1 - 10 DS36X8 Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide
Sending Data to the Host Computer
The cradle receives data from the digital scanner via a wireless radio connection and transmits it to the host
computer via the host cable. The digital 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
STB3678 and FLB3678 operate in two modes: Point-to-Point and Multipoint-to-Point. In Point-to-Point mode, pair
the digital scanner to the cradle either by inserting it in the cradle (if pair on contacts is enabled), or by scanning the
pairing barcode. In Multipoint-to-Point mode, you can pair up to seven scanners to one cradle. To use this feature,
scan the multipoint barcode in Multipoint-to-Point Communication on page 5-34.
To pair the digital scanner with the cradle, scan a pairing barcode. 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.
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 barcode.
Configuring the Scanner
Use the barcodes in this manual or the 123Scan
2
configuration program to configure the digital scanner. See
Chapter 6, User Preferences & Miscellaneous Options and each host chapter for information about programming
the digital scanner using barcode menus. See Chapter 2, 123Scan and Software Tools to configure the digital
scanner using this configuration program. 123Scan
2
includes a help file.
Radio Communications
The digital scanner can communicate with remote devices via Bluetooth, or by pairing with a cradle. For radio
communication parameters, detailed information about operational modes, Bluetooth and pairing, see Chapter 5,
Radio Communications.
NOTE The pairing barcode that connects the digital scanner to a cradle is unique to each cradle.
Do not scan data or parameters until pairing completes.
