Operational Modes
The device with an integrated imager supports the following modes of operation, listed below. Activate
each mode by pressing the Scan button.
• Decode Mode: In this mode, the device attempts to locate and decode enabled barcodes within its field
of view. The imager remains in this mode as long as the user holds the scan button, or until it decodes
a barcode.
NOTE: To enable Pick List Mode, configure in DataWedge or set in an application using a API command.
• Pick List Mode: This mode allows the user to selectively decode a barcode when more than one
barcode is in the device’s field of view. To accomplish this, move the aiming crosshair or dot over the
required barcode to decode only this barcode. This feature is ideal for pick lists containing multiple
barcodes and manufacturing or transport labels containing more than one barcode type (either 1D or
2D).
NextGen Simulscan
NextGen SimulScan consists of major SimulScan capabilities migrated to the internal scanning framework
accessible through DataWedge and DataWedge intent APIs. These capabilities are supported on certain
Bluetooth scanners and all Zebra devices with built-in imager and/or camera running Android 8.x Oreo and
higher. For Zebra Professional-series devices, such as MC20, NextGen SimulScan requires a Mobility
DNA Enterprise license. NextGen SimulScan features (formerly part of SimulScan) are:
Data Capture
• MultiBarcode - acquire multiple, unique barcodes in a single scan session and deliver scanned data
either immediately or after the specified number of barcodes per scan is reached. Options currently
available:
• Number of barcodes per scan - set a fixed quantity of barcodes to scan.
• Instant Reporting - instantaneously report unique barcodes within a scanning session. (Must not be
confused with DataWedge Reporting that is deprecated.)
• Report decoded barcodes - report decoded barcodes in a single scan session.
• Document Capture - retrieve barcode data from documents, and/or capture partial or entire images of
documents based on a Document Capture/NextGen SimulScan template. Contact your local Zebra
sales representative for assistance to create a Document Capture/NextGen SimulScan template.
• OCR - OCR was not migrated from legacy SimulScan and is not supported in NextGen SimulScan.

Scanning Considerations
Typically, scanning is a simple matter of aim, scan, and decode, with a few quick trial efforts to master it.
However, consider the following to optimize scanning performance:
• Range: Scanners decode best over a particular working range — minimum and maximum distances
from the barcode. This range varies according to barcode density and scanning device optics. Scan
within range for quick and constant decodes; scanning too close or too far away prevents decodes.
Move the scanner closer and further away to find the right working range for the barcodes being
scanned.
• Angle: Scanning angle is important for quick decodes. When the illumination/flash reflects directly back
into the imager, the specular reflection can blind/saturate the imager. To avoid this, scan the barcode
so that the beam does not bounce directly back. Do not scan at too sharp an angle; the scanner needs
to collect scattered reflections from the scan to make a successful decode. Practice quickly shows what
tolerances to work within.
• Hold the device farther away for larger symbols.
• Move the device closer for symbols with bars that are close together.
NOTE: Scanning procedures depend on the app and device configuration. An app may use different
scanning procedures from the one listed above.
Scanning with Internal Imager
To read a barcode, a scan-enabled app is required. The device contains the DataWedge app that allows
the user to enable the imager, decode the barcode data, and display the barcode content.
To scan with the internal imager:
1. Ensure that an app is open on the device and a text field is in focus (text cursor in text field).
2. Point the exit window at the desired barcode.

Configuring for a Proxy Server
A proxy server is a server that acts as an intermediary for requests from clients seeking resources from
other servers. A client connects to the proxy server and requests some service, such as a file, connection,
web page, or other resource, available from a different server. The proxy server evaluates the request
according to its filtering rules. For example, it may filter traffic by IP address or protocol. If the request is
validated by the filter, the proxy provides the resource by connecting to the relevant server and requesting
the service on behalf of the client.
It is important for enterprise customers to be able to set up secure computing environments within their
companies, making proxy configuration essential. Proxy configuration acts as a security barrier ensuring
that the proxy server monitors all traffic between the Internet and the intranet. This is normally an integral
part of security enforcement in corporate firewalls within intranets.

Bluetooth
Bluetooth devices can communicate without wires, using frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS)
radio frequency (RF) to transmit and receive data in the 2.4 GHz Industry Scientific and Medical (ISM)
band (802.15.1). Bluetooth wireless technology is specifically designed for short-range (10 m (32.8 ft))
communication and low power consumption.
Devices with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information (for example, files, appointments, and tasks)
with other Bluetooth enabled devices such as printers, access points, and other mobile devices.
The device supports Bluetooth Low Energy. Bluetooth Low Energy is targeted at applications in the
healthcare, fitness, security, and home entertainment industries. It provides reduced power consumption
and cost while maintaining standard Bluetooth range.
Adaptive Frequency Hopping
Wireless
Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH) is a method of avoiding fixed frequency interferers, and can be used
with Bluetooth voice. All devices in the piconet (Bluetooth network) must be AFH-capable in order for AFH
to work. There is no AFH when connecting and discovering devices. Avoid making Bluetooth connections
and discoveries during critical 802.11b communications. AFH for Bluetooth consists of four main sections:
• Channel Classification - A method of detecting an interference on a channel-by-channel basis, or
pre-defined channel mask.
• Link Management - Coordinates and distributes the AFH information to the rest of the Bluetooth
network.
• Hop Sequence Modification - Avoids interference by selectively reducing the number of hopping
channels.
• Channel Maintenance - A method for periodically re-evaluating the channels.
When AFH is enabled, the Bluetooth radio “hops around” (instead of through) the 802.11b high-rate
channels. AFH coexistence allows enterprise devices to operate in any infrastructure.
The Bluetooth radio in this device operates as a Class 1 device power class. The maximum output power
is 4.5 mW and the expected range is 100 m. A definition of ranges based on power class is difficult to
obtain due to power and device differences, and whether in open space or closed office space.
NOTE: It is not recommended to perform Bluetooth wireless technology inquiry when high rate 802.11b
operation is required.
Security
The current Bluetooth specification defines security at the link level. Application-level security is not
specified. This allows application developers to define security mechanisms tailored to their specific need.
Link-level security occurs between devices, not users, while application-level security can be implemented
on a per-user basis. The Bluetooth specification defines security algorithms and procedures required to
authenticate devices, and if needed, encrypt the data flowing on the link between the devices. Device
authentication is a mandatory feature of Bluetooth while link encryption is optional.
83
Pairing of Bluetooth devices is accomplished by creating an initialization key used to authenticate the
devices and create a link key for them. Entering a common personal identification number (PIN) in the
devices being paired generates the initialization key. The PIN is never sent over the air. By default, the
Bluetooth stack responds with no key when a key is requested (it is up to user to respond to the key
request event). Authentication of Bluetooth devices is based-upon a challenge-response transaction.
Bluetooth allows for a PIN or passkey used to create other 128-bit keys used for security and encryption.
The encryption key is derived from the link key used to authenticate the pairing devices. Also worthy of
note is the limited range and fast frequency hopping of the Bluetooth radios that makes long-distance
eavesdropping difficult.
Recommendations are:
• Perform pairing in a secure environment
• Keep PIN codes private and do not store the PIN codes in the device
• Implement application-level security.

between a reader and a contactless smartcard and FeliCa. The technology is based on ISO/IEC 14443
type A and B (proximity) ISO/IEC 15693 (vicinity) standards, using the HF 13.56 MHz unlicensed band.
The device supports the following operating modes:
• Reader mode
• Card Emulation mode.
Using NFC, the device can:
• Read contactless cards such as contactless tickets, ID cards and ePassport.
• Read and write information to contactless cards such as SmartPosters and tickets, as well as devices
with NFC interface such as vending machines.
• Read information from supported medical sensors.
• Pair with supported Bluetooth devices such as printers, ring scanners (ex. RS6000), and headsets (ex.
HS3100).
• Emulate contactless card such as ticket, or access control.
