communication by receiving scanner dat a via a Bluetoo th radio , and sending tha t dat a to the ho st through an

attached cable. The crad le attaches to a mounting bra cket using three isolators, and the br acket then mounts

on the forklift surface. A portable power supply on the forklift provides power to the cradle. DO NOT use these cradles with a Symbol LS3478 scanner. Likewise, DO NOT use cradles designed for the

LS3478 to charge or provide communication for a Symbol LS3578 scanner.

NOTE For more information about communication between the scanner, cradle, and host, see Chapter 4, Radio

Communications.

For more information about mounting options and procedures, refer to the documentation included with the cradle.

1 - 6 Symbol LS3578 Product Reference Guide

CAUTION If the scanner does not recognize the host, disconnect the power supply, then reconnect after

connecting the host cable.

Supplying Power to the Cradle

The cradle receives power from one of two sources:

•

An external power supply.

•

When connected to the host through an interface cable that supplies power. The cradle detects whether the host or the external supply is supplying power . It always draws power from the

external supply when available, regardless of the presence of power from a host.

Using the USB Interface to Supply Power

When the cradle is connected to the host via the USB interface, the USB port can power the cradle so that an external power supply is not necessary. Note that powering from a USB host charges the scanner at a slower rate than when charging from an external power supply.

Connecting a Synapse Cable Interface

NOTE Refer to the Synapse Interface Guide provided with the Synapse cable for more information.

Symbol’s Synapse Smart Cables enable interfacin g to a variety of hosts. The appropriate Synapse cable detects the host.

Charging the Scanner Battery in the Cradle

For best performance, fully charge the scanner battery before using the scanner for the first time. To charge the scanner battery , place the scanner in the cradle (see In serting the Scanner in the Cradle on p a ge 1-9) . The battery begins charging when the scanner LED indicator starts flashing green. A complete charge of a fully discharged battery can take up to four hours using external power and up to 10 hours using the interface cable.

Charge within the recommended temperature of 32° to 104° F (0° to 40° C) nominal, 41° to 95° F (5° to 35° C) ideal.

For information on maximizing battery life, see Battery Maintenance on page 3-1.

Scanner Charging LED

The scanner’s green LED indicates charging activity (see Table 2-2 on page 2-4). If the scanner is charging in fast mode (non-bus powered mode), the green LED blinks at a fast rate. If the scanner is charging in slow mode (bus-powered mode), the LED blinks at a slow rate.

If the scanner’s red LED begins flashing, indicating a charging problem, remove the scanner from the cradle and replace the battery. If the red LED continues flashing, contact Motorola Enterprise Mobility Support.

Inserting the Scanner in the Cradle

To insert the scanner in the cradle:

1. Insert the scanner into the cradle top first.

2. Push the handle until it clicks into place, engaging the contacts in the cradle and scanner.

Sending Data to the Host Computer

The cradle receives data from the scanner via a wireless radio con nection and transmit s it to th e host computer via the host cable. The scanner and cradle must be paired for successful wireless communication.

Pairing

Pairing registers a scanner to the cradle such that the scanner and cradle can exchange information. The STB3578 and FLB3578 operate in two modes: Point-to-Point and Multipoint-to-Point. In Point-to-Point mode, pair the scanner to the cradle either by inserting it in the cradle (if pairing on insertion is enabled), or by scanning the pairing bar code. In Multipoint-to-Point mode, you can pair up to three scanners to one cradle. To use this feature, scan the multipoint bar code in Multipoint-to-Point Communication on page 4-20.

The cradle includes pairing bar codes on both it s front and back. To pair the scanner with th e cradle, scan a pair ing bar code. A high-low-high-low beep sequence followed by a low-high beep sequence indicates successful pairing and connection to the remote device. A long low, long high beep sequence indicates unsuccessful pairing.

NOTE The pairing bar code that connects the scanner to a cradle is unique to each cradle.

Do not scan data or parameters until pairing completes.

Lost Connection to Host

If scanned data does not transmit to the cradle's host, ensure that all cables are firmly inserted and the power supply is connected to an appropriate AC outlet, if applicable. If scanned data still does not transmit to the host, reestablish a connection with the host:

1. Disconnect the power supply from the cradle.

2. Disconnect the host interface cable from the cradle.

3. Wait three seconds.

4. Reconnect the host interface cable to the cradle.

5. Reconnect the power supply to the cradle, if the host requires.

6. Reestablish pairing with the cradle by scanning the pairing bar code.

Configuring the Scanner

Use the bar codes in this manual or the 123Scan configuration program to configure the scanner. See Chap te r 5,

User Preferences and each host chapter for information about programming the scanner using bar code menus.

See Chapter 10, 123Scan to configure the scanner using this configuration program. 123Scan includes a help file.

Radio Communications

The scanner can communicate with remote devices via Bluetooth Technology Profile Support, or by pairing with a cradle. For radio communication parameters, detailed information about operational modes, Bluetooth Technology Profile Support and pairing, see Chapter 4, Radio Communications.

Chapter 4 Radio Communications

Introduction

This chapter provides information about the modes of op eration and fea tures available for wire less communication between scanners, cradles and hosts. The chapter also includes the parameters necessary to configure the scanner.

The scanner ships with the settings shown in the Table 4-1 on page 4-2 (also see Appendix A, Standard Default

Parameters for all host device and miscellaneous scanner defaults). If the default values suit requirements,

programming is not necessary. To set feature values, scan a single bar code or a short bar code sequence. The settings are stored in non-volatile

memory and are preserved even when th e sca nn e r is powered down. If not using a Synapse or USB cable with the cradle, select a host type (see each host chapter for specific host

information) after the power-up beeps sound. This is only necessary upon the first power-up when connected to a new host.

To return all features to default values, scan a bar code in Default Parameters on page 5-4. Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks (

*).

*Disable Pair on Contacts

Feature/Option* Indicates Default

Scanning Sequence Examples

In most cases, scan one bar code to set a specific parameter value.

Errors While Scanning

Unless otherwise specified, to correct an error during a scanning sequence, just re-scan the correct parameter.

Radio Communications Host Types

To set up the scanner for communication with a cradle, or to use standard Bluetooth profiles, scan the appropriate host type bar code below.

•

Cradle Host (default) - Select this host type for scanner(s) to cradle operation. The scanner must then be paired to the cradle and the cradle communicates directly to the host via the host interface cable connection.

•

Serial Port Profile (Master) - Select this host type for Bluetooth Technology Profile Support (see page 4-6). The scanner connects to the PC/host via Bluetooth and behaves like there’ s a serial connection. The scanne r initiates the connection to the remote device and is the Master. Scan Serial Port Profile (Master), then scan the PAIR bar code for the remote device. See Pairin g Bar C ode F or mat on page 4-24 for information about creating a pairing bar code for a remote device.

•

Serial Port Profile (Slave) - Select this host type for Bluetooth Tech nology Profile Support (see page 4-6). The scanner connects to the PC/host via Bluetooth and behaves like there’s a serial connection. The scanner accepts incoming connection requested from a remote device and is the Slave. Scan Serial Port Profile

(Slave) and wait for the incoming connection.

•

Bluetooth Keyboard Emulation (HID Slave) - Select this host type for Bluetooth Technology Profile Support. (See p age 4-6 for Bluetooth Technology Profile Support and Master/Slave definitions.) The scanner co nnects to the PC/host via Bluetooth and behaves like a keyboard. The scanner accepts incoming connection requested from a remote device and is the slave. Scan Bluetooth Keyboard Emulation (HID Slave) and wait for the incoming connection.

NOTE 1.The scanner supports keyboard emulation over the Bluetooth HID profile. For detailed information, and

HID host parameters, see HID Host Parameters on page 4-8.

2. When the scanner is paired to the cradle in SPP Master or Cradle Host mode, the scanner automatically tries to reconnect to a remote device when a disconnection occurs that is due to the radio losing communication. For more information see Auto-reconnect Feature on page 4-15.

Bluetooth Technology Profile Support

With Bluetooth Technology Profile Support, the cradle is not required for wireless communication. The scanner communicates directly to the host using Bluetooth technology. The scanner support s the stan dard Blueto oth Serial Port Profile (SPP) and HID Profiles which enable the scanner to communicate with other Bluetooth devices that support these profiles.

•

SPP - the scanner connects to the PC/host via Bluetooth and performs like there’s a serial connection.

•

HID - the scanner connects to the PC/host via Bluetooth and performs like a keyboard.

Master/Slave Set Up

The scanner can be set up as a Master or Slave. When the scanner is set up as a Slave, it is discoverable and connectable to other devices. When the scanner is

set up as a Master, the Bluetooth address of the remote device to which a connection is requested is required. A pairing bar code with the remote device address must be created and scanned to attempt a connection to the remote device. See the Pairing Bar Code Format on page 4-24 for information about creating a pairing bar code.

Master

When the scanner is set up as a Master (SPP), it initiates the radio connection to a slave device. Initiating the connection is done by scanning a pairing bar code for the remote device (see Pairing Bar Code Format on page

4-24).

Slave

When the scanner is set up as a Slave device (SPP or HID), the scanner accepts an incoming connection request from a remote device.

NOTE The number of scanners is dependent on the host’s capability.

Auto-reconnect Feature

When in SPP Master or Cradle Host mode, the scanner automatically tries to reconnect to a remote device when a disconnection occurs that is due to the radio losing communication. This can happen if the scanner goes out of range with the remote device, or if the remote device powers down. The scanner tries to reconnect for the pe riod of time specified by the Reconnect Attempt Interval setting. During that time the green LED continues to blink.

If the auto-reconnect process fails due to page timeouts, the scanner sounds a page timeout beep (long low/long high) and enters low power mode. The auto-reconnect process can be re-started by pulling the scanner trigger.

If the auto-reconnect process fails because the remote device rejects the connection attempt, the scanner sounds a connection reject beep sequence (see Wireless Beeper Definitions on page 4-3) and deletes the remote pairing address. If this happens, a pairing bar code must be scanned to attempt a new connection to the remote device.

NOTE If a bar code is scanned while the auto-reconnect sequence is in process, a transmission error beep

sequence sounds and the data is not transmitted to the host. After a connection is reestablished, normal scanning operation returns. For error beep sequence definitions, see Beeper Definitions on page 2-1.

The scanner has memory available for storing a remote Bluetooth address for each Master mode (SPP, Cradle). When switching between these modes, the scann e r auto matically tries to reconnect to the last device it was connected to in that mode.

Radio Communications 4 - 15

NOTE Switching between Bluetooth host types by scanning a host type bar code (page 4-4) causes the radio to

be reset. Scanning is disabled during this time. It takes several seconds for the scanner to re-initialize the radio at which time scanning is enabled.

Reconnect Attempt Beep Feedback

When a scanner disconnects as it goes out of range, it immediately attempts to reconnect. While the scanner attempts to reconnect, the green LED continues to blink. If the auto-reconnect process fails, the scanner emits a page timeout beep (long low/long high) and stops blinking the LED. The process can be restarted by pulling the trigger.

The Beep on Reconnect Attempt feature is disabled by default. When enabled, the scanner emits 5 short high beeps every 5 seconds while the reconnection attempt is in progress.

Auto-reconnect in Bluetooth Keyboard Emulation (HID Slave) Mode

In Bluetooth Keyboard Emulation (HID Slave) mode, select a re-connect option for when the scanner loses its connection with a remote device:

•

Auto-reconnect on Bar Code Data: The scanner auto-reconnects when you scan a bar code. With this

option, a delay can occur when transmitting the first characters. The scanner sounds a decode beep upon bar code scan, followed by a connection, a page timeout, a rejection beep, or a transmission error beep. Select this option to optimize battery life on the scanner and mobile device. Note that auto-reconnect does not occur on rejection and cable unplug commands.

•

Auto-reconnect Immediately: When the scanner loses connection, it attempts to reconnect. If a page

timeout occurs, the scanner attempts reconnect on a trigger pull. Select this optio n if the scanner’s battery life is not an issue and you do not want a delay to occur when the first bar code is transmitted. Note that auto-reconnect does not occur on rejection and cable unplug commands.

•

Disable Auto-reconnect in Bluetooth Keyboard Emulation (HID Slave) Mode: When the scanner loses

connection, you must re-establish it manually.

Out of Range Indicator

An out of range indicator can be set by scanning Enable Beep on Reconnect Attempt on p age 4- 15 and extending the time using the Reconnect Attempt Interval on page 4-16.

For example, with Beep on Reconnect Attempt disabled while the scanner loses radio connection when it is taken out of range, the scanner attempts to reconnect silently during the time interval set by scanning a Reconnect Attempt Interval.

When Beep on Reconnect Attempt is enabled, the scanner emits 5 high beeps every 5 seconds while the reconnection attempt is in progress. If the Reconnect Attempt Interval is adjusted to a longer period of time, such as 30 minutes, the scanner emits 5 high beeps e very 5 seconds for 30 minutes providing an out of range indicator.

Scanner(s) To Cradle Support

Modes of Operation

The charging cradle with radio supports two radio communication modes of operation, allowing the scanner to communicate wirelessly:

•

Point-to-Point

•

Multipoint-to-Point.

Point-to-Point Communication

In Point-to-Point communication mode, the cradle allows one scanner to connect to it at a time. In this mode, the scanner is paired to the cradle either by inser tion into the cradle (i f pairing on co ntact s is enabled, page 4-23), or by scanning the PAIR bar code on the cradle. Communication can be locked, unlocked (default), or in a lock override state (see Pairing Modes on page 4-22). In locked mode, locking intervals must be set by scanning a connection maintenance interval bar code beginning on page 4-24.

To activate this mode of operation, scan Point-to-Point.

Multipoint-to-Point Communication

In Multipoint-to-Point communication mode, up to three scanners can be paired to one cra dle. To activate this mode, the first scanner connected to the cradle must scan the Multipoint-to-Point bar code. This

mode allows a parameter broadcast (page 4-21) that clones all scanners paired to the cradle so only one scanner needs to be programmed.

To select Point-to-Point or Multipoint-to-Point mode, scan the appropriate bar code.

Multipoint-to-Point Mode

*Point-to-Point Mode

Radio Communications 4 - 21

Parameter Broadcast (Cradle Host Only)

When in multipoint-to-point mode, enable Parameter Broadcast to broadcast all parameter bar codes scanned to all other scanners in the piconet. If disabled, parameter bar codes are processed by the individual scanner only, and the scanner ignores parameters broadcast from other scanners or from the cradle.

*Enable Parameter Broadcast

Disable Parameter Broadcast

Pairing

Pairing is the process by which a scanner initiates communication with a cradle. Scanning Multipoint-to-Point activates multi scanner-to-cradle operatio n an d allo ws up to thr e e sca nn ers to pair to one cradle . The c radle includes a pairing bar code.

To pair the scanner with the cradle, scan the pairing bar code on the cradle. A high/low/high/low beep sequence indicates that the pairing bar code was decoded. When a connectio n between the cradle and scanner is established, a low/high beep sounds.

NOTE 1. The pairing bar code that connects the scanner to a cradle is unique to each cradle.

2. Do not scan data or parameters un ti l pairing completes.

3. When the scanner is paired to the cradle in SPP Master or Cradle Host mode, the scanner automatically tries to reconnect to a remote device when a disconnection occurs that is due to the radio losing communication. For more information see Auto-reconnect Feature on page 4-15.

4 - 22 Symbol LS3578 Product Reference Guide

Pairing Modes

When operating with the cradle, two modes of pairing are supported:

•

Locked Pairing Mode - When a cradle is paired (connected) to the scanner (or to three scanners in Multipoint-to-Point mode), any attempt to connect a different scanner, by either scanning the PAIR ba r code on the cradle or by inserting it into the cradle with the pairing on contacts feature enabled (page 4-23), is rejected. The currently connected scanner(s) maintain connection. In this mode, you must set a Connection

Maintenance Interval on page 4-24.

•

Unlocked Pairing Mode - Pair (connect) a new scanner to a cradle at any time by either scanning the PAIR bar code on the cradle or by inserting it into the cradle with the pairing on contacts feature enabled. This unpairs the previous scanner from the cradle.

NOTE In Multipoint-to-Point mode, pairing a 4th scanner while in Unlocked mode replaces any disconnected (out

of range) scanner. However, if three scanners are actively connected to the cradle, a 4th scanner cannot connect regardless of the pairing mode.

To set the cradle pairing mode, scan the appropriate bar code below.

*Unlocked Pairing Mode

Locked Pairing Mode

Lock Override

Lock Override overrides a locked scanner base p airing an d connect s a new scanner. In Multipoint-to-Point mode, this unpairs any disconnected (out of range) scanner first, in order to connect the new scanner.

To use Lock Override, scan the bar code below, followed by the pairing bar code on the cradle.

LockOverride

Radio Communications 4 - 23

Pairing Methods

There are two pairing methods. The default method allows the scanner and cradle to pair (connect) when the pairing bar code on the cradle is scanned. A second method pairs the scanner and cradle when the scanner is inserted in the cradle. To enable this feature, scan Enable Pair On Contacts below. With this feature enabled it is not necessary to scan the pairing bar code on the cradle. If the pairing is successful, a low/high connection beep sequence sounds a few seconds after the scanner is placed in the cradle. See Wireless Beeper Definitions on

page 4-3 for other beep sequences.

To enable or disable pairing on contacts, scan the appropriate bar code below.

Enable Pair On Contacts

*Disable Pair on Contacts

Unpairing

Unpair the scanner from the cradle or PC/host to make the cradle available for pairing with another scanner. Scan the bar code below to disconnect the scanner from its cradle/PC host .

An unpairing bar code is also included in the Symbol LS3578 Quick Start Guide.

Unpairing

4 - 24 Symbol LS3578 Product Reference Guide

Pairing Bar Code Format

When the scanner is configured as an SPP Master, you must create a pairing bar code for the remote Bluetooth device to which the scanner can connect. You must know the Bluetooth address of the remote device. Pairing bar codes are Code 128 bar codes and are formatted as follows:

<Fnc 3>Bxxxxxxxxxxxx

where:

•

B (or LNKB) is the prefix

•

xxxxxxxxxxxx represents the 12-character Bluetooth address.

Pairing Bar Code Example

If the remote device to which the scanner can connect has a Bluetooth address of 11:22:33:44:55:66, then the pairing bar code is:

Paring Bar Code Content:

‘B’ or ‘LNKB’ + Bluetooth Address

B112233445566

Connection Maintenance Interval

NOTE The Connection Maintenance Interval only applies in locked pairing mode (see page 4-22).

When a scanner disconnects from a cradle due to a Link Supervision Timeout, the scanner immediately attempts to reconnect to the cradle for 30 seconds. If the auto-reconnect process fails, it can be restarted by pulling the scanner trigger.

To guarantee that a disconnected scanner can reconnect when it comes back in range, the cradle reserves the connection for that scanner for a period of time defined by the Connection Main tenance Interval. If the cradle is supporting the maximum three scanners and one scanner disconnects, a fourth scanner cannot pair to the cradle during this interval. To connect another scanner, either wait until the connection maintenance interval expires then scan the PAIR bar code on the cradle with the new scanner; or scan Lock Override (page 4-22) with the new scanner then scan the PAIR bar code on the cradle.

NOTE When the cradle supports the maximum three scanners, it stores the remote pairing address of each

scanner in memory regardless of the scanner condition (e.g., discharged battery). When you want to change the scanners paired to the cradle, unpair each scanner currently connected to the cradle by scanning the Unpairing bar code prior and reconnect each appropriate scanner by scanning the PAIR bar code on the cradle.

Considerations

The system administrator determines the Connection Maintenance Interval. A shor ter interval allows new users to gain access to abandoned connections more quickly, but causes problems if users leave the work area for extended periods. A longer interval allows existing users to leave the work area for longer periods of time, but ties up the system for new users.

To avoid this conflict, users who are going off-shift can scan the unpair bar code on page 4-23 to ignore the Connection Maintenance Interval and make the connection immediately available.

To set the Connection Maintenance Interval, scan one of the bar codes below.

Bluetooth Security

The scanner supports Bluetooth Authentication and Encryption. Authentication can be requested by either the remote device or the scanner. When Authentication is requested, the scanner uses its programmed PIN code to generate a link key. The scanner stores this link key upon pairing, so you do not have to re-enter the PIN code when moving in and out of range, switching profiles, or switching between devices (e.g., between the cradle an d the application).

Once Authentication is complete, either device may then negotiate to enable Encryption.

NOTE A remote device can still request Authentication.

Authentication

To force Authentication with a remote device (including the cradle), scan the Enable Authentication bar code below. To prevent the scanner from forcing Authentication, scan the Dis able Authentication bar code below.

Radio Communications 4 - 27

Enable Authentication

*Disable Authentication

4 - 28 Symbol LS3578 Product Reference Guide

PIN Code

To set the PIN code (e.g., password) on the scanner, scan the bar code below followed by five alphanumeric programming bar codes from Appendix E, Alphanumeric Bar Codes. The default PIN code is 12345.

If the scanner communicates with a cradle with security enabled, synchronize the PIN codes on the scanner and cradle. To achieve this, connect the scanner to the cradle when setting the PIN codes. If the scanner is not connected to a cradle, the PIN code change only takes effect on the scanner. If security is required between the scanner and cradle, and the PIN codes do not match, pairing fails. If the PIN codes are not synchronized, re-synchronize them by disabling security, establishing a connection to the cradle, and then programming a new PIN code.

Variable PIN Code

Set PIN Code

The default PIN code is the user-programmed Static PIN Code. Typically, however, HID connections require entering a Variable PIN Code. If, when attempting connection, the application presents a text box that includes a PIN, scan the Variable PIN Code bar code, then re-attempt connection. When you hear a beep indicating the scanner is waiting for an alphanumeric entry, enter the provided variable PIN using the Alphanumeric Keyboard on page E-1, then scan End of Message on page E-7 if the code is less than 16 characters. The scanner discard s the variable PIN code after connection.

Chapter 5 User Preferences

Introduction

This chapter describes each user preferen ce fea tu re an d provides the programming bar codes for selecting these features for the scanner.

The scanner ships with the settings shown in the User Preferences Default Table on page 5-2 (also see Appendix

A, Standard Default Parameters for all host device and miscellaneous scanner defaults). If the default values suit

the requirements, programming is not necessary. Set feature values by scanning single bar codes or short bar code sequences. The settings are stored in

Batch Mode

The scanner supports three versions of batch mode. Whe n the scanner is config ured for any of the batch modes, it attempts to store bar code data (not parameter bar codes) until transmission is initialized, or the maximum number of bar codes are stored. When a bar code is saved succe ssfully, a good decode beep sounds and the LED flashes green. If the scanner is unable to store a new bar code, a low/high/low/high out of memory beep sounds. (See pages 2-1 and 2-4 for all beeper and LED definitions.)

In all modes, calculate the amount of data (number of bar codes) the scanner can store as follows:

Number of storable bar codes = 2,000 bytes of memory / (number of characters in the bar code + 3).

Modes of Operation

•

Normal (default) - Do not batch data. The scanner attempts to transmit every scanned bar code.

•

Out of Range Batch Mode - The scanner starts storing bar code data when it loses its connection to a

remote device (for example, when a user holding the scanner walks out of range). Data transmission is triggered by reestablishing the connection with the remote device (for example, when a user holding the scanner walks back into range).

•

Standard Ba tch Mode - The scanne r st ar t s storing bar code dat a a f ter Enter Batch Mode is scanned. Data transmission is triggered by scanning Send Batch Data.

NOTE Transmission is halted if the connection to the remote device is lost.

•

Cradle Contact Batch Mode - The scanner starts storing bar code data when Ente r Ba tc h Mod e is

scanned. Data transmission is triggered by insertion of the scanner into the cradle.

NOTE If the scanner is removed from the cradle during batch data transfer, transmission halts until the scanner is

re-inserted in the cradle.

In all modes, transmissions are halted if the scanner is moved out of range. The scanner resumes when it is back in range. If a bar code is scanned while batch data is transmitted it is appended to the end of the batched data; parameter bar codes are not stored.

Chapter 6 Keyboard Wedge Interface

Introduction

This chapter provides instructions for programming the scanner for keyboard wedge host interface, used to connect the scanner between the keyboard and host computer. The scanner translates the bar code data into keystrokes, and transmits the information to the host computer via the cradle interface. The host computer accept s the keystrokes as if they originated from the keyboard.

This interface adds bar code reading functionality to a system designed for manual keyboard input. In this mode the keyboard keystrokes are simply passed through.

Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks (
