Quick Reference Guide
Connecting Argox Cordless Scanner with Your
Smart Devices
Argox offers additional connection solution with the AS-8020CL and
AS-8520 cordless imagers. The new Bluetooth HID feature for these
two models provides the ability to connect other Bluetooth devices, for
example smart phones, tablet PCs, iPod,
iPhone, iPad,… which require
HID protocol to pair with. This feature resolves the problem that current
AS-8020CL and AS-8520 can only connect with other devices via SPP
protocol but not the ones only allowed the connections with Bluetooth
HID protocol.
