24 Enter Setup 1564 Barcode Scanner User Guide 1.1.2 POWER ECONOMY The scanner features “Power-Saving”, “Auto Power Off” and “Auto Power Off Ignoring Scan Mode” giving consideration to the power issue that is generally critical for Bluetooth-enabled devices. By the scanner’s support of power economy, its power consumption may progress by the following transition: 1) running at full CPU speed at power-on 2) shifting to low CPU speed (Power-Saving) 3) finally shutting down automatically (Auto Power Off) In the following content of this section, you will be guided through the configurations for the scanner’s power economy. 1.1.2.1 POWER-SAVING For the scanner to save power, you need to appoint the timing for the scanner to shift to power-saving mode. Make the configuration that best suits your application while noting the following points:  Power-Saving: 1~254 minutes configurable. 0= Disable. By default, the scanner stands by at full-speed for 2 minutes after power-on and before entering low-speed mode. If Power-Saving isn’t desired, set it to 0 to disable it. Read the setup barcode in the following to achieve the setup. Note: Power-Saving setting won’t take effect when the WPAN connection is established successfully whether via BT HID or SPP. Power-Saving after 0~254 min. (*2)1) Read the barcode above to enable the scanner to enter low-speed “Power-Saving”. 2) Assign the time for the scanner to enter low-speed mode by reading the “Decimal Value” barcode on page 267. For example, read “5” for the scanner to enter low-speed mode after idleness of 5 minutes. 3) Read the “Validate” barcode on the same page to complete this setting.
25 Update Chapter 1 Understanding the Barcode Scanner Note: Power-Saving won’t take effect when one of the following conditions is met: (1) the scanner has already established a BT HID/SPP connection, (2) the scanner is in the configuration mode, (3) the scan mode is set to Test Mode, (4) the setting value of Power-Saving is greater than that of Auto Power Off. 1.1.2.2 AUTO POWER OFF For the scanner to save power, further to setting up “Power-Saving” mode, you may also need to enable “Auto Power Off”, which deals with a time for the scanner to automatically power off after power-on. Make the configuration that best suits your application while noting the following points:  Auto Power Off: 1~254 minutes configurable. 0= Disable. 1. By default, the scanner automatically shuts down 10 minutes after power-on. 2. If Auto Power Off isn’t desired, set the parameter to 0 to disable it. 3. When the scan mode is set to Test Mode, you need to enable “Auto Power Off Ignoring Scan Mode” in addition to enabling “Auto Power Off”. See the following section 1.1.2.3 Auto Power Off Ignoring Scan Mode. Note: When the scanner is set to any scan mode other than Test Mode, you can ignore “Auto Power Off Ignoring Scan Mode”. Auto Power Off after 0~254 min. (*10)1) Read the barcode above to enable the scanner to automatically turn off at a specified time after power-on. 2) Assign the auto power off time by reading the “Decimal Value” barcode on page 267. For example, read “1” and “5” for the scanner to automatically turn off after idleness of 15 minutes. 3) Read the “Validate” barcode on the same page to complete this setting. Note: “Auto Power Off” will not take effect when the scanner is in the configuration mode. 1.1.2.3 AUTO POWER OFF IGNORING SCAN MODE  This mode is intended only for Test Mode. To force a scanner that is set to Test Mode to automatically power off to save power, you need the following settings: 1. Enable “Auto Power Off” and set a time for the scanner to automatically power off after power-on. See the foregoing section 1.1.2.2 Auto Power Off 2. Enable “Auto Power Off Ignoring Scan Mode” by reading the barcode below:
26 Enter Setup 1564 Barcode Scanner User Guide Enable *DisableRead the barcode above to enable/disable automatic power-off for Test Mode. Note: “Auto Power Off Ignoring Scan Mode” only features enabling and disabling. It doesn’t feature the setting of auto power-off time. Such setting should be configured in the preceding setup of “Auto Power Off”. 1.1.3 POWER ECONOMY VS. WPAN CONNECTION Before the scanner can communicate with the host computer, Bluetooth connection (or WPAN connection) needs to be established. The scanner’s power economy always accommodates itself to the establishment of the WPAN connection. The following describes how the scanner carries out power economy before and after the establishment of the WPAN connection: Before establishing a WPAN connection successfully… 1. The scanner stays active for a specified period of time (2 minutes by default) for the following scenarios. The CPU runs at full speed, and the LED blinks blue (On/Off ratio 0.5 s: 0.5 s). (a) waiting for a connection request from the host (BT SPP Slave Mode) (b) trying to connect to the host (BT HID or BT SPP Master Mode) (c) trying to connect to 3656 2. If the scanner fails to connect within 2 minutes, it becomes inactive to save power for the remaining period of time (the specified “Auto Power Off” value minus 2 minutes). The CPU starts to run at low speed, and the LED begins to blink red (On/Off ratio 0.3 s: 2.5 s). Pull the trigger to wake up the scanner when it becomes inactive, and the scanner will become active again. 3.

The scanner will respond with one beep upon reading each of the labels.  “Set Connection” label  “Serial Number” label After reading these labels, the scanner will stay active for a specified period of time (2 minutes by default) trying to connect to the 3656 stand while its LED is flashing blue (On/Off ratio 0.5 s: 0.5 s). Once connected, the scanner will respond with three beeps (tone ascending from low to high), and the LED becomes flashing blue (On/Off ratio 0.02 s: 3 s). When getting out of range, the scanner will respond with three short beeps (tone descending from high to low). Read the “Set Connection” label first, and then the “Serial Number” label. If the “Set Connection” label on 3656 is illegible, try this one — Set ConnectionNote: The 3656 settings will overwrite the interface-related settings on the scanners that are currently connected to 3656. Users can also scan a single 2D barcode that combines the “Set Connection” and “Serial Number” setup barcodes to connect to 3656. The example below is a 2D barcode containing codes ‘#@CipherLab’, ‘88686471166254’ (Set Connection) and ‘BN1008213’ (Serial Number of 3656). Underlining the digits is to make them more readable. #@CipherLab88686471166254BN1008213

Its CPU is running at full speed, and the LED is flashing blue (On/Off ratio 0.5 s: 0.5 s). Once connected, when getting out of range, the scanner will respond with three short beeps (tone descending from high to low).
106 Enter Setup 1564 Barcode Scanner User Guide 3.2.2 CONFIGURE RELATED SETTINGS Sniff Mode (Power-saving) By default, this feature is enabled, meaning the scanner will listen to the wireless network at a reduced rate. *Enable DisableNote: When connecting more than two scanners to a notebook computer or PDA with Bluetooth® wireless technology, we suggest that you disable the power-saving setting for a more reliable connection. Device Name Broadcasting The scanner can be configured to hide itself from other devices equipped with Bluetooth® wireless technology. Simply disable the device name broadcasting setting so that it won’t be discovered by any other computer or PDA. However, broadcasting must be enabled for establishing an initial connection with the scanner. For example, you can disable device name broadcasting after successfully connecting the scanner to WorkStation1. Such connection will be maintained automatically unless the scanner is removed from the paired device list (called unpairing) by WorkStation1 or any changes made to authentication and the PIN code. If you want WorkStation2 to connect to the scanner, you will have to enable device name broadcasting first. *Enable DisableNote: By default, device name broadcasting is enabled (which is required for initial connection). Changing Device Name By default, the device name (local hostname) combines the model name with serial number (for example, 1564ABH3000001). Users are allowed to configure the device name with length up to 13 bytes. Change Bluetooth Local Hostname
107 Update Chapter 3 Setting up a WPAN Connection 1) Read the barcode above to configure the device name. 2) Read the “Hexadecimal Value” barcode on page 268 for the desired character string. 3) Read the “Validate” barcode to complete this setting.
108 Enter Setup 1564 Barcode Scanner User Guide Authentication When any changes are made to authentication and PIN code on the scanner side, you will have to remove the scanner from the paired device list (called unpairing) and go through the whole process to re-establish the connection. The scanner allows up to 16 characters for a PIN code and provides two options for authentication: Enable Authentication with Preset PIN Have the scanner read the “Use preset PIN” barcode, and change the preset PIN if necessary. This means you will have to enter exactly the same string for your computer or PDA to connect to the scanner. If the PIN or passkey is incorrect, any connection attempt will be turned down by the scanner. See step 8 in 3.2.3 Connect to Dongle. 1. Read the “Use preset PIN” barcode to enable authentication with a preset PIN. Use Preset PIN2. Read one of the barcodes to specify the PIN code, in decimal or hexadecimal. By default, the PIN code is set to “0000”. Maximum 16 characters are allowed. Enter PIN in Hexadecimal … Enter PIN in Decimal…3. Read the “Decimal Value” barcode on page 267 or the “Hexadecimal Value” barcode on page 268 for the desired digits or character string. Read the “Clear PIN Code” barcode first if you need to re-input the PIN code. Clear PIN Code4. Read the “Validate” barcode to complete this setting. Enable Authentication with Random PIN or No Authentication By default, it is set to “No PIN or use random PIN”, which depends on the setting of the target device. (No PIN = No authentication.) *No PIN or use random PIN
109 Update Chapter 3 Setting up a WPAN Connection Note: When using BT HID, some device driver may not support pre-defined PIN code for authentication. In this case, make sure you have the scanner set to “No PIN or use random PIN” before pairing. While pairing, the host PIN code will be displayed on the computer screen. Have the scanner read the setup barcode “Enter PIN Code in Decimal” or “Enter PIN Code in Hexadecimal” to input the matching PIN code. Refer to Disable Authentication or Use Random PIN. Secure Simple Pairing (SSP) Secure Simple Pairing (SSP), introduced in Bluetooth® Core Specification 2.1 + EDR, is a new feature designed to ease the pairing process while keeping up the communication security level.

For example, read “0065” for barcode length of 65 characters or read “0000” for any length. Note: If not reading 0000 for any length, the 4-digit length must exclude prefix, suffix (0x0d by default), length code, etc. 4) Matching Character setting – read the “Hexadecimal Value” barcode on page 268 for the 1st character that must be found matching in the (first) barcode. For example, read “4” and “1” for matching character “A” as the first character in the barcode or read “00” for any character. 5) Read twice the “F” barcode on page 268 (“FF”) to complete the setting of each barcode. 6) Read the “Validate” barcode to end the editing of the barcode set. 5.6.2 ACTIVATE THE CONCATENATION OF BARCODES By default, the output sequence editing of the concatenation of barcodes is not applied. When “Enforce Output Sequence” is enabled, all barcodes read by the scanner must meet with the criteria for the concatenation. If data is found excluded from all output sequence sets (= not meeting with the criteria), the scanner will not accept the reading, and therefore, data will not be transmitted. When “Apply Output Sequence” is enabled, only barcodes found meeting with the criteria are counted for the concatenation. Those found not meeting with the criteria are processed normally and individually. Note: When it requires reading more barcodes to complete the “output sequence” requirements, the scanner will respond with one short beep (low tone). After reading an acceptable barcode, its LED indicator will become solid green and go off quickly (= Good Read). Upon completion of reading acceptable barcodes, the scanner will respond with one short beep (high tone) and its LED indicator will become solid green and go off quickly (= Good Read).

If Laser mode is not desired, proceed to select a scan mode best suits your application. 5.7 REMOVAL OF SPECIAL CHARACTER You can only specify 1 character, but it will remove every matching character encountered from the starting position of barcode data until a different character is met. For example, if it is configured to remove the character “0” (hex value is “30”), one or more zeros will be stripped off the barcode data “012345” and “00012345”. However, for barcode data “010333”, only the first zero will be stripped off. Remove Special Character1) Read the barcode above to remove the specified character. 2) Read the “Hexadecimal Value” barcode on page 268 for the desired character string. For example, read “3” and “0” for the scanner to remove the character “0”. 3) Read the “Validate” barcode to complete this setting.
