1. Reset the scanner by taking out and replacing both batteries.
2. If the scanner has not been programmed to read the Code 128 symbology, scan the Code 128 active
barcode (“Code 128 on”). The scanner should beep. The LED should remain a single flashing light.
Immediately reset the scanner. This will clear the memory buffer and allow the pairing barcode to
operate correctly.

3. Plug the dongle into the RS232 COM port of the computer and switch it on.
4. Do not scan any other barcodes except the ‘connect barcode’ that is delivered with the dongle.
5. You will immediately get a “good read” confirmation beep from the scanner. In case you don’t get an
immediate double beep, simply reset your scanner and try again.
6. The scanner will beep a second time: the LED on the scanner will start double flashing green: you are
now paired and connected! (*)
7. Start scanning barcodes. Please note that the Plug & Scan dongle is not able to transmit 2D barcodes
with an amount of information bigger than 1080 characters.
(*) If the LED on the BL/BC/BLR2604 is not double flashing a green light, this may possibly mean:
•
The scanner is low on power. Charge the unit up completely and try again
•
The scanner has not been reset. Reset it and try again
•
The scanner 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 scanner shall
stay in its default mode “Code128 on”
