Honeywell MX7 Tecton, Reference Manual

Page: 28 / 366

Scanner / Imager Port
The MX7 Tecton has one integrated bar code scanner/imager port. Only one scan engine is installed at a time. Scan engines
are not “hot swappable”. The MX7 Tecton may have one of the following bar code decoding engines:
l
Short Range Laser Scanner, SE955I
l
Base Laser Scanner, SE955E
l
Multi-Range "LORAX" Laser, SE1524ER
l
Hand Held Products 2D Area Imager, 5300
l
Honeywell Laser Scanner, N43XX
Note: Your device has an integrated N43XX scan engine if the SPN number on the label on the back of your MX7 Tecton
ends in Rev B. For example, SPN: MX7T9X99X9XX9X Rev B.
Note: Base Laser Scanner, 955E does not support aim mode. Any attempt to adjust the aiming beam using 955E
programming bar codes will fail. The Base Laser scanner does not decode Codablock, Code93i or Telepen
symbologies.
The integrated scan engine activates when the Scan button on the front of the MX7 Tecton is depressed or when the trigger on
an installed trigger handle is depressed. A system applet (Start > Settings > Control Panel > Data Collection) is available to set
scanner/imager options.
Functionality of the integrated scan engine driver is based on the decoder driver version installed in the MX7 Tecton. Functions
may include audible tones on good scan (at the maximum dB supported by the speaker), failed scan, Scan LED indication of a
scan in progress, among other functions. If enabled, a vibration device provides a tactile response on a good scan event.
Bluetooth LXEZ Pairing
The MX7 Tecton contains Bluetooth version 2.1 with Enhanced Data Rate (EDR). Bluetooth device connection (or pairing) can
occur at distances up to 32.8 ft (10 meters) Line of Sight. The wireless client retains network connectivity while Bluetooth is
active.
The user will not be able to select PIN authentication or encryption on connections from the MX7 Tecton. However, the MX7
Tecton supports authentication requests from pairing devices. If a pairing device requests authentication or encryption, the
MX7 Tecton displays a prompt for the PIN or passcode. Maximum encryption is 128 bit. Encryption is based on the length of
the user’s passcode.
Bluetooth devices can be paired and managed using the LXEZ Pairing control panel (Start > Settings > Control Panel >
Bluetooth).
l
The MX7 Tecton does not have a Bluetooth managed LED.
l
The LED on a mobile Bluetooth scanner illuminates during a scanning operation; the Scan LED on the MX7 Tecton does
not illuminate.
l
Bar code data captured by a mobile Bluetooth scanner is manipulated by the settings in the MX7 Tecton Data Collection
panel.
l
Multiple beeps may be heard during a bar code scan using a mobile Bluetooth scanner; beeps from the mobile Bluetooth
scanner as the bar code data is accepted/rejected, and other beeps from the MX7 Tecton during final bar code data
manipulation.
