USB Plug & Scan Dongle - User Guide

1 Introduction

The USB Plug & Scan dongle simplifies the connection between the Baracoda scanners (BaracodaPencil,
BaracodaPencil2, 2604 series and RoadRunners series) and all laptops, PCs (no Macintosh products),
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 & Play 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
scanner, and the Bluetooth connection will be automatically established.
