Version Differences for PX20 - Opticon Technical Support Portal

+

==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.

+

When in Keyboard mode, the PX20 can scan in real time or store data in memory which can later be transmitted at the push of a button. In flash disk(MSD) mode the PX20 stores barcode scans into a text file on the device. The text file can later be accessed simply by plugging in the device.

+

===USB Flash Disk 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|Demo manual]]. In particular, the very last page has barcodes which can be scanned to configure the layout of the text file.

+

===USB Keyboard Mode===

+

This mode allows the PX20 to emulate a USB Keyboard. While the PX20 is plugged in, any barcodes that are scanned are input wherever the cursor is on screen. When a barcode is scanned while the PX20 is disconnected, the barcode is stored in memory. When you want to retrieve scanned barcodes, simply plug the PX20 into a computer, and press any key on the device to have it play back all of the barcodes that were scanned while it was disconnected.

+

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].

+

===Return to Bluetooth Mode===

+

To return the PX20 to Bluetooth mode, you will need to load the Firmware: Bluetooth Application. To install the Firmware: Bluetooth APplication, follow these [[#Firmware_Loading|firmware loading]] instructions.
