Connecting to the Bluetooth Modem via RS-232
RF Two-Way is the mode used when communicating with the Bluetooth modem in RS-232.
It is used when there is a need for bidirectional communication between the imager and an
application by radio frequency (i.e. Time Stamp, Error Checking, Shared Access, etc.). The
imager receives confirmation via packet protocol verification and is 100% reliable.
To connect to the Bluetooth modem:
1. Read the RF Two-Way Mode symbol at right.
2. Read the Quick Connect Symbol located on the TOP of
your connected Bluetooth modem to establish communications.
3. Read the Save Settings symbol.

Disconnect
You may force disconnection by reading the Disconnect symbol
(in a Primary/Secondary Bluetooth connection, the imager may
not appear disconnected for 10 to 15 seconds after the command
is sent). The imager will also disconnect (go into Sleep Mode)
after a period of inactivity (see
Auto-Connect
After coming out of Sleep Mode or after powering-on, the imager tries to auto-connect with
the last host modem it had been connected with.
If Auto-Connect is enabled, the imager will connect to the host whenever it has data and
the imager is idle (but not asleep).
Auto-Connect (Default)
This allows connected
imagers to send data
whenever it is read.
Important: One-Way Mode is not supported by the Microscan Bluetooth modem. One-Way
Mode is supported by most other Bluetooth modems (Belkin, for example).
