How to connect your BaracodaPencil/Pencil2
1.Reset your BaracodaPencil (see BaracodaPencil/Pencil2 User Guide to perform this operation).
2.Plug the dongle into the RS232 COM port of the computer and switch it on.
3.Do not scan any other barcodes except the ‘connect barcode’ that is delivered with the dongle.
4.The LED on the scanner will start double flashing green: you are now connected! (*)
5.Start scanning barcodes.
(*)If the LED on the BaracodaPencil is not double flashing green, this may possibly mean:
The BaracodaPencil is low on power. Charge the unit up completely and try again
The BaracodaPencil has not been reset. Reset it and try again
The BaracodaPencil has been programmed from its default status and it is not able to decode the Code 128 symbology. Be aware that the pairing barcode is a code128 and so the BaracodaPencil shall stay in its default mode “Code128 on”
By default, the Plug & Scan dongle activates the “No Data Loss Mode”. (Please refer to the paragraph 2.3 for additional information)
