Overview
The OPN2005/6 and PX20 barcode terminals are, by default, supplied with this Bluetooth
demo application that demonstrates
the devices’ Bluetooth capabilities. Since both terminals
don ’t have a display to show instructions nor have a keyboard to change the settings, a user
interface is implemented that consists entirely of using just the two keys and reading
barcodes. This brief setup guide describes the features as well as instructions to be able to
use this demo application.
More product details, additional support or configuration options to your own preferences (by
Universal menu book) will be updated at
www.opticon.com
Information about how to install and use a Bluetooth stack on your remote device, like a PC or
mobile device, please check the manual of your Bluetooth device.
