Scan-To-Connect (STC) Utility

The Scan-To-Connect (STC) Utility offers a seamless solution for pairing Zebra Bluetooth scanners to phones or tablets in a single step, eliminating the need to modify your existing applications. Unlike standard HID keyboards, STC supports enhanced HID keyboard mode to ensure reliable data transmission with retransmission of corrupted data and error notifications for missing scans.

Key features include a virtual keyboard for manual data entry when barcodes are damaged or missing, viewing the host device's Bluetooth MAC address, printing pairing barcodes, launching applications post-pairing, and customizable UI settings to hide advanced options during deployment. Developers can integrate the scan-to-connect pairing functionality directly into Windows, Android, and iOS apps with provided source code at Zebra's developer portal. This utility streamlines Bluetooth scanner connectivity, boosting productivity for mobile data capture without compromising app integrity.
