Bluetooth HID
The Xi3000-BT scanner can be configured to the standard Bluetooth HID as data
output interface. This will make the Xi3000-BT scanner sends the scanned barcode
data to Bluetooth enabled computer or PDA directly without the Xi3000-
BTSTAND (however, a charging dock is still needed for charging the Xi3000-BT
battery).
This section illustrates a step-by-step installation and configuration procedures of
the Xi3000-BT 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

Configuring Xi3000-BT
Before starting the configuration, the scanner must be powered up. If you have not
done so, please follow the procedures described in section 2.2 “Power Up the
Xi3000-BT” to power up the scanner.
First step of the configuration is always to put the scanner in configuration mode
by scanning the “Enter Setup” barcode. After all the desired configurations are
done, the “Update” barcode must be scanned to save the new settings and put the
scanner back to normal operation mode.
