introduction
2.1 Status of the Barcode scanner – USB dongle link
The USB Plug & Scan dongle is only able to establish point-to-point connections.
This means that the USB dongle cannot connect simultaneously to more than one device.
The USB Plug & Scan dongle can have 3 states:
•
Disconnected
: The dongle can accept connections from any Baracoda scanner (see how to
connect your Baracoda scanner).
•
Paired and waiting for connection
: The dongle has already been paired to a Baracoda scanner.
Just switch on this scanner inside the Bluetooth range of the USB dongle and the connection will
be automatically established.
This mode allows other Baracoda scanners to connect to the USB dongle. Scan the “connect”
barcode, then the previous Baracoda scanner will disconnect and the new Baracoda scanner will
connect to the dongle.
•
Connected:
The USB dongle is connected to the Baracoda scanner. Just scan barcodes and the
data will be transmitted to your active application.
This mode allows other Baracoda scanners to connect to the USB dongle. Scan the “connect”
barcode, then the previous Baracoda scanner will disconnect and the new Baracoda scanner will
connect to the dongle.
2.2 CAPS LOCK function
The USB Plug & Scan dongle can unactivate the CAPS LOCK key on the HOST.
