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 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 :

Activate Batch Mode
You can activate batch mode to have MBC6890 stored scanned data without building the connection with a remote host system.
To enable this function, please scan “Enter Batch Mode” quick set command. When a bar code is saved successfully, a good read beep sounds and the LED flashes green. When the memory buffer is full, the MBC6890 will give a long beep and the LED flashes red.
Once you scan “Enter Batch Mode” quick set command, the pre-connected radio link will be discontinued and the MBC6890 will enter batch mode.
You can trigger the data transmission by scanning “Exit Batch Mode” quick set command. After that, please establish the radio link between MBC6890 and remote host system. You will hear 4 beeps in ascending tone to indicate the radio link built. Following two short beeps, the MBC6890 gives continuous short clicks and red blinks during the transmission process. After data transmission is completed, the imager indicates four short beeps.

Useful Tips for Field Operation
Please refer following four useful tips for your field operation :
4 descending-tone beeps
When you heard the special 4 descending-tone beeps, it means the imager has lost the radio link already. This condition mostly happens when you go out of the radio covering range. And the imager LED will give red blinks at regular interval to indicate Radio Disconnected state.
4 ascending-tone beeps
When you heard the special 4 ascending-tone beeps, it means the radio link between imager and remote Bluetooth device has been re-built already. This condition mostly happens when you re-enter the radio covering range. And the imager LED will give green blinks at regular interval to indicate Radio Connected state.
Paging command
Occasionally you may not be able to locate your MBC6890, especially in a job session which requires constant moving around. The “Page” function (only available for “Pair Mode” Connection) will help you to locate the imager.
Battery charging
The batteries inside the imager will be charged when imager is placed on the cradle. If the imager indicates “Battery Power Low” or “Battery Power Extremely Low”, please charge the batteries as soon as possible.
DO NOT CHARGE NON-RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES, AS IT MAY CAUSE EXPLOSION.

Configure MBC6890 Cordless Imager
The FuzzyScan bar code commands are specially designed for field programming convenience. All MBC6890 series cordless linear imagers can take this way to make detailed configuration.
Before configuring your imager, please understand the command structure and programming procedures in advance. The bar code commands include System Command, Family Code and Option Code for programming purpose.
System Command
The System command is the highest level bar code command which directs the imager to perform immediate operations, such as entering/exiting programming mode, listing system information, recovering to factory preset configurations, quick setting popular configuration, and so on. Please note that all system commands will take a few seconds to complete the desired operation. You must wait for the completion sound before scanning another bar code.
Family Code
The Family Code is scanned to select the user desired programming family. FuzzyScan MBC6890 codeless imager provide more than 100 programming family to meet any specific requirements.
Option Code
The Option Code is a set of bar code commands represented by “0-9”, “A-F” and finishing selection (FIN). For most setting, you have to select at least one option code following the family code selection to set your desired configuration for the selected programming family.
This Chapter provides access to all the configuration setting for MBC6890 series, including :

MBC6890 User’s Guide
Programming Procedures
As you scan the bar code command to select the desired parameters, all the final selected configurations will be stored in the FuzzyScan’s internal non-volatile memory. If you power off the unit, the imager retains all programming options. You need not re-program the FuzzyScan if you want to keep the existing configurations for the next power on.
The programming procedures of FuzzyScan are designed as simple as possible for ease of setting. Most programming families take the simplest Single Scan Selection (SS) programming procedure. But several programming families have more complex and flexible programmable options, and you must take Multiple Scans Selection (MS), Cycling Scan Selection (CS) or Dual Level Selection (DS) to complete their programming procedures.

Bluetooth Acknowledgement
While taking this setting, the receiving confirmation will be performed by the Bluetooth handshaking mechanism. The MBC6890 will give a “Good Read” beep after receiving the confirmation issued by the internal Bluetooth module to identify the scanned data transmitted successfully.
Receiving Acknowledgement (Pair Mode only)
While taking this setting in pair mode, the receiving confirmation will be performed by the paired smart cradle. The MBC6890 will take the special handshaking protocol to communicate with smart cradle. Once reading a bar code, the imager will give a “Good Read” beep after receiving the confirmation issued by the internal Bluetooth module first. If the smart cradle successfully received the scanned data, MBC6890 will give an additional Acknowledgement (ACK) beep after receiving the confirmation issued by the smart cradle. In case of MBC6890 didn’t receive the confirmation after time out duration or received a NAK signal from the smart cradle, MBC6890 will give the NAK beeps to remind user. Furthermore, the acknowledgement beeping tone can be set by the user. Please refer to the “Buzzer Tone Adjustment” for details.

Condensed DataWizard
DataWizard is a powerful, artificial intelligence based data editing expert system provided specially for the FuzzyScan family bar code readers. Through DataWizard, you can process the scanned data prior to the transmissions in many ways, such as: Insert, Delete, Match, Verify, Substitute, Reorganize, and Repeat Transmission. It will help you to transmit the scanned data to any specific format without software modifications. Please refer to below for details.
Data Formatting and Editing
Preamble, Postamble, Data Length Transmission
There are maximum 15 characters can be added as Preamble or Postamble. To enable the Data Length Transmission, a 2-digit data length will be added after Preamble.
Symbology ID Transmission
To enable the Symbology ID Transmission, the “CINO Symbology ID” or “AIM Symbology ID” will be added into the transmitted data. It is very helpful for applications to identify the specific bar code by symbology ID.
Data Formatter
The Data Formatter is used to edit the scanned raw data prior to the transmission to the host computers. It allows you to select desired bar code symbologies for formatter control, and provides Multiple­position Insertion and Multiple-character Insertion (maximum three characters) in the identified position.
Data Verifier
The Data Verifier is used to provide advanced verification for error­free scanning and working as an Embedded Data Transmitting Filter. All scanned raw data must conform to the Identified Bar Code Symbologies, Identified Data Length, and 1 to 3 Identified Characters in the checking position. Otherwise, the FuzzyScan will not transmit the data to the host computers or terminals, but will issue 3 long beeps instead for error verification and skip the scanned data.
Data Changer
The Data Changer is used to edit the scanned raw data prior to the transmission to the host computers or terminals. It allows you to select desired bar code symbologies for changer control, and provides Multiple-position Substitute in the identified position.
Data Organizer
The Data Organizer is used to edit the scanned raw data prior to the transmission to the host computers or terminals. It allows you to select desired bar code symbologies for organizer control, and provides maximum two identified positions to send the data forward or backward. It also allows you to control the transmitted data including or excluding the data of identification position.

Application Example
If your bar code label is a 16-digit interleaved 2 of 5 which includes the information of 6-digit date code, 6-digit serial number and 4-digit unit price, you want MBC6890 to do the following for you without software modification :
Apply only Interleaved 2 of 5 to the condensed DataWizard.
Check bar code is actually with 16-digit length.
Allow bar code output whose date code is leading with “9”.
Three outputs with “TAB” suffix.
The date code output should skip “9” and replaced it by “A”.
The serial number output should be led with “SN”.
The unit price output should be skipped the first 2 digits.
Test Bar Code : 981025 123456 9876
Actual Output : A81025
