PIN Code
To set the PIN code (e.g., password) on the digital scanner, scan the bar code below followed by five alphanumeric
programming bar codes (see Appendix E, Alphanumeric Bar Codes. The default PIN code is 12345.
If the digital scanner communicates with a cradle with security enabled, synchronize the PIN codes on the digital
scanner and cradle. To achieve this, connect the digital scanner to the cradle when setting the PIN codes. If the
digital scanner is not connected to a cradle, the PIN code change only takes affect on the digital scanner. If security
is required between the digital 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
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
digital scanner is waiting for an alphanumeric entry, enter the provided variable PIN using the Alphanumeric Bar
Codes on page E-1, then scan End of Message on page E-7 if the code is less than 16 characters. The digital
scanner discards the variable PIN code after connection.
