Please follow up the steps below to install the batteries. Always use the rechargeable batteries provided by the manufacturer to avoid any non-compatible danger or void the warranty. 1. Loose the two screws enough to remove the battery cover. (It would not be necessary to remove the screws otherwise may result in losing them.) 2.
3. Put back the battery cover, and tighten both screws. Figure Charging Batteries For users with the charging cradle, you can connect the charging cradle with power adapter and the scanner is now in charging. For cradle host users, you can connect the cradle with the power adapter (shown as ) first, then place the scanner into the cradle in a 30° angle (shown as) and press down to make it seat tight into the cradle (shown as Figure ); a clear and short beep is heard when position correctly into the cradle.
Once the scanner is well situated in the cradle, press down any one of the small buttons at the side of LED lamp to start charging (Shown as Figure). Figure Press any one to start charging The LED of scanner light in RED as in charge, and light in BLUE when full charged. Refer to Chapter 9 for LED indication.
Cradle Host The cradle host features with Bluetooth® wireless technology and designs to support radio communication to the scanner. It the same has charging functionality. Refer to Section 2.1 for battery charging instructions. Connection on Cradle Host The scanner pairs with the cradle, when the scanner scans barcode data and passes to cradle via radio communication, the cradle sends data to host by its interface cable. Steps to connect the cradle to host as follows: 1.
2.3.
RS-232 Cable Always require adapter for both communication and charging Figure USB Cable Figure Figure - Communication Only - Communication and Charging 10
2.4. Detach the Interface Cable There is a hole on cradle cable box, and use a sharp pin to push down the hole while using another hand gently pull out the interface cable to release it slowly.
3. Pairing Scanner and Cradle Host This scanner supports three radio communication types, Cradle Host, SPP (Serial Protocol Profile) Slave SPP (Serial Protocol Profile) Master. 3.1. Cradle Host The scanner and communication cradle in the same delivery box are paired in factory, as soon as both are powered on, it should find and connect to each other immediately. However, in any circumstance that scanner and cradle are not paired with the cradle, follow steps below to redo pairing. 1.
Note: In cradle host mode, the scanner is always in master mode and cradle is in slave mode. Therefore, you have to scan on “Unlock Pairing Mode” barcode symbol to unlock paired scanner and cradle, than connect or link to other devices. 6. As the scanner links to the communication cradle, the cradle LED stays in BLUE. If in any case the scanner link timeout or enters power down mode, then the cradle LED flashes in BLUE.
3.2. SPP - Slave In the mode of SPP Slave, the scanner is remote by connecting with Serial Protocol Profile (SPP) host. Therefore, please first make sure your host device is well equipped with a Bluetooth® wireless technology connectivity and an application software before following the steps below to start pairing. Note: All host device and application software has different operating features, here we take a Widcomm BTW utility as an example. 1.
6. Select “ZBBT” the scanner, as the scanner default encryption is enabled, and you will be requested to enter the PIN code as “12345678” to start pairing. Figure 7. Double click on “ZBBT” selection and find as follow, Figure 8. Right click on the icon and select “Connect Bluetooth Serial Port”. Once pairing is completed, the scanner will make low-high beep tone and the LED light in GREEN.
Figure 9. Right click on icon and select “Contents” and remember your SPP Bluetooth® COM port. Figure The following steps will help you verify the communication status; the actual application depends on your application software used. 10. Open “Program File” > “Communication” > “Hyper Terminal".
11. In the window below, enter any name and click on “OK”. Figure 12. Select the appropriate COM port as you remembered. Figure 13.
14. Test scan any barcode, and all scanned data should show in your screw. Figure 15. If the scanner LED flashes in GREEN light indicating it is off-line, or out of range. Trigger the scan button or move in of communication range to be on-line again.
3.3. SPP - Master In this section, the scanner is configured as SPP-Master, and a pair barcode must be created to the remote Bluetooth® device to which the scanner can connect. The 12 digits Bluetooth® address of the remote device and its PIN code must be obtained before start pairing. Such address and PIN code can be found in its manual. Follow the steps below to start pairing. 1. Power on of the remote device and have its address ready in hand. 2.
8. Scan “Confirm the Setting” barcode label to confirm the PIN code setting. 9. Scan “Begin Pair with Slave” barcode label and a beep tone is heard to confirm setting than start pairing. At the same time, the scanner LED flashes in GREEN light, and if pairing successfully, then scanner will emit Low-High beep tone, GREEN light of scanner LED is on. If pairing failed, the scanner emits a series beep tone and you can start set-up procedures all over again. 10. Scan “End of Configuration” to exit set up.
4. Paging the Scanner Paging the scanner often happens when you have two or more pairs of scanners and communication cradles, and can not find which scanner pairs with its cradle. Press any key on cradle, and it sends out a signal to its paired scanner, this scanner beeps 3 beeps and lights BLUE LED 3 times. But if the scanner is out of its receiving range, then it won’t react to the cradle.
5. Scanning There are two ways to scan with this device. Handheld scanning Hands-free scanning 5.1 Handheld Scanning In the handheld scanning, hand held the scanner and simply aim at a barcode label and push the scanner trigger to scan (Shown as Figure ). Avoid aim vertically to the barcode label as a total reflection might effect the scanning performance. 5.
6. Data Transmit Method The data transfer method includes four types, Normal (default), Out-of-Range Mode, Standard Batch Mode and Cradle Contact Batch Mode. Users may modify this setting according to their preferences. 6.1 Normal (default) The scanner is not storing any data. When the scanner is within the connection range, the scanned data will be transferred to the host computer immediately (a good beep sound is made).
When the scanner is put into the cradle, a short-tone beep sound is made to confirm the scanner is fitted into the cradle correctly, then the scanner LED flashes 3 times in BLUE light and stay on, then the scanner starts transferring scanned data. Once the transfer is done, a long medium-tone beep sound will be made. In this mode, the scanner is NOT required to be paired with the cradle to transfer the scanned data.
7. ACK/NAK protocol or Frame packing When scanner is in SPP Master/Slave mode, and add in the data protocol or packing could confirm the data reliability.
Scanner to remote application Data Format of packet To send a data (barcode) to the remote application, the BT scanner has to encapsulate it: Size of FEH(Format EAH(Header) Data ID payload Byte) 1 byte 1 byte 1 byte 1 byte AEH(End Reserved of Byte) Byte 1 byte 1 byte Data Varies Title Header Character (EAH) Definition The character ID at the head of every data. It has to start with EAH. Size of Payload The encapsulated data length excluding header character.
