Linear Imager Scanner Cradle

The scanner cradles (CR0078-S and CR0078-P) serve as a stand, charger, and host interface for the linear imager scanner. The cradle sits on a desktop. The CR0078-S cradle can also be mounted on a vertical surface (such as a wall). For more information about mounting options and procedures, refer to the documentation included with the cradle.

The CR0078-S cradle is available as a charging cradle with a radio and as a charge-only cradle. The CR0078-P cradle is only available as a charging cradle with a radio. The differences between the two versions are as follows:

•

Charging cradle with radio: When the cordless linear imager scanner is paired to the cradle, all

communication between the linear imager scanner and the host computer is accomplished through the cradle. Each bar code contains programming instructions or other data unique to the bar code pattern. The linear imager scanner is paired to the cradle and transmits bar code data to the cradle via Bluetooth Technology Profile Support. The cradle then sends that information via an interface cable to the host computer for interpretation.

•

Charge-only cradle: This cradle serves as a stand and battery charger. It does not contain a radio and

has no communication capability.

GETTING STARTED 1 - 7

NOTE For more information about communication between the linear imager scanner, cradle and host, see

Chapter 4, RADIO COMMUNICATIONS.

Connecting the CR0078-S/CR0008-S Series Cradle

IMPORTANTConnect the interface cable and power supply (if necessary) in the following order to ensure proper

operation of the linear imager scanner and cradle.

1. If a power supply is connected to the cradle, disconnect it. See Figure 1-7.

2. If using an interface cable (CR0078-S only), insert the cable into the cradle’s host port.

3. If using a power supply that connects to the interface cable (CR0078-S only), insert this power supply into

the power connector on the interface cable, and the other end to an AC supply.

4. Insert the other end of the interface cable into the appropriate port on the host computer (see the specific

host chapter for information on host connections).

5. If using an external power supply (if required by the interface, or to allow fast charging of the linear imager

scanner), insert the power cable into the power port on the back of the cradle, and connect the power supply to an approved AC supply (refer to the CR0078-S/CR0008-S Cradle Quick Reference Guide for more information).

Figure 1-7

6. If applicable, thread the interface cable over the cable support hook and run the host and power cables into

Connecting the Cables to the CR0078-S/CR0008-S Cradle

their respective cable grooves.

7. Mount the cradle, as necessary. (For information on mounting the cradle, refer to the documentation

included with the cradle.)

NOTE Disconnect the power supply before changing host cables, or the cradle may not recognize the new host.

Different cables are required for different hosts. The connectors illustrated in each host chapter are examples only. The connectors may be different from those illustrated, but the steps to connect the cradle remain the same.

Supplying Power to the CR0078-S/CR0008-S Cradle

The CR0078-S/CR0008-S cradle receives power from one of two sources:

•

An external power supply.

•

When connected to the host through a host cable that supplies power (CR0078-S only).

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.

When the CR0078-S cradle is connected to the host via the USB interface, it can be powered by the USB port instead of an external power supply. Powering from a USB host limits charging. The linear imager scanner charges at a slower rate than when charging from an external power supply.

1. Insert the interface cable into the cradle’s host port.

2. Connect the other end of the interface cable to the host.

3. Connect the power supply to the cradle’s power port.

4. Connect the appropriate cable to the power supply and AC power source.

5. Thread the interface cable over the cable support hook (see Chapter 1-6, CR0078-P Cradle Bottom View)

and run the host and power cables into their respective cable grooves.

6. If necessary, (for non-autodetected interfaces) scan the appropriate host bar code (refer to the

CR0078-S/CR0008-S Cradle Quick Reference Guide for more information).

Connecting the Cables to the CR0078-P Cradle

Supplying Power to the CR0078-P Cradle

The CR0078-P cradle receives power from an external power supply.

NOTE The CR0078-S cradle has the ability to be powered by the host instead of an external power supply. The

CR0078-P can only receive power via an external power supply.

It is always recommended that an external power supply be used to provide fastest recharge times.

1 - 10 LI4278 Product Reference Guide

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 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 required.

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

NOTE The CR0078-S does not always require a power supply whereas the CR0078-P always requires a power

supply.

Mounting the Cradle

For information on mounting the CR0078-S cradle, refer to the documentation included with the cradle.

Replacing the Linear Imager Scanner Battery

Charging the Linear Imager Scanner Battery

Fully charge the linear imager scanner battery before using the linear imager scanner for the first time. To charge the linear imager scanner battery, place the linear imager scanner in the cradle, ensuring that the metal contacts on the bottom of the linear imager scanner touch the contacts on the cradle. A complete charge of a fully discharged battery can take typically three hours using external power and typically five hours when powered from a host.

For battery charging LED indicators see Table 1-3 and Table 2-2 on page 2-5. See Table 1-4 on page 1-13 for battery reconditioning LED indicators.

CAUTION To avoid a battery temperature fault, always charge the battery in the linear imager scanner within the

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

Approved Cleaning Agents

The following cleaning agents are approved for cleaning the plastics on Zebra scanners/cradles:

• Pre-moistened wipes

• Isopropyl alcohol 70%

Cleaning the Linear Imager Scanner

CAUTION Avoid using cleansers directly on the linear imager scanner battery door and contacts. Use a cotton

swab moistened with alcohol to gently clean contacts.

Routinely cleaning the exit window is required. A dirty window may affect scanning accuracy. Do not allow any abrasive material to touch the window.

To clean the scanner:

1. Dampen a soft cloth with one of the approved cleaning agents listed above or use pre-moistened wipes.

2. Gently wipe all surfaces, including the front, back, sides, top and bottom. Never apply liquid directly to the

scanner. Be careful not to let liquid pool around the scanner window, trigger, cable connector or any other area on the device.

3. Be sure to clean the trigger and in between the trigger and the housing (use a cotton-tipped applicator to

reach tight or inaccessible areas).

4. Do not spray water or other cleaning liquids directly into the exit window.

5. Wipe the scanner exit window with a lens tissue or other material suitable for cleaning optical material such

as eyeglasses.

6. Immediately dry the scanner window after cleaning with a soft non-abrasive cloth to prevent streaking.

7. Allow the unit to air dry before use.

8. Scanner connectors:

a. Dip the cotton portion of a cotton-tipped applicator in isopropyl alcohol.

b. Rub the cotton portion of the cotton-tipped applicator back-and-forth across the connector on the

Zebra scanner at least 3 times. Do not leave any cotton residue on the connector.

c. Use the cotton-tipped applicator dipped in alcohol to remove any grease and dirt near the connector

area.

d. Use a dry cotton tipped applicator and rub the cotton portion of the cotton-tipped applicator

back-and-forth across the connectors at least 3 times. Do not leave any cotton residue on the connectors.

Cleaning the Linear Imager Scanner Cradles

CAUTION Avoid using cleansers directly on the linear imager scanner cradle contacts. Use a cotton swab

moistened with alcohol to gently clean contacts.

Do not pour, spray or spill any liquid on the cradle. See Cleaning the Linear Imager Scanner for instructions about cleaning the cradles.

To clean the cradle connectors:

1. Remove the DC power cable from the cradle.

MAINTENANCE, TROUBLESHOOTING & TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS 3 - 3

2. Dip the cotton portion of a cotton-tipped applicator in isopropyl alcohol.

3. Rub the cotton portion of the cotton-tipped applicator along the pins of the connector. Slowly move the

applicator back-and-forth from one side of the connector to the other. Do not let any cotton residue remain on the connector.

4. Rub all sides of the connector with the cotton-tipped applicator.

5. Spray compressed air in the connector area by pointing the tube/nozzle approximately 1/2 inch (1 cm)

away from the surface.

CAUTION When using compressed air, always wear eye protection; do not point nozzle at yourself or

others; make sure the nozzle or tube is pointing away from your face; read warning label on compressed air product.

a. Ensure that there is no lint left by the cotton tipped applicator. Remove lint if found.

b. If grease and other dirt are found on other areas of the cradle, use a lint free cloth and isopropyl

alcohol to remove.

c. Allow at least 10 to 30 minutes (depending on ambient temperature and humidity) for the isopropyl

alcohol to air dry before applying power to cradle.

NOTE If the temperature is low and humidity is high, longer drying time is required. Warm temperature

and low humidity requires less drying time.

Battery Information

Rechargeable battery packs are designed and constructed to the highest standards within the industry. However, there are limitations to how long a battery can operate or be stored before needing replacement. Many factors affect the life of a battery pack such as heat, cold, customer usage profiles, age and severe drops.

When batteries are stored over a year, battery cell manufacturers advise that some irreversible deterioration in overall battery quality may occur. To minimize this loss, they recommend storing batteries half charged in a dry, cool place between 41° F and 77° F (5° C and 25° C), the cooler the better, and removed from the equipment to prevent the loss of capacity. Batteries should be charged to half capacity at least once a year. If an electrolyte leakage is observed, avoid any contact with the affected area and properly dispose of the battery.

Replace the battery when a significant loss of run time is detected. Batteries must be charged within the 32° F to 104° F (0° C to 40°C) temperature range.

The standard warranty period for all Zebra batteries is 30 days, regardless if the battery was purchased separately or included as part of the linear imager scanner. For more information on batteries, please visit:

www.zebra.com/support.

COMMUNICATIONS

Introduction

This chapter provides information about the modes of operation and features available for wireless communication between linear imager scanners, cradles and hosts. The chapter also includes the parameters necessary to configure the linear imager scanner.

The linear imager scanner ships with the settings shown in the Radio Communication Default Table on page

4-2 (also see Appendix A, STANDARD DEFAULT PARAMETERS for all host device and miscellaneous linear

imager 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 the linear imager scanner 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 default bar code in Default Parameters on page 5-4. Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks (

*).

Scanning Sequence Examples

Errors While Scanning

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

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

4 - 2 LI4278 Product Reference Guide

Radio Communications Parameter Defaults

Table 4-1 lists the defaults for radio communication parameters. If you wish to change any option, scan the

appropriate bar code(s) provided in the Radio Communications Parameters section beginning on page 4-3.

NOTE See Appendix A, STANDARD DEFAULT PARAMETERS for all user preferences, hosts, symbologies, and

miscellaneous default parameters.

In this guide, the parameter numbers listed are the same as the attribute numbers for these parameters.

Radio Communications Host Types

To set up the linear imager 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 linear imager scanner(s) to cradle operation. The linear imager 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 (Central) - Select this host type for Bluetooth Technology Profile Support (see page

4-6). The linear imager scanner connects to the PC/host via Bluetooth and performs like there’s a serial

connection. The linear imager scanner initiates the connection to the remote device and is the Central. Scan Serial Port Profile (Central), then scan the PAIR bar code for the remote device. See Pairing Bar

Code Format on page 4-25 for information about creating a pairing bar code for a remote device.

•

Serial Port Profile (Peripheral) - Select this host type for Bluetooth Technology Profile Support (see page

4-6). The linear imager scanner connects to the PC/host via Bluetooth and performs like there’s a serial

connection. The linear imager scanner accepts incoming connection requested from a remote device and is the Peripheral. Scan Serial Port Profile (Peripheral) and wait for the incoming connection.

•

Bluetooth Keyboard Emulation (HID Peripheral) - Select this host type for Bluetooth Technology Profile Support. (See page 4-6 for Bluetooth Technology Profile Support and Central/Peripheral definitions.) The linear imager scanner connects to the PC/host via Bluetooth and performs like a keyboard. The linear imager scanner accepts incoming connection requested from a remote device and is the peripheral. Scan Bluetooth Keyboard Emulation (HID Peripheral) and wait for the incoming connection.

4 - 4 LI4278 Product Reference Guide

NOTE 1.The linear imager 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 linear imager scanner is paired to the cradle in SPP Central or Cradle Host mode, the linear imager 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 linear imager scanner communicates directly to the host using Bluetooth technology. The linear imager scanner supports the standard Bluetooth Serial Port Profile (SPP) and HID Profiles which enable the linear imager scanner to communicate with other Bluetooth devices that support these profiles.

•

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

•

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

Central/Peripheral Set Up

The linear imager scanner can be set up as a Central or Peripheral.

When the linear imager scanner is set up as a Peripheral, it is discoverable and connectable to other devices. When the linear imager scanner is set up as a Central, 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 4-25 for information about creating a pairing bar code.

Central

When the linear imager scanner is set up as a Central (SPP), it initiates the radio connection to a Peripheral device. Initiating the connection is done by scanning a pairing bar code for the remote device (see Pairing Bar

Code Format on page 4-25).

Peripheral

When the linear imager scanner is set up as a Peripheral device (SPP), the linear imager scanner accepts an incoming connection request from a remote device.

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

Auto-reconnect Feature

When in SPP Central or Cradle Host mode, the linear imager 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 linear imager scanner goes out of range with the remote device, or if the remote device powers down. The linear imager scanner tries to reconnect for the period 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 time-outs, the linear imager 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 linear imager scanner trigger.

If the auto-reconnect process fails because the remote device rejects the connection attempt, the linear imager 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 and LED Definitions on page

2-1.

RADIO COMMUNICATIONS 4 - 15

The linear imager scanner has memory available for storing a remote Bluetooth address for each Central mode (SPP, Cradle). When switching between these modes, the linear imager scanner automatically tries to reconnect to the last device it was connected to in that mode.

NOTE Switching between Bluetooth host types by scanning a host type bar code (page 4-3) causes the radio to

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

4 - 16 LI4278 Product Reference Guide

Reconnect Attempt Beep Feedback

Parameter # 559

When a linear imager scanner disconnects as it goes out of range, it immediately attempts to reconnect. While the linear imager scanner attempts to reconnect, the green LED continues to blink. If the auto-reconnect process fails, the linear imager 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 linear imager scanner emits 5 short high beeps every 5 seconds while the re-connection attempt is in progress.Scan a bar code below to enable or disable Beep on Reconnect Attempt.

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

Parameter # 604

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

•

Auto-reconnect on Bar Code Data: The linear imager scanner auto-reconnects when you scan a bar

code. With this option, a delay can occur when transmitting the first characters. The linear imager 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 linear imager scanner and mobile device. Note that auto-reconnect does not occur on rejection and cable unplug commands.

•

Auto-reconnect Immediately: When the linear imager scanner loses connection, it attempts to

reconnect. If a page timeout occurs, the linear imager scanner attempts reconnect on a trigger pull. Select this option if the linear imager 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.

•

Out of Range Indicator

An out of range indicator can be set by scanning Enable Beep on Reconnect Attempt (1) on page 4-16 and extending the time using the Reconnect Attempt Interval on page 4-17.

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

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

Linear Imager Scanner(s) To Cradle Support

Modes of Operation

Parameter # 538

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

•

Point-to-Point

•

Multipoint-to-Point.

Point-to-Point Communication

In Point-to-Point communication mode, the cradle allows one linear imager scanner to connect to it at a time. In this mode, the linear imager scanner is paired to the cradle either by insertion into the cradle (if pairing on contacts is enabled, page 4-24), or by scanning the PAIR bar code. Communication can be locked, unlocked (default), or in a lock override state (see Pairing Modes on page 4-23). In locked mode, locking intervals must be set by scanning a connection maintenance interval bar code beginning on page 4-25.

RADIO COMMUNICATIONS 4 - 21

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

Multipoint-to-Point Communication

Multipoint-to-Point communication mode allows up to three linear imager scanners to pair to one cradle for the CR0078-S and up to seven linear imager scanners for the CR0078-P.

To activate this mode, the first linear imager scanner connected to the cradle must scan the Multipoint-to-Point bar code. This mode allows a parameter broadcast (page 4-22) feature that forwards parameter bar code settings to all connected linear imager scanners. In this mode, programming one linear imager scanner applies the settings to all connected linear imager scanners.

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

Parameter Broadcast (Cradle Host Only)

Parameter # 148

NOTE When Parameter Broadcast is disabled on one scanner in the piconet, Parameter Broadcast is disabled

on all scanners in the piconet.

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

Pairing

Pairing is the process by which a linear imager scanner initiates communication with a cradle. Scanning Multipoint-to-Point activates multi linear imager scanner-to-cradle operation and allows up to three linear imager scanners to pair to one cradle for the CR0078-S and up to seven linear imager scanners for the CR0078-P.

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

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

2. Do not scan data or parameters until pairing completes.

3. When the linear imager scanner is paired to the cradle in SPP Central or Cradle Host mode, the linear

imager 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.

Pairing Modes

Parameter # 542

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

•

Locked Pairing Mode - When a cradle is paired (connected) to the linear imager scanner (or up to three linear imager scanners for the CR0078-S and up to seven linear imager scanners for the CR0078-P in Multipoint-to-Point mode), any attempt to connect a different linear imager scanner, by either scanning the PAIR bar code on the cradle or by inserting it into the cradle with the pairing on contacts feature enabled (page 4-24), is rejected. The currently connected linear imager scanner(s) maintain connection. In this mode, you must set a Connection Maintenance Interval on page 4-25.

•

Unlocked Pairing Mode

• With the CR0078-S cradle, unlocking works in Point-to-Point mode only. Pair (connect) a new linear imager 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 linear imager scanner from the cradle.

• With the CR0078-P cradle, unlocking works in both Point-to-Point and Multipoint-to-Point modes. Pair (connect) a new linear imager 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.

• In Point-to-Point mode the previous linear imager scanner unpairs from the cradle.

• In Multipoint-to-Point mode, when the eighth scanner tries to connect one of the scanners already

connected disconnects to make room.

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

*Unlocked Pairing Mode

Lock Override

Lock Override overrides a locked linear imager scanner base pairing and connects a new linear imager scanner. In Multipoint-to-Point mode, this unpairs any disconnected (out of range) linear imager scanner first, in order to connect the new linear imager scanner.

4 - 24 LI4278 Product Reference Guide

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

Lock Override

Pairing Methods

Parameter # 545

There are two pairing methods. The default method allows the linear imager scanner and cradle to pair (connect) when the pairing bar code on the cradle is scanned. A second method pairs the linear imager scanner and cradle when the linear imager 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 linear imager 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.

Unpairing

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

An unpairing bar code is also included in the LI4278 Quick Reference Guide.

RADIO COMMUNICATIONS 4 - 25

Paring Bar Code Content:

‘B’ + Bluetooth Address

B112233445566

Pairing Bar Code Format

When the linear imager scanner is configured as an SPP Central, you must create a pairing bar code for the remote Bluetooth device to which the linear imager scanner can connect. The Bluetooth address of the remote device must be known. 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 linear imager scanner can connect has a Bluetooth address of 11:22:33:44:55:66, then the pairing bar code is:

Connection Maintenance Interval

Parameter # 5002

NOTE The Connection Maintenance Interval only applies in locked pairing mode (see page 4-23).

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

To guarantee that a disconnected linear imager scanner can reconnect when it comes back in range, the cradle reserves the connection for that linear imager scanner for a period of time defined by the Connection Maintenance Interval. If the cradle is supporting the maximum three linear imager scanners and one linear imager scanner disconnects, a fourth linear imager scanner cannot pair to the cradle during this interval. To connect another linear imager scanner: either wait until the connection maintenance interval expires then scan the PAI R bar code on the cradle with the new linear imager scanner; or, scan Lock Override (page 4-24) with the new linear imager scanner then scan the PAIR bar code on the cradle.

NOTE When the CR0078-S cradle supports the maximum three linear imager scanners and the CR0078-P

supports the maximum seven linear imager scanners, it stores the remote pairing address of each linear imager scanner in memory regardless of the linear imager scanner condition (e.g., discharged battery). When you want to change the linear imager scanners paired to the cradle, unpair each linear imager scanner currently connected to the cradle by scanning the Unpairing bar code prior and reconnect each appropriate linear imager scanner by scanning the PAIR bar code on the cradle.

Considerations

The system administrator determines the Connection Maintenance Interval. A shorter 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 4-24 to ignore the Connection Maintenance Interval and make the connection immediately available.

Batch Mode

Parameter # 544

IMPORTANTBatch mode does not apply to SPP Peripheral Mode.

The linear imager scanner supports three versions of batch mode. When the linear imager scanner is configured 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 successfully, a good decode beep sounds and the LED flashes green. If the linear imager scanner is unable to store a new bar code, a low/high/low/high out of memory beep sounds. (See pages 2-1 and 2-5 for all beeper and LED definitions.)

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

Number of storable bar codes = 9,000 bytes of memory / (number of characters in the bar code + 3).

NOTE If the batch mode selection is changed while there is batched data, the new batch mode will

take effect only after all the previously batched data is sent

Modes of Operation

•

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

code.

•

Out of Range Batch Mode - The linear imager scanner starts storing bar code data when it loses its

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

•

Standard Batch Mode - The linear imager scanner starts storing bar code data after 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 linear imager scanner starts storing bar code data when Enter Batch Mode is scanned. Data transmission is triggered by insertion of the linear imager scanner into the cradle.

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

the linear imager scanner is re-inserted in the cradle.

In all modes, transmissions are halted if the linear imager scanner is moved out of range. The linear imager 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.

Page Button

Parameter # 746

The CR0078-P cradle offers a page button (see CR0078-P Series Cradle on page 1-6). The page button is a sensor that when touched, causes paired scanners to emit a beeping sequence. The default is Disable Page

Button.

1. Place your finger over the button sensor .

2. Press down for approximately 1 second.

3. The cradle LED will turn blue when the scanner is out of the cradle. The paired scanner will beep five

times. If multiple scanners are paired to the cradle, all the scanners will beep five times.

4. Repeat as necessary.

NOTE Scanners out of radio range will not beep when paged. Refer to Technical Specifications on page 3-9 for

detailed radio range information.

Scan one of the following bar codes to enable or disable this feature.

Bluetooth Security

The linear imager scanner supports Bluetooth Authentication and Encryption. Authentication can be requested by either the remote device or the linear imager scanner. Once Authentication is complete, either device may then negotiate to enable Encryption.

NOTE A remote device can still request Authentication.

Authentication

Parameter # 549

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

PIN Code

Parameter # 552

To set and store a PIN code (e.g., password) on the linear imager scanner to connect to the host:

1. Scan the Set & Store PIN Code bar code below.

2. Scan five alphanumeric programming bar codes using the alphanumeric bar codes beginning on page E-1.

3. Scan End of Message on page E-7.

The default PIN code is 12345.

If the linear imager scanner communicates with a host with security enabled, synchronize the PIN codes on the linear imager scanner and host. To achieve this, connect the linear imager scanner to the host when setting the PIN codes. If the linear imager scanner is not connected to a host, the PIN code change only takes affect on the linear imager scanner. If security is required between the linear imager scanner and host, and the PIN codes do not match, pairing fails.

NOTE An extended 16 character PIN code is available for additional security with Open Bluetooth

(SPP and HID).

Set and Store PIN Code

Variable PIN Code

Parameter # 608

When switching to Cradle Host mode with authentication enabled, scan Static PIN Code below to avoid entering the PIN code manually. The PIN stored in memory is used. Scan the Variable PIN Code below to manually enter a PIN code with each connection.

The default PIN code is the user-programmed PIN set and stored above. 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 linear imager 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 linear imager scanner discards the variable PIN code after connection.
