Data Capture for Workforce in Motion Introduction The RoadRunners Evolution scanner can be programmed by scanning barcode labels which contain commands for the decoder. Programming labels must be Code128, with specific starting and ending characters. These labels will always be read, even if Code128 symbology is disabled. The scanner will acknowledge a good and valid programming barcode label reading with two beeps and a green enlightening of the led.
Data Capture for Workforce in Motion 1. General Configuration 1.1. General default settings The reading of the "Reset to factory settings” label turns all the parameters of the scanner back to default settings and switches it off Reset to factory settings RoadRunners Evolution –L (1D) & -LA (Laser) – Programming Guide v1.
Data Capture for Workforce in Motion 1.2. 1.2.1. Baracoda advanced features Switch on delay In order to switch on the scanner in its standard mode, you should just press the trigger. You can set up the scanner to be switched on only after keeping the trigger pressed for two (2) seconds by reading the appropriate barcode. Switch on delay : 2 seconds \ V T \ V T z \ N U L \ S O H \ E T X \ F F \ F F Switch on delay : 0 second (*) 1.2.2.
Data Capture for Workforce in Motion 1.2.4. No data loss mode and Baracoda Header Baracoda header: It is a proprietary data encapsulation. It is necessary to activate it to use the Baracoda keyboard emulation (Kemul) and Terminal. The Baracoda header is enabled in default settings No data loss mode: Baracoda has developed a proprietary communication protocol in order to enhance the security of the Bluetooth transmission.
Data Capture for Workforce in Motion 1.3. Reading Mode In Trigger mode, pressing the trigger will activate the beam. Trigger (*) The Aiming trigger mode has been developed for users who need to scan barcodes very close one to another and they have to be sure to always read the correct one. Once in this mode, in order to read a barcode user will have to press the trigger twice.
Data Capture for Workforce in Motion The “No duplicate scan” option has been developed for users who do not want to scan twice the same barcode consecutively. « no duplicate scans » disabled (*) « no duplicate scans » enabled + error signal If the same barcode is scanned, an error signal is played (two beeps (lower tone) and a red enlightening of the led) « no duplicate scans » enabled + no decoding If the same barcode is trying to be scanned, it won’t be. The laser beam will still be enlightening.
Data Capture for Workforce in Motion 1.4. Operating Mode Real Time mode In real time mode, the barcode is decoded and transmitted to the remote host without any delay. If the scanner is not connected, the data is lost. Real Time mode with No Data Loss option If the No Data Loss option is activated and if the scanner is not connected or out of Bluetooth range, the scanner will store the data.
Data Capture for Workforce in Motion 1.4.1. Real Time mode Erases all captured data stored in memory and forces the scanner in Real time mode. No other setting is changed. Important reminder: if an ACK beep or buffer is needed, the scanner must be set in the “no data loss mode” first. Enable Real Time with « No Data Loss » mode Enable Real Time without « No Data Loss » mode 1.4.2.
Data Capture for Workforce in Motion Max Buffered Barcodes = MAX 1.4.5. Batch mode BATCH MODE Forces the RoadRunners Evolution in Batch mode.
Data Capture for Workforce in Motion 1.5. The different connection methods There are two (2) different way to create a connection from a Host and a scanner: Slave mode (by default) The Host (PC, BaracodaManager, …) is creating the connection onto the scanner. Master mode The scanner connects automatically to the Bluetooth address recorded in its memory. This connection attempt is launched after a scan of the connection barcode.
Data Capture for Workforce in Motion 1.6. Buzzer and Led Settings You can use these options to enable or disable the buzzer and / or the Led. LED ON (*) LED OFF Good read beep on (*) Good read beep off ACK beep on (*) ACK beep off Beep level volume = HIGH (*) Beep level Volume = LOW BUZZER ON (*) BUZZER OFF RoadRunners Evolution –L (1D) & -LA (Laser) – Programming Guide v1.
