Bluetooth Connection

The RS6000 sends decoded bar code data to Zebra mobile computers and other devices using Bluetooth. Before using, connect the RS6000 to a device using Bluetooth. See Bluetooth Communications for configuration.

Getting Started

Scanning

The RS6000 uses digital camera technology to take an image of a bar code and software decoding algorithms are executed to extract the bar code data from the image.

Scan Triggering Modes

Manual Triggering (Triggered models only)

1. Launch a scanning software application on the mobile computer.

2. Position the RS6000 approximately 22.8 cm (9 inches) from a bar code and press the Scan Trigger. Position

the cross hair laser beam to cover the bar code. The RS6000 takes a digital picture (image) of the bar code and stores it in memory for decoding.

The Scan LED flashes green and a high beep sounds indicating that the bar code was properly decoded.

NOTE: In some configurations proper decoding of a bar code is indicated by the software application running on

the mobile computer.

Auto-triggering (Triggerless models only)

The RS6000 is provided with auto-triggering capability. In auto-triggering mode, both motion and proximity sensors are used to trigger the RS6000 when the user intends to scan a bar code.

With auto-triggering activated, the RS6000 automatically scans when motion stops and a bar code is placed within the detection field of the proximity sensor on the RS6000. The RS6000 scans the bar code and then switches to low power mode to conserve power.

To scan a bar code in auto-triggering mode:

1. Launch a scanning software application on the mobile computer.

Getting Started

2. Position the RS6000 approximately 22.8 cm (9 inches) from a bar code. Aim the cross hair laser beam to cover

the bar code. The RS6000 takes a digital picture (image) of the bar code and stores it in memory for decoding.

The Scan LED flashes green and a high beep sounds indicating that the bar code was properly decoded.

NOTE: By default the proximity sensor is configured for medium range of up to 40.6 cm (16 inches). The range

can be adjusted for short or long range scanning, depending on the scanning application. See page 109.

Aiming the RS6000

The aiming pattern of the RS6000 is a cross hair laser beam with bright center dot (see Figure 7). The virtual rectangle made by the cross hair reflects the field of view of the RS6000. The aiming pattern is used to position the bar code within the field of view.

Figure 7 Cross Hair Laser Beam

Enter the symbol in any orientation within the virtual rectangle made by the cross hair laser beam, making use of its omnidirectional reading capability within the entire field of view.

Figure 8 Bar Code Scan Orientation

The RS6000 can also read a bar code presented within the aiming pattern but not centered (see the top bar codes on Figure 9). The bar codes marked with X in Figure 9, however, show bar code aiming that may result in no decode.

When using the application on your mobile computer in “Pick List” mode, the Bright Center Dot can be positioned anywhere on the symbol (see Figure 7). The top examples in Figure 9 show acceptable aiming options, while the bottom examples can not be decoded.

Getting Started

012345

Figure 9 Acceptable Aiming Options

The aiming pattern is smaller when the RS6000 is closer to the symbol and larger when it is farther from the bar code. Scan bar codes with smaller bars or elements (mil size) closer to the RS6000 and those with larger bars or elements (mil size) farther from the RS6000.

1. Position the RS6000 between two and eleven inches from the bar code (depending on the bar code density).

NOTE: When a bar code is under transparent plastic or on a mobile computer screen, it is recommended to use

a tilt (pitch) or skew scan angle to minimize reflection.

2. Aim the cross hair laser beam to cover the bar code. The RS6000 takes a digital picture (image) of the bar

code and stores it in memory for decoding.

The Scan LED flashes green and a high beep sounds indicating that the bar code was properly decoded.

Resetting the RS6000

If the RS6000 stops responding to input, reset it. There are three reset functions, warm boot, cold boot and clean boot. Perform a warm boot first. If the RS6000 still does not respond, perform a cold boot. Perform clean boot to restore the RS6000 to its factory default configuration.

Warm Boot

To perform warm boot, press and hold the Restore Key for more than three seconds and then release. The RS6000 resets when the key is released.

Cold Boot

Cold boot restores the RS6000 operation by performing a power cycle of the device. To perform cold boot, remove and re-insert the battery into the RS6000.

Clean Boot

Clean Boot restores the RS6000 to its factory default configuration.

To perform clean boot:

1. Remove battery.

Getting Started

2. Press and hold the Restore Key.

3. Insert the battery into the RS6000.

4. Continue to press and hold the Restore Key for about five seconds until a chirp is heard and the Scan LEDs

flash green. The RS6000 is now in its factory default configuration.

NOTE: The factory default configuration is set in the factory or the service center. These parameters are unique

for each RS6000 and cannot be changed. The Factory default configuration includes: RS6000 serial number,

Bluetooth Device (BD) address, model number, production date and proximity calibration.

Configuration parameters modified on the RS6000 reset to factory defaults after a clean boot.

Introduction

This chapter provides information about the modes of operation and features available for wireless communication between the RS6000 and hosts. The chapter also includes the parameters necessary to configure the RS6000.

The RS6000 ships with the settings shown in the Bluetooth Communication Defaults on page 28 (also see

Standard Default Parameters for all host device and miscellaneous RS6000 defaults). If the default values suit user

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 RS6000 is powered down.

To return all features to default values, scan a default bar code in Default Parameters on page 115. Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks (

*).

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.

Bluetooth Status Indications

When the RS6000 is pairing or re-establishing a connection to a computer, it issues various beep sequences indicating successful or unsuccessful operations. See Table 2 on page 19 for all beep sequences and LED displays including those which occur during pairing operations.

Bluetooth Connection Modes

The RS6000 can connect to a host computer using the following Bluetooth modes:

• Human Interface Device (HID)

• Simple Serial Interface (SSI)

• Serial Port Profile (SPP).

Keyboard Emulation

The Bluetooth Human Interface Device (HID) profile enables the RS6000 to emulate a Bluetooth keyboard input device and connect to a host computer. The RS6000 supports two versions of the Bluetooth HID profile.

Bluetooth Communications

HID Bluetooth Classic

Enables the RS6000 to communicate using Bluetooth HID profile to a host computer through Bluetooth Classic radio. The RS6000 is capable of operating in Slave (discoverable) or Master mode.

HID Bluetooth Low Energy (Discoverable)

Enables the RS6000 to communicate using Bluetooth HID profile to a host computer through Bluetooth Low Energy radio. The RS6000 operates in Slave (discoverable) mode when BT HID Low Energy is enabled.

Low Energy (LE) Bluetooth has a smaller RF footprint (bandwidth) than Classic Bluetooth. The smaller RF footprint of LE Bluetooth significantly improves Wi-Fi co-existence. Due to its smaller RF bandwidth, LE Bluetooth is up to seven times slower than Classic Bluetooth (0.27 Mbps versus 0.7-2.1 Mbps). Data intensive activities such as firmware updates, can take significantly longer.

NOTE: Not all host devices support Bluetooth Low Energy. Verify that your device supports Bluetooth Low

Energy mode before attempting to connect to the RS6000.

Bar Codes on page 323. Incorrect scanned entries can be deleted by scanning Cancel on page 324.

For more information, see Variable PIN Code on page 59.

HID Bluetooth Connection to Windows 7 or 8

NOTE: For best user experience, it is recommend using Secure Simple Pairing (SSP). Windows 7 SP1 supports

Bluetooth 2.1 and as such, supports SSP. SSP reduces the number of steps to minimal or none when compared to legacy Bluetooth pairing.

If the host computer does not include an integrated Bluetooth module, use a USB Bluetooth dongle. Use off-the-shelf dongle that supports Bluetooth v2.1 for effortless pairing in SSP.

To pair and connect the RS6000:

1. Perform clean boot. See Clean Boot on page 25

2. Scan the HID Bluetooth Classic bar code from page 30.

3. Perform a Cold Boot by removing and re-installing the battery onto the RS6000. The RS6000 starts to operate

Serial Port Profile

The RS6000 can connect to a host computer or other device that supports Bluetooth Serial Port Profile (SPP). Use Bluetooth SPP when connecting to a host computer, tablet, or phone in one of the following modes:

• Master - The RS6000 initiates the connection. When configured as SPP Master, that RS6000 is

non-discoverable and typically connects to a host using a pairing bar code. Scan the SPP Bluetooth

Classic (Non-Discoverable) bar code to set the RS6000 to this mode.

• Slave - The host computer or device discovers the RS6000 and initiates the connection. When the

RS6000 is configured as SPP Slave, it is in discoverable mode. Scan the Bluetooth Classic

(Discoverable) bar code to set the RS6000 to this mode.

Bluetooth Security

The RS6000 supports Bluetooth authentication. Authentication can be requested by either the remote device or the RS6000.

NOTE: A remote device can still request authentication.

PIN Code

Parameter # 552

NOTE: The default PIN code is 12345.

To set and store a PIN code (e.g., password) on the RS6000 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 323.

3. Scan End of Message on page 331.

If the RS6000 communicates with a remote device with security enabled, synchronize the PIN codes on the RS6000 and remote device. To achieve this, connect the RS6000 to the host when setting the PIN codes. If the RS6000 is not connected to a host, the PIN code change only takes affect on the RS6000.

Wi-Fi Friendly Mode

Scanners configured for Wi-Fi friendly mode behave as follows:

• The RS6000 remains in sniff mode, and exits sniff mode only during firmware update.

• If any Wi-Fi channel is excluded from the hopping sequence, AFH turns off.

• RS6000 avoid the selected Wi-Fi channels after establishing connection.

Notes

• If using this feature, configure all RS6000 in the area for Wi-Fi friendly mode.

• By default, no Wi-Fi channels are excluded.

• Since Bluetooth requires a minimum of 20 channels when Wi-Fi channels 1, 6, and 11 are excluded,

a smaller number of channels are cut from the hopping sequence.

• Updating Wi-Fi friendly settings before Bluetooth connection is recommended.

Reconnecting

When in SPP Master, SSI Bluetooth Classic, and Bluetooth HID, the RS6000 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 RS6000 goes out of range with the remote device, or if the remote device powers down. The RS6000 initiates auto-reconnect based the Auto-Reconnect setting. The duration of the auto-reconnect attempt is specified by the Reconnect Attempt Interval setting. During reconnection, the Status LED blinks blue.

If the auto-reconnect process fails due to:

• Page Time-Outs - The RS6000 sounds a page timeout beep (long low/long high) and enters low power

mode.

• Connection Attempt Rejected - The RS6000 sounds a connection reject beep sequence (see Status LED

Indications on page 19) and enters low power mode.

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.

Switching between Bluetooth host types by scanning a host type bar code causes the radio to be reset. Scanning

is disabled during this time. It takes several seconds for the RS6000 to re-initialize the radio at which time

scanning is enabled.

Restore Lost Bluetooth Connection

If the auto-reconnect process fails and times out, the Bluetooth connection is re-established as follows:

1. Ensure that the RS6000 is within a range of 10 meters (30 feet) from the mobile computer.

2. Ensure that the mobile computer is on and “awake” (not in Suspend mode).

3. Briefly press the Restore Key on the RS6000 to initiate the reconnect process.

4. The Status LED starts flashing blue indicating that the RS6000 is attempting to establish connection with a

mobile computer. The Status LED turns off and the RS6000 emits one string of low/high beeps indicating that the RS6000 is connected and ready for scanning.

Reconnect Attempt Beep Feedback

Parameter # 559

When the RS6000 disconnects as it goes out of range, it immediately attempts to reconnect. While the RS6000 attempts to reconnect, the Status LED continues to blink blue. If the auto-reconnect process fails, the RS6000 emits a page timeout beep (long low/long high) and the Status LED stops blinking. The process can be restarted by pulling the trigger or pressing the restore key.

The Beep on Reconnect Attempt feature is disabled by default. When enabled, the RS6000 emits five short high beeps every five seconds while the re-connection attempt is in progress. Scan a bar code below to enable or disable Beep on Reconnect Attempt.

Parameter # 604

In Bluetooth Keyboard Emulation (HID) mode, SPP Master, and SSI Bluetooth Classic, select a re-connect option for when the RS6000 loses its connection with a remote device:

• Auto-reconnect on Bar Code Data: The RS6000 auto-reconnects when you scan a bar code. With this

option, a delay can occur when transmitting the first characters. The RS6000 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 RS6000 and mobile device. Note that auto-reconnect does

not occur on rejection commands.

• Auto-reconnect Immediately: When the RS6000 loses connection, it attempts to reconnect. If a page

timeout occurs, the RS6000 attempts reconnect by pulling the trigger or pressing the restore key. Select

this option if the RS6000 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 commands.

• Disable Auto-reconnect: When the RS6000 loses connection, you must re-establish it manually.

Pairing Bar Code Format

When pairing the RS6000 to certain host devices in SSI Bluetooth Classic, SPP Bluetooth Master or Bluetooth HID, it is necessary to create a pairing bar code. The RS6000 scans the pairing bar code and initiates the connection to the host computer. To create a pairing bar code label, the Bluetooth address of the remote device must be known (refer to the mobile computer user guide).

Pairing bar codes are Code 128 or Data Matrix symbologies 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 mobile computer Bluetooth address is 11:22:33:44:55:66, then the pairing bar code is:

Batch Mode

Parameter # 544

IMPORTANT: Batch mode only applies for HID and SPP Master Mode.

The RS6000 supports five versions of batch mode. When the RS6000 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 RS6000 is unable to store a new bar code, a low/high/low/high out of memory beep sounds. (See page 19 for all beeper and LED definitions.)

In all modes, calculate the amount of data (number of bar codes) the RS6000 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 takes

effect only after all the previously batched data is sent

Modes of Operation

• Normal (default) - Do not batch data. The RS6000 attempts to transmit every scanned bar code.

• Out of Range Batch Mode - The RS6000 starts storing bar code data when it loses its connection to a

remote device (for example, when a user holding the RS6000 walks out of range). Data transmission is

triggered by re-establishing the connection with the remote device (for example, when a user holding the

RS6000 walks back into range).

• Standard Batch Mode - The RS6000 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.

In all modes, transmissions are halted if the RS6000 is moved out of range. The RS6000 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.

State Indication

Off The battery is not charging. The battery is not inserted correctly in the cradle or

connected to a power source. Cradle is not powered.

Solid Amber Battery is charging.

Solid Green Battery charging is complete.

Fast Blinking Red (2 blinks/second)

Solid Red Unhealthy battery is charging or fully charged.

Charge batteries in temperatures from 0 °C to 40 °C (32 °F to 104 °F). The device and cradle monitor the battery temperature. Battery charging is only performed when the battery is within safe charging temperature limits. At higher temperatures (e.g. approximately +35 °C (+95 °F)) the device or charging cradle may for small periods of time alternately enable and disable battery charging to keep the battery at acceptable temperatures. This process may require additional time to complete a full charge cycle. The cradle indicates when charging is disabled due to abnormal temperatures via the Status LED.

Charging error, e.g.:

- Temperature is too low or too high.

- Charging has gone on too long without completion (typically eight hours).
