BaracodaManager v3.20 User guide June 2005

Installation

To operate your barcode reader(s), you need to complete the following tasks in sequence:

>>Install the Baracoda Manager and Bluetooth driver software (if not installed yet)

>>Insert the Bluetooth dongle into the USB port (or enable any other Bluetooth adapter)

>>Configure the Baracoda Manager with your barcode reader(s).

To complete the first two tasks (installing the Baracoda Manager and the Bluetooth driver software, and inserting the

Bluetooth USB dongle):

1. Contact your Baracoda reseller to obtain the Baracoda Manager installation file.

2. Double click on the Baracoda Manager installation file:

for the PC version: BM_PC_v3.x.exe

3. Let the installation wizard guide you through the installation steps. Check the selection boxes:

Baracoda Manager

Start Menu Shortcut: this will cause the system to automatically start the Baracoda Manager

Drivers BTW 1.2.2.15: Baracoda highly recommends that you use the included Widcomm Bluetooth

driver, BTW version 1.2.2.15 or a later version. Uncheck the box if it is already installed.

REMINDER: Install the Bluetooth Driver software before you plug the Bluetooth USB dongle into the USB port, to

ensure correct operation.

4. Restart the computer.

5. Insert the Bluetooth USB dongle into the USB port.

6. Click OK to ignore the system's warning. The system installs the Bluetooth dongle. A Bluetooth Configuration icon

appears in the system tray in the lower right corner, indicating that Bluetooth wireless communication is active.

You are ready to complete the third task, configuring the Baracoda Manager with your barcode reader(s).
