Version Differences for OPN-2004 - Opticon Technical Support Portal

The configurable OPN2004 Companion Scanner makes bar code data collection simple. Scan a bar code and it is automatically stored. Leverage the free OPN2004 Software Development Kit to customize scanning behavior for targeted applications in inventory control, healthcare and retail. For easy data transfer, the device is equipped with a standard USB port, which is also used to charge the internal battery. The OPN2004 stores up to 10,000 barcodes plus timestamps.

-

NOTE: PDF417 decoding is not available - Old datasheets mentioned that PDF417 & micro PDF417 is a valid symbology. However, the OPNs do not have the memory capacity to include the PDF417 algorithm.

+

*One-touch barcode scanning makes data collection simple and easy

+

*Fully-programmable with free OPN-2004 firmware development kit – optimize scanning behavior for target application

+

*Small form-factor (2.44” x 1.26” x 0.69”) device fits easily into pocket or on a key chain

+

*Ships pre-loaded with basic firmware scanning application for quick start up time

+

*Conveniently holds up to 10,000 barcodes in 1 MB of memory

+

===Factory Reset===

+

To factory reset the OPN-2004 please follow the below instructions.

+

* Ensure the OPN-2004 has sufficient charge (at the least the laser should come on with a trigger press when the unit is unplugged)

+

* Disconnect the OPN-2004 from any USB connections

+

* Press and hold both buttons (scan and clear) for 10 seconds

+

:At the end of the time you will hear a single tone indicating successful reset. While holding the keys the LED will flash RED (If it flashes any other color you are not holding both buttons firmly enough).

+

:'''Note''': It is possible to disable the factory reset option of the OPN-2004 with the SDK (and subsequently our Standard PC Demo Application). If this is disabled this feature will not work until re-enabled.

+

===Changing the Volume===

+

To change volume options on your OPN2004, please print and scan your desired setting from pages U124-125 in the

+

[[Universal menu book]]. To use these settings, scan the SET barcode followed by your desired setting and then the END barcode.

+

'''My OPN-2004 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.

==Application Development==

-

The OPN2004 firmware is split into two levels, an Operating System and an Application. The Operating System Exposes the functions of the hardware to the Application level firmware, and the Application determines how the device behaves. The Operating System is developed and maintained solely by Opticon, however anyone can make an application for the OPN2004 using using the [[#Software|C-Library Kit]]. For code samples please write [mailto:devsupport@opticonusa.com].

===SDK for OPN200x Host Applications===

There are currently APIs for developing applications to communicate with the OPN2004 on/with the following platforms/technologies:

-

Windows XP / Vista / 7 (32 and 64 bit)

+

*Windows

+

*ActiveX

+

*.NET

+

*Mac OS

-

ActiveX

-

.NET

-

Mac OS X

The [[#Software|OPN PC SDK]] contains nearly everything you would need to develop your own host application to interface with the OPN-2001, OPN2003, or OPN2004. Sample code and documentation are included, however compilers are not included. Please use a compiler appropriate for the operating system you are developing for: Windows, or Macintosh OS X.

==Migrating from the OPN2001 or the OPN2003==

To use the OPN2004 with the OPN Companion Application again, print and scan this [http://opticonfigure.opticon.com/sl/?z=kZ-1&a=4&b=0&d=1 barcode sheet].
