Attribute # 2A4h
The MT20X0 supports cable and Bluetooth data paths to send bar code data. Only one data path can be active.
Scanning a parameter below determines the type of host interface to use for bar code data transmission.
•
In Cable Priority mode, the MT20X0 prioritizes a cable (USB or RS-232) as the default data path for
transmitting barcode data. When a cable is not present, the MT20X0 uses the programmed Bluetooth
protocol to transmit the bar code data.
•
In Cable Only mode, the MT20X0 exclusively uses a cable (USB or RS-232) as the data path for transmitting
bar code data. When a cable is not present, a transmission error occurs when scanning a bar code. Cable
Only is not propagated to all connected devices.
NOTE The Bluetooth radio is available for other applications such as BT Explorer.
•
In Wireless Only mode, the MT20X0 exclusively uses the programmed Bluetooth protocol to transmit bar
code data. When the user inserts a cable the MT20X0 continues to use Bluetooth as the bar code data
transmission path.
