Page 6: Ose Universal Menu Book Support
3.2 OSE Universal Menu Book support The barcode readers this demo application supports can be configured by scanning various configuration barcodes found in our Universal Menu Book*. This makes it possible to customize your barcode reader without having to actually change the source code of this demo application. The OPN/PX20 supports (most of the) menu options listed in the following chapters: 1. -
Page 7: Barcode Database File
4 Barcode database file All scanned unique barcodes are stored in a database file with non-fixed length records. Besides the barcode data, the quantity, serial number and a date/time stamp can be stored. The default format of each record in the database file is: <Barcode>,<serial #>,<hh:mm:ss>,<dd/mm/yyyy>... -
Page 8: Scanning Barcodes

Page 9: Installing Drivers
7.1 USB-VCP drivers To be able to communicate with the barcode readers using USB-VCP, you will need to have Opticon’s USB driver installed on your PC. This driver can be found on our website on the 'Service and Support' page. - Page 10 Due to the limited amount of flash memory inside the barcode readers the size of the file system is rather small, being about 1MB. This is enough space for storing barcodes, but not for using the barcode readers as a portable hard drive.

Page 11: Using The Usb-Vcp Interface
9 Using the USB-VCP interface When the USB-VCP interface has been selected (see chapter 3.1), the barcode database file can be transmitted to a local PC using the OseComm or NetO file transfer protocols. To be able to receive the files on the host, you'll need OseComm32 or NetO32 installed. -

In the Receive Files(s) Dialog the task can be configured as shown in the following image. Finally, select ‘Options’ > ‘Start Protocol’. More information about additional OseComm32 features can be found in the help file of OseComm32. 9.2 Neto32 When the USB-VCP interface has been selected (see chapter 3.1) and the NetO protocol (see Appendix A), then the barcode database file can be transmitted to a remote PC or laptop using NetO32. - Page 13 When using USB-VCP and the USB cable to retrieve your data, then the RS232 configuration of NetO32 is limited to selecting the correct COM-port of your device in the RS232 configuration window of NetO32. However, when using the USB cable it's not possible to keep NetO32 running in the background due to the fact that the USB COM-port won't be present on your system until you've physically connected your device to your USB port.

Page 16: Trouble Shooting
11.1 Trouble shooting Since the barcode readers don't have a display, they also don't have a system menu to resort to when a crashing application or OS prevents you from loading new software on your barcode reader. For this reason the barcode readers have a few escape mechanisms to allow you to restart, halt your application, and/or install new software. -
