetooth® enabled PDA or Smartphone to communicate using Bluetooth® technology. Depending on your device type the steps for setting up or pairing your device to the IP-BC-BT scanner will vary slightly but the overall process should be similar to the steps below. 1. First step is to pair IP-BC-BT to your PDA or Smartphone. This is usually done using the device’s Bluetooth® Manager. 2.
.. .. .. .. .Developing Solutions The IP-BC-BT scanner currently supports Bluetooth® enabled devices using SPP Profile (Serial Port Profile). However, software that runs on the handset and interacts with the scanner is required to actually scan barcodes. Integrating the Scanner into your mobile solution requires the use of the scanner’s Bluetooth® SDK. The SDK incorporates API specific to developing application and integrated the IP-BC-BT barcode scanner into your application.
.. .. .. .. . Troubleshooting If you’re having problems refer to the table below for possible causes. Problem Possible Cause Scanner will not turn On. 1. Replace batteries if using Alkaline.
