===USB-HID with the Alternate OS ===
|
| - |
This firmware variant can operate in two modes. First, it will operate in Classic mode which is identical in every way to the main OPN2001 firmware.
|
+ |
There is a firmware variant for the OPN2001 that allows it to operate in either classic mode or in a USB-HID (keyboard) mode.
|
| |
|
|
|
| - |
Second, it will operate as a USB-HID (keyboard) batch or real-time scanner. When disconnected it will store barcodes and then when the trigger is pressed the first time after reconnecting to a PC it will simply download all data off of the unit and onto the PC wherever the cursor happens to be (Excel, Notepad, etc).

====How to Configure the OPN2001 in HID Mode====
|
| |
|
+ |
To acquire the features of the Alternate OS you must first load the Alternate OS firmware file and configure the OPN2001.

Changing the scanner from Classic mode to USB-HID mode will require us to scan some barcodes. Opticon's Opticonfigure tool can be used to generate barcodes to use in configuring all of our scanners.
|
+ |
====About Classic Mode====
|
| |
|
+ |
Classic mode is identical in every way to the main OPN2001 firmware.
|
| |
|
|
|
| - |
Barcodes you can use to switch between Classic mode, and USB-HID (keyboard) mode, can be downloaded by clicking [http://ftp.opticonusa.com/Downloads/USBHIDandUSBVCP.pdf this link].
|
+ |
====About Keyboard Mode====
|
| |
|
+ |
USB-HID (keyboard) mode allows the scanner to function as a batch scanner when disconnected from the computer and a real-time scanner when connected.
|
| |
|
+ |
*Real Time- To use the OPN2001 scanner as a real time scanner, configure it in HID mode, plug it into the computer and scan barcodes.
|
| |
|
+ |
*Batch- When disconnected it will store barcodes. You can then bring it back to the PC, and plug it in to retrieve the data. When the trigger is pressed the first time after reconnecting to a PC it will transmit all data off of the unit and onto the PC wherever the cursor happens to be (Excel, Notepad, etc).

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. |
