1Introduction
The BL 1000 is a breakthrough in affordable wireless laser scanning. The scanner has all of the scanning
performance of more expensive laser scanners, the convenience of hand-held portability, and the advantage of
Bluetooth
®
Wireless Technology. The BL1000 has a 10 to 15 meter real-time operating range, and an
unlimited batch range with automatic reconnection. In store-and-forward mode you can capture approximately
500 UPC barcode symbols, and then automatically upload them when you move back into range.
The BL 1000 Scanner provides backward compatibility with the optional Serial Cable. You can plug the cable
into the scanner for use with an existing system, and then disconnect for wireless operations.
