TINYOM / HELYOMBT UTILITIES USER GUIDE

Presentation

The Tinyom and the HelyomBT are Bluetooth laser scanner, the Tinyom have the distinctive feature of being hand free. They communicate with any device equipped with a Bluetooth module.

The Tinyom and the HelyomBT work in the same manner except for the triggering. In the following documentation, TXcom reader means that the feature applies for both units.

Only SPP profile (Serial Port Profile) is supported. This profile allows you to establish a serial link between two Bluetooth devices.

The Bluetooth device must be a PC (BALADYOM, ....), a tablet PC, a

PDA (PREMIOM, ....), a printer.

Depending on the device Operating System, TXcom reader will operate in master mode or in slave mode.

Tinyom HelyomBT

TinyomSet software is a utility to set up and upgrade the Tinyom, and HelyomSet the equivalent for the HelyomBT. ComClavXP, ComClavCE software are utilities compatible for both units.

TinyomSet and HelyomSet are programming tools of the Tinyom and the HelyomBT and also tools to create initialization files which will be used by Conclav software.

ComClavXP and ComClavCE are keyboard emulation which also make it possible to initialize TXcom reader.

Using TXcom reader

Pairing

To pair TXcom reader to a Bluetooth device

In master mode

Read the bar code label containing the Bluetooth Device Address

of the remote device with the TXcom reader.

Label Format

code 128 BDA Address {FNC3}aabbccddeeff{FNC3}

Where

aa hexadecimal value of the first byte of the BDA address bb hexadecimal value of the second byte of the BDA address

....

ff hexadecimal value of the last byte of the BDA address

When the TXcom reader is put on the charger, it switches to slave mode.

You need to pair it before using it.

TINYOM / HELYOMBT UTILITIES USER GUIDE

In slave mode

Read the bar code hereafter with the TXcom reader and activate

the Bluetooth device discovery from the remote device to find the TXcom reader and connect it to the Bluetooth device.

Slave Mode

The Tinyom BDA address is located under the Tinyom, near the

fastener.

The HelyomBT BDA address is located behind the HelyomBT

laser window.

Creating a SPP connection

Install on your PC a Bluetooth Software, before plug-in Bluetooth device.

When the installation is completed, proceed as follows:

Master mode

1. Check your Bluetooth device address

Start / Settings / Control Panel / Bluetooth Configuration / Hardware Tab

2. Print a bar code containing the BDA address of the device.

See Label format on page 6 and see BDAprint software on page 50

3. In Bluetooth properties, unitck Secure Connection

Start / Settings / Control Panel / Bluetooth Configuration / Client application / Proprieties button

4. Scan the BDA label with TXcom reader.

Slave mode

1. Open the Bluetooth serial port.

2. Search for Bluetooth device.

Start / Programs / My Bluetooth Places / Bluetooth Menu / Search for device Option

TINYOM / HELYOMBT UTILITIES USER GUIDE

3. Connect the Bluetooth device to TXcom reader.

Starting / Turning off

Starting

For the Tinyom, press lightly on the touch sensor during one second.

For the HelyomBT, press the trigger button during 1 second.

Turn off

The TXcom reader turns off:

• Automatically after a configurable delay without activity,

this delay is set to 1 hour by default,

• By a long touch of roughly 2 seconds on the sensor when the

long touch triggering mode is set to ON/OFF (See Trigger setting on page 21),

• For the Tinyom, by a long touch greater then 7 seconds and

after that the 3 LED green, red, blue flash briefly.

Operating

The laser reading is triggered by the activation of the touch sensor or the motion sensor for the Tinyom, by the trigger button for the HelyomBT or by radio for both.

Read could be one-shot mode or burst mode.

1. Start the laser scanner.

2. Aim the laser window on the bar code label to read.

Hold the laser scanner at a slight angle to the bar code, other than perpendicular.

3. Start scanning by one of the following modes:

One shot mode

Default mode.

• By the touch sensor or the trigger button

• By the motion sensor

This one detects a preset movement (wrist in stable position,

then movement from left to right or vice versa, then return in stable position, then the laser beam starts).

In this mode, once the beam is on, it remains on without any user action until that the TXcom reader reads a bar code. To make the next read, it is necessary to start the laser once again.

Hold mode

TINYOM / HELYOMBT UTILITIES USER GUIDE

Default mode.

By a long press until a bar code read.

In this mode, to keep the beam on, the user should press the touch sensor or the button until that the TXcom reader reads a bar code. To make the next read, it is necessary to start the laser once again.

Burst mode

Default mode. By a long press of roughly one second on the touch sensor or the

trigger button.

In this mode, once the beam is on, it remains on without any user action until that the TXcom reader reads a bar code and starts automatically the beam for the next read after a configurable delay.

Charging the Battery

The battery must be charged between -20°C and +45°C. Please refer to the Quick Guide provided with the reader.

Installing the Hand strap (TINYOM)

Please refer to the Quick Guide provided with the reader.
