Version Differences for OPL9712 - Opticon Technical Support Portal

===About===

-

The OPL9712 is a wireless 1D terminal scanner, with bluetooth. It runs a low-level firmware, typically called the "OS", and on top of that runs an application, which essentially drives the behavior of the device and exposes a simple user interface on the OPL9712's LCD screen. The application can be customized in order to change the behavior of the OPL9278, using Opticon's [[C-Library Kit]] and the [[Toshiba C Compiler]]. This allows end-users to create custom applications modeled around their barcode-driven processes, making the OPL9712 a simple and flexible solution for many business needs. The only bluetooth profile supported is SPP.

The OPL9712 is a wireless 1D terminal scanner, with Bluetooth and a full numeric keypad. The Firmware on the device is supplied in two layers which we call the OS and Application. The OS enables all the underlying features of the device, while the Application enables users to interact with the device and control it. The application can be customized in order to change the behavior of the OPL9712 using Opticon's [[C-Library Kit]] and the [[Toshiba C Compiler]]. This allows end-users to create custom applications modeled around their barcode-driven processes, making the OPL9712 a simple and flexible solution for many business needs.

The OPL9712 is used in combination with a cradle (typically [[CRD9723]]) in order to charge the OPL9712's removable battery, transfer data serially to a host (using plain ASCII, XModem, or Opticon's [[NetO]]), and load new OS revisions and applications (using Opticon's [[Appload]]). Other types of cradles exist, including a dialup modem cradle and a GSM cradle, which OPL9712 applications can utilize with Opticon's [[TCP/IP Library]].

Currently the only Bluetooth profile this device supports is Bluetooth SPP-mode Profile. Opticon has implemented two data transmission protocols on top of SPP, called [[NetO]] and [[OSEComm]], and the OPL9712's OS also supports the XModem protocol. The device also supports raw ASCII output, which is useful in situations where no transmission protocol is desired.

The OPL9712 can be used in combination with a [[CRD9723 | cradle]] in order to charge its removable battery and transfer data serially to a host using a variety of supported protocols. Additionally, a [[CRD9723]] can be used to load new OS revisions and applications in conjunction with Opticon's [[Appload]]. Other types of cradles exist with a variety of features, including a charging-only cradle, dialup modem cradle, and a GSM cradle.

==Downloading Data==

All of Opticon's Demo Applications for the OPL9712 support downloading of data through Opticon's proprietary protocol called NetO (Net-Oh). As with all communications there are two sides. In this case these are the terminal (the OPL9712) and the host (usually a PC). This section covers setting up and using such a communication channel.
