Question

Is it possible to install a Bluetooth or Wi-Fi communication module in my DataMan 8700 if it was originally purchased with an Ethernet, USB, or RS-232 module?

Answer

Tethered handheld scanners are limited to Ethernet, USB, or RS-232 communication modules. It is not possible to convert such a device into a Bluetooth or Wi-Fi variant. These models have built-in modules that cannot be removed or replaced. Bluetooth or Wi-Fi communication modules cannot be added after purchase. Customers must make this choice at the time of ordering.
