1.14 PAGER BEEP (1664)

This function helps track down the 1664 scanner should it be misplaced or fall out of sight.

The Pager Beep relies on a host computer such as your Windows-based PC, smartphone,

or tablet to initiate some Bluetooth-based action to make the lost property beep so it

becomes noticeable.

In default state, the Pager Beep parameter is set to 5, which means Pager Beep is

enabled and between each beep are five seconds.

In the Pager Beep Duration spin box, set a number between 0 and 15. “0” will disable the

Pager Beep while the other numbers set the second(s) between each beep. (0~15

configurable, 0=disable)

The following describes what to do on different host computers to trace the 1664

scanner:

1.14.1 WINDOWS-BASED PC

When the host is a Windows-based PC, the transmission interfaces supported are

Bluetooth HID and Bluetooth SPP. Deviated from other 1-series Bluetooth-based models,

the 1664 scanner is able to deliver Power-Saving service for Bluetooth HID and SPP.

However the Pager Beep only comes to the rescue when the 1664 sits in low-speed

Power-Saving mode (see

1.2.2 Power-Saving). Hence a well provided Auto-Power Off

time is necessary for the Pager Beep to work because it isn’t possible once the scanner

powers off. (See also

1.2.3 Auto Power Off.)

The following describes what to do to locate the scanner for different interfaces:

BLUETOOTH HID

When it is the Bluetooth HID that interfaces the 1664 scanner, press either “Scroll Lock”,

“Num Lock”, or “Caps Lock” on the PC’s keyboard to revive the scanner afar. The scanner

will respond with 2 short beeps on a regular time basis (every 5 seconds by default) and

won’t stop until either of the following happens:

1) The scan button or power button is pressed.

2) It is the defined time for Power-Saving again. (The scanner returns to power-saving.)

Note: Only Windows PC’s keyboards are supported currently.

BLUETOOTH SPP

When it is the Bluetooth SPP that interfaces the 1664 scanner, initiate any

Bluetooth-based data transmission on the host computer by way of serial ports. The

scanner will recover the activity and respond with 2 short beeps on a regular time basis

(every 5 seconds by default) and won’t stop until either of the following happens:

1) The scan button or the power button is pressed.
