Scanning Bar Codes
The SF51 has a linear imager you can use to scan and enter bar code data. The linear imager can decode 1D and 2D stacked bar codes. When you unpack the SF51, these bar code symbologies are enabled:
• Code 39
• Code 128/EAN 128
• PDF417 (only available on the SF51 with PDF version)
• UPC/EAN
If you are using bar code labels that are encoded in a different symbology, you need to enable the symbology on the SF51. Use
EasySet version 5.4 or later to enable and disable symbologies for your scanner. EasySet is available on the CD that ships with the
SF51, or you can download it at no charge from the Intermec web site at www.intermec.com.
To scan a bar code label

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).

Code 128 Function Codes
Function Code Description
FNC1
FNC2
FNC1 is used as a separator when multiple identifiers and their fields are concatenated. For example, FNC1 can be useful in keyboard wedge mode when the GS character cannot be transmitted.
When the FNC2 character occurs in a bar code, the SF51 temporarily stores the data from the bar code and transmits it as a prefix to the next symbol. In this way, FNC2 can be used to concatenate several symbols before the data is transmitted.

Chapter 4 — Configuration Command Reference
ISBT 128
Enables and configures decoding of ISBT Code 128 symbology.
ISBT Code 128 is the global bar code labeling standard for the blood banking industry. It is used to support the worldwide 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 “Calling Product
Support” on page 28.
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.
