- ==FAQ==      
- '''My OPN-2001 has suddenly stopped beeping when I scan barcodes. Is it broken?'''      
- :It's possible that the beeper has been disabled using the beeper toggle feature. The beeper can be disabled or enabled without using a computer if you hold the large key for more than 10 seconds. To re-enable a disabled beeper, try holding this key for about 10 seconds. The OPN will sound a tone when the beeper is re-enabled.      
       
- '''I'm trying to integrate the OPN2001 ActiveX control with my Silverlight application, but when I try to create the opnCtl object, I get an exception. What's going on?'''      
- :The OPN2001 ActiveX control doesn't expose an Automation API, which is why the exception occurs. See the MSDN article about using Automation [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff457794%28v=VS.96%29.aspx here].      
       
- '''How can I communicate with the OPN2001 in my Java application?'''      
- :You could utilize the native OPN2001 library via JNI, making a JNI wrapper for the exposed functions.      
       
- '''Will applications written for the OPN2001 work with the [[OPN2002]] or [[OPN2003]]?      
- :Yes, if the OPN2001 simulation application - a piece of firmware for the [[OPN2002]] and [[OPN2003]] - is installed. The application simulates the behavior and protocol of the OPN2001, making it compatible with your OPN2001 applications.      
       
- '''Is the serial protocol of the OPN2001 available?'''      
- :No, we don't release that information. The recommended and authorized way of communicating with the OPN2001 is via its various APIs.      
       
- '''Is there a way to recover the saved data from an OPN2001 after the clear command has been sent?      
- :Unfortunately no - the OPN2001 firmware erases the flash sectors where the data was stored upon executing the clear command. Make sure that the data has actually downloaded before you issue the clear command!      
       
- '''Is polling optional or required?'''      
- :Polling is really meant to automatically detect when the OPN2001 has data, and then download it via a callback function. As such, it's not explicitly required.      
- The OPN-2001 is a small handheld wireless barcode reader capable of storing up to 10,000 barcodes at a time.

  By default, the OPN-2001 transmits an "Enter" key press after every barcode. To change this to a tab, or to change back to return, print this [http://opticonfigure.opticon.com/sl/?z=jP.7N.7M&a=4&b=0&d=1 barcode sheet] and scan SET, then the "Suffix for All Codes" barcode, followed by either the "Enter" or the "Tab" barcode, and finally END.    By default, the OPN-2001 transmits an "Enter" key press after every barcode.
