In this manual, you will find detailed instructions on how to set up your OPN-6000, connect it to different devices, and perform barcode scanning tasks efficiently. We will cover everything from basic operations to advanced features, ensuring that you can maximize the capabilities of your scanner.
2 Overview The OPN-6000 barcode companion scanner is an innovative device designed to streamline barcode scanning tasks with ease and efficiency. In this chapter, we will provide you with an overview of the OPN-6000, highlighting its key features and capabilities.
User manual - OPN-6000 - Rev 1.0 2.2 Applications The versatility of the OPN-6000 makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, including: • Bluetooth BLE HID mode (Keyboard) • Bluetooth BLE mode (for OptiConnect) • OptiConnect for iOS, Mac OS, Android and Windows...
3.2 Charging Your OPN-6000 Before using your OPN-6000 for the first time, it is important to note that the scanner will arrive with a less than full battery out of the box. While it is not mandatory to fully charge the battery before initial use, ensuring that the battery is adequately charged is still recommended for optimal performance.
5. Repeat the scanning process as needed for additional barcodes. * If the OPN-6000 is currently not connected by Bluetooth or USB or is in data collector mode, the good-read indication is generally shorter, to indicate the barcode is stored in memory instead of being transmitted.
2. Ensure that Bluetooth is enabled on the device you wish to connect to, such as a smartphone or tablet. 3. Press and hold the Function key on the OPN-6000 scanner for 3 seconds. The LED starts blinking blue indicating that the scanner is in pairing mode.
Bluetooth Low Energy (EBLE) 6 How to connect to USB The OPN-6000 scanner can also connect directly to computers and other devices via USB for wired data transmission and charging. The following USB operating modes are available, which will be described in the following chapters: •...
User manual - OPN-6000 - Rev 1.0 6.2 USB Keyboard (HID) barcode scanner The OPN-6000 can be used like a standard USB HID barcode scanner by reading the label below: USB-HID (SU) Follow these steps to connect your OPN-6000 scanner in USB HID mode: 1.
*Note that the use of the “quantity field” is not supported in OPN-2001 mode”. 6.4 Batch modes (USB-MSD / OseComm) The batch modes allow the OPN-6000 to save scanned barcode data into a file on the device, and for the devices to deliver the scanned barcode data file to a local PC.
User manual - OPN-6000 - Rev 1.0 6.4.3 Read-only vs Read/write When the MSD mode has been selected, the companion scanner will behave like a read-only USB mass storage device when connected to USB. The file system has been made read-only (write protected) due to issues with Windows 8.1 and later, causing the file system to become corrupt when the device was disconnected without performing a safe removal.
User manual - OPN-6000 - Rev 1.0 6.4.4 Data Collector mode (OseComm) Like USB-MSD mode, the scanner can be configured as OseComm compatible data collector and output the barcode data as file by its USB serial port. Scan the configuration label below to enter Data collector mode: Data collector Mode (OPND) When the scanner is connected to a PC in data collector mode (OseComm) a file called 'SCANNED.TXT' is...

User manual - OPN-6000 - Rev 1.0 Next, go to ‘Protocol Tasks’, select ‘Receive File(s)’ under ‘Task Group’ and press ‘Add task’. In the Receive Files(s) Dialog the task can be configured as shown in the following image. Page 16 of 27...
User manual - OPN-6000 - Rev 1.0 Make sure the OseComm application has permission to write files on the selected locations folder. Finally, select ‘Options’ > ‘Start Protocol’. The file will now automatically be downloaded to the PC and deleted from the scanner when the scanner is connected to the correct comport.
7.2 CDC driver If there are some issues using the Opticon driver it is possible to use the alternative USB-CDC driver (also used by most Opticon 2D barcode readers). This can be helpful for Linux and MAC compatibility. Also, if you have a driver issue but need to update the firmware, it is possible to use this CDC driver.
User manual - OPN-6000 - Rev 1.0 Appendix A: Batch mode scan behaviour The scan behaviour in batch mode can be customized by specifying the behaviour of the function key and specifying the behaviour on scanning of duplicate barcodes. A.1 Good read / LED behavior 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.
User manual - OPN-6000 - Rev 1.0 Use the labels below to configure the negative quantity behaviour: A.3 Use of summed quantities (quantity field) By default, all barcodes are stored separately. However, in batch mode it is also possible to store how many times a barcode has been read.
User manual - OPN-6000 - Rev 1.0 Appendix B: Database output formatting In batch mode, the default output format of each record in the database file (SCANNED.TXT) is: [Barcode],[serial #],[hh:mm:ss],[dd/mm/yyyy] However, batch mode allows you to customize this format to make it suitable for your own application. The following aspects of the output format are configurable.
