Upload Mode Setting
Under Bluetooth mode, there are two upload modes:
A. Instant upload mode:
Scanning barcode and real-time upload the barcode.
**To set the scanner to instant upload mode, please scan the following barcode:
[Instant upload mode Barcode]
B. Storage mode:
Under storage mode, all scanned data will be stored directly into the buffer memory of the scanner. Internal storage supports up to 5000 barcodes. You could upload the data to computer when you need it.
An operation in storage mode is strongly recommended under the following scenarios:
- 1) During the scanning process, the device often leaves the Bluetooth signal range.
- 2) Due to a high quantity of blocking objects, the Bluetooth signal's stability can't be ensured.
**To set the scanner to storage mode, please scan the following barcode:
[Storage mode Barcode]
** Scan the following barcode to upload the stored data:
[Upload data Barcode]
**Scan the following barcode to show total number of stored barcode:
[Show total storage Barcode]
**Scan the following barcode to clear all the stored barcode:
[Clear data Barcode]
Scanning Mode setting
- Key trigger mode: Red light is on when pressing the button.
- Continuous scanning mode: Red light always on when the scanner is electrified. The scanner reads barcode without pressing any buttons.

Profile Setting
1. HID profile (frequently-used)
In the HID protocol, there are 2 entities: the "host" and the "device". The host communicates with the device and receives input data from the device on actions performed by the human. The most common example of a "host" is a PC, but some cell phones can also be hosts. The "device" is the entity that directly interacts with a human, such as a keyboard or mouse.
If you want to set the scanner as a device to enter the barcode, please read code “HID-mode: USB Keyboard”:
[HID-mode: USB keyboard Barcode]
Scan one of the code to select transmission speed:
- [HID-Low Barcode]
- [HID-fast Barcode]
2. Spp Profile (Rarely used)
SPP defines how to set up virtual serial ports and connect two Bluetooth enabled devices.
Usage Scenarios: A scenario would be using two devices, such as PCs or laptops, as virtual serial ports and then connecting the two devices via Bluetooth technology.
[SPP-mode: Virtual-COM Barcode]
Terminator setting
