When Send Bar Codes With Unknown Characters is scanned, all bar code data is sent except for unknown characters, and no error beeps sound. When Do Not Send Bar Codes With Unknown Characters is scanned, bar codes containing at least one unknown character are not sent to the host, and an error beep sounds.
Page 57: Hid Keyboard Fn1 Substitution
Radio Communications 4 - 13 HID Keyboard FN1 Substitution When enabled, this parameter allows replacement of any FN1 character in an EAN128 bar code with a Key Category and value chosen by the user. See FN1 Substitution Values on page 5-15 to set the Key Category and Key Value.

Page 59: Auto-Reconnect Feature
Radio Communications 4 - 15 Auto-reconnect Feature When in SPP Master or Cradle Host mode, the scanner automatically tries to reconnect to a remote device when a disconnection occurs that is due to the radio losing communication. This can happen if the scanner goes out of range with the remote device, or if the remote device powers down.

With this option, a delay can occur when transmitting the first characters.
Page 63: Out Of Range Indicator
Radio Communications 4 - 19 Out of Range Indicator An out of range indicator can be set by scanning Enable Beep on Reconnect Attempt on page 4-15 and extending the time using the Reconnect Attempt Interval on page 4-16. For example, with Beep on Reconnect Attempt disabled while the scanner loses radio connection when it is taken out of range, the scanner attempts to reconnect silently during the time interval set by scanning a Reconnect Attempt Interval.

Radio Communications 4 - 27 Bluetooth Security The scanner supports Bluetooth Authentication and Encryption. Authentication can be requested by either the remote device or the scanner. When Authentication is requested, the scanner uses its programmed PIN code to generate a link key. The scanner stores this link key upon pairing, so you do not have to re-enter the PIN code when moving in and out of range, switching profiles, or switching between devices (e.g., between the cradle and the application).
