==Using Bluetooth Real-time Scanning Mode with [[OpticonRL]]==

Using Real Mode with OpticonRL is largely the same as using Batch Mode. There are a few different settings that need to be set, and the behavior of the device will be different. If you are trying to use the device to scan and send barcode data in real time then this is the best option. The following sections will guide you through the initial out-of-box setup for Real-time Scanning Mode on the OPL-9712.

'''On the Device'''

#From Main screen, navigate to 'System Menu'->Bluetooth->'Clear BT Addr'. (Navigate up or down by pressing the '1' or '2' buttons, and select options by pressing the center key.)

#Choose 'Yes' when prompted.

When you are finished inputting your PIN code and you have confirmed it, the scanner will attempt to pair with the computer.

===On the Computer===

'''On the Computer'''

Windows will inform you that the OPL-9712 is attempting to pair. Follow the instructions from Windows, and enter the PIN code you selected earlier when prompted. After a few seconds the device will be paired.

From here, open up [[OpticonRL]]. Select 'Settings', and then the COM port for the OPL-9712. From the menu that pops out, select 'Toggle On/Off'. You can now scan barcodes with your OPL-9712. The barcode data will be placed wherever you have your cursor on the computer.

'''Using the OPL-9712 After the Initial Pairing'''

After the OPL-9712 has been paired with the PC, its use is relatively simple. Each time you wish to use the device, select 'Scan labels' from the main menu of the device, and wait for the 'Waiting Host Connection...'. On the computer, open up OpticonRL and select 'Settings', then the COM port from before, then 'Toggle On/Off'. The devices will connect back up and you can scan barcodes with the OPL-9712 as normal.
