Operation Mode

A) BT HID Mode (Default)*

No software installation is 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 support an active cursor.

[Barcode: BT HID Mode (Applies to Bluetooth Wireless Mode)]

Keyboard Language

In order to let the scanner upload codes correctly, you must configure the keyboard language before use. For example, if you use a French Keyboard, scan the "French Keyboard" barcode. After that, the scanner will upload barcodes according to the French keyboard layout. American Keyboard is set by default; if you use a US keyboard, you can skip this part.

Available Keyboard Layouts:

• American Keyboard * [Barcode: American Keyboard]
• Portugal Keyboard [Barcode: Portugal Keyboard]
• French Keyboard [Barcode: French Keyboard]
• Spanish Keyboard [Barcode: Spanish Keyboard]
• Germany Keyboard [Barcode: Germany Keyboard]
• Turkey Q Keyboard [Barcode: Turkey Q Keyboard]
