Introduction to installation 2-1 Installing a USB HID keyboard wired scanner Note: The default interface of the scanner is Bluetooth. Please change the Data Transfer to USB HID 3-4-2 USB HID Keyboard Keyboard Mode (See Refer to Figure 2-1, plug one end of the USB cable to the scanner. Plug the other end into the USB port of the computer.
Operations of the scanner Note: 1. Please establish a Bluetooth in the range of the network before the first time of scanning barcodes. 2. The scanner can perform a barcode scan operation even though no Bluetooth network is available. However, the scanner may react in a way that differs from what is described here if no Bluetooth is working.
stop scanning. The light source of scanner stops scanning when there is a successful reading or no code is decoded after the Stand-by duration elapsed. Continuous - The scanner always keeps scanning, and it does not matter when the trigger button is released or duration is elapsed.

Data Transfer - Bluetooth Step 2: Scan the Bluetooth-HID barcode below. Bluetooth-HID Step 3: When a device that supports Bluetooth 4.0 is connected to the scanner, the LED on the top of the scanner will remain blue and the device will receive incoming data from the scanner. 3-4-1-2 Configure Bluetooth SPP profile communication Step 1: Scan the barcode below to setting bluetooth profile for data transfer.
Data Transfer - Bluetooth Step 2: Scan the Bluetooth-BA2110 barcode below. Bluetooth - BA2110 Step 3: Plug a BA2110 into the USB port of the computer Step 4: Scan the barcode on the back of BA2110. Step 5: When the scanner pairs with BA2110,the LED on the top of the scanner will remain blue and the device will receive incoming data from the scanner.
Send batch data - Data transmission is triggered by this menu command. Before undertaking this operation, make sure a communication link (Bluetooth network or USB cable) is working. Interfaces - There are three types of communication interfaces Bluetooth, USB HID keyboard and USB 3-4-1 Bluetooth virtual COM.
