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

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

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. To enable this function,
please refer and follow the programming procedures.
When the MBC6890 is out of range, you will hear 4 beeps in
descending tone to indicate the radio connection lost. Then, the
MBC6890 gives red blinks at regular interval. You still can scan the bar
code even the radio connection has been discontinued. 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.
When the MBC6890 enters into the working range, the data
transmission is triggered right after the radio link is rebuilt manually.
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.

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.

MBC6890 User’s Guide
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
