Frontline supports a variety of external Bluetooth scanners as peripheral devices. As with any other Bluetooth-enabled device, a scanner needs to be paired with a smart glasses in order to be used.
To pair a scanner as an SPP master (non-discoverable and supporting auto reconnect):
⇒ A PDF with information on how to connect this scanner opens up.
Note: For each scanner model, there is a dedicated PDF document available that contains various maintenance codes and device codes. Each maintenance code comes with a description of what they are used for depending on the capabilities of the scanner model. The device codes contain barcodes for all registered smart device brands on the Workplace application.
To pair the scanner with smart glasses follow the steps below:
1. Sign in to the Frontline Workplace application on the smart glasses.
2. From the PDF, scan the code displayed under the SPP Mode (Master) – Pairing Codes.
Note: Hyco26 works only for printed barcodes, while Hyco27 works for both printed and on-screen barcodes, and Hyco28 works for printed/on-screen barcodes and 2D code reading.
3. From the PDF, scan the code displayed next to the device you want to pair the scanner.
4. On your smart glasses select Pair from the Android notification.
