1660 Barcode Scanner

3.1 CONFIGURING BLUETOOTH SETTINGS

3.1.1 SNIFF MODE (POWER-SAVING)

This is Bluetooth standard power-saving feature, also known as Sniff mode. When
enabled, the scanner will listen to the piconet at a reduced rate.
Note: By default, power-saving is enabled. When connecting more than two 1660
scanners via the Bluetooth dongle, we suggest you to disable the power-saving
setting for a more reliable connection.

3.1.2 DEVICE NAME BROADCASTING

The scanner can be configured to hide itself from other Bluetooth devices. Simply disable
the device name broadcasting setting so that it won't be discovered by any other
computer or PDA. However, broadcasting must be enabled for establishing an initial
connection with the scanner. For example, you can disable device name broadcasting
after successfully connecting the scanner to WorkStation1. Such connection will be
maintained automatically unless the scanner is removed from the paired device list
(called unpairing) by WorkStation1 or any changes made to authentication and the PIN
code. If you want WorkStation2 to connect to the scanner, you will have to enable device
name broadcasting first.
Note: By default, device name broadcasting is enabled (which is required for initial
connection).
