Baracoda USB Plug & Scan User Guide
1 Introduction
The USB Plug & Scan dongle simplifies the connection between the Baracoda scanners (BaracodaPencil,
BL2604, BLR2604, BC2604, BCM2604-L, and BCM2604-F) and all laptops, PCs (no Mac), TabletPCs, or all
devices that can accept a USB keyboard.
Normally, a USB Bluetooth Dongle requires the user to install the Bluetooth drivers in order to add the
Bluetooth connectivity to their host computer.
With the Baracoda USB Plug & Scan dongle, the Bluetooth drivers and the BaracodaManager are already
embedded in the memory of the USB device. So there is no software or BaracodaManager needed. This plug
and scan solution still allow users to have acknowledgment beeps, automatic reconnection and bufferisation of
the data even if the barcode is read when the Barcode reader is not connected.
Simply plug the USB Plug & Scan dongle in your computer, scan a “pairing barcode” with a Baracoda
scanner, and the Bluetooth connection will be automatically established.
2 Technical introduction
The USB Plug & Scan dongle is only able to establish point-to-point connections.
This means that the USB dongle cannot connect simultaneously to more than one device.
The USB Plug & Scan dongle can have 3 states:
•
Unpaired: The dongle can accept connections from any Baracoda scanner (see how to pair your
BaracodaPencil, BC2604, BL2604, BLR2604, BCM2604-L, and BCM2604-F).
•
Paired, waiting for connection: The dongle has already been paired to a Baracoda scanner. Just
switch on this scanner under the Bluetooth range of the USB and the connection will be automatically
established. In this mode it is not possible to connect a second Baracoda scanner. In order to
connect another Baracoda scanner you must “unpair” the USB Plug & Scan dongle first.
•
Connected: The USB dongle is connected to the Baracoda scanner. Just scan barcodes and the
barcodes will be transmitted to the active cursor on the screen of your host device.
