3.4 How to connect your RoadRunners and BaracodaPencil2
1. Reset the scanner (see RoadRunners user guide: barcode to scan).
2.
Plug the dongle into the USB port of the computer
.
3. Wait 5 seconds for the host computer to recognize the USB Plug & Scan dongle. It is possible
that the host computer will not recognize the dongle: this can be corrected by going to the control
panel hardware wizard and searching for a USB HID device.
4. Do not scan any other barcodes except the ‘connect barcode’ that is delivered with the
dongle.
5. Within 5 seconds (not necessary to rescan), the connection is established. The scanner beeps
twice and right LED will change to a double flashing green.
6. Open up the target application (such as Notepad, Excel and Word). Make sure the application can
accept data from a keyboard and the active cursor is where you want the barcode information to
be placed.
7. Start scanning barcodes.
By default, the Plug & Scan USB dongle activates the RoadRunners “No Data Loss Mode”. (Please
refer to the paragraph 2.2 on page 4 for additional information.)
