Loading Software on the OPN2002

To load a new OS or application onto the OPN2002, you will need a mini-USB cable (which is supplied with the OPN2002) or the CRD2000 cradle.
To load an OS or application file, please follow the instructions below.
USB Cable
Multi-Cradle Currently, it is not yet possible to load software on multiple OPN2002s at the same time. Therefore, it is mandatory to place
only one OPN2002 in the cradle at a time. To do this, follow the instructions below.
IMPORTANT (!):
If you try to load multiple OPN2002s simultaneously with Appload, the end result will be OPN2002s with faulty software that
will need to be restored by loading the software again (one at a time). See the 'trouble shooting' section for more information
about loading software on OPN2002s with faulty or crashing software.
Bluetooth <Currently not supported>

Loading Software on the OPN2003/4

To load a new OS or application onto the OPN2003/4, you will need a mini-USB.
Please follow the instructions below.

Other Available OPN2002 Applications

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

Software V3510x, V3727x: OPN2001 Simulation Application

This application turns the OPN2002/3/4 into an OPN2001 compatible batch scanner. V3510x is for the OPN2002/3 and 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 a standard OPN2001 (without Bluetooth or custom applications), please note the following (hardware) differences:
• When rarely used, the battery of the OPN2002/3 runs down quicker than the battery of the OPN2001. The OPN2002/3 can operate normally for about
30 days under low use conditions.
• The OPN does not support laser aiming (laser dot)
• The OPN cannot change its scan angle to shorten the laser line
• Unlike the OPN2001, the OPN2002/3 will lose its time and date within four or five days after the OPN2002/3 becomes non-operational due to a drained
battery, which is sooner than the OPN2001. A drained battery will cause the time to be reset to 1-1-1970 00:00. If the OPN2002/3 is not regularly used, it
might be necessary, before retrieving any barcode data, to compare the current time to the time which is read from the OPN2002/3. If the retrieved time
does not 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.
