5 Quick Start up guide
5.1 How to read barcodes
In order to switch on the scanner please keep the trigger pressed for two seconds.
Proper scanning position
Start to read the barcode in the blank left space. Keep the scanner in contact with the barcode.
The scanner will emit a beep when the scan is successful.
5.2 The different usage mode
Scanner can be used in two modes (see chapter 8.2 for more information):
Real Time mode
(standard mode): Barcodes are transmitted in real time to the remote host
devices/terminals using Bluetooth wireless technology (with acknowledgment from the host to the
scanner) or, if the scanner is not connected, will memorise in the scanner and later automatically
uploaded to a remote device/terminal always using Bluetooth wireless technology (or Scanner can be
set to operate only when connected to the host).
Batch mode
: Barcodes are always stored in the scanner. For security reasons the upload will not be
automatic (user will have the possibility to upload the barcodes in a text file or directly in keyboard
emulation)
5.3 The different reading mode
BaracodaPencil 2 has two (2) reading modes. These modes can be changed through both the
BaracodaManager and the programming guide.
5.3.1 Trigger mode (default setting)
Simply press the trigger when you want to scan a barcode.
