Factory Default QX Ethernet Settings


The QX scanners have new sticky settings that hold through a default – like the lens selection and Ethernet settings. The only way to wipe everything is with a command. If you can't connect to the reader to send this command, One thing you could do is make a programming barcode that resets the Ethernet settings.
it will reset the ip address to 192.168.0.100 subnet 255.255.0.0 and port 1.

HE-40T MSQ bluetooth pin code 12345678

Microscan has a version of Code Corps much OEM'd CR2 scanner with bluetooth capabilities.

If you don't have a com port on your PC but need USB serial - you can't use the USB bluetooth modem

But you can use a third party modem such as a Belkin USB adapter.

The cleanest way I got it to work was to plug it in and allow Windows to recognize and install the drivers. Go to Device Manager and find out what Com port it gave you.

Create a quick connect code using the Microscan ESP software and the MAC address from the Belkin

Start Hyper Terminal or something at 9600,n,8,1 and the com port from device manage.
Windows will pop up saying a device wants to connect - click on it and enter pin code 12345678 and you should be good to go
