Using the 1062 Handscanners with Motorola WT4000

1. Introduction

At a basic level the Handscanner will work like any other barcode scanner. When the button is
pressed the 1-D or 2-D scan engine is triggered. Any barcode data that is decoded is sent over the
Bluetooth link. At the host terminal end this data can appear on a virtual serial port (VCP), or directly if
an application has been coded to work with the Bluetooth Stack. Commands can be sent to the
Handscanner (for example to trigger a read) from the host terminal either on the VCP or directly via
the Bluetooth Stack. In most cases the VCP will be the approach that is used. Section 3 describes
the process of setting up the Virtual COM port on the WT4000.
The data sent to the Virtual COM port can be used by any application. Sections 4 and 5 describe two
Wedge applications that can enable existing applications to work with the Handscanner without
modification. Section 6 covers a range of Frequently Asked Questions relating to the use of the
Handscanner with the WT4000.
