Replace the Config.INI Please download the following file
(Right click and "save as"):
Config.INI Please copy it to the device and replace the existing .After restart of the device the Pick List Mode is now turned off. 2. Manually change the config file:
a. Connect the device to your computer b. Open drive "SCANNDY"
c. Open "Config.INI" on the drive d. Set Picklist Mode=0 e. Save the changes f. Disconnect device from USB and reboot SCANNDY USER GUIDE Page 7 The device beeps and the right LED (2) turns yellow to indicate a successful decode. Take a look at the powerlineECCO+ user guide to see how to define beeps and vibrate alerts by using the Universal Configurator. SCANNDY USER GUIDE Page 8 SCANING RFID 1. Aim the scanner on the RFID tag 2. Make sure the tag is within the reader range 3. Press the trigger key (5) to read data of the RFID tag The device beeps and the right LED (2) turns yellow to indicate a successful decode. See the powerlineECCO+ user guide to see how to define beeps and vibrate alerts by using the Universal Configurator. SCANNDY USER GUIDE Page 9 BLUETOOTH CONNECTION To pair the Bluetooth enabled devices to a Bluetooth enabled host 1. Connect the device to the host using the USB port and use the Universal Configurator to set the data output mode to Bluetooth. Select the Bluetooth profile supported by the host or required by the application. Serial Port Profile (SPP) - The scanner connects to the host via Bluetooth and emulates a serial connection. The scanner accepts an incoming connection requested by a Bluetooth host. Bluetooth Keyboard Emulation (HID) -
The scanner connects to the host via Bluetooth and emulates a keyboard. The scanner accepts an incoming connection, requested by a Bluetooth host.
(See the powerlineECCO+ user guide to see how to define beeps and vibrate signals by using the Universal Configurator.) 2. Save the settings and disconnect the device from the computer. On the host computer, launch the third party Bluetooth pairing application and place the application into discover Bluetooth device mode. 3. Select the powerlineECCO+ from the discovered device list. The Bluetooth application may prompt you to scan a passkey it generated, or for you to create one and then scan the pin code. If the Bluetooth application prompts you to generate a pin, enter the configured Bluetooth pin DEFAULT: 1234 If the Bluetooth application prompts you to enter the pass key it generated, scan numeric barcodes on page X and confirm by scanning ENTER 4. 5. 6. The right LED (4) lights constantly blue as long as the device is connected SCANNDY USER GUIDE Page 10 NUMMERIC BARCODES FOR BLUETOOTH PAIRING 2 5 8 3 6 9 ENTER SCANNDY USER GUIDE Page 11 1 4 7 0 Transmitting Barcode and/or RFID data to a host Batch mode All barcodes and RFID data scanned in batch mode are saved in the file Output.txt on the removable drive Scanndy. Connect the device to the host computer via USB and use the Windows-Explorer to navigate to the device SCANNDY. Copy the file Output.txt to the host. To delete the data from the device just delete the file Output.txt SCANNDY USER GUIDE Page 12 Transmitting data from a Bluetooth or Wi-Fi device When the scanner is paired to a host via Bluetooth, the data transmits to the host after each scanning procedure and is not stored on the scanner unless the scanner moves out of the range of the host. For out of range usage you can configure the device to either store the data in a cache memory or do not allow scanning. If the device was configured to store the out of range captured data, it stores the data in a file Cache.txt. After reconnection, it transmits all cached data to the host.
(See the powerlineECCO+ user guide to see how to set the device to cache data by using the Universal Configurator.) Bidirectional communication for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connected devices For applications that require bidirectional communication between the device and the host. PANMOBIL devices support an embedded communication protocol SCOMP and REMOTE mode.
(See the powerlineECCO+ user guide to see how to set the device to use SCOMP protocol and/or REMOTE mode by using the Universal Configurator.) Troubleshooting Problem Device does not turn on Laser comes on but device does not decode barcode The device is ON but does not react on any button Possible Solution Make sure the battery is charged
- Ensure the device is configured to read the type of code being scanned
- Ensure the code is not defaced. Try to read another Barcode
- Move the device closer to or further from the code. This depends on your Barcode Size
- Press and hold the buttons 5+6+7+8 for 5 seconds to reset the device. !!! Please note !!!
By the reset the device loses its timestamp. Before you continue to use it, you must SCANNDY USER GUIDE Page 13
-
synchronize the time settings by connecting the device again with the Smart Universal Configurator .The time thereby automatically synchronized with the system time of your PC. Specific configuration settings and data will be not lost by the reset. Stored data and configuration are not affected by a reset
- Ensure that the device is in the correct Bluetooth Mode (HID or SPP)
- Ensure that you are paired correct to your host
- Renew your pairing at your host system
- Maybe the scan window has become dirty. Please clean your Scan Window with a soft cloth with water. Bluetooth is not working Barcode reading ability has degraded Nothing happens when the Scan Button is pushed
- Make sure your device is powered on.
(Green LED on the left must be on)
- Ensure that your buttons are correctly configured SCANNDY USER GUIDE Page 14 ADVANCED DEVICE CONFIGURATION The powerlineECCO+ config.ini file contains the most common device settings.
