6 Quick Start up guide
6.1
How to read barcodes
In order to switch on the scanner please keep the trigger pressed for two seconds
Proper scanning position
Position the scanner so the light beam fully overlaps and crosses the bar code.
The scanner will emit a beep when the scan is successful.
Sample Bar code
*12345678-*
6.2
The different usage mode
RoadRunners can be used in two modes (see chapter 8.2 for more information):
Real Time mode (standard mode): Barcodes are transmitted in real time to the remote host
devices/terminals using Bluetooth wireless technology (with acknowledgment from the host to the
scanner) or, if the scanner is not connected, will memorise in the scanner and later automatically uploaded
to a remote device/terminal always using Bluetooth wireless technology (or RoadRunners can be set to
operate only when connected to the host).
Batch mode: Barcodes are always stored in the scanner. For security reasons the upload will not be
automatic (user will have the possibility to upload the barcodes in a text file or directly in keyboard
emulation)
6.3
The different reading mode
RoadRunners have two (2) reading modes. These modes can be changed through both the BaracodaManager
and the programming guide.
6.3.1
Trigger mode (default setting)
Simply press the trigger when you want to scan a barcode.
6.3.2
Autoscan mode
This mode enables you to scan continuously. In autoscan mode, the scan beam is not continuously on (for a
battery consumption issue) but flashes very fast. The rhythmic of the flashes becomes even faster when the
RoadRunners detect the presence of a barcode.
