integrated Bluetooth module or is connected with an external Bluetooth USB adapter. A diagram of
Bluetooth functionalities and a table of various Bluetooth profiles are shown below, respectively:

Table 5-1. Various Bluetooth profiles
HID Keyboard
The scanner connects to the PC/host via Bluetooth and behaves like a
keyboard. The scanner accepts incoming connection requested from a
remote device and is the slave.
SPP slave
The scanner connects to the PC/host via Bluetooth and behaves like
there is a serial connection. The scanner accepts incoming connection
requested from a remote device and is the Slave.
SPP master
The scanner connects to the PC/host via Bluetooth and behaves like
there is a serial connection. The scanner initiates the connection to the
remote device and is the Master.
A master SPP mainly differs from a slave one in the process of connection and they are identical in the
process of use in terms of function.
Bluetooth-enabled smart phones and PDAs can host the scanner in general. However, ordinary mobile
phones with Bluetooth function can not be a host of the scanner because in most cases neither HID nor
SPP profile is supported by them.
