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/D-Fly2 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/D-Fly2 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 : LXE 'Easy Pairing', Psion 'pairing
code'
A 'Psion pairing barcode' label can be found on Psion terminals. Format of this Code 128 barcode is
"<FNC4>LnkB xxxxxxxxxxx" with xxxxxxxxxxx corresponding to the Terminal Bluetooth address.
An 'easy pairing' barcode label can be found on LXE terminals. Format of this Code 128 barcode is
"<FNC3>Yxxxxxxxxxxx" with
- Xxxxxxxxxxx - the Terminal Bluetooth address
- Y has possible values: 'B','LNKB', 'LnkB'.
When the scanner reads one of the following barcodes (no control of barcode symbology):
LnkBxxxxxxxxxxxx
o

Bxxxxxxxxxxxx
o
it will:
1 Disable 'No data loss mode"
2 Set the 'Data format' to raw (no Baracoda header)
