Bluetooth Radio, Linking, and Batch Operation
The CS6080 digital scanner has a Bluetooth Class 1 qualified and Class 2 capable radio which achieves a
range of at least 100 m / 330 ft. (open air, line of sight). The actual range you achieve is influenced by the
presence of other radios, shelving and wall materials as well as which cradle is tested. The environments
vary widely and often influence radio ranges.
When the digital scanner goes out of communications range to the base, it can be configured for Batch
Mode (see <bl_blue><em_Emphasis>Batch Mode on page 9-76). The digital scanner has sufficient
onboard memory to store 500 barcodes of typical size (UPC/EAN).
Setting Up an iOS or Android Product To Work With The Digital Scanner
Perform the following steps on each device to establish a link.
HID Keyboard Emulation
1. On the CS6080, scan <bl_blue><em_Emphasis>Human Interface Device (HID) Keyboard Emulation
on page 9-48.
2. On an iOS/iPad/iPhone, select Settings > General > Bluetooth and turn Bluetooth On. Choose the
CS6080 digital scanner from the list of discovered devices. A link should be established allowing
scanning into any application with keyboard entry.
3. On an Android/ET1/Droid, select Settings > Wireless & networks > Bluetooth (to turn Bluetooth on, if
not already on). Select Bluetooth Settings and choose the CS6080 digital scanner from the list of
discovered devices. (The CS6080 digital scanner normally displays as CS6080 - xxxxxx, where xxxxxx
is the serial number.)
important Android devices, specifically the ET1, may require you to scan a PIN to connect. If so, a PIN
displays on the device. To enter the required PIN, scan the barcode, Variable PIN Code (1) on
page 5-40 then re-attempt connection. When a beep sounds, indicating the scanner is waiting for
PIN entry, scan the PIN using the <bl_blue><em_Emphasis>Numeric Barcodes on page G-1.
Incorrect scanned entries can be deleted by scanning
<bl_blue><em_Emphasis>Cancel on
page H-1
.
For more information, read the section Variable PIN Code on page 5-40.
