MS3590 Mobile Scanner Quick Guide
A standard packing includes a mobile scanner, a USB cable and a CD (containing software
and electrical manuals). Optional accessory includes a Bluetooth USB adapter BA2110
which supports reliable wireless data transmission and an AC/DC adaptor for battery charge.
The term “scanner” as used in this guide denotes the mobile scanner.
Use dry and soft cloth to clean the scanner.
Effective communication range: The communication distance is 30 meters under the
condition of temperature at 27 degrees Celsius, sunny day, and visibility of 5 kilometers.
Natural surroundings significantly affect the communication distance in practice. The
distance drops quickly in the rainy, high-humidity, or heavy haze day; radio interference also
shortens the communication distance.
Bluetooth uses the 2.4 GHz ISM frequency band. The WLAN also uses the same one. So the
coexistence of the scanner and WLAN may cause a strong decline in the effective
communication range.
The scanner provides a variety of wireless communication modes, and supports batch data
mode and U disk mode. It is suggested to read the user manual in details before use.

HID Keyboard
SPP Master/Slave
The scanner connects to the PC via Bluetooth and behaves like a
keyboard.
The scanner connects to the PC via Bluetooth and behaves like there is a
serial connection. A master SPP mainly differs from a slave one in the
process of connection and they are identical in the process of use in terms
of function. Note: Bluetooth-enabled smart phones and PDAs can host
the scanner in general. However, ordinary mobile phones with Bluetooth
function can not be a host of the scanner because in most cases neither
HID nor SPP profile is supported by them.
Configure Bluetooth HID keyboard profile communication
Note: Make sure the Bluetooth module of the scanner is powered on (blue LED is on) and the
selected profile is System SettingBluetoothBT HID Keyboard.
Step 1: Plug a Bluetooth USB adapter into the USB port of the PC.
Step 2: Double-click the Bluetooth icon at the right bottom corner on Windows XP (
Alternatively, you may go to Control Panel->Bluetooth Device.
Step 3: Click Add to search devices nearby.
Step 4: Click to select “My device is set up and ready to be found” and click Next.
Step 5: It takes a few seconds for the Wizard to search devices. The scanner will appear with its
“serial number” as the device name, click and select the target scanner. Click Next.
Step 6: Click and select “Let me choose my own passkey”. Enter a passkey, e.g. 1111, and click Next.
Step 7: The scanner promotes the user to accept the connection request. Press Left Soft Key to accept.
Step 8: Enter a passkey which is exactly the same as that entered from the PC.
Step 9: Wait for a few seconds for Windows to exchange passkeys. Click Finish.
Step 10: Run the desired application, such as a Notepad and scan barcodes to check data transmission.
