8.4.1
Baracoda Header
It is a proprietary data encapsulation. It is necessary to activate the Baracoda header in 2 cases:
•
to use the Baracoda keyboard emulation (Kemul) and Hyper terminal
•
to use the acknowledgment function.
You can configure Baracoda Header through BaracodaManager.
The Baracoda header is enabled in default settings
8.4.2
No data loss mode:
Baracoda has developed a proprietary communication protocol in order to enhance the security of the
Bluetooth transmission.
Every barcode sent to the host must be acknowledged by the host (until then, the scanner will transmit it again
and again).
This acknowledgment is disabled in default settings. It is strongly recommended to set this protocol
acknowledgment on when using the scanner with the BaracodaManager.
Additionally, this protocol acknowledgment allows having an audio acknowledgment that the barcode has
been successfully transmitted to the host.
You can configure or disable the scanner acknowledgement through BaracodaManager.
8.4.3
Prefix / suffix
You can add a prefix and/or a suffix to every barcode sent to the host device.
You can configure prefix/suffix through both BaracodaManager and programming guide.
There is no prefix/suffix in default settings
8.4.4
Barcode Identifier
The scanner can transmit max. 3-digit barcode identifier code for different types of barcodes (symbologies).
If the option is selected, the barcode identifier is added at the beginning of the barcode frame
