INTRODUCTION:

Please verify that your Roadrunners has a firmware version equal or superior to 2.5 before using it with this programming Guide. Some functionalities may not work with older versions of the firmware. Refer to the BaracodaManager documentation in order to know how to upgrade your scanner.

The RoadRunners can be programmed by scanning barcode labels which contain commands for the 1D 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 bar code label reading with two beeps and a green enlightening of both leds. It will give two other beeps (lower tone) and a red enlightening of the RSL led for either an invalid or bad reading.

Please do not read the programming barcodes while being connected to the BaracodaManager.

Programmable options are divided into 2 groups. The first group includes the options that show the general behaviour of the scanner. The second group sets the decoding parameters for each barcode symbology.

1 General Configuration

1.1 Reset all parameters:

The reading of the "Default settings” label turns all the parameters of the BRR-L back to default settings and switches it off.

1.2 Erase all barcodes in memory

The RoadRunners has the ability to store barcodes in its internal memory (both in batch mode and in Real Time with “No Data Loss Mode” ON). By reading the following barcode you will empty the internal memory of the scanner.

1.3 Baracoda advanced features

1.3.1 Switch on delay

In order to switch on the BRR-L 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 seconds by reading the appropriate barcode.

1.3.2 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 Hyper 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. Every barcode sent to the host must be acknowledged by the host (until then, the scanner will transmit it again and again).

This acknowledgment is disabled in default settings. It is strongly recommended to set this protocol acknowledgment on when using the scanner with the BaracodaManager.

Note that the timestamp must fit the specific following format:

The setting is made by scanning the 0-9 labels (Appendix 1) as on a calculator; following the timestamp format shown above.

For example: to set the current time at 16th May 2007, 3.25 pm, the user will scan:

- “Set Timestamp” label,

- “0” label,

- “7” label,

- “0” label,

- “5” label,

- “1” label,

- “6” label,

- “1” label,

- “2” label,

- “5” label,

- “0” label,

- “end of config” label.

1.4 Reading Mode

• In trigger mode, pressing the trigger will activate the beam.

• The Aiming trigger mode has been developped for users who need to scan barcodes very close

each others and they have to be sure to always read the corect one. Once in this mode, in order to read a barcode user will have to press the trigger twice. Pressing it the first time will switch on the beam but will not switch on the decoder (thus allowing user to aim at the correct barcode) while pressing the trigger the second time will activate the decoder thus allowing the RoadRunners to actually decode the barcode.

• In autoscan mode the beam will be continuously on

• In Smart Autoscan, for a battery power consumption optimisation issue, the scanner will be

continously flashing.

1.5 Operating Mode

Real Time mode (standard mode): barcodes are transmitted in real time to the remote host device/terminal (with optional acknowledgment beep from the host to the scanner). User can choose if the scanner, when not connected, should read, memorize and later automatically upload the barcodes or shouldn’t read the barcodes (no beam). Batch mode: Barcodes are stored in the scanner even if the reader is connected to a device. In order to upload the data the user will have to read the “discharge” barcode

1.5.1 Real time mode

Important reminder: if a ACK beep or bufferisation is needed the scanner must be set in the “no data loss mode” first. (See part 1.2.2.)

REAL TIME mode:

Erases all codes in memory and

forces the RoadRunners in Real time mode.

No other setting is changed.

1.5.2 Batch mode

When in batch mode, The BRR-L will wait the appropriate command in order to start uploading the barcodes: this command can come

• from the Baracoda Manager

• from reading the “discharge” barcode here after

If this barcode is read when the reader is in batch mode and connected, the reader will automatically upload to the host all the data in its memory. If not in batch mode and not connected the BRR-L will ignore this barcode.

The following barcode should be used only when connecting the RoadRunners in batch mode to a Plug&Scan dongle. Once the scanner is connected to the Plug&Scan dongle (user just need to read the paring barcode), this “Discarge and Reset” barcode allows the scanner to discharge the data and to reset the Dongle (thus allowing a different RoadRunners to connect to it). Please refer to the Plug&Scan RS232 or USB user guide for more information.

The following is a procedure to follow for every barcodes

START

Read « Start - Set min (Max) length » label

Read intermediary label from the below table

to select the desired symbology to configure

Read intermediary label

Corresponding to the next digit of the min (Max) length value to

apply (as on a calculator).

Finished ?

Read « END of config » label
