3 How to pair your Baracoda scanner
3.1
How to pair your BaracodaPencil
1. Reset your BaracodaPencil (see BaracodaPencil User guide to perform this operation).
2. Plug the dongle into the USB port of the computer.
3. Wait 5 seconds for the host computer to recognize the USB Plug & Scan dongle. It is possible that
the host computer will not recognize the dongle: this can be corrected by going to the control panel
hardware wizard and searching for a USB HID device.
4.
Do not scan any other barcodes except the barcode that pairs the scanner to the dongle.
5. Scan the pairing barcode and scan it just once.
6. Within less than 20 seconds, the LED on the scanner will start double flashing green: you are now
paired and connected! *
7. Open up the target application (such as Notepad, Excel and Word). Make sure the application can
accept data from a keyboard and the active cursor is where you want the barcode information to be
placed.
8. Start scanning barcodes.
• If the LED on the BaracodaPencil is not double flashing a green light, this may possibly mean:
The BaracodaPencil is low on power. Charge the unit up completely and try again
The USB Plug & Scan is not in its unpaired status. Unpair the unit
The BaracodaPencil has not been reset. Reset it and try again
The BaracodaPencil has been programmed from its default status and it is not able to
decode the Code 128 symbology. Be aware that the pairing barcode is a code128 and so
the BaracodaPencil shall stay in its default mode “Code128 on”
