1 Overview
The OPN-2005/6, RS-3000 and PX-20 barcode terminals (referred to in this document as; ’’Bluetooth companion
scanners’’) are, by default, supplied with this Bluetooth application that enables all its Bluetooth capabilities. Since
the companion scanners 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 application.
More product details, additional support or configuration options to your own preferences (by Universal menu book)
will be updated at www.opticon.com and http://opticonfigure.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.
