About Your Scanner  
The IP-BC-BT scanner is a breakthrough in affordable wireless laser  
scanning. The scanner has the scanning performance of more expensive  
laser scanners, the convenience of hand-held portability, and the  
advantage of Bluetooth® wireless technology.

Installing & Replacing Batteries  
Use only Alkaline batteries in your scanner. Be sure to remove the  
batteries from the scanner when storing the scanner for more than 30  
days.  
Installation Steps:  
1. Turn the scanner over so that the back  
faces up.  
2. Remove the battery cover by pressing  
the button at the top of the cover, and  
moving the cover down.  
3. If there are batteries in the scanner,  
remove them.  
4. Insert the new batteries so that the  
positive end (+) is up on the outside  
batteries, and down on the middle  
battery.  
5. Replace the battery cover by inserting  
the tabs at the top of the cover into  
the slots in the back of the scanner.  
Slide the cover up.

Barcodes  
Bar Code Symbologies Supported  
The IP-BC-BT scanner support a number of different bar code symbologies and it can  
return a code indicating the type of symbology that was scanned (either AIM Code or  
NCR Identifier). Different symbologies are often used for different purposes. For  
example, most retail products use a UPC code. The case containing that same product  
probably uses an ITF (Interleaved 2 of 5) bar code. Knowing which type of symbology  
was scanned can be used to determine if the data is from a case or an individual  
product. The Flic supports the following barcode symbologies and options:  
EAN/UPC  
These are the mostly commonly used bar code symbologies. UPC and EAN are used  
to identify nearly all retail products. The Flic supports EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, UPC-E,  
and add-on symbols (both 2 and 5-digit add-ons). The Flic can also combine the add-  
on symbols with the base barcodes.  
CODE 128  
The name CODE 128 derives from its ability to encode 128 different data characters  
at a high density. The Flic supports Function Code 1 and 2 options, but does not  
support the concatenation feature (pad character).  
Code-39  
Code-39, or Code 3 of 9, is used extensively in military and medical applications. The  
Flic supports Code-39 standard and checksum options (including stripping the  
checksum character). Full ASCII conversion and concatenation features are not  
supported.  
ITF (Interleaved 2 of 5)  
ITF is used extensively in warehousing applications and many retail products use ITF  
bar codes on product cases (individual items use UPC but ITF is often used on the  
case). The Flic supports standard and checksum options (including stripping the  
checksum character). Minimum and Maximum decode lengths are also supported.  
Note that Maximum decode length does not provide any additional barcode decoding  
integrity. Full ASCII conversion and concatenation features are not supported.

Scanning Operation  
The IP-BC-BT Cordless Bluetooth® Scanner operates from 3 AAA batteries  
that will supply over 76,000 continuous scans or 100 scans/day for 8  
months (16,000 scans). In order to conserve power the scanner enters  
standby mode after a programmable a connect time of no activity and  
drops the Bluetooth® connection. The default connect time is 60 seconds.  
When scanning, the device wakes up and the Bluetooth® radio enters  
Discovery mode and waits for the host to reconnect. When using the host  
detects the scanner in discovery mode it quickly re-connects and  
transmits the data.  
Proper scanning of barcodes is shown in the figure below. Note that the  
scan beam crosses the width of the barcode.  
Scan beam crosses the width  
of the barcode and extends  
beyond the barcode left and  
right edges.

Setting Up Scanner  
The IP-BC-BT scanner requires Bluetooth® enabled PDA or Smartphone to  
communicate using Bluetooth® technology.  
Depending on your device type the steps for setting up or pairing your  
device to the IP-BC-BT scanner will vary slightly but the overall process  
should be similar to the steps below.  
1. First step is to pair IP-BC-BT to your PDA or Smartphone. This is  
usually done using the device’s Bluetooth® Manager.  
2. When ready, place the scanner in discovery mode by pressing the  
scan button.  
3. On your PDA or Smartphone, select the option to add new  
Bluetooth® devices. The actual command option will depend on  
your device type and could be one of the following:  
a. BlackBerry OS:  
b. Pocket PC OS:  
c. Palm OS:  
[Add Device]  
[Explore a Bluetooth® device]  
[Add Device]  
d. Windows Mobile:  
[New Partnership]  
Or it could be something similar to one of the above options. Refer  
to your device user manual for details on pairing Bluetooth®  
devices.  
4. Select device named “Cordless”.  
5. Use 0000 as the Bluetooth® Passkey when requested.  
6. Save and exit.  
If the steps above have been successful, the scanner and your PDA or  
Smartphone are now paired with each other and ready to use Bluetooth®  
communications.

Developing Solutions  
The IP-BC-BT scanner currently supports Bluetooth® enabled devices  
using SPP Profile (Serial Port Profile). However, software that runs on the  
handset and interacts with the scanner is required to actually scan  
barcodes.  
Integrating the Scanner into your mobile solution requires the use of the  
scanner’s Bluetooth® SDK. The SDK incorporates API specific to  
developing application and integrated the IP-BC-BT barcode scanner into  
your application.  
The table below shows the SDKs currently available for Bluetooth®  
devices.
