RADIO COMMUNICATIONS 4 - 5 Bluetooth Technology Profile Support With Bluetooth Technology Profile Support, the cradle is not required for wireless communication. The linear imager scanner communicates directly to the host using Bluetooth technology. The linear imager scanner supports the standard Bluetooth Serial Port Profile (SPP) and HID Profiles which enable the linear imager scanner to communicate with other Bluetooth devices that support these profiles.
Select General Discoverable Mode when initiating connection from a PC. • Select Limited Discoverable Mode when initiating connection from a mobile device (e.g., Motorola Q), • and the device does not appear in General Discoverable Mode. Note that it can take longer to discover the device in this mode.

RADIO COMMUNICATIONS 4 - 11 HID Ignore Unknown Characters This option applies only to the HID Keyboard Emulation device and IBM device. Unknown characters are characters the host does not recognize. When Send Bar Codes With Unknown Characters is selected, all bar code data is sent except for unknown characters, and no error beeps sound.
4 - 12 LI4278 Product Reference Guide HID Keyboard FN1 Substitution When enabled, this parameter allows replacement of any FN1 character in an EAN128 bar code with a Key Category and value chosen by the user. See to set the Key Category FN1 Substitution Values on page 5-21 and Key Value.
RADIO COMMUNICATIONS 4 - 13 Simulated Caps Lock When enabled, the linear imager scanner inverts upper and lower case characters on the linear imager scanner bar code as if the Caps Lock state is enabled on the keyboard. This inversion is done regardless of the current state of the keyboard Caps Lock state.
4 - 14 LI4278 Product Reference Guide Auto-reconnect Feature When in SPP Master or Cradle Host mode, the linear imager scanner automatically tries to reconnect to a remote device when a disconnection occurs that is due to the radio losing communication. This can happen if the linear imager scanner goes out of range with the remote device, or if the remote device powers down.
RADIO COMMUNICATIONS 4 - 15 Reconnect Attempt Beep Feedback Parameter # 559 When a linear imager scanner disconnects as it goes out of range, it immediately attempts to reconnect. While the linear imager scanner attempts to reconnect, the green LED continues to blink. If the auto-reconnect process fails, the linear imager scanner emits a page timeout beep (long low/long high) and stops blinking the LED.
4 - 16 LI4278 Product Reference Guide Reconnect Attempt Interval Parameter # 558 When a linear imager scanner disconnects as it goes out of range, it immediately attempts to reconnect for the default time interval of 30 seconds. This time interval can be changed to one of the options below.

CHAPTER 6 KEYBOARD WEDGE INTERFACE Introduction This chapter provides instructions for programming the cradle for keyboard wedge host interface, used to connect the cradle between the keyboard and host computer. The linear imager scanner translates the bar code data into keystrokes, and transmits the information to the host computer via the cradle interface. The host computer accepts the keystrokes as if they originated from the keyboard.
6 - 2 LI4278 Product Reference Guide Connecting a Keyboard Wedge Interface NOTE See for information about linear imager scanner/cradle pairing Chapter 4, RADIO COMMUNICATIONS and wireless communication. The linear imager scanner must be connected to the cradle for the host parameter setting to take effect. When the linear imager scanner is not connected to a cradle, and a host parameter bar code is scanned, a long low/long high beep sequence sounds.

CHAPTER 8 USB INTERFACE Introduction This chapter provides instructions for programming the cradle to interface with a USB host. The linear imager scanner cradle connects directly to a USB host, or a powered USB hub. The USB host can power the cradle and recharge the linear imager scanner battery, but this charging method has limitations.
8 - 2 LI4278 Product Reference Guide Connecting a USB Interface NOTE See for information about linear imager scanner/cradle pairing Chapter 4, RADIO COMMUNICATIONS and wireless communication The linear imager scanner must be connected to the cradle for the host parameter setting to take effect.

CHAPTER 12 ADVANCED DATA FORMATTING Introduction Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) is a means of customizing data before transmission to the host device. Scan data can be edited to suit particular requirements. To implement ADF, scan a related series of bar codes, which begin onpage 12-8, which allows programming the linear imager scanner with Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) Rules.
12 - 2 LI4278 Product Reference Guide Using ADF Bar Codes When programming a rule, make sure the rule is logically correct. Plan ahead before scanning. To program each data formatting rule: Start the Rule. Scan • Begin New Rule on page 12-8.

12 - 4 LI4278 Product Reference Guide To implement this, first enter an ADF rule that applies to the normal situation, such as: Scan Rule Belongs to Set 1. When scanning a bar code of length 15, send the next 2 characters, send the class key, send the next 8 characters, send the stock key, send the data that remains, send the Enter key.
ADVANCED DATA FORMATTING 12 - 5 Default Rules Every unit has a default rule to send all scan data. Units with custom software may have one or more default rules burned in. The rules hierarchy checks user programmable rules first, then the default rules. Disable default rules by entering the following general rule in the user programmable buffer: When receiving scan data, send all data.
