Page 74: Bluetooth Technology Profile Support
4 - 6 DS6878 Product Reference Guide Bluetooth Technology Profile Support With Bluetooth Technology Profile Support, the cradle is not required for wireless communication. The digital scanner communicates directly to the host using Bluetooth technology. The digital scanner supports the standard Bluetooth Serial Port Profile (SPP) and HID Profiles which enable the digital scanner to communicate with other Bluetooth devices that support these profiles.

Page 79: Hid Ignore Unknown Characters
Radio Communications 4 - 11 HID Ignore Unknown Characters Unknown characters are characters the host does not recognize. When Send Bar Codes With Unknown Characters is scanned, all bar code data is sent except for unknown characters, and no error beeps sound. When Do Not Send Bar Codes With Unknown Characters is scanned, bar codes containing at least one unknown character are not sent to the host, and an error beep sounds.
Page 80: Hid Keyboard Fn1 Substitution
4 - 12 DS6878 Product Reference Guide HID Keyboard FN1 Substitution When enabled, this parameter allows replacement of any FN1 character in an EAN128 bar code with a Key Category and value chosen by the user. See FN1 Substitution Values on page 5-50 to set the Key Category and Key Value.
Page 81: Simulated Caps Lock
Radio Communications 4 - 13 Simulated Caps Lock When enabled, the digital scanner inverts upper and lower case characters on the digital scanner bar code as if the Caps Lock state is enabled on the keyboard. This inversion is done regardless of the current state of the keyboard Caps Lock state.
Page 82: Auto-Reconnect Feature
4 - 14 DS6878 Product Reference Guide Auto-reconnect Feature When in SPP Master or Cradle Host mode, the digital scanner automatically tries to reconnect to a remote device when a disconnection occurs that is due to the radio losing communication. This can happen if the digital scanner goes out of range with the remote device, or if the remote device powers down.
Page 83: Reconnect Attempt Beep Feedback
Radio Communications 4 - 15 Reconnect Attempt Beep Feedback When a digital scanner disconnects as it goes out of range, it immediately attempts to reconnect. While the digital scanner attempts to reconnect, the green LED continues to blink. If the auto-reconnect process fails, the digital scanner emits a page timeout beep (long low/long high) and stops blinking the LED.
Page 84: Reconnect Attempt Interval

With this option, a delay can occur when transmitting the first characters.
Page 86: Digital Scanner(S) To Cradle Support
4 - 18 DS6878 Product Reference Guide Digital Scanner(s) To Cradle Support Modes of Operation The charging cradle with radio supports two radio communication modes of operation, allowing the digital scanner to communicate wirelessly: • Point-to-Point • Multipoint-to-Point. Point-to-Point Communication In Point-to-Point communication mode, the cradle allows one digital scanner to connect to it at a time.
Page 87: Parameter Broadcast (Cradle Host Only)
Radio Communications 4 - 19 Parameter Broadcast (Cradle Host Only) When in multipoint-to-point mode, enable Parameter Broadcast to broadcast all parameter bar codes scanned to all other digital scanners in the piconet. If disabled, parameter bar codes are processed by the individual digital scanner only, and the digital scanner ignores parameters broadcast from other digital scanners or from the cradle.

Page 91: Connection Maintenance Interval
Radio Communications 4 - 23 Connection Maintenance Interval NOTE The Connection Maintenance Interval only applies in locked pairing mode (see page 4-20). When a digital scanner disconnects from a cradle due to a Link Supervision Timeout, the digital scanner immediately attempts to reconnect to the cradle for 30 seconds. If the auto-reconnect process fails, it can be restarted by pulling the digital scanner trigger.

Page 94: Bluetooth Security
4 - 26 DS6878 Product Reference Guide Bluetooth Security The digital scanner supports Bluetooth Authentication and Encryption. Authentication can be requested by either the remote device or the digital scanner. When Authentication is requested, the digital scanner uses its programmed PIN code to generate a link key. Once Authentication is complete, either device may then negotiate to enable Encryption.
Page 95: Pin Code
Radio Communications 4 - 27 PIN Code To set the PIN code (e.g., password) on the digital scanner, scan the bar code below followed by five alphanumeric programming bar codes (see Appendix E, Alphanumeric Bar Codes). The default PIN code is 12345. If the digital scanner communicates with a cradle with security enabled, synchronize the PIN codes on the digital scanner and cradle.

Page 395: Chapter 16 Advanced Data Formatting
Chapter 16 Advanced Data Formatting Introduction Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) is a means of customizing data before transmission to the host device. Scan data can be edited to suit particular requirements. To implement ADF, scan a related series of bar codes, which begin on page 16-8, which allows programming the digital scanner with Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) Rules.
Page 396: Using Adf Bar Codes
16 - 2 DS6878 Product Reference Guide Using ADF Bar Codes When programming a rule, make sure the rule is logically correct. Plan ahead before scanning. To program each data formatting rule: • Start the Rule. Scan the Begin New Rule bar code on page 16-8.

Page 605: Appendix G Signature Capture Code
Appendix G Signature Capture Code Introduction CapCode, a signature capture code, is a special pattern that encloses a signature area on a document and allows a scanner to capture a signature. There are several accepted patterns that allow automatic identification of different signatures on the same form. For example, on the federal tax return 1040 form there are three signature areas, one each for two joint filers, and one for a professional preparer.
Page 606: Capcode Pattern Structure
G - 2 DS6878 Product Reference Guide CapCode Pattern Structure A CapCode pattern structure consists of a start pattern followed by a separator space, a signature capture box, a second separator space, and then a stop pattern. Assuming that X is the dimension of the thinnest element, the start and stop patterns each contains 9X total width in 4 bars and 3 spaces.
Page 607: Dimensions
Signature Capture Code G - 3 Table G-2 lists selectable parameters used to generate the image of the captured signature. User Defined CapCode Parameters Table G-2 Parameter Defined Width Number of pixels Height Number of pixels Format JPEG, BMP, TIFF JPEG quality 1 (most compression) to 100 (best quality) Bits Per Pixel...
Page 608: Additional Capabilities
G - 4 DS6878 Product Reference Guide Additional Capabilities Regardless of how the signature is captured, the output signature image is de-skewed and right-side up. A scanner that captures signatures automatically determines whether it is scanning a signature or a bar code.
