Chapter 2 — Configuring and Managing the SF51
Configuring Bluetooth Communications
The SF51 can communicate with a host device through the
Serial Port Profile (SPP) Bluetooth communications profile.
SPP allows the SF51 to use the Bluetooth link as a serial port to
communicate with the host device. You can send information
from the SF51 to your serial application without having to
modify your application.
You can initiate a Bluetooth connection from either your SF51
or host device:
• If you initiate the connection from your SF51, you can only
connect one SF51 to your host device. When you reset the
SF51 by placing it in a charger, the SF51 automatically
reestablishes the Bluetooth connection.
• If you initiate the connection from a host device, you can
connect more than one SF51 to the same host device. When
you reset the SF51 by placing it in a charger, you need to
reestablish the Bluetooth connection from your host device.
Configuring Security
The SF51 provides Bluetooth wireless security for transmitting
data. By default, security is active on your SF51. For maximum
security, you need to configure a Bluetooth PIN (personal
identification number).
This section assumes that you have already installed EasySet
version 5.2 or later.
To configure a Bluetooth PIN for your SF51
1 Start EasySet version 5.2 or later.
2 In the Commands window, select Data transmission
settings > Bluetooth parameters > security.
3 Select active.
4 Select compose PIN and create a Bluetooth PIN that is up to
16 characters in length. The default Bluetooth PIN is 0000.
5 Scan both commands onscreen with your SF51, or print the
bar code setup sheet and scan both commands.

distribution, tracking, and handling of blood bags and blood
components.
GTIN Processing for EAN 128
With GTIN processing enabled, a GTIN compliant EAN 128
label will have the first two digits stripped and output 14 digits.
A GTIN (Global Trade Item Number) compliant EAN 128
label:
• is 16 digits long.
• has “01” as the first two digits of the label.
Configuration Modes and Utilities
Use Configuration Modes and Utilities to:
• allow the SF51 to always accept configuration commands by
scanning bar codes or to timeout 1 minute after the last
configuration command is set by scanning a bar code.
• get the product version, sub-system versions, and Bluetooth
address of your SF51.
• page the SF51 from your host PC or turn off the SF51.
For more information and bar codes, see “Getting Information
About Your SF51” on page 24.

Chapter 4 — Configuration Command Reference
Consecutive Same Read Data Validation
To increase decode security, you can have the scanner scan a bar
code multiple times to ensure you have a valid read before
transmitting the data.
You can set Consecutive Same Read Data Validation from 0 to
10. The default value of 0 sets the scanner to automatically
adapt the consecutive same read based on the bar code quality
and the trust level of the bar code. For example, labels with a
check digit require less reads than labels without a check digit.
Disable All Symbologies
This command disables all symbologies. Disabling all
symbologies does not reset symbology parameters to their default
values. To reset all symbology parameters to their default factory
settings, use the Administrator Reset Factory Defaults
command. For more information, see “Administrator Reset
Factory Defaults” on page 36.
Error Beep
Enables or disables the error beep. When you scan a
configuration bar code that is damaged or unknown, you
hear an error beep, and the configuration of the SF51 is not
changed.
Good Read Beep Duration
Sets the length of the SF51 good read beeps. You can set Good
Read Beep Duration to a value from 0 (off) to 2550 ms.
Use Good Read Beep Duration in combination with Beep
Volume and Beep Frequency to define beeps according to
operator preference and work environment.
Good Read Beep Number
Determines the number of beeps used for the good read beep: 1,
2, or none.

Chapter 4 — Configuration Command Reference
Good Read Beep Timing
Determines if the good read beep happens before or after
successfully transmitting data.
Good Read LED Duration
Sets the amount of time the green Status light stays on after a
good read. You can set Good Read LED Duration to a value
from 0 (off) to 5110 ms. When the Status light is on due to a
long duration time, the SF51 can still read new bar codes and
receive commands.
Interleaved 2 of 5
Enables or disables decoding of Interleaved 2 of 5 symbology.
Interleaved 2 of 5 is a high-density, self-checking, continuous
numeric symbology. It is mainly used in inventory distribution
and the automobile industry.
Matrix 2 of 5
Enables or disables decoding of Matrix 2 of 5 symbology. Matrix
2 of 5 is a discrete bar code derived from Code 11.
Micro PDF417
Enables or disables decoding of Micro PDF417 symbology.
Micro PDF417 is a multi-row symbology based on PDF417. It
is designed to maximize area efficiency for applications that do
not need the maximum data capacity of PDF417. Micro
PDF417 contains a limited set of symbol sizes that each includes
a fixed level of error correction.
MSI
Enables or disables decoding of MSI symbology. MSI code is
similar to Plessey code in that it includes a start pattern, data
characters, one or two check digits, and a stop pattern.

PDF417
PDF417 is only supported on the SF51 with PDF version.
Enables or disables decoding of PDF417 symbology. The
PDF417 symbology is a stacked 2D symbology that allows you
to scan across rows of code. Each row consists of start/stop
characters, row identifiers, and symbol characters, which consist
of four bars and four spaces each and contain the actual data.
This symbology uses error correction symbol characters
appended at the end to recover loss of data.
Macro PDF417, a feature of PDF417, extends the capability of
PDF417 by allowing up to 99,999 PDF417 symbols to be used
to store data. The symbols are concatenated as they are scanned
and can be scanned in any order.
Plessey
Enables or disables decoding of Plessey symbology. Plessey code
is pulse-width modulated like most other bar codes. It includes a
start character, data characters, an eight-bit cyclic check digit, a
termination bar, and usually a reverse start character. The code is
continuous and not self-checking. You need to configure two
parameters for Plessey code: Start Code and Check Digit.
Postamble
Sets the postamble that is appended to any data you scan.
Common postambles include cursor controls such as a tab
or a carriage return line feed. You can set Postamble to up to 20
ASCII characters.
Preamble
Sets the preamble that precedes any data you scan. Common
preambles include a data location number or an operator
number. You can set Preamble to up to 20 ASCII characters.
