Collecting Data With Your SF51

After you connect your SF51 to your host device, you are ready to
start collecting data. The method you use depends on whether
you are using:
an Intermec computer.
•
• a host PC.
• the SF51 as a keyboard wedge.
To collect data with your SF51
1 Establish a Bluetooth connection.
2 Start your data collection application.
3 (Host PC only) Configure your data collection application to
receive data from the incoming or outgoing COM port.
4 Scan a bar code with your SF51. The data is entered into your
application.

Configuring the SF51 Parameters

You can configure many parameters on the SF51, such as the bar
code symbologies it decodes or the volume of the beeper. These
characteristics are controlled by configuration commands. The
values you set for these configuration commands determine how
the scanner operates.
You can configure the SF51:
• using EasySet version 5.4 or later.
• remotely from your Intermec computer.

Configuring the SF51 With EasySet

EasySet is an Intermec configuration application that provides
you with two ways to configure the SF51:
• Send configuration commands directly to the SF51.
• Send configuration commands to a bar code setup sheet. You
can scan the bar codes onscreen with your SF51 or print the
setup sheet and scan the bar codes. You do not need a
Bluetooth connection to use this method.
