Version Differences for OPL9712 - Opticon Technical Support Portal

==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.

+

Depending on what you're trying to accomplish, you can either have the OPL initiate the connection, or have the host computer initiate the connection. The former might be more useful if you're away from the host device when you need to send data, while the latter would be more useful if you're at the computer when you need to connect with the OPL. If you're not sure what to pick, choose Slave Mode.

===PC-Initiated Connection(Slave Mode)===

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.
