Operation Mode

A) BT HID Mode (Default)*

No software installation needed, connects to most devices with Bluetooth or USB interface. In this mode, the scanner interacts with the device like a keyboard. Therefore, the scanner will work with Safari, Notes, and any other applications that supports an active cursor.

Barcode: [BT HID Mode]

Note: This command barcode is only apply for Bluetooth Wireless Mode.

Keyboard Language

In order to let scanner upload the codes in a correct way, you have to configure the keyboard language before you use it.

For example: If you use French Keyboard, just scan barcode of "French Keyboard", after that scanner will upload barcodes according to French keyboard layout. American Keyboard is set by default, if you use a US keyboard you can just skip this part.

Available Keyboard Layouts:

• American Keyboard *
• Portugal Keyboard
• French Keyboard
• Spanish Keyboard
• Germany Keyboard
• Turkey Q Keyboard
• Italy Keyboard
• Turkey F Keyboard

B) Application Mode (SPP)

For Android or Windows only. Software installation is required. If you have an application that supports mobile scanners, this is the mode recommended.

Barcode: [BT SPP Mode]

Note: This command is only apply for Bluetooth Wireless Mode.

Scan Mode

Trigger Mode (Default)

Scanning this barcode will enable the scanner to enter manual trigger mode.

Barcode: [Trigger Mode] (013300)

Continuous Mode

This mode enables the engine to scan/capture, decode and transmit over and over again.

Barcode: [Auto Sense On] (02311)

Barcode: [Auto Sense Off] (02310)

Data Uploading Mode

If you are heading for a working area which lies outside the signal range, you may activate the offline mode of the scanner, following the steps described below. Under this enhanced offline mode, all scanned data will be stored directly into the buffer memory of the device. Furthermore, the data entries will be permanently saved in the buffer memory prior to the manual upload into the working station, so that you may upload them time and again to your liking.

1. By scanning the following barcode, the offline mode will be activated: [Offline Mode]
2. By scanning the following barcode, all data in the buffer memory will be deleted: [Clear All Memory]
3. By scanning the following barcode, all data entries in the buffer memory can be manually uploaded after reconnecting to the working station (only in offline mode): [Uploading the Data]
4. By scanning the following barcode, the gross quantity of the uploaded data entries will be summarised (only in offline mode): [Summarising of uploaded data entry quantity]
5. By scanning the following barcode, the device leaves the offline mode, instant uploading mode will be activated. (By default): [Instant uploading mode]

Notes: Command barcodes from Working mode section are only applied for Bluetooth wireless mode.
