===Using the OPN2002 with an Android Device===

-

Connecting an OPN-2002 with an Android device is a simple process. The unit must be configured into the proper mode, and in most cases a software wedge like [[OpticonRL]] must be present on the Android device to translate barcode data into keystrokes.

+

====Bluetooth HID mode====

+

Bluetooth HID is the easiest and fastest method for using your OPN2002 with an Android device. Unfortunately many older Android devices do not have support for Bluetooth HID, if your device does not support Bluetooth HID then please move on to the next section Bluetooth SPP.

+

# Ensure your Android device supports Bluetooth HID.

+

# Enable Bluetooth on your Android Device.

+

# Follow the instructions on the second page of the [http://ftp.opticonusa.com/OPN2002/Documents/OPN2002%20Bluetooth%20QSG%20Insert.pdf Quick Start Guide].

+

====Bluetooth SPP mode====

+

With older Android devices that do not support Bluetooth HID, we can use Bluetooth SPP with a software wedge like [[OpticonRL]] to translate barcode data into keystrokes.

This [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qc_Yh9Vacss video tutorial] may also be helpful, as it illustrates the process below.

-

Note that if you are using a Galaxy S, Galaxy S 4G, or any other Android device that supports HID-mode Profile, you do not need to follow these instructions. Instead, follow the instructions for HID-mode from the second page of the [http://ftp.opticonusa.com/OPN2002/Documents/OPN2002%20Bluetooth%20QSG%20Insert.pdf Quick Start Guide].

'''Initial Setup'''

# Install [[OpticonRL]] and the OpticonRL Soft Keyboard from the Android Marketplace or Google Play store. You can locate OpticonRL by searching for "OpticonRL" with no spaces.

If you would like to set the OPN-2002 to press ENTER after every barcode, print [http://opticonfigure.opticon.com/sl/?z=jP.4l.iq&a=4&b=0&d=1 this] Opticonfigure barcode sheet, then scan each barcode on it from top to bottom.

===As a Bluetooth-enabled Batch Scanner===

Your OPN-2002 is capable of memorizing data on command using one particular alternate firmware. These instructions will guide you through the initial set up and usage of your OPN-2002 as a Bluetooth batch scanner.

* "Transmit Memorized Data" forces the OPN-2002 to transmit any memorized data(if possible), but does not cause it to stop memorizing. It will attempt to connect to any paired device within range.

===With a Macintosh Computer in Bluetooth HID mode===

+

===Using the OPN2002 with a Macintosh Computer in Bluetooth HID mode===

Follow the instructions below to set up your OPN2002 with a Macintosh Computer in HID mode.

#The Mac should present you with an eight digit numeric pin code, and the OPN2002 should start beeping.

#Scan each of the eight digits respectively using the numbered barcodes on the Quick Start Guide, then scan end to complete the pairing.

+

===Using the OPN2002 as a batch mode data collector with the OPN200X PC applicaiton===

+

The steps below change the functionality of the OPN2002 so that it will act like the OPN2001 data collector.

+

#Download the "Firmware: OPN2001 Simulation Application" found in the [https://wiki.opticonusa.com/techsupport/en/OPN2002#Software Software Downloads Section] of this page.

+

#Use the firmware loading instructions detailed in the [https://wiki.opticonusa.com/techsupport/en/OPN2002#Firmware_Loading Firmware Loading] section of this page to load the firmware on to your OPN2002.

+

#Download the "All In One Installer Package" and the "OPN2001 PC Companion Application" from the [https://wiki.opticonusa.com/techsupport/en/OPN2002#Downloads Downloads Section] of this page. Install them on a windows computer. Note: these two items will need to be installed on every windows computer you will want to use to collect data from the OPN2002.

+

#Scan some barcodes, plug the OPN2002 into the computer and do a test. Note: more detailed use instructions can be found in the "User Manual: OPN2001 Simulation Application" which can be downloaded from the [https://wiki.opticonusa.com/techsupport/en/OPN2002#Downloads Downloads Section] of this page.

==Firmware Loading==

While there are multiple components to the firmware on an OPN-2002 (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.
