Chapter 1 Introduction

Barcodes, Ring Scanners and Scanner Engines

This guide contains installation instructions and configuration / programming barcodes

specifically designed for the Bluetooth® Ring Scanner and its tethered ring scanner and ring

imager.

LXE barcode decoding laser engines and barcode decoding imager engines are designed to read,

decode and collect barcoded data from any nearby compatible barcode label that is visible and on

printed media.

The Bluetooth Ring Scanner consists of a ring decoder tethered to a sturdy, compact, mobile

Bluetooth module and battery. The module’s lightweight battery provides power to the ring

decoder. The handstrap assembly is designed to be worn on the back of either hand or on either

wrist. The hook and loop fabric on the handstrap enables one-handed installation, adjustment and

removal of the handstrap.

LXE Bluetooth enabled mobile devices can pair with more

than one Bluetooth barcode reader at a time. Note the

Bluetooth enabled mobile device can only manipulate the data

received from one barcode reading device at a time.

See section titled Identify Your Ring Barcode Decoder Type

before scanning any barcode in this programming guide.

Note: The function to use the imager for OCR decoding is

not supported in this release.

When using the ring device to scan the barcodes in this guide,

the user can change scanning parameters for the Bluetooth

Module such as:

• Enable / disable suspend timeout length

• Set the Beeper volume (Bluetooth module only)

• Assign a Friendly Name

• and Restore the Bluetooth Module to factory default settings.

And, for the tethered ring decoder parameters:

• Enable / disable a specific barcode type (UPC/EAN, Code 90, PDF417, and many others)

• Scan beam timing – short, medium, long

• Set barcode type parameters

It is important that the barcodes in this guide to be scanned by any device are the barcodes that

have been designed specifically for the device.

Bluetooth Module – Programming barcodes specifically for the Bluetooth Ring Scanner module

are contained in Chapter 2 Bluetooth Module Programming Barcodes.

Laser Scanner – Programming barcodes for the SE955 scanner engine in the Ring Scanner cabled

to the Bluetooth Ring Scanner, are contained in Chapter 3 SE955 Laser Barcodes.

Ring Decoder Warnings and Labels

• Do not look into the ring scanner/imager aperture.

• Do not stare directly into the ring scanner/imager laser beam.

• Do not remove the laser caution labels from the ring scanner/imager.

• Do not connect the ring decoder aperture to any other device.

Caution:

Laser radiation when open. Please read the caution labels.

Use of controls, adjustments or performance of procedures other than those

specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

Class 2 laser scanners use a low power, visible light diode. As with any very

bright light source, such as the sun, the user should avoid staring directly into

the light beam. Momentary exposure to a Class 2 laser is not known to be

harmful.

Ring Imager / Ring Scanner

The Bluetooth ring scanner can scan and decode 1D barcodes. The Bluetooth ring imager can scan

and decode 1D and 2D barcodes. The type of barcodes scanned successfully depends on the scan

type of the tethered ring device. After pairing with an LXE mobile device, it can then send the

collected barcode data to the specific Bluetooth enabled LXE mobile device for processing.

The ring devices do not have the ability to emit a good read or bad read sound. The Bluetooth

Ring Scanner module emits good read or bad read sounds based on the ring scan results. See

section titled Status LED and Beep Indicators for an explanation of the LED and beep patterns

emitted by these devices.

Note: These ring decoding devices do not have the ability to emit a good read or bad read

sound.

Bluetooth MAC ID Barcode Label

LnkB00440fd01020 - Sample

Figure 1-10 Sample MX8 Bluetooth Address (MAC ID) Barcode Label

Locate the barcode label, similar to the one shown above, attached to the LXE Bluetooth capable

mobile device. It may be on any side of the device.

The label is the Bluetooth address identifier for the LXE Bluetooth capable mobile device. It must

be scanned before LXEZ Pairing connection can occur.

The barcode label on the Bluetooth Ring Scanner module is a barcode and numeric representation

of the MAC ID of the module.

Troubleshooting

The MAC ID barcodes on some LXE Bluetooth capable mobile devices are quite small. If you

are unsuccessful using the ring imager when scanning a MAC ID barcode, change the ring

imager’s default Smart Focus Mode to Near Focus by scanning the Enable Near Focus barcode in

Chapter 4. Ensure focus mode is changed back to the default value of Smart Focus after the MAC

ID barcode read is successful.

Important: The Bluetooth module MAC ID label should remain protected from damage (rips,

tears, spills, soiling, erasure, etc.) at all times.
