Introduction
The D-Fly is easy to use. Just press the trigger utton in order to switch on the scanner and simply press it again
to scan a arcode. The colours of the LED and the frequency of the flashing LED indicate the status of the
device. The Scanner will “ eep” in different ways and the LED will flash to indicate the status of the D-Fly
scanner. Some examples of D-Fly scanner status changes are “connected”, “good read”, “not connected”, and
more. The “No Data Loss Mode” function on the D-Fly will store the last fifty (50) arcode scans and this mode
can e activated or deactivated y the end user.
Barcodes are transmitted in real time to the remote host device or terminal using Bluetooth wireless
technology. You can download all software updates and additional documentation from our we site:

4.2. The different usage modes
Real Time mode
In real time mode, the arcode is decoded and transmitted to the remote host without any delay. If the
scanner is not connected, the data is lost (Status Led: red flash).
Real Time mode with No Data Loss option
If the No Data Loss option is activated and if the scanner is not connected or out of Bluetooth range, the
scanner will store the data. It can memorise up to 50 arcodes (UPC format) and later automatically upload
them to the remote host when a Bluetooth connection is esta lished to the host.
Every arcode sent to the host must e acknowledged y the host. If the host fails to send an
acknowledgement, the scanner will continue to transmit the arcode until the host does send an
acknowledgement.
This acknowledgment is disa led in the default settings. It is strongly recommended to set the No Data Loss
mode to ON. This configuration can e set with the BaracodaManager software or with the Programming
Guide.
Additionally, this protocol acknowledgment allows an end user to set an audio acknowledgment indicating that
the arcode has een successfully transmitted to the host.

4.3. The different connection methods
There are two (2) different way to create a connection from a Host and a scanner:
-Slave mode (b default)
The Host (PC, BaracodaManager, …) is creating the connection onto the scanner.
-Master mode
The scanner is creating itself a connection to the recorded Host Bluetooth address. This connection
attempt is set after a scan of arcode. The configuration of Host address (on which the scanner will set
up a connection to) can e done:
oVia BaracodaManager software (v3.35 min).
oVia scan of arcodes.
All usage modes (Real Time, No Data Loss, Batch) are o viously availa le.

4.4. The different reading modes
D-Fly has two (2) reading modes. These modes can e changed through oth the BaracodaManager software
and the Programming Guide.
4.4.1. Trigger mode (default setting)
Simply press the trigger when you want to scan a arcode.
4.4.2. Aiming mode
The Aiming mode has een developed for users who need to scan arcodes very close one to another and need
to avoid reading a wrong code. Once in this mode, in order to read a arcode user will have to press the trigger
twice. Pressing it the first time will switch on the eam ut will not switch on the decoder (thus allowing user to
aim at the correct arcode) while pressing the trigger the second time will activate the decoder thus allowing
the D-Fly to actually decode the arcode.
