Bluetooth Bar Code Reader Setup

Please refer to the Bluetooth scanner manufacturer’s User Guide; it may be available on the manufacturer’s web site. Contact Technical Assistance (page 11-1)for Bluetooth product assistance.

Several different types of bar code readers are supported. This section describes the interaction and setup for a mobile Bluetooth laser scanner or laser imager connected to the Thor VM1 using Bluetooth functions.

Prerequisites

•If the Thor VM1 has a Bluetooth address identifier bar code label affixed, then Bluetooth hardware and software is installed.

•The mobile Bluetooth laser scanner / laser imager battery is fully charged.

•The Thor VM1 is connected to AC or DC (vehicle) power.

•Important: The bar code numbering examples in this segment are not real and should not be created nor scanned with a Bluetooth scanner.

•To open theEZPair program, tap Start > Settings > Control Panel > Bluetooth or tap the Bluetooth icon on the desktop or tap the Bluetooth icon in the taskbar.

Locate the bar code label, similar to the one shown above, attached to the Thor VM1. The label is the Bluetooth address identifier for the Thor VM1.

The mobile Bluetooth scanner / imager requires this information before discovering, pairing, connecting or disconnecting can occur.
