Barcodes

Bar Code Symbologies Supported
The IP-BC-BT scanner support a number of different bar code symbols and it can return a code indicating the type of symbol that was scanned (either
NCR Identifier). Different symbols are often used for different purposes. For
example, most retail products use a UPC code. The case containing that same product probably uses an ITF (Interleaved 2 of 5) bar code. Knowing which type of symbol was scanned can be used to determine if the data is from a case or an individual product. The IP-BC-BT supports the following barcode symbol and options:

EAN/UPC

These are the mostly commonly used bar code symbol. UPC and EAN are used to identify nearly all retail products. The IP-BC-BT supports EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, UPC-E, and add-on symbols (both 2 and 5-digit add-ons). The IP-BC-BT can also combine the add-on symbols with the base barcodes.

CODE 128

The name CODE 128 derives from its ability to encode 128 different data characters at a high density. The IP-BC-BT supports Function Code 1 and 2 options, but does not support the concatenation feature (pad character).

Code-39

Code-39, or Code 3 of 9, is used extensively in military and medical applications. The IP-BC-BT supports Code-39 standard and checksum options (including stripping the checksum character). Full ASCII conversion and concatenation features are not supported.

ITF (Interleaved 2 of 5)

ITF is used extensively in warehousing applications and many retail products use ITF bar codes on product cases (individual items use UPC but ITF is often used on the case). The IP-BC-BT supports standard and checksum options (including stripping the checksum character). Minimum and Maximum decode lengths are also supported. Note that Maximum decode length does not provide any additional barcode decoding integrity. Full ASCII conversion and concatenation features are not supported.

Scanning Barcodes

The IP-BC-BT Cordless Bluetooth Scanner operates from 3 AAA batteries that will supply over 76,000 continuous scans or 100 scans/day for 8 months (16,000 scans). In order to conserve power the scanner enters standby mode after a programmable a connect time of no activity and drops the Bluetooth connection. The default connect time is 60 seconds. When scanning, the device wakes up and the Bluetooth radio enters Discovery mode and waits for the host to reconnect. When using the host detects the scanner in discovery mode it quickly re-connects and transmits the data.
Proper scanning of barcodes is shown in the figure below. Note that the scan beam crosses the width of the barcode.
Scan beam crosses the width
of the barcode and extends
beyond the barcode left and
right edges.

Scanning Operation

The IP-BC-BT Cordless Bluetooth Scanner operates in two modes: real-time and store-and-forward.
Real-time is when the scanner is connected to a Bluetooth host device. The scanner uploads the bar codes as you scan them.
Batch mode is when the scanner is disconnected of out of range. It stores the bar codes in memory. When the scanner is moved back into range, the scanner automatically connects to the host device and uploads the stored bar codes.
Three beeps indicate the scanner’s memory is full. If the occurs, move the scanner back into range of the Bluetooth host device and wake up the scanner by pushing the button. When connected, the scanner automatically uploads the saved bar codes and clears its memory.
