Radio Communications Host Types
To set up the digital scanner for communication with a cradle, or to use standard Bluetooth profiles, scan the
appropriate host type bar code below.
• Cradle Host (default) - Select this host type for digital scanner(s) to cradle operation. The digital scanner
must then be paired to the cradle and the cradle communicates directly to the host via the host interface
cable connection.
• Serial Port Profile (Master) - Select this host type for Bluetooth Technology Profile Support (see page
4-6). The digital scanner connects to the PC/host via Bluetooth and performs like there’s a serial
connection. The digital scanner initiates the connection to the remote device and is the Master. Scan
Serial Port Profile (Master), then scan the PAIR bar code for the remote device. See Pairing Bar Code
Format on page 4-25 for information about creating a pairing bar code for a remote device.
• Serial Port Profile (Slave) - Select this host type for Bluetooth Technology Profile Support (see page
4-6). The digital scanner connects to the PC/host via Bluetooth and performs like there’s a serial
connection. The digital scanner accepts incoming connection requested from a remote device and is the
Slave. Scan Serial Port Profile (Slave) and wait for the incoming connection.
• Bluetooth Keyboard Emulation (HID Slave) - Select this host type for Bluetooth Technology Profile
Support. (See page 4-6 for Bluetooth Technology Profile Support and Master/Slave definitions.) The
digital scanner connects to the PC/host via Bluetooth and performs like a keyboard. The digital scanner
accepts incoming connection requested from a remote device and is the slave. Scan Bluetooth
Keyboard Emulation (HID Slave) and wait for the incoming connection.
NOTE 1.The digital scanner supports keyboard emulation over the Bluetooth HID profile. For detailed
information, and HID host parameters, see HID Host Parameters on page 4-10.
2. When the digital scanner is paired to the cradle in SPP Master or Cradle Host mode, the digital scanner
automatically tries to reconnect to a remote device when a disconnection occurs that is due to the radio
losing communication. For more information see Auto-reconnect Feature on page 4-17.
