2.3.1. Bluetooth address
To enable the Bluetooth reader to communicate
to another Bluetooth device, the Bluetooth
address of that device must be configured in
the reader.
The Bluetooth address can be found on the
other device. Mostly it is displayed on the
product label as a 12 digits number or a
number with 6 hex digit pairs.

• step 2 - set the reader to connect directly to a
computer
• step 3 - set the MAC address of the dongle in
the reader

module
