If you are going to scan the barcodes
into the system one at a time, then
you
do not need
to set Range Gate
or Inventory mode. Also, if you are
using the Off-line program, you do
not need to set range Gate or
inventory mode as that accepts the
scans one by one.
Question - are you scanning in the cradle?
The scanner can either operate in a handheld mode or in the scanner. Using the hand held mode, one could scan
one of the bar codes printed on a piece of paper - or could scan a barcode label on the back of a name badge.
Either way -- the scanner is being operated out of the cradle. This is the default mode.
If you want to scan in the cradle -- so this means that your members are going to walk up to the scanner in the
cradle and place their barcode on the backside of the badge under the scanner -- and wait for the scanner to beep
-- meaning it recognized the barcode. If you want to work in this mode, you need to scan the "CodeGate Inactive
in Stand" barcode at the end of this document (or found in your scanner reference manual).
The CodeGate is the button at the top of the handheld scanner. If you leave this button in the factory default
position -- then the member will have to place his/her badge under the scanner AND press the CodeGate button.
Setting the button to "Inactive", will eliminate the need to press the button.
Testing Your Configuration
Before you go to enter attendance data using your new scanner -- test the configuration - practice the operation.
1) Print out the barcodes for your members. Even, if you have already printed barcode labels to put on member
badges -- print out a page or two of barcodes on a couple of 8 1/2 x 11 pieces of paper. These will be your
practice barcodes. We want to get a reasonable set of barcodes to practices with.
2) Startup Word, WordPad, Notepad or just about any kind of text editor you might use on your host device
(desktop or laptop).
4) Scan the barcodes.
a) If you are scanning barcodes one-by-one, with the USB connector connected to the laptop, the Bluetooth LED
light should be lit, and as you scan each barcode, you should see the UserID (or MemberID) numbers being
