3. Getting started
This section shows the user how to configure the BaracodaManager to connect and use their barcode
reader(s).
Since the BaracodaManager version 3.38, two ways of connecting a reader are possible:
- using Bluetooth inquiry to find a reader and then connect it (available on all supported Bluetooth
stacks)
- using the Connect&Scan method (scanning a connect barcode) to connect a reader without launching
a Bluetooth inquiry (available only on the Microsoft Bluetooth stack)
3.1. Using Bluetooth inquiry to find readers
To configure the barcode reader(s):
1. Turn on the barcode reader(s) and the computer on which the BaracodaManager has been installed.
2. Double-click the BaracodaManager icon in the system tray (if you do not find the BaracodaManager
icon, start the BaracodaManager). The BaracodaManager window appears:
- the “Devices in Range” section of the window lists the barcode reader(s) the Baracoda
Manager finds within Bluetooth radio range
- the BaracodaManager displays a progress bar just below the above list while it searches for
discoverable barcode readers
Note: if the user has already run the BaracodaManager and configured their barcode reader(s), they should go
to step 9 below.
