Using MBC6890 Cordless Imager
The MBC6890 cordless imager has to establish communication with a
host system for data transmission. There are several ways for
connecting MBC6890 to the host system:
By using with the DB100 smart cradle, through one of legacy output
interfaces such as PS/2 keyboard wedge, RS232 serial interface,
USB keyboard interface and USB serial interface and so on.
By means of Bluetooth wireless communication via SPP master
service or SPP slave service.
To meet different requirements, the MBC6890 provides following two
operation modes:
Normal Mode
Under normal mode (default setting), when the radio link between the
MBC6890 and the host system is built, the MBC6890 transmits each
scanned data right after scanning the bar code. However, MBC6890
can not scan any bar code data while losing its connection with the
remote host system due to out of range. You might enable the option
of “Out-of-range Scanning” to have MBC6890 stored the scanned
data even the imager is out of range.
Batch Mode
Under batch mode, the MBC6890 can store the scanned data
without building the radio link with a remote host system.
For above-mentioned Out-of-range Scanning and Batch Mode, the
MBC6890 can store the scanned data into the buffer on a FIFO basis
until transmission is initialized or buffer memory is full. Nominally, the
imager will store up to 2,000 EAN-13 labels.

Using MBC6890 with DB100 Smart Cradle
The MBC6890 works with DB100 smart cradle to perform just as it is
directly wire-connected to a host PC through one of legacy interfaces
such as PS/2 keyboard wedge, RS232 serial, USB keyboard and USB
serial. The “Pair Mode” scanning system is the most convenient “Cable
Replacement” solution, if there is no Bluetooth device in your existing
system. Using this solution, users could benefit by instant upgrading
the existing tethered scanning platform to the cordless one without any
effort.
Moreover, a special-designed Auto Reconnecting feature is provided
by MBC6890 under pair mode. If the radio link between the imager and
its paired smart cradle is lost, the automatic radio re-build process will
be activated immediately. It’s no need for user to re-build the radio
connection manually.
If several MBC6890 sets have been installed in the same area, users
may not be able to easily identify each imager and its paired smart
cradle. The paging function will help users to locate or identify the
paired imager and smart cradle with ease.

Using MBC6890 via Bluetooth SPP Service
Bluetooth wireless technology works on global RF standards, which
operates on the 2.4 GHz ISM band. This enables wireless connectivity
between the remote Bluetooth devices and the host computer built-in
Bluetooth radio, such as PCs, laptops and PDAs, etc.
Usually, all actions between a program installed on your computer and
a remote Bluetooth device are carried out by the Bluetooth services. A
Bluetooth device can offer one or more services. These popular
services include Serial Port (SPP), Dail-Up Networking (DUN), Human
Interface Device (HID), Generic Object Exchange (GOEP), Personal
Area Networking (PAN), Lan Access (LAP), Generic Access (GAP),
and so on.
The MBC6890 supports the Serial Port Service (SPP) which is one of
the most popular Bluetooth services providing the serial radio link
between Bluetooth master and slave devices. Under Bluetooth SPP,
you can establish connection between MBC6890 and a remote
Bluetooth host system by using SPP master service or SPP slave
service. That is, MBC6890 can act as either master or slave. The
master initiates the radio connection with the slave, whereas the slave
only waits for the master initiating a radio connection with him.
Usually, the resident Bluetooth drivers will configure the SPP
connection as one of the virtual COM ports in your host system that
can be controlled and utilized by user’s application programs. If your
host system supports the functionality of PICONET which is the
Bluetooth device network, the communication can be established with
up to 7 imagers simultaneously. Usually, once a PICONET is formed, a
desktop or laptop PC equipped with Bluetooth radio will act as the
master while the others act as slaves for the duration of the PICONET
connection.
The required parts to form such a scanning systems include :
MBC6890 cordless linear imager x 1
DA100 charging cradle x 1
Power supply Unit x 1
A ready-to-use remote Bluetooth host system
