Abstract
Methods and systems for establishing a bi-directional communication link between a host device and a barcode reader are disclosed herein. In an embodiment, the present invention enables a barcode reader to pair with a host device by way of advertising a unique identification code that is generated by the host device and passed thereto via a barcode. Responsive to detecting the unique identification code, the host device is operable to connect to the barcode reader.
