2 Using the Handscanner
2.1 Charging the Handscanner
The Handscanner is charged by docking it in the cradle. Plug the power
supply provided with the cradle in to the power in socket on the back of the
cradle. The charge time will depend on how discharged the Handscanner
battery is. Typically a fully discharged battery will take 3-4 hours to fully
charge. The LEDs on the top of the Handscanner indicate the charge status;
Red for charge in progress, Green for charge complete. Both LEDs on
simultaneously indicates a fault condition. This will happen if the battery is
outside the recommended charging temperature (0°C to 45°C), or if the
battery has a fault.
The cradle is also capable of charging a spare battery at the same time as a
Handscanner. The spare battery drops into the holder at the back of the
cradle. The charge time in the cradle is the same as the Handscanner.
Charge status is indicated by the LEDs on the cradle. Red indicates charge in
progress, Green charge complete and Red and Green for fault (or battery not
present). Note that the charge status of the spare battery is independent of
the Handscanner.

2.3 Handscanner Readzones
Both transponders and barcodes are read in front of the Handscanner as
shown above. The barcode is read when the red laser line completely scans
over it (1D) or it is enclosed in the projected red outline (2D). RFID
transponders are read in the same plane as barcodes. The RFID read range
is far less than the barcode. Typically an RFID device will be read at less than
10cm (dependent on the size and type of the RFID device). A barcode may be
read between 5cm and 1m depending on the scanner type, barcode
symbology, size and condition.
The Handscanner functionality depends on the software running on the host
device. Generally pressing the button on the Handscanner triggers a barcode
and/or RFID read. The RFID read zone is in front of the window on the
Handscanner.

2.4 Operating modes
The Handscanner has two fundamental operating modes; Host Command
Mode and Button Press mode. Both modes may be combined in an actual
deployed application.
Host Command Mode requires custom software to be developed and
deployed to the host. All of the functionality and features of the Handscanner
can be remotely controlled in Host Command Mode. The full command set is
documented in the ‘Handscanner Programming Guide’. To simplify custom
application development an API is available; this is documented in the
‘Handscanner API’ document. Both documents are available from the
Technology Solutions’ website (www.tsl.uk.com/downloads). Source code examples
are provided in the Software Development Kit available from Technology
Solutions (1062-0x-BT-HSCAN-KIT).
In Button Press Mode the Handscanner is initially configured to operate in a
particular way each time the button is pressed. A PC application; Desktop
Configuration is provided by Technology Solutions for configuring
Handscanners. An overview of the configurable features is given in Section
2.5.
Host Command Mode requires that the Handscanner has a Bluetooth link to
the host. Button Press Mode usually operates with a Bluetooth link, but it is
possible to configure the Handscanner to store scan data locally and
download it later. This is Batch Mode and is described in Section 2.5.8.
The method of establishing the Bluetooth link varies between different host
platforms. The Handscanner appears as a serial device (Bluetooth Serial Port
Profile) and so in some cases will be accessed over a virtual comm. port. The
Handscanner establishes a secure Bluetooth connection and therefore a PIN
will be required during the pairing process. The default PIN is ‘0000’, but this
can be changed using the Desktop Configuration software. When discovering
devices the Bluetooth Friendly Name of the Handscanner is set to be the
same as the serial number printed on the side of the Handscanner. Again, this
may be changed. Refer to the operating instructions of the host platform for
further information on establishing a Bluetooth link.

2.5 Configurable features
2.5.1 Introduction
The Desktop Configuration application supplied by Technology Solutions is
required for configuring Button Press Mode on a Handscanner. This
application is available for download from the Technology Solutions website
(www.tsl.uk.com/downloads) along with a full user guide. Configuration of the
Handscanner is only possible over the wired serial connection. A cradle and
serial data lead are therefore required. If the host PC does not have a serial
port it is possible to use a USB to serial converter lead.
The following sections provide an overview of the configuration options.
2.5.2 Bluetooth settings
The Bluetooth Friendly Name, the PIN and the Bluetooth RF power can be
modified.
2.5.3 Functionality
The RFID functionality can be enabled and disabled for each transponder
type. Barcode scanning, and the various symbologies included in a barcode
scan can be enabled and disabled.
2.5.4 Prefix
A prefix can be added to the scanned data to indicate whether it came from a
barcode, or from a particular RFID transponder type. A prefix can also be
added to all scanned data to indicate which Handscanner the data came from.
2.5.5 Buzzer
The buzz on successful read function can be enabled or disabled.
2.5.6 Vibrator
Vibrate on successful read can be enabled or disabled.
2.5.7 RFID multiblock read
An RFID transponder may contain multiple blocks of data in addition to the
unique serial number. The start block and number of subsequent blocks to
read when a transponder is present can be configured.
2.5.8 Batch mode
Batch mode allows the Handscanner to store all scanned data locally if there
is not a Bluetooth link to the host. With Batch mode enabled the Handscanner
continues to operate as normal, but stores scan data locally. This data can
then be downloaded from the Handscanner memory subsequently. If Batch
mode is not enabled the Handscanner will not respond to button presses
when a Bluetooth link is not established.

Page 12 of 39
Batch mode is a useful feature in help to avoid data loss if the Bluetooth link
drops because the Handscanner has moved out of range of the host. There is
a risk of a short period of data loss because the Bluetooth link failure
indication is not immediate. Scan data obtained during the period between
moving out of range and the Bluetooth link indicating failure may not be
preserved.
2.5.9 Scan time
The maximum duration in seconds of a scan can be configured. The barcode
reader has an independent maximum scan duration (4s for 1D, 10s for 2D).
Setting the Scan Time to shorter than these times results in barcode and
RFID scanning stopping at the specified time, setting the Scan Time to longer
times results in the barcode scanning stopping before the RFID
2.5.10 Power down time
The time in seconds that the Handscanner stays powered on after the
Bluetooth link has dropped or the button has been pressed can be changed
from the default value of 120 seconds.
2.5.11 Firmware update
The Desktop Configuration application includes a firmware loader for updating
the Handscanner firmware.

3 Application Examples – PC
3.1 Introduction
These examples assume that the Handscanner is in its factory default state
and that it is being used on a PC running Windows XP. The same approach
can be taken with any other platform.
3.2 Setting up the Bluetooth connection
Establishing a Bluetooth connection requires the stages of Discovery and
Pairing. The Handscanner conforms to the Bluetooth Serial Port Profile and
therefore a Virtual Comm port will be created as part of the Bluetooth setup
process.
Launch the Bluetooth Device window (Start>Control Panel>Bluetooth
Devices). Click the ‘Add’ button, switch on the Handscanner by pressing the
yellow button. The Blue LED will start to flash slowly. Tick the ‘My device is
set up and ready to be found.’ box and click the ‘Next’ button. This starts the
Discovery process. When this is complete a list of devices will be shown,
including the Handscanner as shown below:
The Handscanner will be identified by its Bluetooth Friendly name which by
default is the serial number printed on the side of the Handscanner. Click on
the Handscanner and then on ‘Next’ to start Pairing. Enter the default PIN of
‘0000’ as shown below and then click ‘Next’.

3.3 Using SmartWedge Basic
3.3.1 Introduction
SmartWedge Basic is an application for Windows XP which allows scanned
data to be directly entered into another Application as though it had been
typed on the keyboard. The data is inserted at the cursor of whichever window
has focus. This allows the Handscanner to be immediately used in existing
systems with no software development. The Handscanner can be configured
(see Section 2.5) to provide a certain set of actions on button press so that the
correct data is read and prefixed ready for use by the existing software. A
more advanced version of the SmartWedge software is available from
Technology Solutions which includes additional functionality such as data
filtering and formatting.
3.3.2 Installation
SmartWedge Basic for the PC is provided in a standard Windows Installer
(.msi) package. Double click to install the application.
3.3.3 Operation
Start SmartWedge from ‘Start > All Programs > Technology Solutions >
SmartWedge Basic’. When the application starts it shows the configuration
window as below:
Before using SmartWedge Basic the Handscanner must be associated with a
virtual comm. port (see Section 3.2). Select the appropriate port number from
the ‘COM Port selector’, ensure the Handscanner is powered on and tap the
‘Connect’ button. If the correct virtual comm. port is not shown in the ‘COM
Port selector’ then it is possible to directly type in the port number.

Any RFID or barcode data scanned by the Handscanner will then appear at
the top of the window and also in the ‘Default text window’ whilst SmartWedge
Basic has focus (the cursor is flashing in the ‘Default text window’). Launch
the application that is to receive the data, for example Excel, and position the
cursor at the data entry point. Scan data will then be entered into the target
application. By default all scanned data is terminated with CR LF characters to
automate data entry. A typical screenshot is shown below:
Note that if CAPS lock is selected on the PC keyboard all of the alphabetical
characters will have their case reversed so a lower case character from a
barcode will appear as an upper case character in the receiving application
and vice versa.
Minimise SmartWedge Basic using the cross in the top right hand corner of
the window. SmartWedge Basic minimises to the System Tray. Hover the
mouse over the icon to see the current status, double click to restore the main
window or right click to restore, disconnect or exit the application. Even when
SmartWedge Basic is minimised the ‘Most recent scan data’ entry is always
updated with the most recently received text.
When SmartWedge Basic is no longer required, click ‘Disconnect’ to close the
link to the Handscanner and exit SmartWedge Basic from ‘File > Exit’.
