Socket ScanAPI Reference
The barcode can be a 2D barcode for a 7Xi scanner only.
Step 2: Discover and pair the scanner from the host.
By using the Bluetooth settings of your host device, discover and pair the
scanner. If a PIN code is request use "0000" (4 zeros) and the pairing should
complete.
For iOS host device this is the final step. The scanner can now be used by the
application using ScanAPI.
Step 3: (For all hosts but iOS devices) Instruct the scanner to connect back to the
host by using Socket EZ Pair application.
Once the scanner is configured correctly, it will always try to reconnect back to
the host each time it is powered on or back in range.
1.1.4 Simplified connection process to any host but iOS devices
There is a simplified process that can be used when the host Bluetooth device
address is known either by printing out barcode or by using 7xi with Socket
EzPair.
This process isn't possible for iOS device as there is no API to retrieve the iOS
Bluetooth address and the iOS devices won't authorize a scanner to connect
and pair unless the Bluetooth Settings page is displayed on the screen.
The following steps for 7Xi series is as simple as scanning a 2D barcode that has
the value: "#FNC SPP INITIATOR xxxxxxxxxxxx#" with xxxxxxxxxxxx replaced by
the host Bluetooth address, or by scanning out of the Socket EZ Pair screen the
2D barcode.
The same principle for 7 P, M and Ci series scanner, by scanning a Code 128
barcode that has the value: "#FNIxxxxxxxxxxxx#" with xxxxxxxxxxxx replaced by
the host Bluetooth address. NOTE the 7 P, M and Ci series scanner shoud be
first and only once set to SPP mode by scanning the "#FNB00F40000#" Code
128 barcode.
1.1.5 Connection Process integration
For the 7P, M and Ci series scanners there are two methods that canbe used to
configure the scanner to be an initiator to the host device:
