The different ways to connect D-Fly to a host 

Baracoda proposes three (3) ways to simplify this process. Just choose the most appropriate one according to 
your specific needs. 

 

6.1.1.

 

For users: Complete Plug&Scan hardware solutions 

 

The  easiest  way  to  connect  a  Baracoda  scanner  with  a  host  computer  is  to  use  the  Baracoda  Plug  and  Scan 
Bluetooth  dongles.  Baracoda  offers  the  RS232  Plug&Scan  Bluetooth  serial  dongle  or  the  USB  Plug&Scan 
Bluetooth dongle to get connected to a host computer. To use one of these devices:  

1.

 

Plug the dongle into the USB port or into the RS232 port of the computer. 

2.

 

Wait 5 seconds for the host computer to recognize the Plug&Scan dongle. 

3.

 

Scan the “Connect barcode” available on the Plug & Scan dongle just once. 

4.

 

Within  less  than  20  seconds  the  LED  on  the  scanner  will  start  double  flashing  green:  you  are  now 

paired and connected!  

For  the  USB  Plug  and  Scan  Dongle:  Once  the  dongle  is  connected  to  the  D-fly  scanner  open  the  target 
application  (such  as  Notepad,  Excel  and  Word).  Make  sure  the  active  cursor  is  where  the  user  wants  the 
barcode information to be placed and start scanning barcodes. 

For the RS232 Plug and Scan Dongle, the application will have to receive the information from the serial port in 
order for the application to receive data from the serial port download the Kemul Software on the  Baracoda 
Website http://www.baracoda.com/ 

Pease  note  that  the  D-Fly  scanners  are  set  by  the  Baracoda  Plug&Scan  USB  in  “no  data  loss  mode”  ON  by 
default.  
The No Data Loss mode allows the reader to buffer barcodes if the barcodes are read out of range. 

 

6.1.2.

 

For users: software solutions 

 

 Baracoda provides two different software packages to manage the Baracoda Bluetooth barcode devices: 

-

 

K-Emul  lets  you  insert  the  scanned  barcode  value  in  the  selected  field.  It  also  allows  adding  a  prefix 

and a suffix.  

-

 

BaracodaManager is a user-friendly, advanced software that inserts the scanned barcode in a text field 

of    the  target  application  (Kemul  plug-in)  or  displaying    the  barcode  (Terminal  plug-in),  presents  the 
following  features:  very  easy  connection  (one  click  connectivity),  automatic  reconnection,    buffers 
data in memory and automatic re-transmission.  

 

Please  check  the  compatibility  for  some  specific  hosts  (see  BaracodaManager  compatibility  table  on 

www.baracoda.com

). 

How to quickly verify that your scanner is working correctly, using the BaracodaManager: 

1.

 

Make sure that your host device (PC or PDA) is Bluetooth enabled. If not, please contact your reseller.  

2. 

Install the BaracodaManager (updates can be downloaded from http://www.baracoda.com/). Refer to 
compatibility table for specific hosts.

 

If your Bluetooth software is not compatible, you can test your scanner with Hyperterminal or Kemul. Refer to 
Communication Protocol documentation. (Download on 

http://www.baracoda.com/download

.) 

3.

 

Configure the BaracodaManager. 

 

Start 

the 

BaracodaManager 

by 

selecting 

Start> 

Programs> 

BaracodaManager> 

BaracodaManager. The application automatically searches for wireless scanners.
