Operating Your Tablet Computer
Working With Bluetooth Scanners
Scanner Manager recognizes Bluetooth scanners that are in master mode. This
means that the scanner initiates the connection. In order to do that, it must have
a way to know which unit to connect to.
Scanner manufacturers explain how to proceed to configure and pair their
devices in their documentation. Usually, the user must create a special barcode
based on the Bluetooth MAC address of the computer. Once that barcode has
been generated, it does not change. It can be placed on the M9020, and the
next time any scanner has to be associated with the unit, an operator simply
needs to scan the code and wait the connection to be established automatically.
For DAP and Symbol/Motorola scanners, you can use the Bluetooth Master
Pairing tab in the ScannerManager Bluetooth settings as follows:
Bluetooth Master Configuration When Using BlueSoleil or the Microsoft BT Stack
The Bluetooth Master Configuration dialog box allows the filtering of which
Bluetooth scanner to accept a connection from. With the default values (empty),
the first detected device using the Serial Port Profile (SPP) will be selected. In
most cases, this is correct. If you are using more than one SPP devices, change
the values to select, for example, only scanners from a given model.
