SF51 Cordless Scanner User’s Guide  
 
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).

Enables or disables decoding of Codabar symbology. Codabar  
is a self-checking, discrete symbology. The American Blood  
Commission (ABC) Codabar requires that you retain and  
transmit the start/stop code digits when processing a Codabar  
symbol. As a result, configuration CD10 is an illegal  
configuration.  
Codablock A  
Enables or disables decoding of Codablock A symbology.  
Codablock A is a 2D bar code that is an extension of Code 39.  
If Code 39 is enabled with check digit, you cannot enable

enable Codablock A. If Code 39 is enabled with check digit,  
Codablock A will not be decoded properly.  
Codablock F  
Enables or disables decoding of Codablock F symbology.  
Codablock F is a 2D bar code that is an extension of Code 128.  
If Code 128 is enabled with check digit, you cannot enable  
Codablock F. For best results, disable Code 128 before you  
enable Codablock F.  
Code 11  
Enables or disables decoding of Code 11 symbology. Code 11 is  
a very high-density, discrete numeric bar code. It is most  
extensively used in labeling telecommunications components  
and equipment.

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.

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.

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

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.
