Pairing Bar Code Format

When the scanner is configured as an SPP Master, you must create a pairing bar code for the remote Bluetooth
device to which the scanner can connect. You must know the Bluetooth address of the remote device. Pairing bar
codes are Code 128 bar codes and are formatted as follows:

Bxxxxxxxxxxxx

where:

B (or LNKB) is the prefix

xxxxxxxxxxxx represents the 12-character Bluetooth address.

Pairing Bar Code Example

If the remote device to which the scanner can connect has a Bluetooth address of 11:22:33:44:55:66, then the
pairing bar code is:

Connection Maintenance Interval

When a scanner disconnects from a cradle due to a Link Supervision Timeout, the scanner immediately attempts
to reconnect to the cradle for 30 seconds. If the auto-reconnect process fails, it can be restarted by pulling the
scanner trigger.

To guarantee that a disconnected scanner can reconnect when it comes back in range, the cradle reserves the
connection for that scanner for a period of time defined by the Connection Maintenance Interval. If the cradle is
supporting the maximum three scanners and one scanner disconnects, a fourth scanner cannot pair to the cradle
during this interval. To connect another scanner, either wait until the connection maintenance interval expires then
scan the PAIR bar code on the cradle with the new scanner; or scan Lock Override (

page 4-22

) with the new

scanner then scan the PAIR bar code on the cradle.

Connection Maintenance Interval options are:

15 minutes

30 minutes

One hour

Two hours

Four hours

Eight hours

Paring Bar Code Content:

‘B’ or ‘LNKB’ + Bluetooth Address

B112233445566

NOTE

The Connection Maintenance Interval only applies in locked pairing mode (see

page 4-22

).

NOTE

When the cradle supports the maximum three scanners, it stores the remote pairing address of each
scanner in memory regardless of the scanner condition (e.g., discharged battery). When you want to
change the scanners paired to the cradle, unpair each scanner currently connected to the cradle by
scanning the

Unpairing

bar code prior and reconnect each appropriate scanner by scanning the PAIR bar

code on the cradle.
