  2.  Scan [0] & [5] on page 11 & 12.
  3.  Scan [Set Minute]
  4.  Scan [Set Second]

  6.  Scan [Set Second]

No Timeout (Scanner Always On)

BINARY CHECK CHARACTER

Once enabled, a checksum will be added to the end of each data to conduct Xor calculation. For Bluetooth SPP & USB-VCP, the BCC is 1 byte. For Bluetooth HID, the BCC are 2 bytes.
Example:
The barcode data is “TEST” with terminator

  1.  Bluetooth SPP & USB-VCP:
    Data Format = + + + + + + . BCC = 54h ^ 45h ^ 53h ^ 54h ^ 0Dh ^ 0Ah = 11h
  1.  Bluetooth HID:
    Data Format = + + + + + BCC = 54h ^ 45h ^ 53h ^ 54h ^ E7h = F1h

However, since control character cannot be displayed in Bluetooth HID, BCC will be converted into 2 bytes of characters. As a result, the data will be: TEST + + F + 1
