CHAPTER 2 –
CONNECT THE SF61B
TO CONNECT IN SPP DEVICE PROFILE — OUTGOING CONNECTION
1.
Before trying to pair and connect your scanner, make sure that:
•
the scanner is not already trying to establish a Bluetooth connection
(blinking blue Honeywell Ready-to-Work indicator); in this case read the
Bluetooth Device Disconnect barcode:
Bluetooth Device Disconnect
•
the scanner is not already paired with your Bluetooth device using another
profile; in this case remove it from your host's list of Bluetooth devices
•
your host is equipped for Bluetooth communication
•
the scanner is turned on (if not pull the trigger to turn it on)
2.
Scan the SPP Bluetooth device profile configuration code:
Bluetooth Device Profile – SPP (*)
3.
Pair the scanner with your device:
•
Double-click the Bluetooth icon in the Windows system tray (or equivalent).
The Bluetooth Devices window showing the current list of paired devices is
displayed.
•
Click Add a device or the equivalent command depending on your operating
system.
The host searches for all active Bluetooth devices within range. Your
»
SF61B scanner appears in the Bluetooth device list with the name
SF61B - BDA, where BDA is the scanner's Bluetooth Device Address (by
default – name can be changed).
Note: If the scanner does not appear in the list, it might already be paired
with the host (under some operating systems, already-paired Bluetooth
devices do not appear in the Bluetooth device search list).
It may also be switched off and therefore not visible to the host. Press the
scan button to restart the scanner.
•
Select your scanner in the list and click Next (or the equivalent command).
•
Note: If a pairing code is requested, click Enter the device's pairing code
(or the equivalent command), enter the scanner's pairing code (the default
Honeywell Bluetooth pairing code is "0000"), and confirm.
Your SF61B scanner is now displayed in the host PC's list of paired devices.
The scanner is paired but not connected to your host application – you will
not hear the "connection successful" beep sequence (series of beeps from
low to high) or see the blue Honeywell Ready-to-Work indicator (default
scanner behavior) until you connect to your host application.

SPP pairing created two
Bluetooth virtual serial ports
(Outgoing and Incoming).
For an Outgoing SPP Bluetooth
connection, you will need to
know which Outgoing virtual
COM port to open from your
host application.
4.
Note the outgoing virtual COM port
that has been created:
•
Right-click the Bluetooth icon
in the Windows system tray and
choose Open Settings (or its
equivalent). A Bluetooth settings
window is displayed.
•
Locate the COM Ports section
and note the outgoing COM
port number.
•
Close the Bluetooth settings
window.
5.
Connect the host to the scanner by
opening the COM port:
•
Press the scan button to turn on
your SF61B.
•
Start your host application and
select the Outgoing COM port
that you noted previously (see
above).
•
Depending on your host
configuration and the time
elapsed since your last
connection / scanner reset,
a popup may indicate that a
Bluetooth device is trying to
connect.
•
If a pairing code is requested,
click Enter the device's
pairing code (or the equivalent
command) and enter the
scanner's pairing code (the
default Honeywell Bluetooth
pairing code is "0000").
