INTRODUCTION: 

Please verify that your Roadrunners has a firmware version equal or superior to 2.5 before using it with this 

programming Guide. Some functionalities may not work with older versions of the firmware. Refer to the 

BaracodaManager documentation in order to know how to upgrade your scanner.  

 
The RoadRunners 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 of both leds. It will give two other beeps (lower tone) and a red enlightening of the RSL led for either an 

invalid or bad reading. 

Please do not read the programming barcodes while being connected to the BaracodaManager.  

 
Programmable options are divided into 2 groups. The first group includes the options that show the general behaviour 

of the scanner. The second group sets the decoding parameters for each barcode symbology.
