OPN-4000i
The OPN4000i Bluetooth Companion Scanner (contains a 1D CCD Module) enables real-time barcode scanning into any Bluetooth ready device including Android, iOS, Blackberry and Windows.
-OVERVIEW-
- The OPN4000i is certified as a MFi device (Made For iDevices) https://developer.apple.com/programs/mfi/
- The OPN4000i Does NOT have an application layer, so there is no Opticon SDK "Application" development software for the OPN device itself.
- The OPN4000i can support added characters to the data such as Time & Date stamping or changes to the prefix & suffix of the data.
- The OPN4000i does NOT have Data Wizard or Data Edit capabilities.
- The developer may however create their own iPhone/iPad like program (similar to our AppStore downloadable OPNTerm program)
- To do that, the developer must download & use Apple’s XCode platform: https://developer.apple.com/xcode/
- The SDK document instructions & SDK-Bluetooth framework should help a MFi developer with the OPN4000i specific information.
Data Wizard / Data Edit
Data Wizard and Data Edit capabilities are not currently supported as a standard feature in the OPN4000i product.
However, if data qualifying or data output manipulation is required, please contact our technical support group with your requirements and we may be able to provide a solution.
Application Programs
The OPN4000i product does not supported a software application layer like other OPN2xxx companion devices.
Date and Time
The date and time may be added to the output of the OPN4000i by setting the code $TM as a suffix using this configuration sheet
Batch Mode
Batch mode will be enabled when the device is no longer connected via bluetooth.
However, once reconnected, the data will begin streaming immediately. It is recommended that you have a text editor or application open, assuming the OPN4000i is in BT-HID mode, so that the data has somewhere to go. To cause the OPN4000i to wait for a button press before streaming, scan this configuration sheet.
To sever the Bluetooth connection, hold down the trigger/scan button until you hear a disconnect tone (or scan the "Manual Disconnect" scan code '+-DISC-+' - See the Universal Menu Book for the menu scan code symbols) -- This action just disconnects from the current Bluetooth host computer until it has something else to send.
To keep from auto-connecting after a regular symbol scan, scan the menu code to disable the Bluetooth auto-connect 'DIAU'. otherwise, the device will try to re-connect to the Bluetooth device after any normal scan.
NOW: scan all bar codes into storage.
When your application is open and ready in your host and you are in-range, scan the auto-connect menu code 'ENAU' or just hold down the trigger/scan button until you see the blue LED indicator flash - it should re-connect to the last paired device AND:
- If configured for HID mode - it will dump the data into the open application, like a keyboard entry.
- If in SPP mode, it will dump the data into the computer's appropriate COM port.
- If in MFi mode, it will dump the data into the appropriate iOS application program.
