3. Do not scan any other barcodes except the ‘connect barcode’ that is delivered with the dongle.
4. The LED on the scanner will start double flashing green: you are now connected! (*)
5. Start scanning barcodes.
(*) If the LED on the BaracodaPencil is not double flashing green, this may possibly mean:
The BaracodaPencil is low on power. Charge the unit up completely and try again
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”
By default, the Plug & Scan dongle activates the “No Data Loss Mode”. (Please refer to the paragraph 2.3
