Introduction
This document concerns the RS232 dongle Plug & Scan v3.28 (see “Print Firmware Version” section for how to
get the firmware version).
The RS232 Plug & Scan dongle is a connectivity solution and allows to simplify the connection between the
Baracoda scanners and all laptops, PCs, Tablet PCs, or all devices equipped with a RS232 COM port.
The Baracoda RS232 Plug & Scan dongle has the Bluetooth drivers and the Bluetooth application embedded in
the RS232 device. This configuration avoids the installation of the drivers and the software for the end-user.
The RS232 Plug & Scan solution allows users to have an acknowledgement beep, automatic reconnection, and
bufferisation of the incoming barcode data. Bufferisation of the barcode data allows the Baracoda scanner to
store incoming barcodes even when the scanner is not connected to the dongle (this is the ‘No data loss mode’)
Simply plug the RS232 Plug & Scan dongle in your computer, scan a “connect barcode” with a Baracoda
barcode scanner, and the Bluetooth connection will be automatically established.
NOTE:
Please note that the BaracodaManager software for PC does not work
with Plug & Scan solutions.
