Bluetooth Technology Profile Support
With Bluetooth Technology Profile Support, the cradle is not required for wireless communication. The scanner
communicates directly to the host using Bluetooth technology. The scanner supports the standard Bluetooth Serial
Port Profile (SPP) and HID Profiles which enable the scanner to communicate with other Bluetooth devices that
support these profiles.
• SPP - the scanner connects to the PC/host via Bluetooth and performs like there’s a serial connection.
• HID - the scanner connects to the PC/host via Bluetooth and performs like a keyboard.
Master/Slave Set Up
The scanner can be set up as a Master or Slave.
When the scanner is set up as a Slave, it is discoverable and connectable to other devices. When the scanner is
set up as a Master, the Bluetooth address of the remote device to which a connection is requested is required. A
pairing bar code with the remote device address must be created and scanned to attempt a connection to the
remote device. See the
Pairing Bar Code Format on page 4-24 for information about creating a pairing bar code.
Master
When the scanner is set up as a Master (SPP), it initiates the radio connection to a slave device. Initiating the
connection is done by scanning a pairing bar code for the remote device (see
Pairing Bar Code Format on page
4-24 ).
Slave
When the scanner is set up as a Slave device (SPP or HID), the scanner accepts an incoming connection request
from a remote device.
NOTE The number of scanners is dependent on the host’s capability.
