Sending Data to the Host Computer

The cradle receives data from the scanner via a wireless radio connection and transmits it to the host computer via
the host cable. The scanner and cradle must be paired for successful wireless communication.

Pairing

Pairing registers a scanner to the cradle such that the scanner and cradle can exchange information. The
STB3578 and FLB3578 operate in two modes: Point-to-Point and Multipoint-to-Point. In Point-to-Point mode, pair
the scanner to the cradle either by inserting it in the cradle (if pairing on insertion is enabled), or by scanning the
pairing bar code. In Multipoint-to-Point mode, you can pair up to three scanners to one cradle. To use this feature,
scan the multipoint bar code in
The cradle includes pairing bar codes on both its front and back. To pair the scanner with the cradle, scan a pairing
bar code. A high-low-high-low beep sequence followed by a low-high beep sequence indicates successful pairing
and connection to the remote device. A long low, long high beep sequence indicates unsuccessful pairing.
NOTE The pairing bar code that connects the scanner to a cradle is unique to each cradle.
Do not scan data or parameters until pairing completes.

Lost Connection to Host

If scanned data does not transmit to the cradle's host, ensure that all cables are firmly inserted and the power
supply is connected to an appropriate AC outlet, if applicable. If scanned data still does not transmit to the host,
reestablish a connection with the host:
Disconnect the power supply from the cradle.
1.
Disconnect the host interface cable from the cradle.
2.
Wait three seconds.
3.
Reconnect the host interface cable to the cradle.
4.
Reconnect the power supply to the cradle, if the host requires.
5.
Reestablish pairing with the cradle by scanning the pairing bar code.
6.
