 To use the OPN2003 in USB Keyboard Mode, print and scan this [http://opticonfigure.opticon.com/sl/?z=ki&a=4&b=0&d=1 barcode sheet]. You may also need to [[#Loading_Firmware|update firmware]] to the latest version of the Firmware: OS and Firmware: Application to enable the feature.
 								==Loading Firmware==
 								While there are multiple components to the firmware on an OPN-2003 (Bootloader, OS and Application) the instructions to load them individually or all together are the same. In most cases, all you'll need to do is load the OS, and the proper Application file for your needs.
 								===Preparation===
 								# Download both the [http://ftp.opticonusa.com/Downloads/OPN2003%20Firmware%20-%20OS.zip Firmware: OS], and [http://ftp.opticonusa.com/Downloads/Appload.zip Appload] for this process. You may also need Opticon's [http://ftp.opticonusa.com/Downloads/USB%20Drivers%20Installer.zip USB Drivers], so please download those as well.
 								# Download the appropriate Firmware: Application file for your needs. This is most likely to be the [http://ftp.opticonusa.com/Downloads/OPN2003%20Firmware%20-%20Application%20RFF3510x.zip OPN2001 Simulation Application], however there are other Applications available. A complete list can be found in the [https://wiki.opticonusa.com/techsupport/en/OPN2003#Software Downloads Section] at the bottom of the page.
 								# Extract the OPN2003 Firmware - OS.zip file, the Appload.zip file, the USB Drivers Installer.zip file, and the OPN2003 Firmware - Application files into a convenient folder.
 								# Install [[Appload]] by double-clicking the 'Appload Setup.exe' file, which will start the install wizard. The default values are sufficient for most people, so keep clicking 'Next' until you are finished. Appload will launch at the end of the install process.
 								# Connect the OPN-2003 to your PC
 								===Install the Firmware===
 								# Launch Appload if it is not already running.
 								# We first need to choose the correct COM port. From the main Appload window, select 'Settings' > 'Port', then choose the port that says 'Opticon USB Code Reader'.
 								# Now we can start downloading the OS and Application. For each of the .hex files you downloaded and extracted above, please choose 'File', then 'Download', then navigate to and select the file. You should see a progress indicator and the words 'Initializing IRdA' if this is working.
 								# When complete the OPN-2003 will emit a series of beeps and reboot. When the LED is steady RED (indicating charging) or GREEN (indicating fully charged) the process is complete and you may disconnect your OPN-2003 from the PC. instruction manuals for the various applications are available for download in the Downloads section.

 								! scope="row" | Does the scanner have an internal serial number that can be output as part of the scanned data?
 								| Yes, although we currently only have one PC side application that will put the serial number in the file with the scanned data, the "OPN2001 Data Downloader" application.
 								| No
 								| Yes, although we currently only have one PC side application that will put the serial number in the file with the scanned data, the "OPN2001 Data Downloader" application.
 								| Yes, this is a configurable option. Data is transferred using the NETO32 program or a custom program using the NETO protocol.
 								| Yes, although we currently only have one PC side application that will put the serial number in the file with the scanned data, the "OPN2001 Data Downloader" application.

 								! scope="row" | Can the scanner be setup to include scanned data time stamp?
 								| Yes, using most of our PC side applications including the "OPN2001 Data Downloader" application.
 								| Yes
 								| Yes, using most of our PC side applications including the "OPN2001 Data Downloader" application.
 								| Data stored as Database file (multiple scans of same barcode increases quantity rather than adding new lines to the file, also this means the time stamp only exists for the most recent scan of the specific barcode)
 								| Yes, using most of our PC side applications including the "OPN2001 Data Downloader" application.

 								==FAQ==
 								===Can the OPN2003 be used in USB Keyboard mode as well as CSP2 mode?===
 								Yes, while in this mode you don't need to use the PC Companion Application to retrieve barcode scans. Simply plug the device in, open up Notepad or other software capable of receiving keyboard input, and press the small key on the OPN2003 and it will transmit stored barcodes. You can also scan barcodes in real time while plugged in.
 								===My OPN2003 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.
