Chromebook

I'm having an issue with multiple c720p chromebooks. They are being used with bluetooth barcode scanners. The bluetooth normally disconnects them after a random period I'm guessing for some power saving that I can't disable which is infuriating to say the least. But sometimes when it disconnects the bluetooth service seems to freeze on the c720p as well as you cant reconnect to the scanner or even turn on/off the bluetooth radio.

Any insight or fixes would be very appreciated.

Google has a support article regarding bluetooth which lists some compatible devices, but I don't see bar code scanner listed as a type of compatible device. You may try contacting Google to see if they have any recommendations for using that scanner on ChromeOS.
