The Opticon MDL4000 is a laser barcode scan engine with the smallest available form factor. OEMs needing to add laser scanning capability to medical or diagnostic equipment, mobile devices, kiosks and more will accelerate their design process with this tiny engine: the small size makes it easy to mount given the mechanical constraints of small, portable devices. The MDL4000 measures just 0.80 x 0.55 x 0.22 inches (20.4 x 14.0 x 5.5 mm). Opticon offers an Engineering Kit for the MDL4000 that lets design teams quickly evaluate the MDL4000. Opticon supports engineering teams throughout the evaluation cycle resulting in faster time to market with a superior laser engine. The MDL4000 features a 650 nm visible laser diode that scans bi-directionally at a rate of 100 scans/second.

====[[Universal Menu Book]]====
|
| |
|

The [[Universal Menu Book]] (UMB) is a PDF document that enabled you to change the most commonly changed settings on Opticon's scanners. The UMB also contains information about what the various settings do when they are enabled. The UMB covers the following topics.

* Interface Specific Settings
|
| |
|
+ |
* Code Opticons
|
| |
|

|
+ |
** Enabling/Disabling Symbologies
|
| |
|

====[[Opticonfigure]]====
|
| |
|
+ |
Opticonfigure serves primarily as a an online searchable Universal Menu Book (UMB), however it does have some notable differences. Opticonfigure is updated more frequently than the UMB. Opticonfigure also contains some menu options that were excluded from the UMB for the sake of brevity. Although more inclusive, Opticonfigure doesn't do as good of presenting information in an organized and comprehensible manner as the UMB does.
|

|

Opticonfigure allows you to:
|
| |
|
+ |
Create and print custom configuration sheets.
|
| |
|
+ |
Create custom configuration sheets and save them as PDF files.
|
| |
|
+ |
Create custom configurations and export OCG files.
|
| |
|
+ |
Create DataWizard configuration sheets.
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
+ |
====[[DataWizard]]====
|
| |
|
+ |
Data Wizard allows you to modify barcode data before transmission. Currently it is able to add or remove characters, adjust the length of the output data, and remove entire sections of the barcode prior to transmission. Commonly each configuration will be designed to match different sizes, symbologies, or characters in barcode data. So for example if a user wants to truncate a Code-39 barcode of a specific length, but add characters to a Code 128 barcode, you wold make two configurations.
