Bluetooth Security

The scanner supports Bluetooth Authentication and Encryption. Authentication can be requested by either the
remote device or the scanner. When Authentication is requested, the scanner uses its programmed PIN code to
generate a link key. The scanner stores this link key upon pairing, so you do not have to re-enter the PIN code
when moving in and out of range, switching profiles, or switching between devices (e .g ., be twe e n th e cra d le an d
the application ).
Once Authentication is complete, either device may then negotiate to enable Encryption.

Authentication

To force Authentication with a remote device (including the cradle), scan the Enable Authentication bar code
below. To prevent the scanner from forcing Authe ntication, scan the Disable Authenti cation bar code below.
NOTE A remote device can still request Authentication.
