Bluetooth HID Keyboard Connect
Your scanner can be paired with Bluetooth-capable devices, such as personal com-
puters, laptops, and tablets, so that scanned data appears on your device screen as 
though it was entered on the keyboard. In order to pair with the Bluetooth device: 
1. Scan the appropriate Bluetooth HID Keyboard Connect bar code below. 
2. Set your personal computer, laptop or tablet so it searches for other Bluetooth 
devices. (Refer to your device’s User’s Guide for pairing instructions.) 
3. Select the scanner name on your device. Some devices will automatically pair 
with the scanner. If your device pairs automatically with the scanner, it displays 
a successful pairing message and you do not need to continue to the next step.
4. If your device does not automatically pair with the scanner, a PIN is displayed. 
This PIN must be scanned within 60 seconds. Quickly scan Bluetooth PIN 
Code below, then scan the numeric bar code(s) for the PIN code from the chart 
below, then scan Save.

Virtual Keyboard
Once your scanner has been connected directly to an iPad, smart phone, or laptop, 
you can toggle the virtual keyboard on your device with a quick double pull of the 
scanner trigger. 
Bluetooth HID Keyboard Disconnect
If your scanner has been connected directly to an iPad, smart phone, or laptop 
using Bluetooth HID Keyboard Connect (page 71), you must disconnect it in order 
to once again communicate with the base or Access Point. Scan the Bluetooth HID 
Keyboard Disconnect bar code to unlink the scanner from the currently linked 
host. Scan the linking bar code on the base or Access Point to relink the scanner.

Bluetooth Serial Port - PCs/Laptops
Scanning the Non-Base BT Connection bar code below unlinks your scanner and 
puts it into a discoverable state. Once the scanner searches for and connects with 
a Bluetooth host, the scanner stores the connection to the host device address and 
switches virtual COM ports. This allows the scanner to automatically relink to the 
host if the connection is lost.
PDAs/Mobility Systems Devices
You may also use the scanner with a PDA or a Honeywell Mobility Systems device. 
Scan the bar code below and follow the instructions supplied with your Bluetooth 
device to locate the scanner, and connect with it. 
Change the Scanner’s Bluetooth PIN Code 
Some devices require a PIN code as part of the Bluetooth security features. Your 
scanner’s default PIN is 1234, which you may need to enter the first time you con-
nect to your PDA or PC. The PIN code must be between 1 and 16 characters. To 
change the PIN, scan the bar code below and then scan the appropriate numeric 
bar codes from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 353, then Save.
Minimize Bluetooth/ISM Band Network Activity
The settings described below can help you customize the relinking behavior of the 
cordless area-imaging system to obtain the best compromise between conve-
nience and low interference.
Note:ISM band refers to the 2.4 to 2.48 GHz frequency band used by wireless networks, 
cordless phones, and Bluetooth.

Auto Reconnect Mode
Auto Reconnect controls whether or not the scanner automatically begins the 
relink process when a loss of connection is detected. When the Auto Reconnect On 
bar code is scanned, the scanner begins the relink process immediately, without 
user intervention. Default = Auto Reconnect On.
Note:If you are connecting to a Bluetooth Interface Module, set Auto Reconnect to Off.
The table below shows the results of the Auto Reconnect On and Off settings: 
Maximum Link Attempts
The Maximum Link Attempts setting controls the number of times the scanner 
tries to form a connection with a base or an Access Point. During the connection 
setup process, the scanner transmits in order to search for and connect to a base 
or an Access Point. In order to prevent continuous transmissions that could inter-

must be relinked by either pulling 
the trigger, placing the scanner in 
the base, or scanning the Access

							Xenon/Granit User Guide75 fere with other users of the ISM band, the number of attempts to connect is limited 
by this setting. After the maximum number of attempts is reached, the scanner will 
not attempt to reconnect to a base or an Access Point. Pressing the trigger, scan-
ning an Access Point linking bar code, or placing the scanner in the cradle resets 
the attempt count and the scanner will again try to link. 
Scan the Maximum Link Attempts bar code, then scan the number of attempts for 
the setting (from 0-100) from theProgramming Chart, beginning on page 353, 
then Save. Default = 0.
Note:When Auto Reconnect Mode is On, setting Maximum Link Attempts to zero will cause 
the scanner to try to link until the Power Time-Out Timer setting  expires. When Auto 
Reconnect Mode is Off, setting Maximum Link Attempts to zero will cause the 
scanner to only attempt linking one time after a trigger pull.
Relink Time-Out
Relink Time-Out controls the idle time between relink attempts. An attempt to link 
a scanner to a base or an Access Point typically lasts up to 5 seconds. This is the 
time when the scanner is actually attempting a contact . Relink Time-Out controls 
the amount of time, in seconds, that elapses between the end of one connection 
attempt and the start of the next.
Note:The length of time for an attempt depends on the number of scanners connected to 
a base unit or Access Point. An extra 7 seconds may be required when a connection is 
successful.
Scan the Relink Time-Out bar code, then scan the number of seconds for the set-
ting (from 1-100) from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 353, then 
Save. Default = 3 seconds.

Bluetooth/ISM Network Activity Examples
Default values
When the scanner goes out of range, the scanner repeatedly attempts to connect 
to the base unit or Access Point. Each attempt consists of approximately 5 seconds 
of active time followed by 3 seconds of idle time. After one hour, the scanner pow-
ers off and batch mode data is lost.
Example:Maximum Link Attempts set to 15
Other values at default setting
When the scanner goes out of range, 15 attempts are made to link to the base unit 
or Access Point. Each attempt consists of approximately 5 seconds of active time 
followed by 3 seconds of idle time. After 15 cycles (8*15 =120), or about 2 minutes, 
the scanner stops trying to connect to the base or Access Point, but retains any bar 
codes that may have been saved in batch mode. After one hour, the scanner powers 
off and batch mode data is lost.
Example:Auto Reconnect Mode set to 0
Maximum Link Attempts set to 15
Other values at default setting
When the scanner goes out of range, no action is taken to relink. When  the trigger 
is pulled, 15 attempts are made to link to the base or Access Point. Each attempt 
consists of approximately 5 seconds of active time followed by 3 seconds of idle 
time. After 15 cycles (8*15 =120), or about 2 minutes, the scanner stops trying to 
connect to the base or Access Point, but retains any bar codes that may have been 
saved in batch mode. After one hour, the scanner powers off and batch mode data 
is lost. Refer to Auto Reconnect Mode, page 74, to review other events that can 
start the relink process.
Example:Auto Reconnect Mode set to 1
Maximum Link Attempts set to 0 
Relink Time-Out set to 10
Scanner Power Time-Out Timer set to 1800
Note:See Scanner Power Time-Out Timer on page 58.
The scanner attempts to connect to the base or Access Point every 15 seconds, 
measured from one attempt start to the next attempt start. After one half hour, the 
scanner powers off.
Host Acknowledgment
Some applications require that the host terminal (or server) validate incoming bar 
code data (database look-up) and provide acknowledgment to the scanner 
whether or not to proceed. In Host ACK Mode, the scanner waits for this acknowl-
edgment after each scan. Visual and audible acknowledgments provide valuable  
						

							Xenon/Granit User Guide77 feedback to the scan operator. The Host ACK functionality is controlled via a num-
ber of pre-defined escape commands that are sent to the scanner to make it 
behave in different ways.
Note:System performance degrades when using Host ACK at rates lower than 9600 baud.
The following criteria must be met for the Host ACK to work correctly:
• T h e  c o r d l e s s  s y s t e m  m u s t  b e  c o n f i g u r e d  f o r  H o s t  P o r t  R S 2 3 2  ( t e r m i n a l  I D  =  0 0 0 )   
or USB COM Emulation (terminal ID = 130).
• RTS/CTS is defaulted off. You must enable it if the host system requires it.
• Host ACK must be set to On (page 78). 
• A comma must be used as a terminator.
• The host terminal software must be capable of interpreting the bar code data, 
make decisions based on the data content, and send out appropriate escape 
commands to the scanner.
Escape commands are addressed to the scanner via “Application Work Groups.” 
Once a command is sent, all scanners in a group respond to that command. 
Because of this, it is recommended that each scanner is assigned to its own 
group in Host ACK mode.
The commands to which the scanner responds are listed on page 78. The [ESC] is a 
1B in hex. A typical command string is y [ESC] x, where “y” is the application work 
group number, “[ESC] x” is the escape command, and the comma is the terminator, 
which is required. (When “y” is not specified, the command is sent to the default 
Application Work Group 0.)
Example:Commands may be strung together to create custom response sequences. An 
example of a command string is listed below.
[ESC]4,[ESC]5,[ESC]6,
The above example will make a scanner that is in application work group zero beep 
low, then medium, then high.
Example:A good read beep is required for any item on file, but a razz or error tone is required 
if the item is not on file. In this case,
[ESC]7, is sent from the host to the scanner for an on-file product
[ESC]8,[ESC]8, is sent from the host to the scanner for a not-on-file product
When a bar code is scanned, the scanner enters a timeout period until either the 
host ACK sequence is received, or the timeout expires (in 10 seconds, by default).
Once Host ACK is enabled, the system works as follows when a bar code is 
scanned:
• The scanner reads the code and sends data to the base or Access Point to 
transmit to the host system. No audible or visual indication is emitted until the 
scanner receives an escape command. The scanner read illumination goes out 
when there’s a successful read. 
						

							78Xenon/Granit User Guide • Scanner operation is suspended until 1) a valid escape string is received from 
the host system or 2) the scanner times out.
• Once condition 1 or 2 above has been met, the scanner is ready to scan again, 
and the process repeats.
A time-out occurs if the scanner does not receive a valid escape command within 
10 seconds. A time-out is indicated by an error tone. If a time-out occurs, the oper-
ator should check the host system to understand why a response to the scanner 
was not received.
Host ACK On/Off
Host ACK Timeout
You can set a timeout for the length of time the scanner waits for a valid escape 
command when using Host Acknowledgment Mode. Set the length (in seconds) for 
a timeout by scanning the following bar code, then setting the timeout (from 1-90 
seconds) by scanning digits from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 353, 
then Save. Default = 10.
