6.Bluetooth HID

The 800/850 scanner can be configured to the standard Bluetooth HID as data output interface. This will make the 800/850 scanner sends the scanned barcode data to Bluetooth enabled computer or PDA directly without the base unit (however, a charging dock is still needed for charging the 800/850 battery).

This section illustrates a step-by-step installation and configuration procedures of the 800/850 for Bluetooth HID. Bluetooth transceivers/dongles always come with their own driver or Windows XP with service pack2 provides the build-in Bluetooth driver. There are several Bluetooth device drivers for Windows and WinCE/Pocket PC from different companies. Here we use Window XP with service pack2 build-in Bluetooth driver and WIDCOMM driver as examples. For detail installation procedures, please refer to the user’s manual of the Bluetooth transceiver in use.

NOTE: Bluetooth HID doesn’t support the following functions on PDA:

Capital Lock Setting: Auto Detection

Digit Transmission: Numeric Key

Alt Composing
