PIN Code

To set the PIN code (e.g., password) on the scanner, scan the bar code below followed by five alphanumeric
programming bar codes from Appendix E, Alphanumeric Bar Codes. The default PIN code is 12345.
If the scanner communicates with a cradle with security enabled, synchronize the PIN codes on the scanner and
cradle. To achieve this, connect the scanner to the cradle when setting the PIN codes. If the scanner is not
connected to a cradle, the PIN code change only takes effect on the scanner. If security is required between the
scanner and cradle, and the PIN codes do not match, pairing fails. If the PIN codes are not synchronized,
re-synchronize them by disabling security, establishing a connection to the cradle, and then programming a new
PIN code.

Variable PIN Code

The default PIN code is the user-programmed Static PIN Code. Typically, however, HID connections require
entering a Variable PIN Code. If, when attempting connection, the application presents a text box that includes a
PIN, scan the Variable PIN Code bar code, then re-attempt connection. When you hear a beep indicating the
scanner is waiting for an alphanumeric entry, enter the provided variable PIN using the Alphanumeric Keyboard on
page E-1, then scan End of Message on page E-7 if the code is less than 16 characters. The scanner discards the
variable PIN code after connection.
