Data Capture for Workforce in Motion Introduction The BaracodaPencil 2 can be programmed by scanning barcode labels which contain commands for the 1D decoder. Programming labels must be Code128, with specific starting and ending characters. These labels will always be read, even if Code128 symbology is disabled. The scanner will acknowledge a good and valid programming bar code label reading with two beeps and a green enlightening led. It will give two other beeps (lower tone) and a

Data Capture for Workforce in Motion 1.5/ Operating Mode Real Time mode (standard mode): barcodes are transmitted in real time to the remote host device/terminal (with optional acknowledgment beep from the host to the scanner). User can choose if the scanner, when not connected, should read, memorize and later automatically upload the barcodes or shouldn’t read the barcodes (no beam). Batch mode: Barcodes are stored in the scanner even if the reader is connected to a device. In order
