Introduction
The D-Fly or D-Fly2 are easy to use. Just press the trigger button in order to switch on the scanner and simply
press it again to scan a barcode. The colours of the LED and the frequency of the flashing LED indicate the
status of the device. The Scanner will “beep” in different ways and the LED will flash to indicate the status of
the D-Fly/D-Fly2 scanner. Some examples of D-Fly/D-Fly2 scanner status changes are “connected”, “good
read”, “not connected”, and more. The “No Data Loss Mode” function on the D-Fly/D-Fly2 will store the last
fifty (50) barcode scans and this mode can be activated or deactivated by the end user.
Barcodes are transmitted in real time to the remote host device or terminal using Bluetooth wireless
technology. You can download all software updates and additional documentation from our website:
