Introduction 7

Ring Imager / Ring Scanner

The Bluetooth ring scanner can scan and decode 1D barcodes. The Bluetooth ring imager can scan and decode 1D and 2D barcodes. The type of barcodes scanned successfully depends on the scan type of the tethered ring device. After pairing with an LXE mobile device, it can then send the collected barcode data to the specific Bluetooth enabled LXE mobile device for processing.

The ring devices do not have the ability to emit a good read or bad read sound. The Bluetooth Ring Scanner module emits good read or bad read sounds based on the ring scan results. See section titled Status LED and Beep Indicators for an explanation of the LED and beep patterns emitted by these devices.

Note: These ring decoding devices do not have the ability to emit a good read or bad read

sound.

Bluetooth MAC ID Barcode Label

LnkB00440fd01020 - Sample

Figure 1-10 Sample MX8 Bluetooth Address (MAC ID) Barcode Label

Locate the barcode label, similar to the one shown above, attached to the LXE Bluetooth capable mobile device. It may be on any side of the device.

The label is the Bluetooth address identifier for the LXE Bluetooth capable mobile device. It must be scanned before LXEZ Pairing connection can occur.

The barcode label on the Bluetooth Ring Scanner module is a barcode and numeric representation of the MAC ID of the module.

Troubleshooting

The MAC ID barcodes on some LXE Bluetooth capable mobile devices are quite small. If you are unsuccessful using the ring imager when scanning a MAC ID barcode, change the ring imager’s default Smart Focus Mode to Near Focus by scanning the Enable Near Focus barcode in Chapter 4. Ensure focus mode is changed back to the default value of Smart Focus after the MAC ID barcode read is successful.

Important: The Bluetooth module MAC ID label should remain protected from damage (rips, tears, spills, soiling, erasure, etc.) at all times.

Introduction 9

Bluetooth Module Assembly

Note: Do not touch, push against or brace your finger on the

scan aperture at any time.

The battery and ring scanner cables should not be exchanged or replaced in a dirty, harsh or hazardous environment. When the ring tethers are disconnected, any dust or moisture that adheres to the tether connector can potentially cause damage upon cable re-connection with the Bluetooth Module.

Connect the Ring decoder to the Bluetooth Module before inserting a battery into the module. The Bluetooth Module performs initialization with the Ring Scanner on bootup.

When new, there is a clear, tabbed protective film covering the ring decoder scan window. Remove and discard the clear, tabbed protective film before scanning a barcode.

Connecting the Ring Device Cable

Note: Do not use a metal object, or extreme force, to remove the cable connector from the

module.

Assumption: LXE logo on the module protective sleeve is up (visible).

Slip the ring cable connector through the ring cable guide on the side of the Bluetooth module sleeve. The connector can be inserted from the left or the right. The ring cable guides are designed to minimize excessive pulling or tugging on the scanner cable after the ring scanner is connected to the Bluetooth module.

Press the connector firmly into the I/O port until the Bluetooth module LED illuminates and the module beeps, signifying a ring cable I/O secure connection.

To remove the ring scanner cable, pinch and pull the cable connector (not the cable!) straight up and away from the Bluetooth module.

Inserting the Battery

The battery is spring loaded and will slide out when the battery cover latch is opened. The battery slides out of the battery bay far enough to be grasped, removed and then replaced with a fully powered battery.

Open

Orientation: Bluetooth LED on the module is up.

Slide the battery bay latch to the right. The battery bay cover springs open.

Note: As soon as the battery contacts lose connection with the battery

terminals in the battery bay, the Bluetooth module turns Off.

The ring devices do not have the ability to emit a good decode read sound (after a barcode scan) or bad decode read sound. The Bluetooth Ring Scanner module emits the good read or bad read sounds. The module and the ring devices have an LED.

Note: Rejected barcodes generate a bad scan beep and/or an LED light sequence. In some

cases, the receipt of data from the ring scanner triggers a good scan beep from the Bluetooth module, and then the rejection of scanned barcode data by the paired mobile device (e.g. MX8) processing causes a bad scan beep from the paired mobile device (MX8) on the same data.

Please see the mobile device specific guide for an explanation of the LED and beep

indicators for the paired device. For example, if you have paired the Bluetooth Ring Scanner with the MX8 handheld computer so it can manipulate the scanned barcode data received from the Bluetooth Ring Scanner, refer to the MX8 User’s Guide for MX8 LED and beep explanations.

20 Introduction

How To . . .

Note: The function to use the imager for OCR decoding is not supported in this release.

The linear barcodes in this guide were created using Code 128 symbology. Your device has been set up by LXE to automatically read / decode Code 128 barcodes.

Using the barcodes contained in this guide, you can change scanning system parameters or reset all parameters to their factory default values.

All scanner parameters are programmed into and stored by the scanner engine.

Important

If this guide is not in print form, locate the page in this electronic guide that contains the barcode you wish to use. Print the page on white paper using a 600dpi laser printer (or equivalent).

LXE recommends printing the page containing the Reset and Cancel barcodes as well as the page containing the A – F and 0 – 9 number barcodes.

1. Select the parameter you want to scan. If this guide is in print form,

flat on a table or propped up at an angle.

lay this reference guide

2. Holding the beam aperture approximately 2 – 12 inches away from the barcode, aim the scan

aperture toward the selected barcode. See the scanner engine Decode Zones in Chapter 5.

3. Press the Scan button. Align the scan beam so that the barcode is centered within the beam.

The beam must cross the entire barcode. Move the scan aperture towards or away from the barcode so that the barcode takes up approximately two-thirds the width of the beam.

Correct Scan Incorrect Scan Incorrect Scan

Figure 1-16 Scanning Angle for Linear Barcodes

4. Refer to the recommended decode zone for the installed scan engine if you are having

difficulty with this process.

Note: Do not position the scan aperture exactly perpendicular to the barcode being scanned. In

this position, light can bounce back into the scan aperture, and possibly prevent a successful decode.

When sending individual pages to a laser printer for scanning later, ensure the dots per inch setting is at least

600dpi.

Introduction 21

Figure 1-17 Scanning a 2D Barcode

To scan with the imager, point the beam aperture at a barcode and press the Scan button. You will see a bracketed crosshair strike the barcode. Align the brackets so that the center (or one of the four corners of the center box) of the barcode is covered by the crosshair.

The scan On indicator illuminates (usually red) when the laser beam is on. Following a barcode scan and “good read” the indicator usually turns green and the Bluetooth module beeps, indicating a successful scan.

The laser and scan On indicator automatically turn off after a successful or unsuccessful read. The scanner is ready to scan again.

Note: Whether there are beeps in conjunction with scan and decode functions is dependent on

the application currently running in the LXE Bluetooth capable mobile device. Beeps are also emitted by the Bluetooth module, not the ring device.

Note: Decrease decode time by disabling unused barcode types. The ring scan engine can store

several different barcode symbologies at the same time. This means the system is able to scan a Code 39 barcode, then an Interleaved 2 of 5 barcode, then a different barcode without requiring a parameter reset.

Troubleshooting

Printing Barcodes In This Guide

Problem: Barcodes on the printed page are too compact to be scanned,

especially with a long range scanner.

Solution: There is a difference between laser printer types and how they handle some Adobe

Acrobat print functions – specifically, the “shink to fit” option on the Print Options screen.

Before clicking Print, make sure the “Shrink oversized pages to paper size”

checkbox is unchecked. If the barcode is still too small to be read by the scanner engine, run the printed page through the laser printer again using the laser printer’s Zoom feature until the barcode is large enough to scan satisfactorily.

Miscellaneous Programmable Barcodes

Note: Ring decoding devices do not have the ability to emit a good read or bad read sound.

Beep After Good Decode

Audible scan progress indicators are generated by the scanner driver on LXE mobile devices (i.e. HX2), not the tethered ring decoder engine. Use the Windows CE Control Panel options to set up the mobile device audible indicators.

Beeper Frequency Adjustment

Audible scan progress indicators are generated by the scanner driver on LXE mobile devices, not the ring decoder engine. Use the Windows CE Control Panel options to set up the mobile device audible indicators.

Beep on <BEL>

This parameter is disabled/inactive on LXE mobile devices.

Beeper Tone / Beeper Volume

Event Reporting

LXE mobile devices with linked scanners aren’t designed to process events triggered by the linked scan engine. Events are processed by the operating system resident on the mobile device. Use Windows CE Control Panel options to set up the mobile device event reporting parameters.

Introduction 23

Factors That May Impact Scanner Performance

The range of a scanner is dependent upon many outside influences including size of the barcode, quality of the barcode printing, material the barcode is printed on, condition of the scan lens (scratches) and angle of the beam aperture relative to the barcode label. Any of these factors may result in having to re-scan the label from a different distance or angle.

Barcode Quality

Check the barcode for marks or physical damage e.g. ripped label, missing section, correct size for the scanner being used, etc.

In general, the bigger the barcode the further the distance from which it can be read. If the barcode is smaller than the specified size for the scanner being used, the distance, in almost all cases, will shrink.

Large barcodes can be scanned at the maximum distance. Hold the scanner closer to small barcodes (or with bars that are very close together).

Note: Do not position the scanner exactly perpendicular to the barcode being scanned. In this

position, light can bounce back into the scan aperture, and possibly prevent a successful decode.

Barcode Symbology

Barcodes such as UPC codes and Code 128 are more complex than Code 39 and Interleaved 2 of

5. When attempting to get the maximum read distance possible, particularly with reflective labels,

use Code 39. The use of Code 128 or other more complex symbologies will almost always result in a reduction in maximum read distance. LXE will not support scanner maximum distances (from Decode Zones) when symbologies other than Code 39 are used.

Lens Damage

A scratched scan beam aperture can impact read rates and distances. Beam apertures should be inspected frequently, particularly if scanning quality or distances get worse over time.

Ambient Lighting

High ambient conditions, particularly outdoor environments, will produce enough light to somewhat “blind” the scanner. This will result in shorter read distances.

Temperature

While small deviations from room temperature will have no impact on scanner performance, severe conditions like those found in freezers will have a negative impact on both the distance scanners can read and the speed the read is acquired.

Some scanner engines contain protection circuitry that shuts the scanner down in temperatures that exceed the recommended operating temperature.

24 Introduction

Pairing Bluetooth Devices

When the Bluetooth Ring Scanner module pairs with another Bluetooth device, it means the Bluetooth Ring Scanner module can send serial data to the other Bluetooth device.

Note: Bluetooth Ring Scanner module paired data is stored in non-volatile memory in the

module and data is saved over power cycles. Paired devices automatically reconnect when power is applied.

LXE Bluetooth Devices

Method 1

Using the Bluetooth Ring Scanner assembly, scan the pairing barcode (Bluetooth MAC address of the device) on the LXE Bluetooth device (e.g. handheld or vehicle mount unit).

The Bluetooth Ring Scanner module initiates the pairing process with the LXE Bluetooth device and the devices are paired. The Bluetooth Ring Scanner module’s Bluetooth LED flashes every 4 seconds. This is the LXE recommended method for pairing.

Method 2

Using the ring scanner attached to the Bluetooth Ring Scanner module, and the barcodes in Chapter 2 Bluetooth Module Programming, scan the Pairing Status | Enable Slave Mode barcode.

Using the LXE Bluetooth device (e.g. handheld or vehicle mount unit) access the LXEZ Pairing control panel by tapping the Bluetooth icon on the Desktop (or the Taskbar or the Control Panel).

Open the Bluetooth Devices panel. Tap the Discover button to discover nearby Bluetooth scanners and printers. Identify the scanner you wish to pair with by matching the Friendly name (LXE Scanner – [MAC ID]) with the MAC address label on the scanner. Doubletap the Friendly Name and select Pair as Scanner from the drop-down menu. Close the LXEZ Pairing application.

Notes:

• Assumption is that the Bluetooth scanner parameters are at the factory defaults for the scanner.

• When users can use any mobile device with any scanner -- When returning from a break or at

the beginning of a shift all users should pair a scanner with their mobile device using either of the methods shown above.

• When the scanner and mobile device pair successfully, the LXE Scanner Wedge automatically

sets Wedge Port 1 to be used by Bluetooth. If the mobile device is equipped with other integrated or tethered scanners, they must be configured to use a Scanner Wedge Port other than Port 1 if they are to be used when a Bluetooth scanner is paired.

• When the Bluetooth Ring Scanner is paired to a device using a Bluetooth driver other than

LXEZ Pairing, the Bluetooth scanner serial data should be managed in accordance with your other Bluetooth devices.

Generic Bluetooth Devices

1. Using the ring scanner attached to the Bluetooth Ring Scanner module, and the barcodes

in Chapter 2 Bluetooth Module Programming, scan the following barcodes:

• Restore Factory Defaults

• Pairing Status | Enable Slave Mode

2. Using the ring decoder and the barcodes in the ring decoder-engine-specific chapter (e.g.

Chapter 3 SE955 Laser Barcodes) configure the ring decoder to meet the requirements of the targeted generic Bluetooth device.

Bluetooth Ring Scanner Guide E-SW-BLUESCANPG-A

Page 37

Introduction 25

3. Using the generic Bluetooth device, and the device’s Bluetooth software, perform a

Discovery of nearby Bluetooth devices. The Bluetooth Ring Scanner assembly is identified by the label “LXE Scanner – (MAC ID)”.

Using the generic device’s Bluetooth software, pair the devices.When the devices are paired, the Bluetooth Ring Scanner module’s Bluetooth LED flashes every 4 seconds.

The generic Bluetooth device will receive serial data sent by the Bluetooth Ring Scanner module every time a barcode is read and decoded by the attached ring decoder.

Clear Paired Status

Using the LXE Bluetooth device (e.g. handheld or vehicle mount unit) access the LXEZ Pairing control panel by tapping the Bluetooth icon on the Desktop (or the Taskbar or the Control Panel). Open the Bluetooth Devices panel. Locate the Bluetooth Ring Scanner module in the list of paired devices by comparing the MAC ID number in the list with the MAC ID barcode on the module.

Doubletap the Bluetooth Ring Scanner module icon. The right-mouse-click menu appears. Select Disconnect. When the icon is red, select Delete. All devices in the Bluetooth Devices panel can be cleared (deleted) in this manner, if necessary.

The deleted Bluetooth Ring Scanner module is excluded from the list the next time the Bluetooth Devices panel is opened.

If you cannot disconnect/delete the Bluetooth Ring Scanner module from the generic device at the end of the work day, please contact your System Administrator for assistance.

Chapter 2 Bluetooth Module Programming Barcodes

Introduction

Preparation

This chapter contains LXE programming barcodes to be used when programming the Bluetooth module only. The barcodes were created using Code 128 ASCII.

LXE scanners and imagers are setup to read Code 128 barcodes by default.

• The ring scanner, that is included in the Bluetooth Module, has an SE955 scan engine. Use the

programming barcodes in Chapter 3 to program the ring scanner engine parameters.

• The ring imager, that is a part of the Bluetooth Module, has an SE4400 scan engine. Use the

programming barcodes in Chapter 4 to program the ring imager scan engine parameters.

Assemble the Bluetooth Ring Scanner components:

• Connect the Ring decoder to the Bluetooth Module before inserting a battery into the

module. The Bluetooth Module performs initialization with the Ring Scanner on bootup.

• Fully charged battery must be secured in battery well.

• Ring scanner or ring imager can be tethered to the Bluetooth module. Both ring devices can

read the LXE programming barcodes in this chapter.

If desired, review the previous sections titled “How To” and “Troubleshooting” before you start to program the Bluetooth Module.

When parameters are changed, and saved to memory, the Bluetooth module LED blinks. Barcodes cannot be scanned until the LED color returns to normal mode.

The scan engine manufacturer may offer more barcodes and options than are contained in this guide. Please note that the barcodes in this guide are only those supported by LXE and the imagers or scanners linked to LXE mobile devices that LXE manufactures or supports. If you need assistance when using the barcodes in this guide, please contact your LXE representative.

Aiming Modes

There are many aiming “modes” for laser barcode scanners – aiming dots, aiming patterns, aim duration, etc. All aiming “modes” concern the length of time the beam is sent out, how wide the beam is and what happens when the timer expires. The terms are used interchangeably and may be confusing for the novice barcode laser scanner user.

Note: Decoding algorithms released by the barcode engine manufacturer often change upon

each new release. Programming parameters that were available at one release may not be available upon a later software release. LXE supports the programming barcodes for the specific engines in this guide only.

This scan engine can have it’s aiming beam/aiming dot setup using these barcodes in this guide:

• Use Laser On Time,

• Aim Duration, and

• Scan Angle.

How to get an aiming dot when there is no “Aiming Dot” parameter

Set Aim Duration to .5 seconds and an aiming “dot” is sent while the scan trigger is held down. When the timer expires, the aiming beam widens and the barcode is read.

Prefix / Suffix

SE955 scanner engine prefix and suffix parameters cannot be set, changed, or reset using the barcodes in this chapter.

Refer to the chapter titled “Scanner” in the [device specific e.g. HX2, HX3] Reference Guide for information and instruction on setting up the following scanner parameters:

• Enable/Disable decoding sounds

• Imager LED Illumination

• COM1 Serial Parameters

• Code ID: AIM, Symbol, Custom

• Symbology Settings including Prefix/Suffix

• Control Character Mapping

Scanner Parameters – General

Aim Duration

Note: For correct operation, reboot the mobile device after changing this value.

When a scanner with an aim mode is triggered either by a Scan button press, or a Start_Decode command, this parameter sets the duration the aiming pattern is seen before a scan attempt begins. It does not apply to the aim signal or the Aim_On command. It is programmable in 0.1 second increments from 0.0 to 9.9 seconds. No aim pattern is visible when the value is 0.0.

To set aim duration, scan the barcode below:

Next scan two numeric barcodes that correspond to the desired aim duration. Times less than 1.0 second must have a leading zero. For example, to set an aim duration of 0.5 seconds, scan the barcode above, then scan the “0” and “5” barcodes. If you make an error, or wish to change your selection, scan the Cancel barcode.
