About
The CRD3301B is a revision of the CRD3301 Bluetooth cradle and charger. It supports the OPR3301, OPI3301, and OPI-3301i. This version of cradle has a few differences from the original CRD3301 cradle:
- The CRD3301B no longer has dip-switches. The access hole and cover plate for the switches may still exist, but removing the plate will reveal no switches.
- The CRD3301B has a new label on the bottom which contains the OPTICON logo at the top, the PN: 13982.
- The CRD3301B uses OSE firmware (boot)
- It supports the OPR3301, OPI3301, and OPI-3301i.
Wired interface
- The Cradle will interface to the PC via type supports RS - 232C and USB.
- The cradle may be powered only by the USB connector, but then the charge current will be low and the time to charge will be much slower.
- We recommend to use the 6-volt power brick with the cradle for best charging performance.
- The cradle supports RS232C communications into a COM port on the PC
- The cradle supports USB-HID (Keyboard) mode input to the PC
- The cradle supports USB-VCP/COM mode communication by creating a virtual COM port on the PC.
Interface identification is done automatically by monitoring the power of the interface.
- When changing the type of interface to be used, be sure to turn off the power, change the setting of the scanner's connection destination, and read the BD address. It may cause malfunctions such as incorrect connection or failure to send the barcode data correctly to the host.
