Socket Mobile Bluetooth iPAQ - Manual (Page 27)

CHAPTER 3: SETUP FOR WINDOWS XP, VISTA, AND 7 27
SCENARIO 3:
1. Find out the Bluetooth address of your computer.
• Your Bluetooth configuration utility should report the address.
• If you are using an add-on Bluetooth card or adapter, it may be
labeled on the device.
2. Use barcode software or a barcode generating website like
http://www.idautomation.com/java/linearservlet.html or
http://www.barcoding.com/upc to print the following barcode:
IMPORTANT! FORMAT THE BARCODE IN THE SYMBOLOGY
CODE 128!
ActivePairing Barcode Sample Result after Scanning
Initiator Bar Code —
contains the following data:
#FNI xxxxxxxxxxxx #
where xxxxxxxxxxxx is
the Bluetooth address of
the computer
The scanner will
change to initiator
mode and
automatically try to
connect to the
computer with the
Bluetooth address
embedded in the
barcode
3. Check the SocketScan task tray icon to make sure the computer is ready for
ActivePairing. There should be an animated “spinning” icon that alternates between a
ring icon and a handheld scanner icon.
4. Scan the Initiator Barcode. Press the large trigger button.
Note: The scanner will try to connect every 2 seconds for a maximum of 20 attempts.
5. After connecting, the scanner will beep once, and the Bluetooth Status LED of the
wrist unit will blink once every 3 seconds. The SocketScan icon will also change to a
static ring icon.
Note: After disconnecting from a computer (by turning of the scanner), you can easily
connect to a different computer by scanning the Initiator Barcode customized for that
computer. The computer’s Bluetooth radio must be on, and SocketScan must be open.
