Argox AS-8520 Quick Reference Manual

Quick Reference Guide
Connecting Argox Cordless Scanner with Your
Smart Devices
Bluetooth HID
Argox offers additional connection solution with the AS-8020CL and AS-8520
cordless imagers. The new Bluetooth HID feature for these two models provides the
ability to connect other Bluetooth devices, for example, smartphones, tablet PCs,
iPod, iPhone, iPad,... which require HID protocol to pair with. This feature resolves
the previous problem that AS-8020CL and AS-8520 can only connect with other
devices via the SPP protocol.
AS-8020CL
The Bluetooth HID only applies to these models:
Model Phase-in S/N
AS-8520 40950119
AS-8020 CL 40758535

Note: Even though the user owns the mobile device with one of the above
said OSs, it may still fail to connect with new AS-8520 and AS-8020CL
because the mobile device does not support HID connectivity in their
official released firmware.
