1660 Barcode Scanner User Guide Authentication For security concerns, it is suggested that you enable authentication and specify a unique PIN code, also known as the passkey used to pair two devices before establishing a WPA connection. The scanner itself allows up to 16 characters for a PIN code. This means you will have to enter exactly the same string for your computer or PDA to connect to the scanner. If the passkey is incorrect, any connection attempt will be turned down by the scanner.
