Data Capture for Workforce in Motion

1.2.4.No data loss mode and Baracoda Header

Baracoda header:

It is a proprietary data encapsulation. It is necessary to activate it to use the Baracoda keyboard emulation (Kemul) and Terminal.

The Baracoda header is enabled in default settings

No data loss mode:

Baracoda has developed a proprietary communication protocol in order to enhance the security of the Bluetooth transmission.

Every barcode sent to the host must be acknowledged by the host (until then, the scanner will transmit it again and again).

This acknowledgment is disabled in default settings. It is strongly recommended to set this protocol acknowledgment on when using the scanner with the BaracodaManager.

Enable Baracoda header + “No Data loss mode” ON

Enable Baracoda header + “No Data loss mode” OFF (*)

Disable Baracoda header + “No data loss mode” OFF

1.3.Reading Mode

In Trigger mode, pressing the trigger will activate the beam.

Trigger (*)

The Aiming trigger mode has been developed for users who need to scan barcodes very close one to another and they have to be sure to always read the correct one. Once in this mode, in order to read a barcode user will have to press the trigger twice. Pressing it the first time will switch on the beam but will not switch on the decoder (thus allowing user to aim at the correct barcode) while pressing the trigger the second time will activate the decoder thus allowing the scanner to actually decode the barcode.
