1.4. Operating Mode

In real time mode, the barcode is decoded and transmitted to the remote host without any delay. If the

scanner is not connected, the data is lost.

If the No Data Loss option is activated and if the scanner is not connected or out of Bluetooth range, the

scanner will store the data. It can memorise up to 10 000 barcodes (UPC format) and later automatica lly upload

them to the remote host when a Bluetooth connection is established to the host.

Every barcode sent to the host must be acknowledged by the host. If the host fails to send an

acknowledgement, the scanner will continue to transmit the barcode until the host does send an

acknowledgement.

This acknowledgment is disabled in the default settings. It is strongly recommended to set the No Data Loss

mode to ON. This configuration can b e set with the BaracodaManager software or with the Programming

Guide.

Additionally, this protocol acknowledgment allows an end user to set an audio acknowledgment indicating that

the barcode has been successfully transmitted to the host.

Barcodes are always stored in the scanner. Once the batch mode is selected, the BCL led (right) emits an

orange flash. In batch mode, the barcode can read up to 10 000 ba rcodes (UPC format) and store them into its

non-volatile memory for later transmission to the host. When the internal memory is full, both Leds will be full

orange (no blinking).

To upload barcodes from the scanner, connect it to the host computer via Blu etooth. The Baracoda Manager

software is used to configure the location where the barcodes are sent once the barcodes are extracted from

the scanner.

Once connected, the scanner will wait for the appropriate command in order to start uploading the barcodes:

this command can come from:

• The BaracodaManager: The user has to click on the button “Upload”.

• A configuration scan barcode: the user has to read the appropriate configuration barcode.

Be aware that with BaracodaManager, two (2) different ways to upload barcodes are possible:

• To an application window: In this case always double check before starting the upload

procedure that the cursor in your text window is active. Otherwise you will loose all the data

saved into your scanner.

• To a .txt file (default option). The BaracodaManager gives you the possibility to modify the

name of the file in which you may want to save the data.
