Version Differences for PX-20 - Opticon Technical Support Portal

[[Image:PX20.png|right|thumb|PX20]]

==About==

The PX20 is the smallest programmable 2D Bluetooth data collector. With a fast integrated 2D CMOS scanner and when fully charged, offering operating times of up to 35 hours. In occasions where Bluetooth is not provided, access by the USB port enables (cabled) data transfer to any USB device.

The PX20 Bluetooth Companion Scanner enables real-time barcode scanning into any Bluetooth ready device.

===Changing the Volume===

To change volume options on your PX-20, please 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.

==Firmware Loading==

There are multiple components to the firmware on an PX20 (Bootloader, OS and Application), however 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===

# 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 PX20 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 PX20 from the PC. instruction manuals for the various applications are available for download in the Downloads section.

===Youtube tutorial===

We have a Youtube tutorial you can follow along with for the firmware loading steps. The scanner used in the video is different but the steps followed are the same.

<h2> Batch Mode </h2>

+

-

<p> This will make the scanner memorize the data and store it temporarily until the transmit data barcode is scanned

-

<ul>

-

<li> To put the PX20 in batch mode, Scan the +-MSTR-+ barcode. Device will then be in batch mode and will continue to store the data until the transmit data barcode is scanned. </li>

-

<li> To transmit the data and leave the device in batch mode scan the +-MXMT-+ barcode </li>

-

<li> To transmit the data and start scanning in real time mode scan the +-MSTP-+ barcode</li>

-

<li> To clear all temporary memorized data off the scanner, scan the +-MCLR-+ barcode </li>

-

</ul>

==Alternative Modes==

In addition to the CSP2 support built into the PX20, it is also capable of functioning as either a USB Keyboard or a USB flash drive. Both of these modes eliminate the need for PC software.

+

-

===USB Flash Disk Mode===

+

===Batch Mode===

-

This mode is also referred to as USB-MSD mode. The Firmware: Storage Application must be loaded on the PX20 in order to enable this mode of operation. To install the Storage Application, follow these [[#Firmware_Loading|firmware loading]] instructions. Once the storage application is loaded, print and scan [http://opticonfigure.opticon.com/sl/?z=Fi&a=4&b=0&d=1 this] sheet of barcodes to configure the device to act as a flash disk.

+

This will make the scanner memorize the data and store it temporarily until the transmit data barcode is scanned

-

Once that's finished, scanning barcodes is as simple as pressing a button. When you want to download your barcode scans, plug the PX20 into a computer, and copy the text file out of the flash drive. For more configuration options, see the [[#Documents|User Manual: Storage Application]]. In particular, the very last page has barcodes which can be scanned to configure the layout of the text file.

+

*To put the PX20 in batch mode, Scan the +-MSTR-+ barcode. The device will then be in batch mode and will continue to store the data until the transmit data barcode is scanned.

+

*To transmit the data and leave the device in batch mode scan the +-MXMT-+ barcode

+

*To transmit the data and start scanning in real-time mode scan the +-MSTP-+ barcode

+

*To clear all temporary memorized data off the scanner, scan the +-MCLR-+ barcode

-

To delete the barcodes from you scanner, use the Format barcode in the above manual.

===USB Keyboard Mode===

To use the PX20 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 [[##Firmware_Loading|update firmware]] to the latest version of the Firmware: OPN2001 Simulation Application to enable the feature.

-

===OPN2001 Simulation===

-

To use the PX20 with the OPN Companion Application, first the Firmware: OPN2001 Simulation Application must be loaded on to the PX20. To install the OPN2001 Simulation Application, follow these [[#Firmware_Loading|firmware loading]] instructions. You may also need to print and scan this [http://opticonfigure.opticon.com/sl/?z=kZ-1&a=4&b=0&d=1 barcode sheet].

===USB 4.0 Bluetooth Low Energy Mode===

Bluetooth Low Energy mode provides reduced power consumption and cost while maintaining a similar communication range as a standard Bluetooth connection. iOS, Android, Windows Phone, Blackberry, macOS, Linux, Windows 8, and Windows 10 all support Bluetooth Low Energy connection. To enable this connection on your OPN-2006, print and scan this [http://opticonfigure.opticon.com/sl/?z=1cl&a=4&b=0&d=1 barcode sheet] from top to bottom.

+

==Alternative Firmware==

+

===Storage Application (MSD Mode)===

+

This mode is also referred to as USB-MSD mode. The Firmware: Storage Application must be loaded on the PX20 in order to enable this mode of operation. To install the Storage Application, follow these [[#Firmware_Loading|firmware loading]] instructions. Once the storage application is loaded, print and scan [http://opticonfigure.opticon.com/sl/?z=Fi&a=4&b=0&d=1 this] sheet of barcodes to configure the device to act as a flash disk.

Once that's finished, scanning barcodes is as simple as pressing a button. When you want to download your barcode scans, plug the PX20 into a computer, and copy the text file out of the flash drive. For more configuration options, see the [[#Documents|User Manual: Storage Application]]. In particular, the very last page has barcodes that can be scanned to configure the layout of the text file.
