  • 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>,<Quantity>,<serial #>,<hh:mm:ss>,<dd/mm/yyyy>...
  • Page 8: Scanning Barcodes

    5 Scanning barcodes This demo application uses the trigger button to enable the scan engine to scan barcodes. If a barcode is read using the trigger key and is successfully read, a good-read beep is sounded and a green good- read LED is shown.
  • 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: 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.
  • Page 11: Neto32

    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 12 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.

    10 Loading software on the barcode reader The following chapter will describe how to load new software onto the barcode readers. Important note: When installing a new operating system firmware or application firmware on the barcode reader it’s possible that any barcode data left on the device will be lost! 10.1 Software codes The barcode readers run an embedded OS (operating system) and an embedded application.

  • Page 15: 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.
