7 Configuring your scanner
There are two (2) ways to configure your scanner:
• When connected to a host device, you can use the BaracodaManager for multiple settings (refer
to BaracodaManager documentation).
• Or you can use configuration barcodes (refer to the programming guide).In this case you do not
need to be connected.
7.1 Reset your scanner:
To reset the scanner to its “default settings”, use BaracodaManager Software or scan the Reset
configuration barcode (cf. programming guide)
7.2 Usage modes
The Scanner has two (2) usage modes. These modes can be changed with the BaracodaManager or by
scanning configuration barcodes (refer to the programming guide).
7.2.1 Real Time Mode (default setting)
In real time mode, the barcode is decoded and transmitted to a remote device without delay. If set in real
time but not connected the Scanner can memorise up to 3,000 barcodes (Note 1) (UPC format) and, later,
once connected to a host device (if connected via BaracodaManager or USB/RS232 plug and play
dongle), it will simply automatically
upload all the barcodes stored to this remote device/terminal.
The Scanner can also be set in a RealTime without bufferisation. In this mode the reader will simply not
read (the trigger will simply not activate the laser beam) when the scanner is not connected.
In real time mode:
o Once connected to a host device, the scanner emits a beep.
o If you disconnect the scanner from its host, it emits a double beep.
In this mode, the scanner is considered as a slave: the Bluetooth connection is initiated by the host
device.
7.2.2 Batch mode
Once the batch mode is selected, the scanner LED emits an orange flash.
In batch mode, the barcode can read up to 3 000 barcodes (Note 1) and store them into its non-volatile
memory for later transmission to the host. When the internal memory is full, the LED will be full orange (no
blinking)
To upload barcodes you first have to connect to the host you want to upload the barcodes to:
Via BaracodaManager, you can configure your host to connect (or to automatically reconnect) to your
scanner or you can, by reading the appropriate configuration barcode, switch to master mode and to
connect to the host in master mode (more information on the programming guide).
Once connected, the scanner will wait the appropriate command in order to start uploading the barcodes:
this command can come
• from the Baracoda Manager (The user will have to click on the button Upload)
• From a barcode (the user will have to read the appropriate configuration barcode)
Be aware that there are two different ways to upload barcodes:
• To application window: In this case always double check before starting the uploading that the
cursor in your text window is active. Otherwise you will loose all the data saved into your scanner.
