Introduction
The USB Plug & Scan dongle is a Keyboard Emulation solution and allows to simplify the connection between
the Baracoda scanners and all laptops, PCs (for Macintosh with keyboard emulation v1.2 (*)), Tablet PCs, or all
devices that can accept a USB keyboard.
Normally, a USB Bluetooth Dongle requires the user to install the Bluetooth drivers in order to add the
Bluetooth connectivity to their host computer.
The Baracoda USB Plug & Scan dongle has the Bluetooth drivers and the Bluetooth application embedded in
the USB device.
This configuration eliminates the installation of the drivers and the software for the end-
user.
The USB Plug & Scan solution allows user to have an acknowledgement beep, automatic reconnection, and
bufferisation of the incoming barcode data. Bufferisation of the barcode data allows the Baracoda scanner to
store incoming barcodes even when the scanner is not connected to the dongle (this is the ‘No data loss
mode’).
Simply plug the USB Plug & Scan dongle in your computer, scan a “connect barcode” with a Baracoda barcode
scanner, and the Bluetooth connection will be automatically established.
NOTE: Please note that the BaracodaManager software for PC does not work
with Plug & Scan solutions.
