| User Manual: Storage Demo |
This is the user manual for the standard storage demo, which is designed to demonstrate the OPN2003's storage (batch) capabilities. It is meant mostly to demonstrate how to store barcodes for customers that want to create their own customized, embedded application. |

| User Manual: OPN2001 Simulation Application |
This manual describes the usage of the OPN2001 Simulation Application, an embedded application published by Opticon for the OPN2003, that enables the OPN2003 to behave as an OPN2001 with regard to user behavior and PC interaction. Windows and Mac software specifically written for the OPN2001 is required to transfer or receive data from an OPN2003 running this application. |

| Appload |
Appload is Opticon's multi-purpose utility for installing firmware onto devices such as the OPN2003. Currently Windows only. |
Download |
| Firmware: Bootloader |
This is the lowest level of firmware. |
Download |
| Firmware: OS |
One of two pieces of firmware required for the proper functioning of the OPN2003. Appload (see above) is required for loading the OS onto the OPN2003. |
Download |
| Firmware: Storage Demo |
This standard demo application provides batch storage of scanned barcodes. As this demo does not enable Bluetooth pairing or data transmission, all data must be transferred to a host (typically a Windows PC) via USB. Appload (see above) is required for loading this application onto the OPN2003. |

| OPN-2001 PC Companion Application |
While this software was originally intended for use only with our OPN-2001 product, the OPN-2002 and OPN-2003 both are capable of running an OPN-2001 emulator program directly on their hardware that allows them to behave exactly as an OPN-2001. In such circumstances this PC application is required to get your data from the OPN. |
Download |
| OPN-2003 Macintosh Companion Application |
Similar to the PC companion application this version is for the Macintosh OS X platform. Note that due to a known issue this version only supports automatic polling mode (automatically downloading and deleting your data from the OPN as soon as it is plugged in to the Mac). |
Download |
| SDK: C-Library Kit |
The OPN2003 SDK is called the C-Library Kit. Embedded applications are written in C and are compiled with the WinARM GCC compiler. The compiler, source files, API information, libraries, sample code, and examples are provided in the download. |

| All In One Installer Package |
USB-to-serial drivers installer package for both 32 and 64 bit versions of Windows XP (32 bit only), Vista, and 7. This package contains two drivers. The first driver is for the OPN-200x as well as many of Opticon's other products. The second driver is for Opticon's cradles and a few other products. You can choose any of the drivers to install on the first screen of the installer program. |

Setup & Configuration
Usage
Upgrading
While there are multiple components to the firmware on an OPN-2003 (Bootloader, OS and Application) the instructions to load them individually or all together are the same. You simply choose the appropriate file(s) during the right part in the process. All files available from Opticon are found in the Downloads section of this page. In addition to the individual files there are also combination files which are all three components bundled together into a single file for easy installation. It is recommended to use these combination files. As the Bootloader and OS files will always be the same you simply choose the combination file for the application you wish to load.
- Bootloader files are provided by Opticon and always follow the naming convention beginning with RAFV (e.g. RAFV0306.hex).
- OS files are provided by Opticon and always follow a naming convention beginning with RBFV (e.g. RBFV0217.hex).
- Application files are provided by Opticon but could also be provided by a reseller, distributor or developed on ones own by using the freely downloadable SDK (See the downloads section). If provided by Opticon the application files will almost always follow a naming convention beginning with RFF (e.g. RFF35106).
- Download necessary files.
- Firmware: This would be either the Bootloader, OS, Application or combination file from the Downloads section.
- Appload: This is the loader program for the PC that installs the firmware file onto the unit. See the download section.
- USB Drivers: These drivers are necessary so that Windows will provide a COM port that Appload needs to communicate with the device. Both 32 bit and 64 bit versions are found in the downloads section.
- Install USB Drivers (If you need assistance with this please contact Opticon Technical Support by e-mail at support@opticonusa.com or by phone at 1.800.636.0090 x2127).
- Install Appload
- Unzip the file Appload EAGV0142.zip by right-clicking and selecting 'Extract All'
- double-click the resulting file 'Appload Setup.exe' which will start the install wizard. You may need to select 'next' a few times and are allowed to choose the install folder and whether Appload places an icon on your desktop. You may simply choose the defaults for all options. Appload will launch at the end of the install process.
- Connect the OPN-2003 to your PC
- Install the firmware
- Launch Appload (if it is not already running).
- select 'Settings' > 'Port' > choose the port that says 'Opticon USB Code Reader(1D)'
- select 'Settings' > 'IrDA Adapter/Cradle type' > 'Not installed'
- select 'File' > 'Download' > browse to the firmware file downloaded in step 1 and select it.
- When complete the OPN-2003 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 OPN-2003 from the PC. instruction manuals for the various applications are available for download in the Downloads section.
