Baracoda TagRunners – User Guide v2.3 - 14 -
Data Capture
for Workforce
in Motion
The different connection methods
The only way to create a connection from a Host and a reader is the Slave mode. The Host (PC,
BaracodaManager, …) creates the connection onto the scanner.
The MASTER mode is not available for this product.
The different reading modes
TagRunners has three (3) reading modes. These modes can be changed with the BaracodaManager software
(v3.35 min).
Trigger mode (default setting)
Simply press the trigger when you want to read a RFID Tag.
Autoscan mode
This mode enables to read continuously. In Autoscan mode, the RFID antenna is continuously on.
Smart Autoscan mode
For a battery power consumption optimisation issue, in this mode the RFID antenna is not always activated,
and the TagRunners reads by intermitent.
Manual Autoscan mode
Scanner behavior: when this capture mode is selected, pressing the trigger will switch ON the capture module
(beam & decoder) and keep it ON until the trigger is pressed again.
Note: in the case the trigger is not pressed the second time (to stop the manual autoscan) the beam will stay on
until the shutdown timer expires. When the scanner is switched ON, pressing the trigger will switch the beam on
continuously.
Option: TagRunners allows the “No duplicate scans” feature activation. It avoids user to scan consecutively
twice in the same RFID TagID. By default, this option is disabled, but can be changed with the
BaracodaManager software (v3.35 min).
