1. Reset to Factory Mode
1.1 If some function is set by a 1D barcode, you can reset it to factory mode by
scanning the barcode below.
Note: The factory default setting is indicated by an asterisk ‘*’.
Reset to Factory Mode
Enter Inventory Mode
Reset to Factory Mode Setting Completed
1.2 If some function is set by a two-dimensional code, you can reset it to factory
mode by scanning the two-dimensional code below.
2. Inventory Mode
If you want to keep the barcodes in the buffer of Inateck BCST-50 for multiple
uploading, you can choose inventory mode. In inventory mode, Inateck BCST-50 will
count the number of the barcodes automatically. Users may use inventory mode
to keep scanned barcodes in the buffer of Inateck BCST-50, and upload them to
computer in batches. Under inventory mode, users are not restricted to the time
and location when upload data. Of course, history data can be cleared in bu󱐯er after
uploading. More details about inventory mode are as below.
1) Scan the ‘Enter Inventory Mode’ barcode to enter Inventory Mode

2
Data Upload (for Inventory Mode only)
Clear Data in Bu󱐯er (for Inventory Mode only)
(*) Return to Common Mode
Upload the Number of scanned barcodes (for Inventory Mode only)
2) Scan the ‘Data Upload (for Inventory Mode only)’barcode to upload data from
bu󱐯er (for Inventory Mode only)
3) Scan the barcode to upload the number of scanned barcodes (for Inventory Mode
only)
4) Scan the barcode to clear data in bu󱐯er (for Inventory Mode only).
5) Scan the barcode to return to Common Mode.

4. Bluetooth HID and SPP modes
BCST-50 has Bluetooth capability that supports data transmission under two modes
including HID and SPP. When under HID mode, the BCST-50 connects your phone or
computer automatically after pairing successfully. You can open a text editor program
on your computer or phone to receive barcode information then. When under SPP
mode, the BCST-50 can only nish connecting your computer or phone with the help
of serial debugging tools after successful pairing. In that case, You should rst open a
serial debugging tool on your computer or phone, and use it to receive the barcode
data. HID is the default mode, however, you can switch the modes by scanning the
barcodes below.
（*）Enable HID Mode
Mute
Enable SPP Mode
（*）Unmute

6. Interval Setting for the Duplicate Scanning
Avoid duplicate scanning via the setting below, especially under continuous
scanning mode and auto-induction mode.
500ms
3000ms
Enable Interval Setting for Duplicate Scanning
1000ms
5000ms
（*）Disable Interval Setting for Duplicate Scanning
6.1 Time Interval Setting
Example
You do not want the scanner to scan one code twice within 1000ms. The settings
below may help you.
1. Scan the two-dimensional code “Enable Interval Setting for Duplicate Scanning”
2. Scan the two-dimensional code “1000ms”.
To recover to default setting, scan the two-dimensional code “(*) Disable Interval
Setting for Duplicate Scanning”.

7. Setting for Inverse Barcode
Under some situation the white and black can be inverse on a barcode. With the
settings below, the barcode scanner can scan both common barcode and the inverse
barcode.
（*）Disable decoding for 1D inverse barcode
（*）Disable decoding for inverse two-dimensional code
Enable UPC-A to EAN-13
Enable decoding for 1D inverse barcode
Enable decoding for inverse two-dimensional code
（*）Disable UPC-A to EAN-13
8. Convert UPC-A to EAN-13

9. Settings to read all kinds of codes
9.1 Scanning Conguration on BCST-50
BCST-50 can be congured to read all supported codes, but it can be disabled and
does not read any code. Relevant function codes can be found below.
To read all types of codes: Able to scan all supported codes
Not to read any type of codes: Able to scan the codes for setting purpose only
To read the default codes: Some codes are rarely used. The scanning speed can be
enhanced if the scanning for such codes are disabled. If so, the scanner BCST-50 can
read default codes only. To enable the function of reading other codes, please scan “To
read all types of codes”.
