Introduction

Scanning a series of programming bar code labels can
confi gure the scanner.
The scanner must be properly powered before programming.
The scanner will acknowledge a good and valid programming
barcode label reading with two beeps and a green
enlightening. 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.

PROGRAMMING OPTIONS:

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

RoadRunners BRR-L & BRR-LA Programming guide Nov 2007

1/ Introduction

Please verify that your Roadrunners has a firmware version equal or superior to 3.1 before using it with this
programming Guide. Some functionality 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.

RoadRunners BRR-L & BRR-LA Programming guide Nov 2007

2/ General Configuration

2.1/ 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.

Reset to factory defaults

2.2/ 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.

Empty memory

2.3/ Baracoda advanced features

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.

2.3.1/ Switch on delay

Switch on delay : 2 seconds

Switch on delay : 0 second (*)

© Baracoda 2007 4/29

RoadRunners BRR-L & BRR-LA Programming guide Nov 2007

2.3.2/ Shutdown timers

There are two differents ‘shutdown timers’ :

- when connected timer : delay between the last scanned barcode and the switch off when the

scanner is connected to a host

- Not connected timer : delay between the last scanned barcode and the switch off when the

scanner is not connected to any host

It is possible to set those timers to ‘infinite’. In that case, the scanner will stay all the time ON.

Set shutdown timers to infinity

By default, timers value are :

when connected timer = 20 minutes
Not connected timer = 10 minutes

Set shutdown timers to defaults

2.3.3/ 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.

Noted that the timestamp must fit the specific following format:

{YY} {MM} {DD} {HH} {MM} {SS}

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

© Baracoda 2007 6/29

RoadRunners BRR-L & BRR-LA Programming guide Nov 2007

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,

- “5” label,

- “2” label,

- “5” label,

- “0” label,

- “0” label,

- “end of config” label.

2.4/ 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.

2.5/ 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

2.5.1/ Real time mode

Important reminder: if an 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.

REAL TIME with ACK beep and bufferisation.

Forces the RoadRunners in Real Time mode (with

data acknowledgement). Erases all codes in

memory. The BRR should have been previously set

in the “No data loss mode” ON.

REAL TIME without ACK beep and buffersiation.

Forces the RoadRunners in Real Time mode
(without data acknowledgement). Erases all codes
in memory. The BRR should have been previously

set in the “No data loss mode” ON.

© Baracoda 2007 8/29

RoadRunners BRR-L & BRR-LA Programming guide Nov 2007

2.5.2/ Batch mode

BATCH MODE. Forces the

RoadRunners in Batch mode.

Erases all codes in memory.

When in batch mode, The BRR 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.

Æ For CPU firmware versions <3.16, only the following upload barcode is available:

Upload batch data

When scanning this barcode, the BRR will send all barcodes in memory using the Baracoda header, with “no data
loss mode” OFF.

Æ For CPU firmware versions ≥3.16, this upload barcode is available:

Upload batch data with no data loss mode

This upload process consists in switching temporarily the BRR into Real time with “no data loss mode” ON (all the
barcodes in memory will be sent using the no data loss protocol). Then the BRR switches back to batch mode
when all the barcodes are properly sent.
