Other   available   OPN2002   applications   

   
Besides   this   batch   demo   application   there   are   3   other   OPN   applications   available   on   our   
web   site   that   might   fit   your   specific   application   better.   
   

Software   V3510x,   V3727x:   OPN2001   simulation   demo   application   

   
This   application   turns   the   OPN2002/3/4   into   an   OPN2001   compatible   batch   scanner.   
V3510x   is   for   the   OPN2002/3;   V3727x   is   for   the   OPN2004.   
   
Besides   USB,   any   stored   barcode   data   can   also   be   retrieved   from   the   OPN2002   by   using   
Bluetooth.   
   
Use   this   OPN   application   in   combination   with   the   OPN2001   Demo   application   for   Windows   
(or   develop   your   own   application   using   the   SDK   that's   available   for   the   OPN2001).      
   
Note:   When   planning   to   use   the   OPN   solely   as   on   standard   OPN2001,   so   without   Bluetooth   
or   need   to   run   other   applications,   please   note   the   following   (hardware)   differences:   
   

 

The   battery   of   the   OPN2002/3   empties   quicker   than   the   battery   of   the   OPN2001   
when   rarely   used.   Approximately,   the   OPN2002/3   can   operate   normally   for   about   
30   days   when   it's   rarely   used.   

 

The   OPN   does   not   support   laser   aiming   (laser   dot)   

 

The   OPN   can’t   change   its   scan   angle   to   shorten   the   laser   line         

 

Unlike   the   OPN2001,   the   OPN2002/3   will   lose   its   time   and   date   within   4-­‐5   days   
after   the   OPN2002/3   becomes   non-­‐operational   due   to   an   empty   battery,   which   is   
sooner   than   the   OPN2001.   When   this   occurs,   this   will   cause   the   time   to   be   reset   to   
1-­‐1-­‐1970   00:00.   If   the   OPN2002/3   isn't   regularly   used,   it   might   be   necessary   that,   
before   retrieving   any   barcode   data,   the   current   time   is   read   from   the   OPN2002/3.   
If   the   retrieved   time   doesn't   match   the   time   of   the   PC,   then   the   correct   time   can   be   
sent   to   the   OPN2002/3   and   incorrect   time/date   stamps   of   barcode   data   can   be   
corrected   using   the   difference   between   the   time   of   the   OPN2002/3   and   the   PC.
